    I’m a hiker. That man endangered her life and Courtney is 100% right that he kidnapped her. I can only imagine what he actually said to her while describing her body. I hope the group went beyond kicking him out and told other clubs what he did.

      True in effect, but the point being that it wasn't malicious as such even when that would've been fully justified, much less was it even her intent to inflict harm.
      She was so clearly focused on doing everything possible to hedge her bets of coming out on top, her judgment was completely unclouded by the shitstorm around her, she wasted no energy being vindictive and ultimately did better than 99% of people coulda done to ensure the best outcome for everyone primarily her kids.

    The hiking story: We are just glossing over that that man still thinks he has a shot? Or, more so, he absolutely refuses to take "no" for an answer.
    That her saying "stay as far away from me as possible" somehow translates in his mind to "She doesn't really want me to leave her alone. She's into me, she's just temporarily confused about that.".

      ​@@thedudefromrobloxx you are deciding to diagnose a predator you know only from a post, and chronically online is sadly not true since this woman had to experience the terror of him isolating her and sexually harrassing her. To top the facts this comenter pointed out, a dangerous person overall. I've seen you respond the same to a bunch of comments. And I think you should reconsider, because by how you talk about it, it plays down what he did (as if it was a stupid weirdo and not calculated and sharing a lot of ideas born of systematic objectification of women) and atribute too much to a neurodivergency you don't know if he has (which comes across as atributing bad acts to neurodivergency, and not who he really is or what he thinks)

Also he has visitation only at a facility because he had another violent outburst when the oldest child was asking him questions at their second meetup so the judge made it a requirement that there be tighter supervision (didn't hit the kid but threw stuff around)

    • @pomegranate818
      @pomegranate818 ปีที่แล้ว +66

      i think as well her being pregnant with a dying father & already having two very young kids made it very easy for the parents to back her.
      the grandparents obviously want to foster a good relationship with their grandkids & ensure they are kept safe & happy. turning on the OP & defending their son would have just meant they lost their grandchildren.
      & OP mentioned a few times that her former best friend has been problematic, as well as how they grew up together from babies. so her parents likely see OP as a second daughter & having their actual daughter hurt her in this way when she is so vulnerable (again, pregnant, young kids, dying father) was the last straw for them.
      i know they mentioned finding the parents reactions rare & refreshing, but given all the variables at play here i think only a monster would be against OP in this scenario.

But it's definitely not the entire problem with him, as he made it to 19 without previously learning that you can't treat women like Sims characters to make them date you.

      We have to bring femicide into this discussion.
      Femicide is when women are murdered because they're women, or out of hatred for women. Every single day 238 women are killed intentionally, according to United Nations Population statistics.
      These murders are typically committed by (in most cases cis-male) exes.
      We have to raise awareness about this problem. And we have to keep femicide in the backs of our heads when we read stories like these. A pregnant woman shares with us how she, her children and her father were chased by a violent ex (who had to be restrained during an earlier meeting with all parents).

    Update for Tyler & Jess Story 9 days ago:
    First off unfortunately her father has passed away and OP is doing okay as she knew it was coming but still has her bad days.
    Tyler has ghosted her and her kids( I say her Kids cause he no contact and doesn’t seem to care) He is remarried and has a kid on the way. His parents were sent an invitation but refused to go.
    Jess however is a different story, not too long ago she snuck into OPs house while OP was cooking and Jake was outside with the kids. OP held Jess at knifepoint screaming at her to get out. Jake heard the yelling came in and restrained her. Jess began yelling she came there to beg for forgiveness and then yelled she would ruin OPs life. The police got involved and Jess lied her butt off saying she was lured over there and Jake attacked her. The cops did not buy her story and a protection order was put in place. Then OP contacted the school and alerted them and made it crystal clear who were the only people allowed to pick up the kids just in case.
    To end on a more happy note, Jake has left the military has been back since Christmas and they are dating but taking it slow.

Here in Brazil we take exames to get to college and with my grades I could've gotten in any course I wanted, but I still chose History. His grades, though, didn't afford him that luxury. He got into a more broad couse of general humanities so later he could choose Sociology.

