Weird Feelings That Turned Out to Be True

[@DarkWarchieff]

''gut feeling'' is your subconscious picking up something your conscious doesn't. Dogs are especially good at this. If your dog hates someone, kick them to the curb!

My partner actually confessed to me a while ago that when we started dating, he was pretty sure about us making a good couple (as it should be). However, his family's dog not liking me would have been a deal breaker. Not his mom, or dad, or siblings, only the dog. Fortunately, the dog loved me (and I him).

Yeah that’s a good rule for some dogs but sometimes dogs don’t like certain people for other reasons. Some dogs have had past abuse and hate people who fit their previous owners description. Some dogs are just scared and don’t socialize with people a lot. Sometimes they’re just in a bad mood. Just wanted to clarify that you shouldn’t just straight up not associate with someone because a dog doesn’t like them because dogs are just as diverse as people and aren’t some lie detecting machines. My own dog has been in a grumpy mood before and growled at people he loves just because he was tired, hungry, etc.

Maybe he thought, “Since there are multiple people using the printers, no one will be able to tell who printed it!” The thing is teachers have to sign in to print off stuff, make copies, etc., so it’s easy to see who was logged in at what time and place, and he’s still an idiot. Source: My parents and my aunt were all teachers. My Dad retired when I was very young, but my mom and my aunt used to talk about having to sign in to print/copy anything from the communal printer and copier because the school didn’t want teachers to exploit school resources (Otherwise a teacher could use up all the ink printing off flyers for their garage sale or whatever). This was in the 1990s, but I’d say the sign-in system is still used in schools.

My Step-mom’s Step-dad, let’s call him Jimbo, always weirded me out. He seemed like a fairly normal dude but something always made me not trust him. He always was eye balling my little (half) sister and I never felt comfortable with it. Tried talking to my dad about it but he said I was just trying to start something and to drop it. Fast forward a year later and my dad called me to tell me that Jimbo was just arrested for Child pornography and admitted to molesting my sister, who was three at the time and one of her cousins (4 yrs old). I hate that I wasn’t there to protect her, but I also feel like I tried and no one supported me. I wish I’d have taken more action when I had the chance.

Girl I went out with about 10 years ago. She made a comment in passing about hanging out with her other guy friends. Something about the way she said it gave me the impression she was dating multiple guys, but I had known her for a few months at that point and didn't believe she was dating anyone else, so I decided to ignore it. Sadly (or in hindsight thankfully) the relationship didn't really go anywhere after that. Flash forward about a year, and I hadn't seen or talked to her in nearly 6 months. Then one day she shows up at the store I'm working at, and I see and hear her talking to one of my coworkers. They clearly know each other, and are somewhat flirty, but it's clear he's not interested. After she leaves, I go up to him and ask him "Hey, was that ____?" He replied "Yeah." I say: "I know it's none of my business, but did you two used to date?" I'll never forget his response. He stopped what he was doing, turned and stared at me for a few seconds, then said: "Oh god, not you too." Turns out my intuition was right, and she _was_ dating multiple guys at the same time. When I had asked her out, she was already dating my coworker, as well as a few other guys.

I too am the vibe checker. I haven't been through too many real life horrors, but I know of so many others who have, and I've had this intuition about people since I was a child. Everyone "feels" different. Most people just feel neutral. Some people feel gritty, some greasy, some soggy, come clean, some bright, some dirty, and some are just pure spine-tingling, neck prickling, GTFO. The latter really doesn't like people like you or me telling others to stay away from them, because that means they can't partake in their evil natures with their prey, or supply. Or at least it's going to be more difficult for them. Evil people also have a sixth sense on who is telling others about them, and telling other to stay away, so I've had a few run-ins with these evil people. Some vibe checkers have died in their rages, because the evil person was deprived or their opportunity. And in their mind, no one has a right to do that to them, even if you are trying to protect your family. They don't care. They don't see people as people, just supply.

