1st story had an update (This story is pretty recent):
The neighbor sent OP camera footage of the incident. Husband was walking, saw the neighbor and just left the stroller on the road, didn't even put the brakes on and just walked up the neighbors driveway to talk to the neighbor for 20 minutes. After OP ran to get the stroller, husband was just standing in shock, doing absolutely nothing. OP's kid was playing with the neighbors cat before he saw the stroller start moving.
Also, the comments were actually against OP for leaving and trying to defend the husband, which is insane.
That's likely because the majority of them are not parents, and likely won't be.
I mean, I somewhat get why.
if this is the first incident, then leaving him when he has an issue that could be fixed and make it all better isn't going to help anyone.
do I agree? no. do I get the logic? yes
@@FerventLotuswhether someone’s a parent or not doesn’t mean they lack common sense on things.
Thank you for the update
No I think they were just upset OP blamed the husbands ADHD.
Seems like OP is traumatized.
30 years later isn't a step sister, that's a stranger that knows your name
Especially when the time actually together was one, maybe two years.
Yep
The last story: OP should respond with, "I am indifferent to your apologies. I don't blame you, Emily. You were a child. Lisa refused to listen and married the person who maliciously and falsely accused me and put me on the streets. I have a family that loves me. I don't need any of you. If your stepdad is still alive, tell him what happened. Tell your mom what happened. Let them know what they did.
Do not contact me again."
This! Although I wouldn't have cared what OP chose to do, I just hope that Mark gets divorced and kicked out tho.
He updated..he did respond but he said that he had moved on with his life and to please not contact him again. He was much kinder than I would have been.
@@audreym3908 agreed. If I found out that my husband was secretly cruel and malicious, I wouldn't want to be around him or our child.
@@KittenUndercover seriously kinder. I'm petty, so there would have been all kinds of pain heaped on Mark, Lisa, and the parents if they still lived.
@@KittenUndercoveridk why Lisa even thought for a second she had any right to talk to op after marrying the scumbag that got him put on the streets… and I hope mark rots in hell.
Rslash is branching out a LOT lately. Not complaining, I'm actually glad for it
Yeah, I was getting a lil tired of the same 5 subs.
The subs piss me off to😭
I like it too! I started skipping over the malicious compliance because I just got tired of them
@@Jennifer_MB I mostly watch AITA, Prorevenge and Entitled parents, I only skip a few when they crop up. I’m just glad he’s branching out.
@@ashleightompkins3200agreed ❤
cheating for over 4 years, then trying to save your marriage. and then you can't even stick to it and start cheating again. this guy's disgusting. i hope his wife and kids get away from him and live happy lives.
Than he tries to say “nobody messes with my family” like a little too late to be the hero dude
@@nationalinstituteofcheese3012 He's trying so hard to fish for empathy and good husband, it's gross and sad. Dude had the option to work on his marriage 4 years ago and now only regrets it because his affair might get revealed. How much do people want to bet that he's one of those useless husbands that has a full time working wife but still expects her to do 90% of the child care and chores?
In most of these "My marriage is 'stale', wife isn't giving me attention or boinking as much as I want, I don't want to work on things so I'm just going to cheat" stories, in which there are too many to count, that's usually the case. The wife is literally just exhausted from carrying the whole damn family and working on the relationship would mean actually showing her respect and being partners rather than being served, so they choose get "attention" elsewhere.
Hope she dump his sorry butt in a divorce pretty soon
Yea he sounds like an idiot
You sound like somebody who goes to the weight loss subreddits and starts making fun of the people trying to lose weight! That's the entire point of that entire fucking subreddit much like Ashley Madison!
Last story: I get they wanted to protect the daughter, but instantly throwing your kid out on the street with nothing and not even doing a proper investigation was a terrible decision. 0 to 100 too far
Yeah, especially since he knew there was some level of animosity between Mark and his son, but of course, he had to side with the new wife's kid or else risk a lack of passionate hugging. I hope his marriage turned out miserable.
They already started favoring the other guy before that so they got what they deserved, the sociopath instead of the good son. I bet this is not the only terrible thing he did, to his wife too, these sorts of people do not stop.
Ah, I just left a comment just like this. I get that tempers are high, but when you can ruin an innocent person's life or potentially kill them through neglect, you need to atleast look at all the facts, and the "proof" here that OP was in the wrong was insanely flimsy since anyone could have put them there, and they did.
This story had me seething. The fact that the father could just do that to his own son. I get protecting your stepdaughter but it's his word against your son. There's no proof.. Throwing the kid out was so stupid. I hope he doesn't reply. They should live with themselves knowing what they've done to an innocent human being.
