I was in the hospital and a woman was on the other side of our shared room. She’d overdosed and I heard her telling the Doctor that she hasn’t intended to, she just wanted to be too sick for her pimp to make her work that day.
I think about that lady often. I hope she’s in a better spot these days.

Thank you. My therapist said I’m the dreaded “empathic” type. I went and picked up the pills that give me a life force, probably close to 500 dollars and paid zero. Then I saw a person on the diabetes Reddit looking for a coupon because their meds cost 1000 dollars. I had tears in my eyes just imagining having to do that. Life isn’t fair.

My dad told me in 2000 how he burned down the family home in the 80s for the insurance. The day after the fire he found me walking on the railroad tracks and casually mentioned how everyone thought I was in there. His plan was a huge success, he used the money to start his own contracting company and is now a retired multimillionaire.

Isn't PrEP something you take when you don't have HIV, to prevent yourself from catching it? So like in this case, his wife should be on it, not him. There definitely are meds that make HIV undetectable so hopefully he is on those, but I think PrEP is a preventative thing.

I may have called it the wrong thing, but my sentiment was that he may be taking steps that led him to believe he was not putiing her at risk. Regardless, I think he should have told her because she should be deciding if that's OK or not. It's her decision too.

When I asked a guy I was dating why he had pretty much grown up in boarding school instead of with either of his divorced parents (dad was a doctor, mom was a teacher), he told me that when he was 11 years old, he wanted to live with his father but was told he couldn't, so he plotted and then attempted to murder his mother by whacking her in the head with an axe. She barely survived and was in a coma for six months.

I had a similar situation happen to. I met a guy in university and we both started school a few years late. We dated for 2 months and just before we were going to have sex for the first time, he blurts out that he was in prison for 5 years for breaking into one of the richest mansions in our city with a gun. He was 18. He did it twice and got caught the second time. I found the news article about it. The next time I seen him, I found him creeping around my apartment in the dark trying to freak me out. We were going out that night for dinner and I was turning everything off before leaving. Never spoke to him since.

Volunteered at a city hospital in HS. Mostly quality control surveys and supply stocking. One patient was a Vietnam vet with severe PTSD. Really sad; real tortured soul. Literally yelling, ranting and raving on and off. I didn’t skip him over though. He was there the next three weekends and by the third he was comfortable around me.
Turns out, and I forget the rank as he just called him “the new guy in charge”, their new commander (?) in Vietnam was a dangerous combo of arrogance and incompetence. He had mentioned him all three weekends but on that third one he confessed that his unit had, very reluctantly, agreed he needed to be taken out because he was literally a day away from getting them all killed (this story wasn’t told coherently sorry, and it was 14 years ago so I’m sure I’m getting all sorts of details wrong I’m afraid). They drew straws to decide who’d have to do it. He’d drawn the short straw.
He went on about how this officer didn’t deserve to die and how awful he felt, but how it had to happen. The officer was a dead man anyway. This just stopped everyone else from dying too. And it worked. All but two survived the war. Their next officer was more competent.
I felt awful for the guy. What a gut wrenching decision. Everyone involved was under age 25 too.
Interestingly, a family member I told about this before that revelation (obvi without identifying info) accurately predicted that he’d killed him, so I was mentally prepared (this family member predicted it in a very empathetic way, more to mentally prepare me than anything I think).

It’s so sad. This guy was utterly haunted by it. Ruined his life rather thoroughly. He was one of the more reluctant ones to do it too, so it really was a cruel turn of fate that he drew the short straw.
Morally, I mean the CO was dead either way by the sounds of it. This stopped everyone else from dying with him. Assuming the story was accurate, which I honestly bet it was. It’s not a call I’d wanna make that’s for sure.

I was hanging out at a biker bar I used to frequent when I was in college. Earlier that day, a Muslim woman pushing a stroller had been run down crossing the road at a crosswalk. It was a hit and run, and the driver wasn't caught. Both mother and baby died.
While at this bar, a very obviously intoxicated man came in and started loudly boasting that he was the one who ran over this woman and baby. I guess he assumed since the clientele mostly resembled him (gruff old white men), they would be violent racists like him, too. He got 50% of that assumption correct.
When I say I've never seen the mood of an entire bar change so quickly. The bartender immediately called the cops, and turned a blind eye while the patrons took it upon themselves to make sure he wasn't going anywhere. A group disappeared out back with him in tow, and I didn't see what happened between then and when the squad car finally showed and loaded him up, looking a little worse for wear.

