Wow...thanks for being so upfront and honest. You are fortunate that you survived and endured through such hardships...but it still doesn't make what your teacher did "right". You should know, since you witnessed how her behavior led to the end of her teaching career. If she conducted herself in such a matter today (regardless of the relationship's outcome), she would've been arrested and sent to prison.
I am not suggesting what she did was right..What I tried to say is that we are all human and even our best intentions can lead to suffering. Indeed she saved my life and look what she "sacrificed" to do so... Life is full of paradoxes and we are all prey to them...

That is exactly what I feel about Clint and the Girl.

The Legal and Ethical Boundries are clear

The Human Heart less so...

In the age of Hyper Western Culture with all it's pitfalls I can only hope my choice of Aikido to help navigate it's dangerous shoals will serve me and those I love.

It would appear at first read to me that it did not serve Clint and the girl too well and that is a tragedy...

More will be revealed.