Anyways, the one giving the sermon was the youth pastor who was one of the two candidates for the pastor position for the church. This sermon was... extra. He was extra emotional and extra "loving" of God and Jesus... and I could read through all the bullshit. This was 1000% meant to tug on the heart strings of the members. The harder he went, the higher my bullshit detector was going off. I could tell afterwards people were really taken aback by it, but my bullshit detector was not gonna stop until I left. Anyways, he ended up taking the position and turned this not very political or really telling people how to live their lives, to a complete sexist, political, no joy whatsoever church. Just about everyone not directly related to the pastor stopped going. He stopped the band, he told a girl who used the church to help her overcome her sexual assault to not talk about the assault, and he told my girlfriend who had gone for 20 years that she wasn't a member until she read and signed stuff.

@@scooberdoober1969 Most false rape accusation tend to be resolved outside of court because they are either blatantly obvious or they accused has tons of evidence to refute it, the police even encourage to keep this away from court. That's why there are not many real statistics about it, but most guys know someone that has been accused or sometimes they have been accused themselves. False accusations are not rare at all, what is rare is an open accusation to the legal system as the false accusers tend to try and keep it within the social sphere of influence of both her and her victim to maximize the damage, the moment it gets so big that the police gets involved it all falls apart but the accused has already lost their jobs, friends, opportunities, etc. Rape stems from poor education, mental instability and poor response from security forces. In one of these videos there was this guy who in excruciating detail described how he wanted to rape but didn't just because he was afraid of the police, that he thought they were competent enough to find him swiftly. There are evil people everywhere, most have enough self control to behave in a civilized manner, others need to know they won't get away with it to stop them from committing a crime, a select few just don't care. This guy cared, and he was very very clear that if the opportunity suddenly came to him on its own he would take it. That's why they tell you those things like "don't leave your drink uncovered" or "don't walk around this area at night" etc. If you blow air into your neck with a stack of $100 bills while carrying jewelry and walking down the bad part of town, you are just giving those evil people the opportunity they wish for.

Which is due to how horrendously rape cases are handled by the justice system (go back to victim blaming and all the examples i listed of men who raped and were let off with little to no time; just look at Bill Cosby since everyone's talking about that rn and he's literally a serial rapist) And if the false accusations aren't reported to the police, then it would still suck but not leave a lasting impact on the accused's life. It wouldn't show up on their record or anything. anyways, here's a really good pdf with statistics and shit from the national sexual violence resource center: www.nsvrc.org/sites/default/files/Publications_NSVRC_Overview_False-Reporting.pdf

[@griffta03]

When I was in boot camp(USN), there was a socially awkward guy from Texas (I’m from TX too). We’ll call him “Jack.” My friends and I befriended Jack in the hopes of helping him becoming more sociable and way less awkward. After we got out of boot camp we all ended up at the same base for our next phase of training specific to our career paths, my friends and I invited Jack out with us and even bought him some more updated/fashionable clothes. No matter how much progress he made in terms of social interactions, there was always an X factor we couldn’t nail down. We all ended up going our separate ways in our military careers and we lost touch with Jack. I eventually ended up becoming a police officer 18yrs after I left the Navy in a city that most in the US would consider the middle of nowhere (near San Antonio, TX). During my initial training with that agency, I got dispatched to a disturbance call and I immediately recognized the primary actor as Jack but he doesn’t recognize me. I get his name/dob and confirm that he’s the same dude I went to boot camp with. He’s very obviously a meth addict now too. As soon as I ran his information on my in-car terminal, I get audible alerts that he is a registered sex offender. Well, I hate rapists and pedo’s, so I decide to f**k with him. I start telling him details about his past (specific to our shared experiences in the military). The guy starts getting super paranoid, begins freaking out, and literally accuses me of being some sort of wizard. Before he had an aneurysm, I tell him I went to boot camp with him (didn’t give him my name though). Then, I told him I guess he was so awkward back then because the kidf**ker in him was just waiting to get out. I told him to STFU, go inside, and leave his neighbors alone; or, I’d be arresting him for every minor offense just for him continuing to exist. I went back to the office and looked up his case. The POS diddled two girls, 7 and 9 years old. Like other peace officers, I don’t fantasize about taking life but I can unquestionably affirm that I would not get any PTSD about ending “Jack.” Thankfully, we locked him back up for quite a while for violating his sex offender registry terms and a few other felony offenses, including assaulting public servants. Oh yeah, he was also a sovcit and, like most sovcits, repeatedly demonstrated that he knew precisely d*ck about his rights, the law, and the code of criminal procedure. I hope he gets the same class of abuse in prison that he forced on those little girls.