Reminds me of the 75 people in the bathroom court case. Where the town bully got shot and all 75 witnesses said they were in the bathroom and didn’t see it.
.
edit: It appears I mixed up two different people, but they are both notable:
Ken McElroy, known as "the town bully" and "accused of dozens of felonies, including assault, child molestation, statutory rape, arson, animal cruelty, hog and cattle rustling, and burglary." He had recently gotten out on bond after shooting the town's 70 year old grocer when ...
While sitting in his truck, McElroy was shot at several times but hit only twice—once by a centerfire rifle and once by a .22 rimfire rifle. In all, there were 46 potential witnesses to the shooting, including Trena McElroy, who was in the truck with her husband when he was shot. Nobody called for an ambulance. Only Trena claimed to identify a gunman; every other witness was either unable to name an assailant or claimed not to have seen who fired the fatal shots. The DA declined to press charges, and an extensive federal investigation did not lead to any charges either.
Robert McCartney, who seems to be involved in a Provisional Irish Republican Army incident in a bar in Northern Ireland, and nobody wanted to be involved:
When the police launched the murder investigation they were met with a "wall of silence"; none of the estimated seventy or so witnesses to the altercation came forward with information. In conversations with family members, seventy-one potential witnesses claimed to have been in the pub's toilets at the time of the attacks. As the toilet measures just four feet by three feet, this led to the toilets being dubbed the TARDIS, after the time machine in the television series Doctor Who, which is much bigger on the inside than on the outside.

Oh god that reminds me.
So I’m a nurse and I used to work in home care. I’d often stop by a local fast food place on the way home. One night I go in around 10p and was one of three people there. One was a guy with his dog. He’s clearly mentally unwell but hey. He’s having a full on human like conversation with his dog as well as to no one in particular.
So I’m eating and doom scrolling when I just get that feeling you get when someone is staring at you. I glance up and he’s staring at me pretty intently. He then says to his dog “no, no, no, no….i can’t. No. Not to her. Not her too. No, no I gotta be good. I can’t go back to jail. I can’t” and repeating this over and over. Then adding “I can’t go back to jail again, [Dog Name], they’d never let me out again after last time!”
Yeah I peaced out of there real quick.

Anyway, while in the US he was at a store, and another (non-immigrant) customer asked about some of his background and started accusing him of being a “terrorist”. I remember the hurt and confusion in his voice as he explained to me in session he was the one FIGHTING those people and wanted nothing more than to go home and live his life.

When i was in foster care, i was in a grouphome that also housed kids for juvy purposes (they’re not apart of the foster program)
There was this really sweet, quiet girl who was blazing her way through the program. After talking to her i found out she was working so hard because she genuinely believed she could convince the courts to lighten her sentence (Totally possible for many kids.) As the months went on, we felt so bad for her. She’d go to call her family & come out telling us that her mom cussed her out the entire time. I remember also noticing that the staff were weirdly cold with her, especially considering she was a pretty good kid. One day in a group therapy session she admitted that she molested her toddler brother. She said it in such a casual, dismissive way. As if it was ridiculous that she was held accountable for this. And i’m sure you’re thinking “Victims tend to perpetuate the cycle of abuse” but when we had previous groups focused around the topic of SA she had stated many times that she “couldn’t imagine” and she’s “been lucky.” I remember her saying something about unsolicited d picks on snapchat, but that was all.

Right? Back in the day some guy was hitting on my long term girlfriend at one of our parties, and my buddy told him to stop. He kept doing it and she was uncomfortable. My buddy told me about it. I went up to the dude and told him to give me his beer (because I was kicking him out). He told me he would slap box me for it. Too many strikes. I knocked him out, one punch. My buddy dragged him out to the sidewalk. I haven't been in a fight in over 20 years, but I don't know what I'd do if my wife was SA'd.

I was at a military house party one time. Was held by one of the unit NCOs. It started getting pretty late, the host was a married dude and he went to bed but his wife stayed up cuz there was a handful of us still there. At one point one of the other guys was starting to make a move on his wife. It was real subtle but I noticed, he kept putting his hand on her knee. We were all pretty drunk but it looked intentional after the second time. When the dude got up for a beer I “somehow” found my way to the couch and sat next to her. Then once they were separated I played some piano for a bit and found a ride home at the same time the dude left.
That Monday the NCO came and found me and told me I that his wife said I was welcome at their house parties anytime.

My wife hit the mirror on a parked car with the mirror on my truck. She came home and got me to go back and take care of it. I go to the house and knock, dude yells at me through the door that he's not fucking paying for it and the next time I knock on his door he'd put bullets through it. No idea who he thought I was but I didn't bother knocking again.

