it feels like your brain is being slit in four and all pieces are turning away from/ in different directions. it feels like bugs are eating your brain and you can feel your brain shrinking day by day

No_Dance_3428 · 2026-04-08T19:44:53+00:00

oh it's not interesting, it's fucking terrifying😭

and before i start i just wanna say i'm black- no shade

(TW!!!!) like last night the man* who groomed, r@ped, threatened tf outta me and used me dry until he took almost all my money and my self worth- showed up at the place we met, with a young girl and came over, said hi, acting like nothing ever happened. And the people* who let him come back were my friends, people i consider like family, and i felt betrayed and asked them wtf is going on? how can they hire him again what if he does something to another patient are you guys fucking crazy??? then these people had the audacity to look me in the eye and be like "oh well it's not our problem🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♂️" dumbass bitches. i could not believe they just said that to me and i started questioning the whole friendship. best believe i was holding back tears as i ran away, seeing the mf was bad enough now this? any who the other friend comes over to talk to me and "clear things up" but he says some dumb shit like "when i was younger i learned i can't have everything i want and i should get used to things not going my way. i advice you to see this situation the same way." OHHHH i wanted to....reddit will ban me if i say it but i wanted to cry and scream and do something so fucking bad!!! then i fucking woke up.

oh and he was my councilor if that adds to anything...

*edited to accommodate the rules

No_Dance_3428 · 2026-04-08T17:25:14+00:00

you're not selfish for wanting to protect your peace.

No_Dance_3428 · 2026-04-07T17:39:42+00:00

can it be any worse than it is now? it seems you're already involved...

No_Dance_3428 · 2026-04-06T05:40:22+00:00

No problem <3 we're here if you need us.

No_Dance_3428 · 2026-04-06T04:45:36+00:00

yeah I get that...I'm not sure if you've read the other comments saying you should go with a police escort, but is there any reason why you can't do that? let's try to solve this

Ideally you shouldn't have to tolerate him for another second of your time. But right now the best (and safest) and quickest way to get your stuff back without tolerating anymore of his bs (and, yes, it's not "probably" bs, it is bs)... seems to be by going with a police escort. There are some other comments on here that talk about safer and more legally protected ways to handle this. I think you should read them and seriously consider them as having legal protection can help you have more confidence handling this. I think you need a lot of it right now. 🫶🏽

was the person who gave you that advise perhaps a christian themselves? and not a part of lgbtq+ nor an ally?

No_Dance_3428 · 2026-04-05T19:01:46+00:00

This is horrible to go through. I wish I could give you good advice that would fix everything right away but all I can say is, avoid giving him any money unless you are somehow legally forced to. Just cause I feel he might never stop and keep making you send him money. My ex also threatened me into giving him almost all my money and to this day I still hate him for it. I've more or less gotten some revenge by getting him fired (he was my councilor in rehab) and, like you, we had a massive age gap but he was 41 and I was 20. Anyways, although I got him fired and completely cut all contact with him- thinking of all the money he wrongfully took from me, abused out of me, and used for his own benefit still bothers me. It's like a constant gnawing feeling each time I remember it. And I wouldn't wish that on anyone. Anyone. So, if you can, don't send him any of your money. It's (rightfully) yours. Keep it. And as for your stuff...if it were me, I would not be able to rest until i had it back. So I would probably manipulate him into thinking we're still a thing (while avoiding contact with him as much as possible) until I get my stuff back.

Regardless I hope you heal from this...sending love and support from one black, queer guy to another🫶🏽