Women who lie about being raped should go to jail for however much time the rapist would have gotten.

[@bluegirl278]

@anonymizzle it is illegal to make a false report. Idk what the punishment is but you can get charged and punished for it. Also, many rapists don’t get very long sentences even if it was the worst moment of a persons life and traumatized them forever or got a girl pregnant, they usually get away with only like 3 years in jail (not saying that getting falsely convicted isn’t that bad, it is terrible and causes so many issues down the line even though a man is more likely to get raped by someone than to be falsely accused). Where I live there is actually no minimum sentence for rapist but we have a maximum for some damn reason. No more than ten years. That’s some bull when rape can cause so much damage.

[@anonymizzle]

@@bluegirl278 white women do this all the time I don’t see anything happening to them.

[@bluegirl278]

@@anonymizzle If the false allegation is reported and taken to court, they can be charged. Like any other crime, it has to be reported and they have to be tried. Also, a man is more likely to be raped than he is to be false accused. False accusations are terrible but in Canada only 2% of rape cases are proven to be false, in the USA it is 8% if I am remembering correctly, and it is about 6% in the UK. Over 50% of rape and assault goes unreported. False allegation are terrible and anyone who falsely accuses should be punished to the full extent of the law, but rape is far more prevalent than false reports. Anyone can say someone raped them but very few false accusations go to court and even fewer get a person convicted as it’s insanely hard to get actual rapist in jail, let alone innocent people. Even when they are re put in jail, there sentences are usually very short and they then go on to reoffend.

I had a gut feeling that Robin Williams wasn't going to have a natural death. I was watching the show 60 Minutes sometime during the mid or late 1990's where he was giving an interview. The interviewer's final question [as best as I can recall these details] was "Some people say you're the funniest person alive; what do you have to say about that?". And he goes from super upbeat to a more reserved tone as he replied something along the lines of "you show me the happiest person in the world, and I'll show you someone with real problems" and he smile fell just a little. I knew right then that he wasn't going to die peacefully in his sleep; I didn't think he would die the way he did, I thought it would be something rare or a freak accident, like a bungee cord snapping or a roller-coaster related accident.

He was a nice guy at first, so kind of the 'leader' of that since all of us don't like leading. It made many stop coming because of him and when they do check into the group, we all just quit discord if we see him online. Cut to few months later, a lot of people quit the group and made a new one without him in it because it turns out he was having a relationship with an underaged girl, and cheating on her with another underaged girl. There were already some flags when he says "Love knows no age" bs

Both were mods, underage kid admitted it publicly and figured he'd lose his permissions (he did) but other guy was like "not sure why it matters i thought you were a good mod". Underage kid was constantly flirty, meaning if anyone reciprocated they'd be in trouble, not to mention just having a mod lying about something like that in the first place, but "good mod"? Kid never did anything mod-like, and abused his powers once. Come to find out the guy who saw no issue with it was getting in the DMs of a minor in the server, but thankfully she put a stop to it and let us know.

