Timmy and Tommy finished their first day of work. I couldn't be prouder of all the work they've put in, yes yes.

7:
I have this... acquaintance from an earlier time in my life. I am not looking forward to dealing with them, but their presence is quickly becoming harder to ignore. Can someone help advise me in what I should do about approaching someone who has betrayed my trust? Because my initial idea was to grab an axe. I don't think that would set a good example for my boys. Thank you for your consideration, yes yes.

How wonderful! Are those your sons?

Re: 2

[nookandcranny]

Yes, yes! I adopted them some time ago and I couldn't be more happy that I did!

[tigerpoet]

They grow up so quickly, don't they?

[nookandcranny]

I used to be able to lift them, but I can't tell if they've gotten too big or if I need a few less sweets, ohoho~.

Are you a parent?

[tigerpoet]

I am. Takeshi and Noboru are their names - though they're a fair bit older than your boys.

[nookandcranny]

Ah! Congratulations to you! Parenthood is very rewarding, yes yes!

[tigerpoet]

Indeed it is. I miss them a great deal - a long story - but I'd never regret the time we had together.

[nookandcranny]

Ah, I am sorry if I touched upon a sore subject. I did not mean to dredge up any old wounds.

[tigerpoet]

Oh, please don't worry - they're very much alive and fine. I just can't see them for reasons?

I have complete and legitimate counter-question:

Do you want to just be a jilted ex and be spiteful, or do you want to turn that spite into productiveness. Because I spent a lot of time doing the first and I can say it's cathartic but it's highly unproductive for about five or six years after the act's gone thin.

I would go with trying to tell them straight how you feel, and then smack them one, and then mending from there. That's what I did with Tsukasa.

Re: 7

[nookandcranny]

I suppose we've been doing this for quite some time... If I want all this to stop, I'll have to say something.

It is... not an easy thing to broach how I feel about them. They put me in a very low place. They betrayed my trust and they betrayed what we had. But, we still had something... and their actions led to me discovering many, many good things in my life. Do you have any other advice about what I should say? I'm afraid my own feelings seem rather complex when I look at the whole picture, yes yes.

Re: 7

[of_many_treasures]

Oh buddy. Oh I know this feeling. Tsukasa did this to me too. I hated him for MONTHS, no, years actually after he pulled shenanigans on me.

I would say, first, write a letter. Write what you want to say in several drafts. Do it over and over until you feel ready to say what you want to feel. Bring it with you. Rehearse what you want to say. Don't be me and actually hit him unless he apologizes and lets you do it.

Unless that's how you two like it, and actually flirt while in combat.

Re: 7

[nookandcranny]

I don't think we'll be to blows, if I can help it. And while I'm sure they... like pain to a degree, I'm not sure that's how I want things to go.

But, yes yes, a letter would help gather my thoughts. It's like preparing for a business meeting, but, a little more personal, I suppose.

Is... everything okay for you and Tsukasa?

Re: 7

[of_many_treasures]

We've made up, fortunately. At least we don't argue as much as we did, but at least we've patched things up so that we're not literally coming to blows anymore.

Strange though that I would be still arguing with him years later after the Reiwa Era started. Takes an entire shift in the years for us to make up. It's been, god, nearly 10 years since our breakup.

Re: 7

[nookandcranny]

Mmm... time heals many wounds. Time gives perspective. I myself have been separated from them for quite a time. Every now and then, I wonder if they regret what they did to me. I wonder if they're capable of change... I just have so much that I care for that I worry that trusting them will just lead to the same place.

[ordinarythings]

What kind of betrayal was it? And do you think it's likely to happen again?

Re: 7

[nookandcranny]

They stole a great deal of money from me and disappeared with it. We were... also somewhat involved beyond just a business partnership.

They've always been someone who was dishonest. I don't know if I could ever trust them to not do something like this again.

[ordinarythings]

[That's rough, buddy.]

How necessary is it for you or your sons to interact with them now? My suggestion would be to avoid them and make it clear they're not welcome in your home, and also inform your sons of whatever this former partner did in age-appropriate terms.

As well as warn anyone else you think they might try to fool, I suppose.

[atleastimnotzeus_boy]

Ah, what fine and diligent children you have, Tom! I wouldn't know what that's like.

What was the task set before them?
