And he would give me private coachings that other kids weren't getting.

and find me other opportunities.

And I would go on recruiting trips with him.

He would find any opportunities to compliment me.

I was doing a scene at an acting competition freshman year.

He just kept making comments about how wild I looked on stage.

It was very, very weird.

But he was like that with me a lot.

Whenever he wasn't being paternal towards me, he was really angry.

His moods very much controlled my day.

He knew how to control me.

With his frustration, he would give me the silent treatment.

And then sometimes he would be almost like love bombing.

That paternal side of him would come out.

And he did sometimes make inappropriate comments, but it was much, much less frequent with me.

But he could turn very, very quickly.

And he did.

In hindsight, do you feel like he was grooming you in some way?

Yes.

I don't know that I will say that he was sexually grooming me because nothing sexual happened to me other than he made weird comments towards a lot of his female students.
