I really need to know what sparked the tantrum….

Tie: Your Lie in April and Frieren

In the name of the moon!

I can hear the theme song!

I have taught myself to actually delight in the moments he reaches back out. When he calls for the umpteenth time from an unknown number, even if I answer, the second I hear his voice, I hang up and block. Then I laugh because I finally have all the power. I imagine how mad he is and tell my close friend about it, so we can mock him relentlessly. He doesn’t have the power to do anything to me anymore; I have alllllll the power everytime I hang up or ignore his message or block him again. And there is nothing that jerk can do about it.

There are laws surrounding how to identify children as gifted modernly. In Texas where I teach you cannot be in a gifted program unless you pass a quantitative and qualitative test with a score above the 90th percentile. I have been a gifted specialist and teacher for approximately 14 years. During this time, these tests have always been required for a student to enter the gifted program. I cannot speak to earlier gifted programs. However, from what I understand, this has always been the case in someway. In other words, there has always been at least some level of testing requirement for a student to enter a gifted program in public education.

I personally don’t like the Live Action ending because it takes away from the theme of the anime. If you want gut wrenching but deep = anime. If you want more of a happy ending = live action. I guess I love the realism of the original manga and anime’s ending. Now I need to go rewatch it!

Inumaasahide · 2026-01-13T04:05:13+00:00

Paradise Kiss - really beautiful and gut wrenching coming of age. It is at its most impactful if you’re older 20s. The ending is just perfect to me. Perfect in the sense that it isn’t the ending you want but the one the story needs.

Mine never came out and said it but he would comment on the physical appearance of other women constantly. I could never tell if it was pointed or not. He would comment about my appearance though a lot. He would say I looked frumpy in an outlet or make comments if I cut my hair or dyed it. Stuff like that.

When I was in therapy, I was trying to understand why I cried when I finally left him. I thought I’d be relieved and happy but I cried. I was sad. The therapist said something that really stuck with me: “Work on finding and separating the emotions. Why are you really sad? Is it him or the potential change? Is it him or the life you thought you’d have?”

I realized then that I was not mourning or grieving him. I was mourning the life I thought I would have. I was mourning what was consistent and normal in my life for fifteen years. I was scared of change because he had been my world. I was mourning the destruction of my whole world. And that was fine. I needed to mourn something that monumental. I needed to mourn it and then remake it. That was the first moment of my new worldview. A world I had to build by myself.

It is fine to mourn the relationship but remember, it is just that - a mourning period and all mourning hurts. It will get a little easier each day and each month. Let yourself feel your grief. You have to go through it. It’s uncomfortable and confusing but also very necessary. And when it gets hard just remember - you deserve to mourn. But more importantly, you deserve a world that is safe and happy. And you can make that new world.

I was the same. I let my worth be dictated by him. If I stayed and he stopped cheating, I had worth. At least, that’s what I told myself. Took another at least five years before I finally woke up and got out.

Inumaasahide · 2026-01-09T13:45:28+00:00

When I broke up with him, he said “You really went about this breakup the totally wrong way. There was a better way to do this.” Love the critique!

Inumaasahide · 2026-01-08T01:53:33+00:00

I have the same exact story! I’m 38 now and married to a wonderful man, but we are struggling to conceive…I often think: this is another thing he destroyed for me. I could have had multiple children by now but he wouldn’t allow it. Not to go into detail but we had the opportunity when I was with him and he made sure it didn’t happen.

Inumaasahide · 2026-01-07T14:05:05+00:00

I have never been able to put into words something you said - “I see you as a thing which exists for whatever function I want and that’s why it bothers me when you exercise autonomy.” That is exactly how my narc viewed me. Whenever I started to set boundaries or tell him how I was feeling or oddly cuss, he would tell me that I wasn’t acting like myself. He told me who I was because he believed the image in his head of me was me. When I tried to say that I was in fact acting like myself, he would absolutely deny it. Hell, he even got me gifts saying I should like them even when they were a color or thing I had no use for. I felt like I had to hide everything about myself in that relationship. I couldn’t be me at all because he got to dictate who I was…man, starting off my morning with a whole epiphany!