I've had one of these too: My mother's childhood friend is known to have a new boyfriend every once in a while but they would break up either because they guy doesn't meet her standards or because they do her dirty (she's very naive). I usually never had a bad gut feeling about them because I was only a little infant when I saw most of them. But then she introduced us to her new boyfriend, let's call him Max. The friend kept telling us about how Max apparently is a wealthy loving man with fairly good looks and had already traveled to several countries etc., he was basically 'perfect'. I kid you not the second this man stepped into my room, I had a horrible gut feeling about him and I immediately wanted him out of my room. He kept acting kind and smiling but I knew his smile was just show, I knew it from the start. Everyone of my family loved him, except my grandma and I, we both had the same gut feeling. Later it turns out this guy was a sociopath who had mentally abused my mother's friend and almost got physically abusive, he never helped her with anything even when she was pregnant and obviously couldn't do certain things such as building the furniture at their new apartment, she always had to do the dirty work. He also made her move far away from her parents and sister, and manipulated into her thinking that her family hates her, and that they don't need her. He also had a wife and two kids before her and guess who divorced who first? The ex-wife; and even the children don't want to have any contact with him anymore. It also turned out that he wasn't wealthy at all and was around 80.000 € in debt to his boss, who fired him months later because he never paid it back. Unfortunately this guy still has custody of their child but she finally kinda got away from him.

I hated it so much, and would *not* allow them to be in a room alone with them (if I could help it). Turns out they tried to groom most of them, and almost exposed themselves in front of the youngest (youngest just turned 13- they were almost 21) but she screamed before anything could happen and a teacher ran in.

However I'm an asshole because I did ask questions which ended up proving she is lying. They say they are taking it seriously but I don't see them suggesting she get therapy over the "incident" or even just reading the literal medical facts and laws that disprove her claim. Yes. Not questioning her or encouraging her to get help is definitely taking it seriously. A bunch of assholes they are.

I had a feeling someone at work was stealing diesel by the hundreds of gallons. I set up a makeshift camera to record the fuel dump tanks. Sure enough, the guy I suspected was stealing diesel. His pickup truck bed was always covered with a hard cover. He would come into work with the truck sitting level. When he would leave, it was pushed down on the rear axle a bit. Fuel expense numbers were always off and the company was paying a lot in fuel. After setting up the camera, I left it there one week. The guy, in question, would drive up, open the tail gate, attach the fill hose to a valve on a tank on the back of his pickup truck and full up a huge tank he had on the cargo bed of the pickup truck, hidden under the hard cover. I have no idea where he put that much fuel. He did this three times a week. I gave the camera and recording to the day shift manager and the diesel thief was removed from the property by the police and his pickup truck was impounded the following day. I do not know what happened to the diesel thief. But given he was removed in had cuffs and his pickup truck was impounded, it is likely he is doing prision time today. This was all because the guy did not buy leveling springs for his weak pickup truck to keep it level with a load of diesel. If he had a better suspension, the pickup truck would have never been sunk down on the back axle.

I have one that is pretty similar to some mentioned in this video. When I was a kid, I had this uncanny, almost supernatural ability to just know if a person was "good" or "bad". Even complete strangers, just one glance and little kid me knew if I could trust that person or not. The best example of this was when I was probably five years old, my family and I lived in a complex of townhouses. The complex hired independent lawn care companies to service the yards of the houses. One day I was playing in the front room when a new, clean and good looking young man showed up in front of our house to mow our lawn and trim etc. He looked respectable, early 20's at the most, clean cut, fresh shaved, wasn't dressed sloppy, overall looked very professional and just seemed to be a very upstanding young man. I had never seen him before and had no interactions with him, but the first time I saw him outside our window, I became terrified and ran to the back of the house to hide, crying uncontrollably. My mom and sisters tried to calm me down and assure me everything was fine, that he wasn't dangerous and he was just here to mow the lawn. The noise of his machines didn't bother me, I was used to it, and I didn't have a habit of being scared of random strangers, unless I sensed something about them, there was just something about this young man that struck absolute horror in me for no reason I could explain. When he finished with the front yard, he appeared in the back yard, right outside the sliding glass door I was hiding near. As soon as I saw him again, I began crying harder and bolted to the front of the house, still completely terrified of him. My family had no idea what to do with me and it wasn't until several minutes after the young man had left that I finally began to calm down and relax. A few days later, mom came to me, sat me down and asked I remembered the young man who cut our grass that I was scared of. I became nervous at just the mention of him and nodded my head. My mom then explained to me that I was right, the man had been fired from his job and arrested, but she refused to tell me why. To this day, about 30 years later, I still have no idea what he did, all I know is that it was bad. Really bad, as my family never told me.

