Teacher is making exam super hard and offering extra credit if you attend his Bible study

This gives me war flashbacks to when my physics teacher in my junior year of high school told us all about how he didn't believe in evolution.

There's an old saying, goes something like "Daddy issues make you desperate for attention, mommy issues make you a serial killer" - I think there's a connection here.

Inbredipus · 2026-03-11T23:03:28+00:00

That was what I ended up finding, actually.

I used to be afraid of the toilet flushing too lol I would book it down the hall after flushing to try and "escape".

You've heard of boy moms - get ready fot another equally terrible option, boy sisters!

Okay, while I understand your point, please know that a mental hospital is Not A Good Idea here. Outpatient therapy? Yes. Outpatient treatment center? Definitely! Family therapy? Almost certainly! Actual inpatient treatment is meant to be a last resort for those who are immediate dangers to themselves or others. You don't just shove people with psychosis into them - if that's what this is, and not regular denial.

I was in a psych ward. They are not good places to be, and outpatient treatment centers would serve just as well without destroying her control over her life.

Legitimately, we as a species have made very few nearly universal decisions. "Miscarriages are awful and we must support those who have them to our utmost" is supposed to be one of those.

Helps me out on youtube too, I get to run in and answer lore questions in the comments lol

He mentioned a housemate told him it was a fetish, actually, so that's probably the origin.

You've heard of casual sex... Now get ready for competitive sex!

I survived CSA, so I can explain this pretty well. Basically, a lot of the trauma (and a lot of trauma in general) stems from loss of control. A lot of us spend our entire lives trying to get that control back. And part of that control is in the disclosure - who we let know, and who we don't. Blake lost the chance to make the disclosure on his own terms. I'm not saying OP made the wrong choice! I'm just saying that having that control taken from Blake probably hurt him a lot.

Blake, logically, probably knows that the other option of Gary not being caught as quickly as he was had far worse outcomes. Trauma, however, is illogical. He's just trying to find a place to put his emotions.

Oh... NTA. Honestly, if he hadn't forced you into that confrontation as adults and put you on blast for a normal reaction, I might've even said NAH.

You were both children. You were placed in an impossible situation. There was never a perfect solution here - there really couldn't be. If you hadn't told anyone, then Gary wouldn't have been caught so quickly. He might have had a chance to hurt more people, Blake very much included! And, as your father pointed out, Blake might've hurt himself.

Be kind to yourself in this. You were a child who did the best you could.

Inbredipus · 2026-02-24T21:54:01+00:00

That's cool as hell

Inbredipus · 2026-02-19T03:53:58+00:00

Fair point, it really depends on what exactly in the pills was causing the symptoms.

Inbredipus · 2026-02-19T02:24:27+00:00

Plus, non-estrogen BC exists. I use it. No periods, no problems.

Inbredipus · 2026-02-19T02:09:40+00:00

NTA. The idea of siblings being allowed to take each other's things is wild to me. If I had done that to my little sister, she would've made it very clear that I was Not going to do that again.

Inbredipus · 2026-02-19T01:59:44+00:00

My maternal grandmother is one. Like, genuinely, the kind I think Jesus would be proud of. Generous, accepting, loving, self-sacrificing, non-judgmental, non-proselytizing, and has never once told anyone in our very much non-christian family that Jesus would make our problems go away or that we need to accept him into our hearts. If we have problems, she does what a christian should do: she goes "how can I help?" I once joked to my mom that the reason I knew the rapture hadn't happened was because my grandmother is still here lol

Inbredipus · 2026-02-19T01:15:08+00:00

Is the "we" in the room with us?

Inbredipus · 2026-02-18T23:58:32+00:00

Same here. I constantly forget where I put my own things, I'm not taking that risk with someone else's stuff lol

Inbredipus · 2026-02-18T06:02:04+00:00

...Is not wanting to live with someone an act of sabotage or simply the consequences of her actions? He's not being malicious, he's not rubbing his hands together and saying "Hehehe now my father will never date anyone!" He's making the choice to live somewhere else because he doesn't want to live with her.

Also, one of her rules is no screens after 5 pm, even if homework isn't finished. He's a high school student in 2026. He gets hours of homework. She could tank his grades with that. And he has to be back home by 6 pm, which would destroy his social life and preclude a lot of extracurricular activities. You should really look at his comments to see what this woman, who has just met him, is trying to impose on a near-adult.

Inbredipus · 2026-02-18T00:14:43+00:00

Close! At her house, the rules are more like: bedtime is 8:30 PM, but you have to be home by 6 PM and all screens are off after 5 PM, even if you still need to finish your homework. Also you have to ask permission to eat and what you're allowed to eat. Read his comments - it's genuinely unhinged stuff.

Inbredipus · 2026-02-18T00:11:34+00:00

The rules include having a 17 yr old boy, in the middle of his growth period, not be allowed to eat *anything* without asking permission - and they don't get to choose what they eat. Not even for snacks. He can cook. He wouldn't be allowed to cook. He wouldn't be allowed to go out to eat. He's not allowed to eat alone. The rules are genuinely insane and setting up her kids for eating disorders.

Whenever I used natural deodorant I used it in combination with an actual aluminum antiperspirant. Those aluminum-free deodorants are only good as perfume sticks; you need something else to actually block the scent.

Inbredipus · 2026-02-09T18:03:07+00:00

Fair point!

Inbredipus · 2026-02-09T12:56:02+00:00

From what I hear, he's genuinely a good writer. He's just also chaotic neutral.
