You didn't FU, you did a great service to the youth of your church. If a person chooses to cheat on their taxes, is it because a teacher taught them math? Or another teacher taught them to read? No! One of those kids could save a life someday, and that could be because of what you taught them.

It's amazing how we communicate sometimes.... Or don't. In the end, if you really think it would matter, say something. But it sounds like that moment passed when she tested you without your knowledge and was mad when you were honest about seeing someone else at the time. To me that sounds like you communicated properly and it wasn't what she expected to hear

My favorite quote for things like this:

It's never the wrong time for the right person

To me, it sounds like it was just the experience to show you what you wanted and set you up for the next chapter. I wish you the best of luck on your journey :)

The problem is that you got stoned, not that you used gas.

You don't have gas at home, but this shows that while stoned, your ability to notice life-of-your-family-endangering situations is impaired. So the next time, you might endanger them by something else.

Had a manager years ago at the store I worked at almost lose their leg. They got scratched by a shoplifter and ended up with some kind flesh eating bacteria infection. It's really not worth it chasing those dudes

It happens it’s natural, I live with my parent in a home we pay for together because in this economy we can afford half a million dollar home . Rather than shitty living apart. So I sound proof my living quarters have toys that don’t vibrate and when I’m entertaining I’ve just learn to be quiet and respectful. So yeah it’s ok. Embarrassing but ok and normal.

I’m far far more worried that her parents reacted to her self harming by getting so angry that she didn’t feel safe staying at home.
I mean my parents reacted badly, my mum told me I was already ugly and I shouldn’t make it worse, they ignored my debilitating depression (they still do, 20 years later, but I’m an adult, I can protect myself), but they never made me feel so fearful that I left my home, to wild camp, in the middle of winter.
Even if you aren’t a mandated reporter, I think this needs reporting to your local child protection agency