The OP with the group of friends who defended the abuser should realize she was better off out of that group.

Lol, I had a cat who always attacked people who she felt was bad. My family and I all joked and stayed that Grace (Our cat) could see evil in the people she didn't like. But one of these people she attacked happened to be my sister. My sister at first seemed to be a kind person. I never got to hang out with her since she lived with her dad. But when she came to live with us, Grace IMMEDIATELY didn't like her and began to hiss and attack her. Soon, I began to notice all the lies she told my mom and dad to get them to fight each other and noticed how she'd sneak out to "Hang out" with guys. She also snuck off to get some weed and convinced me to take some. (In my opinion weed isn't a terrible drug. But she kept forcing it on me and I kept saying no.) So, turns out, she wasn't a sweet innocent girl, and it took me awhile to tell my mom the truth about her. But the thing I found crazy about this was Grace's reaction. She was the first one that warned us about her 🤣

I’m the type of person who gets a gut feeling about a person the first time I meet them but ignoring it, for better or for worse. It’s usually just if I’m going to like the person or not. The bad feelings have always been someone who always ended up either abandoning me or stabbing me in the back. You’d think by now I would’ve learned my lesson but no.

@@ThePooper3000 if they write dark thoughts down and don't act on those thoughts then they are just human, they ain't bad for writing however actually acting on those thoughts that is what makes them a horrible person and deserves to be punished but just writing them down, I've read that writing down can get things off your chest and makes you less likely to act on anything, because it gives you time to read and take in exactly what you have written, and then most people are likely to realise the severity of their thoughts and never act on them, I have never personally had thoughts of hurting other people, I have had thoughts of hurting myself, I lost my best friend when I was 12 and I just became so numb that if I hurt myself I could feel, I'm ashamed to say that I caused myself a few broken bones well from memory about 15 fractures was done deliberately, now journalling is a healthy outlet for me, it helps me realise that hurting myself is not the option, you realise that journalling is a healthy outlet for dark thoughts whether to hurt someone else, another crime or hurting yourself

i was close with some guy around september-december time and he had a huge liking for this one girl. i verbally told him i dont trust her and i felt like she was gonna do something to him. valentines day in february the guy and her had something going on with each other and were basically “together”. at the time me and him weren’t talking, we had an on and off talking kind of friendship. but a week after valentines she went off with another guy and kissed him and such. a few weeks later i had texted the guy and he told me the story. in the present. the girl had “apologized” to him and he took it really fast and gained feelings for him. i’m kind of the type of person who’s impulsive and i was really in love with him since after the situation we were like two peas in a pod, pretty close. but when he told me, i lost it and blocked him on everything. recently got in contact with him but i dont trust him at all. when i have gut feelings about someone, it’s usually true.

Here are mine... each have to do with an ex of my brother's. 1) "A" is one of my brother's MANY exes. The day I met her, I hated her. We hadn't heard of her at all before, EVER, and when I told my grandmother and my mom? "You're just being overprotective", "Well, if he likes her than that's what matters", was the responses. I did everything I could to avoid her when she was around, and quickly found out that they broke up because she lied to him and lowkey cheated. 2) "B" is the latest ex, but still from a year ago by now. She became very invasive, manipulative, and toxic. She looked through my brother's phone without permission, broke my mom's trust, and manipulated me. Now, I got this feeling when another girl came around (his current gf), I thought it was because of her, but after so much shit went down and we all cut off B, I realized my gut feeling wasn't about his current gf, it was about B and that something bad was about to happen. The first time, I was 100% correct, I knew something wasn't right about that girl. The second time, I had the feeling, but I didn't guess correctly, and was wrong. Thankfully, I haven't had any of these moments recently.