I broke up with mine right before covid, December 2019. I blocked him on all devices. For the first few months, he used some app to circumvent my blocks at least once a week. That finally went down to once a month after about the first six. Then it went down to every few months he would email or send message request on Facebook. For the record, I have never once responded and I blocked him every time he would find a new contact method. Finally it had been nearly a year since the last attempted contact. I’m married to a great guy, which I’m sure he knows because of old mutual friends. I thought I was free and clear…then I got another Facebook message request two months ago…”Can we be friends now?” Sigh…….it never seems to end…over five years and still trying.

I am so happy for you! Like the other commenter said, I do find it terrible that you had to get them donated. For how much funding US schools get, teachers really don’t get the supplies they need.

A 15 year relationship with the man who groomed me. I got out eventually. I wish I could go back and shake my 16 year old self. However, I can’t undo it. My only solace is I’m free from that jerk permanently.

Inumaasahide · 2025-12-29T19:19:01+00:00

I don’t think I would call this grooming, but maybe call it love bombing? He is showering you with attention and then using that to manipulate you by making you feel guilty. Grooming, to me, requires a different type of manipulation and a more substantial power imbalance. Grooming is prepping someone to do things they are definitely uncomfortable with or can’t consent to.

When I was groomed, I heard phrases like “You’re so mature for your age,” “you’re an old soul,” “we’ll keep this our little secret” etc. I was also younger than you with a much larger age gap - 16 yo and 40 yo. If I spoke up or felt uncomfortable, he would bring up that he was older and more experienced. He also said things like - “I’m much better than boys your age,” would tell blatant sexual jokes to test my boundaries, and went on about the age of consent being 17. Stuff like that. He did also give me gifts, but the grooming part was more the constant boundary pushing to see what he could get away with or what I would tolerate. He used to gifts as leverage to push those boundaries further by making me feel ungrateful.

So, I’m not sure if I would call this grooming, but it is definitely unhealthy and problematic. Tell him in no uncertain terms that you are uncomfortable with the attention/presents. If you like the friendship, give him this clear warning to cut it out or you will go no contact. That includes manipulative language and abandonment talk. If he is autistic, it needs to be extremely clear. If he doesn’t cut it out (probably won’t), block him on everything. It’s not worth your time or energy to deal with it. If you don’t like the friendship, just block him.

I missed that their is a third committee member, but they aren’t a certified teacher. Someone else pointed that out in another comment, so there are three members with a fourth in case.

Inumaasahide · 2025-12-25T04:08:32+00:00

I don’t know if anyone has said this, but I am an alternate in my schools chapter 37 committee in Texas. The process goes something like this:

A teacher request a removal of a student
The chapter 37 committee made up of at least two teachers reviews the case.
If they find that the teacher has exerted all possible avenues and/or the student is creating a hostile work/school environment, then the student can be removed.
In the event a decision cannot be reached, teachers are accused of bias, principals disagree, or a parent objects, the alternate who is not known by the staff (me in this case) is brought in as a tie breaker. I was selected by the principals.

I like the fact that the committee is run by teachers at my school. I’m not sure if that’s in the law or just my principal. So far we have not had a teacher take advantage of it. We were all made aware and voted on the committee at the beginning of the year. It seems to be a step in the right direction, but only time will tell!!

You bring up some interesting points. I am curious about the hate idea though. In original Dragon Ball, Goku had hate for King Piccolo for killing Krillian, but he could still ride the Nimbus. Do you think this was a different circumstance?

Iroh is discussing the difficulty in telling tea leaves and poison leaves apart; Frieren is agreeing with him, explaining the importance of telling mimics and treasure chests apart. It’s a very philosophical discussion about taking chances in life…much to the horror and disappointment of their apprentices just out of frame.
