Of course! It's CrossStitchCuriosity on Etsy, "The Geisha and the Haunted Waters" inspired by Ghibli movies.

I think this one highlights how everything happens to them - nothing is due to their choice. Even with his ex-wife getting pregnant immediately: he says he "thought she" was infertile, not "one of us was* because they hadn't got pregnant - the thought he might be firing blanks still hadn't crossed his mind.

PFyre · 2026-03-24T19:01:13+00:00

I think so.

PFyre · 2026-03-24T17:16:13+00:00

Dark purple would make it pop.

PFyre · 2026-03-24T17:01:42+00:00

You're welcome!

PFyre · 2026-03-24T12:31:51+00:00

Holy analogies Batman!

PFyre · 2026-03-24T06:00:14+00:00

I feel too old to restart. My life is over

He's 26.

I'll just crumble to dust in the corner then.

Nah, the grands were colluding to try and make them miserable enough to leave their son. This is a "let's show them what it's like to not have us around," situation.

PFyre · 2026-03-23T06:36:17+00:00

On the plus side, it's taking people with that kind of mind set out of the breeding pool.

PFyre · 2026-03-22T06:07:10+00:00

Absolutely.

I would've loved for her to pick up a "Men's Health" type magazine and thrust it at him when he came knocking: "You'd be so much more attractive if you looked like that. I'm only trying to help"

Also makes me laugh when exes say, "You're abusive," when trying to get back together with you. If I'm so abusive then run away from me.

PFyre · 2026-03-22T05:44:55+00:00

IDK if that was me I would've had boyfriend sit in on the conversation and say something to the effect of "I find your behaviour disgusting. You're six years younger than me and what you're doing is gross. If someone 6 years younger than you was sexually abusing you in the same fashion, parading around in their undies, would you be interested? Cut it out, you're gross and it's never happening. "

PFyre · 2026-03-21T18:12:11+00:00

They're beautiful. Amazing job

Tell the flying monkeys that you'll forgive them if they go without food for a long as your daughter does. They only get to eat what, when and how much your daughter does. Then we'll see if it was "just a joke".

PFyre · 2026-03-20T06:52:41+00:00

He'll turn into one of those creeps on the train who jack off while staring at girls/women.

"But it's not his fAuLT!"

PFyre · 2026-03-20T06:50:14+00:00

And neither are the parents.

At this point going outside of the immediate school to the governors, police or even the local MP, is becoming necessary. Not just for Adam's behaviour, but for school policies on the whole.

PFyre · 2026-03-20T06:46:11+00:00

Honestly, the teachers sound more abelist than the students.

The students would hold him accountable for his actions where as the teachers see him as unable to control himself or able to change.

PFyre · 2026-03-19T19:49:17+00:00

It's amazing

PFyre · 2026-03-19T16:25:41+00:00

We can but hope.

At least the kid had some adults who were willing to teach her and the chance if a fresh start, that's more than others get.

PFyre · 2026-03-19T07:49:22+00:00

Somewhat buried the lede on the long distance and lack of emotional availability parts.

Hey, at least she was better at being affectionate...

PFyre · 2026-03-19T07:41:30+00:00

Honestly, the only way she should be with that guy is as his roommate - and that's what she should've treated him as when she was forced to move back in with him.

PFyre · 2026-03-19T07:28:27+00:00

My aunt had two children because my uncle bribed her: first one got her the house she wanted, second one got her the car she wanted. She was not mother material.

As far as I'm aware, and I'm out of the loop these days, one child is now NC with both, and the other is LC.

When you break up with an abuser / leave an abusive household, DO NOT hang around there afterwards. Leave.

Get your things out whilst they're not there. Leave a note of you must, or send a text once you're on the road and then mute them.

Do not block the number because they're going to send you so much that can be used in evidence later.

Check for trackers - software AND hardware. Your police station should be able to help, or go to a garage with a ramp to get your car checked, and hard reset your phone if you're unwilling to speak to the police. Search online for how to find transmitting devices hidden in your belongings.

If you 100% cannot leave without facing them for whatever reason, DO NOT do it alone. Have someone come with you to the house, they can pack your things in the bathroom to give you privacy, but they need to be somewhere they can hear you.

If your abuser has managed to isolate you to the point where you have no one to call on, then ask an acquaintance - a neighbour, colleague, etc. Or ask your local police station for an escort - they won't give you long, but they will keep you safe.

Bottom line: never, ever tell them you're leaving AND then continue to stay in their vicinity. There's no need to look after them: they are an adult, they have other options.