I live off of my gut intuition. it saved my life from my ex best friend. crazy creepy boyfriends for 3 years. I also had a feeling that my ex best friend was off but i knew she was autistic so I didn't think much of it. we were friends for about 3 years until some of our newer friends started to tell me she was saying very sexual things to them and making them extremely uncomfortable. one of my friends told me very specifically that exbest friend told her " you look like a kawaii little hentai character that needs to be pegged". And let me tell you. I am a very loyal friend and I had no issues protecting her from her crazy exboyfriends bc she had bad taste in men. but when she started to do shit like that to anyone especially out mutual friends (about 9 people she verbally or physically violated) I took it for the team and yeeted her out of our friendgroup. and since I'm a year older than my friends who are still in highschool but I'm college, they told me something was going on with her so I did some digging. turns out she was saying a 13 y.o when she's 17 turning 18 this year. idk about other people but that's borderline pedophilic in my books. I eventually made her break up with him and the poor kid told me that she had made him feel uncomfy and that she requires alot of unnecessary attention. Back to today, I l only spoken to her once bc she tried guilt tripping me with all "the good days" and "how we used to have so much fun together" but I refuse to go back into that relationship. she barely can do her own laundry🙄. I've made sure all the people she violated somehow got their chance to express their feelings towards her and that if they needed therapy I know some resources. I told them if she does anything to you at school, we have the ability to get a restraining order bc of the physical part of exbestfriends "attack". so yeah. shit went down.

[@felicitybywater8012]

Quite apart from the other issues w her, if she wants to peg someone, there are sites etc where she can find all the peggees a pegged could ever peg. She needs to go the frack there and not make creepy remarks to people who are not interested.

I was in band in middle school. We got a new teacher very early into Seventh grade. He looked weird, his eyes felt wrong. No-one liked him either. His presence was genuinely uncomfortable. Before he even spoke, my friend and I were like "this man is a pedophile". For a few months, each class in each grade dealt with those off feelings. He called kids "sweetie", "babe", and "baby" too, which did nothing to help our collective paranoia. Around 3 or 4 months into the school year, he was arrested on statutory rape charges from a previous school he had taught at. No student at my school was hurt by him, and we actually all kind of found it funny. Because we knew it. It was so painfully obvious he was a pedophile from the moment he started out. No-one knew why it was, but it was. None of the teachers suspected it, which further increased the hilarity of the situation. A gaggle of pre-teens and teens reading a man like a book. I'm honestly glad he was arrested. Our next teacher was a lot nicer, if strict.

When I was like 15, I knew an old man who hung out with a group of teenagers & young adults who shared an apartment. I only knew him because one of my brothers was part of that group. He seemed totally normal for the most part but I started to think he was a compulsive liar because he had too many interesting stories even though they were individually totally believable stories. The incident that put the idea in my head was when he showed us a bunch old valuable coins he had & I realized he'd given us no reason to believe they were so rare & valuable & I started wondering why an old man would go so far as to bring a tub of "rare valuable" coins to an apartment full of teenagers to impress them. For some reason, that suspicion was all it took to make me think maybe he was trying to impress teenagers so they'd respect him so he could get them into private & molest them. I always avoided associating with him after that. If we were in the same place, I wouldn't acknowledge him because I didn't want him to try to manipulate me. I think initially, the group just naturally met him & hung out so it didn't seem so weird but eventually, some of the others started getting weird vibes about him too because he was an old man, repeatedly choosing to hang out with teenagers so he wasn't allowed over there anymore. A few months later, we heard that he'd molested a teenage boy. His name was Kevin just like that one molester mentioned in the video so that weirded me out a little.

