Two major ones in the last 3 months.
An amazing, seemingly perfect new friend that lasted two intense, awesome weeks, then it was cut off. I still don’t know why or if I did anything wrong. The worst thing, for me, is to be totally cut off and not know why—it physically hurts and takes so long to go away.
And a student that I supported for 5 years suddenly going batshit. She came from a bad home and I spent a lot of time supporting her as her teacher, coach and class sponsor. She was on her way to doing good things but got into drugs. She WAS my son and his girlfriend’s friend until she went berserk (precisely because she wasn’t getting laid that night), beat my son’s girlfriend up, and when others tried to help her calm down, attacked them with a knife and scissors. Nobody was hurt, but when she got out of the mental hospital, she put all the blame on my son and his girlfriend. Mind-blowing disappointing.
