My Son's Homeroom Teacher Committed Voyeurism?! Part 6: My Advice on How to Fight Back After Being Completely Shunned!
My son's homeroom teacher committed voyeurism → We discussed at a PTA meeting whether or not to tell the children about it → No conclusion was reached, so at a school-wide assembly, I voiced my opinion to the PTA president, which angered him, and I ended up being completely shunned by his wife and her circle of followers ( ; ; )Today, I would like to write about how I fought back to break through that situation📝

Having incurred the wrath of the PTA president, I was looked at with cold eyes by his wife and her followers, and was completely shunned.
On top of that, my son was in the same class as the PTA president's daughter.
Yikes!
Talk about adding insult to injury (ToT)/~~~
So, I became very worried about whether this would affect the children's world.
Well, since they were a girl and a boy, I thought it might not get too awkward, but I didn't tell my son about the trouble in the parents' world.
I thought it would be better if he didn't know anything so he could interact with the president's daughter naturally.
Every day, I would casually ask how things were at school, and I was relieved to find that the children's world seemed to be fine for the time being.
But I couldn't just leave things as they were.
It was hard for me to go to school, and since there was the voyeurism incident during this period, I had many opportunities to go to school, and I felt that having an awkward experience every time I went was not good for my mental health.
So, I decided on my own way of fighting and headed to school...
I still remember that time well; before getting on my bicycle, I slapped my cheeks to psych myself up
“It’s okay! It will definitely go well.”
I told myself.
That’s how much of a timid and immature person I was back then.
When I arrived at the school, I walked up to the PTA president's wife, who was standing in the hallway in front of the classroom.
And I said,
“I am truly sorry for upsetting the PTA president the other day. I didn't mean to, but I feel terrible that I seem to have incurred his anger.”
Then the wifelooked like a deer caught in headlightsfor a moment, but she snapped back to reality and
“Huh? What? I don't know what you're talking about,” she replied in a sharp tone.
She must not have expected me to apologize to her face.
She was clearly flustered and did not soften her attitude, but
When I said, "Even so, it is a fact that I made you feel uncomfortable, so please apologize to your husband for me as well. Please."
The wife made a 'hmpf' face and didn't answer, but she didn't seem to feel bad about it.
This time, what I used was
Winning by losing!!!
tactics ヽ(´▽｀)/
Yes,there are many ways to fight.
I think it's definitely more advantageous to have various weapons, not just swinging a sword, and it increases your win rate.
What was effective at this time was not a sword, but the weapon of 'apologizing'.
I have used this tactic before.
Of course, there are times when I swing a sword, and in those situations, I go wilder than anyone else, haha.
I feel that thisproper use of different approaches is important.
"I can't apologize"
There are many people around me who say that, but if me apologizing is
the most effective way to improve the situation,I am willing to bow my head as many times as it takes, and at that time
I bow my head with my own pride.
And, since there are many times when I apologize even though I don't want to, sometimes in my heart I am
"Nyah nyah!"😜
doing that too, haha.
This is fine! Heh.
As for what kind of conclusion the battle using this tactic reached...
A few days later, when my ex-husband went to a sauna near our house, he apparently ran into the PTA president.
At that time, I heard that the PTA president, who sat nearby in the sauna, said,
"How is your wife doing? I was in the wrong about a lot of things too."
Yes!!!!!\( ˆoˆ )/
The wife was still fuming when I apologized, but I think she thought about it carefully after she was alone later.
I was happy to think that my feelings got through to her.
The wife had clearly told her husband.
After that, the shunning I faced at school gradually faded away.
For me at the time, this whole ordeal was truly tough, but looking back now, I feel deeply moved by how much my timid nature has improved...
This series ends here.
I think it's about time I start the family issues [Court Case Edition].