I had a friend once who I was visiting in Texas for spring break get in trouble cause a girl at his college said that he forced himself onto her over that same spring break, it's about a week difference in time at this point mind you. I only know this stuff cause I had to be called as a witness to the situation and get my side of the story for what happened. According to the girl the guy over spring break had met her at a party, gotten drunk, attacked her, leaving marksm bruises, and then forcing himself onto her. My friend, a very attractive man, was with me, I am a guy, and the other guys in the group a couple of cities over at the time she said this happened. Upon asking us we provided some evidence. Including photos, messages, post on my friends FB, and the best piece of evidence, the fact that we all spent a week at a small hotel, just 2 rooms, me and 2 other friends slept in one, and we gave the second room to my friend who was accused... And his boyfriend. Yeah my friend was gay, openly, and didn't even drink. Sometimes he's smock some pot but no drinking. There was a mountain of evidence against her including that the cops asked her about several things, like the party she was at which never happened, and the fact the bruses she had were shockingly small, Even a hand mark like someone gripped her really hard to cause a bruse she took a photo of. Turns out she had had a crush on my friend and he kept rejecting her, he's a polite guy so I can't imagine him being mean and letting her down gently but I'll be honest I wasn't there for any of that when it happened so that's just a guess as to how he handled her advances. So she got with friends, messages each other online, also found out was evidence too, about how he never tried to date her so she'll get him kicked out of the college instead and a ton of that extreme feminist stuff you hear too. (I say extreme cause it was very kill all men style talking it seems) Sadly, my friend didn't get charged but did get kicked out of college. She got charged for making a fales claim but did finish college. Seems however many friends had a gut feeling about this girl, but IDK if anything could have been done. And worst of all she ruined his future dream job, and she got away with pretty much everything other than paying a nasty sounding bill for her trouble she caused.

Gut instincts are always best to be listened to, not ignored. Those instincts might just save your life. This one's my mom's story, but she has told me it many times. I was a baby at the time in a stroller. My mom, older sister, and I were at a gas station (though I wouldn't remember that) where my mom saw two men that literally screamed pure evil and they zeroed in on my older sister who was 8 at the time. My mom latched onto my sister's arm and had a death grip. (No she was not hurting my sister, just not letting go of her for fear those two would snatch my sister) At first, both men barely acknowledged anyone else, but when they noticed my mom had an iron grip and would go full momma bear on them they backed off. They probably also didn't want to cause a scene in the middle of the gas station. When it was clear they would not get my sister they left and waited in the parking lot, but my mom refused to leave till they drove away. No way was she taking a risk of them ambushing her with my older sister and me so close. Eventually, they gave up and drove off Later my mom saw that the one man was on the news Frank Atwood was convicted for killing Viki Lynne, my mom tried to phone the cops and tell them he had a friend and they needed to look for an accomplice, but she was told by police: 'They didn't care what happened before the crime, only after' I while no more than a baby told my mom she should have asked to speak to someone with actual intelligence because the cops were basically saying to her that they didn't care that another killer was out there. Sadly each year my mom is reminded on my sister's birthday that Viki Lynne would be the same age had she lived, and it could have easily been my sister had my mom ignored that gut instinct. Never ignore the gut instinct!

So, my mom dated this dude, Eddy, I fucking hated him, not sure why. When I first met him I had a breakdown and couldn't breathe, I was maybe 5 at the time. Maybe two months later they broke up. We went over to his apartment for my mom to get her stuff, he tried to help, and she freaked out, told him to back up, and he didn't. Eventually, they got into a tussle. It wasn't too bad just swatting him away and stuff for a while, but eventually, she knocked this necklace he wore off of him, and he flipped out. I started crying, and just stood outside the apartment as this massive dude was choking my mom. Eventually, the neighbor came out and called the cops, my mom had to stay in jail for a few days. When she came back she told us (Me, my dad, and my brother) that he had been hitting, and raping her all this time.