      ​@@wakisabeas a guy who has been in a similar situation and did confess my feelings, I find his timing distasteful and selfish even though I don't think he is a bad guy. When someone is vulnerable and has just suffered a betrayal and feels alone, sure, you can think to yourself that letting them know people will still want them and be interested in them and love them is somehow helping, but it's also somewhat predatory if it works in your favor and it can be devastating to them if you've been there as their support through this and they don't want to take it anywhere because no matter how many times you say it doesn't need to go anywhere or even be addressed and that it's okay if they're not interested and you're not going to try to pursue them romantically it can place a seed of doubt into their mind about whether you're being a good friend who is there for them because you love them as a supporting friend or if you have ulterior motives leading to them potentially feeling significantly more alone and betrayed. He's not instantly a jerk for it, but it was not the time and place for it in my honest opinion.

    The "Just wanted to get to know her" guy almost made me sympathetic until I realized just how much of a creep he was.
    As someone with autism I can understand having very formal and blunt language, especially when typing. However, that doesn't excuse his objectification of her and his doubling down when said creepiness was pointed out to him. I can also understand on a base level how, in his mind, this was an opportunity to connect with someone. I can even understand checking out the trail beforehand because he wanted to be prepared.
    Where I draw the line is that instead of just talking to her during the scheduled three hours of walking, he felt the need to lie to her and mislead her. As a rule of thumb, I don't like lying, but especially during this circumstance. The thought of being stuck on a trail with a stranger for six hours - no matter what issues they may or may not have - but especially if that person is constantly making unwanted advances towards me, is horrifying. And I truly feel for that poor woman.
    It's really hard to listen to some of these stories because I want to give someone the benefit of the doubt, especially when there are aspects of them I can relate to, but honestly, that guy is so insane that all my sympathy for him evaporated the moment he started objectifying her. And it withered away into nothing the second he started telling her the maps were wrong. This guy definitely needs social interaction, but probably with a therapist first.

    • @raelrojas5263
      @raelrojas5263 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

      This guy needs to be watched, and a therapy not focused on him feeling better but one that is focused on deprogramming his predatorial behaviour. As you say he barely sees her as anything other than an object for him to use, he also continues to think "she will come to her senses" which shows he doesn't respect a "no I never want to see you again". This was isolating and sexually harrassing a woman, but I fear what he could do next.

      Fanfic is a great medium. It can be just fun, a hobby, practice or lead into money-making, career, published authors and all of those are valid.

      Just wanted to come back for a small update :) Baby is here! He was born slightly premature but no nicu stay was needed. He was 5lbs 9oz and 19” and absolutely beautiful. Angie was in the room with me when I had him while MIL stayed with the other littles. My older two are obsessed with their baby brother and it makes my heart happy.
      MIL and Angie are taking turns spending the night and days with me for the first six weeks until we get acclimated. I told them they didn’t have to but they insisted. Honestly I’m grateful for it. I can feel the waves of PPD trying to drag me under and my mental health really hasn’t been doing so good (don’t worry my therapist knows and we’re working through it). Knowing that this baby never gets to know and feel the love of my dad has really been hurting and the fact that this is the only grand baby he didn’t get to meet. I miss him like crazy and wish he was still here.
      Jake was planning on staying in for another two years to retire but they offered him “early retirement” (not because anything going on with me or this whole situation, there was a situation at work. He didn’t do anything wrong lol) so within the next six months he’ll be moving back home. He’s going to try house hunting and find a place before he comes home but since he isn’t allowed to take any leave during this time to view places since he has to work on his exit stuff there’s a chance he’ll be temporarily living with me until he finds a place. No he isn’t moving in permanently lol. He might even just get an apartment for a year and then buy a house.
      There’s also some drama with Tyler already because he’s pissed I wouldn’t let him in the room when I had baby. So if you want any more updates on that front I’ll provide when I’m not overwhelmed.
      Love you all, thank you all for being my ear when I need to vent and get everything off my chest. I hope all of your days are wonderful today and everything goes your way.

"Jake", Jess's brother, remains an active part in her life but she is not ready for anything romantic, but he's also back in California since the military wouldn't give him more leave. Tyler is working out his anger issues in therapy, but she still doesn't feel like having her kids around him is safe. They ended up going for a dissolution instead of a divorce and she got full custody. Jess's mom is still 100% on OPs side and is an active part in her and her kids life.

And she went about it in such a smart way and she seems to have a lovely support system in place for the ongoing tough times. That was a heart-wrenching read.

    The story with OP and Tyler is crazy, and I'm so happy she has full support and has it handled and the fact she knows she deserves better than that, because it's true. Anyone in that situation or something similar deserves better, I understand wanting to get back at someone for that and the hurt they've caused but as someone whose parents have both cheated on each other and watched the attempts of psychological warfare I can realize for myself what I do and do not want in my relationship, and I hope this story helps people realize what they want for themselves and their relationships.