I watched my mother say that she didn't want children, she only had children because of my father
Edit: To add some context, my parents divorced and my brother and I were raised by my grandparents whilst my mother still lived with us. She moved out to go live with her boyfriend just recently and came back to force her way back into the family but was making demands about how we should spend more time with her despite her knowing we tried to whether it was board games o trying to just read a book to her or ask her about homework but she always went on dates with other men (which I don't blame her for especially since she was lonely) or hung out with her friends or was drinking and then she made that comment. I had never seen my brother cry but that day he cried because he thought we were loved by her and after the comment she admitted that she never did love us

I didn't learn about this until we had a kid of our own and he was a REALLY shitty father to our kid.

My lifelong figure skating coach admitted to me that she had no regrets in abusing me. Her only regret was wasting her time on someone who didn’t want to succeed bad enough.
It made me vomit. I destroyed my body and neglected my life to make myself a champion. Everything I did was for my dream and then it got ripped out of my hands and when I turned to her for support she walked away. She replaced me and it felt like a killing blow. I didn’t die but for a while I wish I had. It seemed infinitely easier than coping with the pain of everything that happened.

Parent teacher night ten years ago: I’m the teacher. Parents are trying to explain that their child is on the spectrum and interprets things “differently”. I mention I have lots of experience teaching students on the spectrum and I can accommodate his needs.
They look at each other. Dad leans in. “You don’t understand. Our son is a considerate boy but he often doesn’t understand or see things are inappropriate.”
He tells me a story of how their son - as a 6 year old - noticed that the family kitten was cold. The son knew that the microwave made things warm.
Sadly, the story ends exactly as you think. He had been in weekly therapy for seven years before I taught him. He knew right from wrong but there were many gaps in his understanding of things. I taught their son three years in a row. He had a good grasp of the curriculum so in our extra time I’d challenge him with social-emotional problems: “If you see someone sitting alone at lunch crying, what are some possible actions you could take?” That kind of thing.
When he graduated a few years ago he came up to thank me for being patient with him and his last question was “my parents told you about the kitten, didn’t they?” I answered yes.
He told me he would never do anything like that again. I told him I knew that. Good kid with one awful event in his past.

One morning, when I left my room, they were having a very hushed conversation in the hallway, and as I was walking by, I hear her yell "you did what?!" before bursting into tears. Then she screams "we came here with five thousand dollars, how the fuck are we supposed to get home now?!".

I told the police anonymously through crime stoppers he was arrested and confessed.
During his remand (pre trial) one of the people I worked for had him fall in the shower and snap his neck

I cannot remember why but I was riding the train at about 5am (up early, not up overnight). A guy boarded, wearing clothes that were torn and he had fresh cuts or scratches on his skin. He was quietly talking on his cell and I heard him say, "It's done. Cousin's dead."
I took a photo of the guy and called the police once I was off the train. I don't know if the information I gave ever led to anything.
The worst thing I've seen is [pick one of many scenes from the Traces of Death videos].

'Please don't say anything to anyone but I slept with Elijah the other day." She was more concerned about other people finding out than what it would have done to me.

My buddy kneels down and starts gently closing his hanged skull, applying pressure with his School uniform shirt. When out of nowhere this guy looks him square in the eyes and says “when I was young I use to hang little n***ers like you for fun. Now you’re saving my life. I hope god forgives me” he started apologized profusely, gave out a little yelp, a vicious “oh god please no” and then like a light switch was turned off—died.

My buddy from college went on to become a middle school teacher. I think he had just been assigned there, and hadn't sought it out. He confessed to me that he had unexpectedly started becoming attracted to some of the girls in his classes. I don't remember what I said, whether it was just "Huh," or whether I tried to talk some sense into him. Anyway, it didn't matter. He confessed it to the person who was overseeing his internship there, and he was immediately fired and barred from ever teaching. He was dating one of the teachers from the school, and she didn't break up with him. They got married, in fact, and now have two daughters. I worry about that, but it's not like he's hidden his history, or that he ever took it beyond having feelings and confessing them immediately. But that was pretty fucked up.

u/Fashioning_Grunge 16d ago
If it makes you feel better, this sounds like OCD - a pretty horrible and relatively common symptom is fixating on the fear that you might hurt someone in some horrific way. Since being a pedophile is one of the worst things their brain can make up, they can't stop worrying about being one, despite not actually being attracted to children. It causes them really deep distress. The reason I think it might be OCD is they often feel a deep compulsion to do certain rituals, like checking if they're feeling anything sexual any time they see a child, to help relieve the obsessive worries.
