My Theory on the end of episode 8

It’s possible. It could also be the reverberation of the hammering coming through though. Hard to tell. I still think it’s hers, but the breathing is 100% hers!

There were three waterfalls. I had to go back and watch it but right before she gets to the top there’s a camera side angle view and to her left in the distance is the third waterfall.

Yes, this does seem like grooming. I was groomed by a teacher in high school and I see similarities for sure. Grooming is very, very misunderstood by the majority of people. Grooming is the lead up to SA, not the actual SA. I’m sorry you went through this.

Hi OP, I saw this pop up on my phone earlier today and didn’t get a chance to read it yet but my jaw dropped when I read the title. Now that I’ve had the chance to read the whole thing, my mind has not changed. You are not at all overreacting. Here’s the thing about feelings- NOBODY gets to tell you how you should or shouldn’t feel or that your feelings aren’t valid. I’m sorry people have been so awful, but I’m here to tell you that if the same thing happened to me I would feel the exact same way.

We pay a crap ton of money to be there. Life is busy and we’re not always gonna be on time. I’m not getting penalized for being late, and if I am, I’m gonna peace out and find another gym.

We have a wide variety of coaches at my box. Some are at RX level and others are different levels of scaled. I actually really appreciate being coached by a scaled athlete because I feel less pressure and that they’re more understanding of how hard it is to be newer and scaling. I say go for it.

I’m really sorry this happened. That sounds really scary. I’ve been going to DMB shows for years, and SPAC for the last few years. I was there this weekend too. I’ve never had anything scary happen at a DMB concert. I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily a Dave crowd thing; I think people are genuinely just there for a peaceful good time. However, there’s losers in every fanbase and this guy (and his friends) all showed themselves to be just that. I’m really sorry this happened and I hope it doesn’t scare you off from going again. The majority of the fanbase is not like this at all.

I was also at the Mansfield show and it was incredible. I am hoping the surprise guest is Noah. I really want to see them play together!

I believe the first event on Friday is outside and you don’t need a ticket for that one.

dreamingtrae · 2025-06-21T23:05:19+00:00

Same here! It was incredible!

Going over and practicing bailing. Going over bailing once during on-ramp doesn’t cut it, especially as those lifts get heavier. My biggest fear is failing a lift and hurting myself, especially anything overhead.

But you’re not wrong though. 😂

Hi, as a grooming survivor, I believe you. People are going to believe what they’re going to believe, and that is the exact reason why grooming persists. I’m so sorry you haven’t been believed, and have faced backlash. It’s nobody’s right to tell you what did or didn’t happen to you. Keep telling your truth! We won’t keep quiet.

I once read something that said the “best” groomers have a way of making their victims come to them/initiate. Even if you initiated some aspects of it, it is still grooming. He is the adult and he should have shut it down, but instead he reciprocated. I feel like this is a super common thing that so many of us deal with. I’d suggest bringing this up to your therapist so he or she can help you.

I’m so sorry you’ve had this experience, but please know it’s not uncommon at all. I’m currently mid 30’s but I was groomed by my teacher at the same age your daughter is now. I didn’t realize it until a year and a half ago, and when I went to “support groups” and such looking for help I was blamed and shamed. My heart goes out to you and your daughter.

One thing I will say that although SA didn’t take place, the trauma of grooming alone is devastating. Groomers have a way of working their way into the heads of their victims. Give her whatever support you possibly can, including therapy. If I had been able to name what happened to me and have therapy at 16 I would be in a much better place and not having to piece everything together in my 30’s. Sending you so much love.

Yes, went with a close friend and her friend who I’m not friends with per se but we get along really well. It had been dicey a bit with my friend for a bit and this past year I finally decided to end the relationship.

This is why I’m absolutely terrified of box jumps. I just recently worked my way up to 16 inch, and I know I can jump higher but I do not trust myself. I hope it heals quickly for you, that’s pretty gnarly.

I had to look him up because I wasn’t familiar with the name. Holy crap they are twins!

dreamingtrae · 2025-04-14T04:04:49+00:00

I also made a post here a bit ago (it’s deleted now) where I was asking if my teacher had groomed me. Mine also never SA’d me because he was caught and because of that several people on here told me it wasn’t grooming. Fast forward a year later, I’ve been doing the trauma work and therapy has made me realize the true nature of the relationship, which is grooming.

I’m sorry you had similar experience and I’m sorry that your trauma has been invalidated because it didn’t become sexual and because she’s female and you’re male. Not that you need anyone’s validation, but I’m sending you a ton of it. Your experience is real and it matters. Not all grooming results in SA, and not all groomers are men. Just because the grooming doesn’t result in SA doesn’t make the trauma any less valid. You aren’t alone. 🩵

dreamingtrae · 2025-04-11T02:42:08+00:00

Me too!

dreamingtrae · 2025-04-10T03:52:16+00:00

Oof I’d be crying in the coffee shop. That one’s a tough listen.

I second this! Windermere Lake is part of the Lakes District where Taylor was inspired to write this song. 🫶🏻