Hindsight is 20/20. I'll bet you anything that if the allegations turned out to be true, reddit and CZcams commenters would be BLASTING any parents who dismissed that level of "evidence". We’re only speaking with confidence because we know for a fact that the daughter was never in danger.
Story 3: Mark is a sociopath. He was willing to do whatever it takes to throw his stepbrother out of the house, and he succeeded, and managed to hide this until he got drunk one day.
I seriously hope he was divorced and thrown out the same way OP was thrown out because he can at least feel the pain OP felt.
No way he could be made to feel how OP felt.
At this point...should OP even care? He found himself a new and much better family full of people who actually support and bring happiness to his life. Whatever salvageable that was left in the rotting carcass that was his ex-family has decayed a VERY long time ago.
I doubt it. His wife may have left but if the parents are still alive they 100% backed up his shit
And the dad was a jerk for showing blatant favoritism towards his stepchildren and not listening to OP despite knowing there was some level of animosity between Mark and his son. I hope he realized what he lost in the end and that the new marriage was miserable.
@@akl2k7OP’s “dad” likely hated his own son and wanted any excuse to throw him out and never talk to him again then he found it when his clearly favourite child gave it to him
I'm pretty sure child abandonment IS a parent's problem. You can't just yeet a minor into the streets because you're mad at them, that is actually a crime and cps or even the regular police would have issue with that
OP could have at least gotten into a shelter if he'd contacted the police.
OP is now in his 50s, so I don’t think CPS was a very reliable source back when he was younger, if it even existed at all!
It’s tough, if this happened to my 16 year old self, I’d likely choose a similar path. Would not volunteer myself to CPS custody. Truly a terrible situation
Right? I mean there are parents who will defend their children to the death KNOWING they’re horrible people, then you have these parents who didn’t even ask one f-ing question afterwards??
I hope OP responded letting the girls know they weren’t exactly at fault but he’s doing well now so no-f-ing-thank you. I wish him all the best. And I wish Mark and the parents every empathy, courtesy, and understanding they showed OP.
@@stevenandcarminabeedle9089apparently did reply to the email saying he didn't blame his sister and was glad they knew the truth, but didn't want to be contacted again.
Last story: What are the odds the stepbrother is having an affair or lying to Lisa about other things? Guy clearly learned at an early age he can get away with anything.
It's definitely not the only shitty thing he's ever done. There are more skeletons in that closet.
He’s probably a serial killer.
@@Dragonmaster0118you could replace killer with liar and nothing would change
Damn
Odds are 1 to 1
Op, who was falsely accused, doesn't mention if his father is still alive, but certainly, his grandparents went to their graves believing the slander about their grandson. Mark's jealousy and maliciousness, expressed so many years later, speaks volumes about who he is as a human being.
Nope saw another comment say they’re both alive and the dad started crying.
1: "Relax, honey. We have TWO kids. We can risk losing one"
2: World's most pathetic man claims to be alpha while admitting he's both spineless and cries while soiling himself if he goes 5 minutes without attention
So basically like every guy who calls himself an alpha
As soon as I heard that line, I knew he was just one of those who pathetically has to refer to themselves as “alpha” and “beta” 😂
Lol
Perfect summary.
"Yes, I'm an alpha that was easily manipulated by an abusive woman."
The fact the first OP is getting attacked in the comments makes my blood boil. It's like they're all convinced that the husband did nothing wrong!
Moste people that use reddit are childless unmarried men so most probably don't see the problem
Plus there are a lot of incells on reddit that always blame women of the faults of adult men that is probably what happens in the comments of that story
😊
It probably because most of those people don't have kids and/or a spouse
Honestly it makes no sense at all, the guy was completely irresponsible and stupid, if it wasn't for the toddler's efforts and the mother getting there just in time, that baby could be crippled for the rest of its life or dead, would they still be defending the husband then? Ridiculous anyone would take his side in this.
@@juliaboskamp9666just because they don’t have kids themselves, doesn’t mean they don’t have common sense. Do not leave a baby alone in public, ever. Anything can go wrong at any time. Please don’t make excuses for their awful online presence.
That last story is something else, Mark is a monster but the dad isn't much better. Mark has shown a pattern of not liking/ attacking OP and then just believes Mark over OP especially with Mark openly going after OP for dating a girl he likes. On top of this Mark just happens to be the only one who's heard OP making creepy comments? Clearly this is a man who didn't love his son and prioritized Mark because it made his new wife happy.
I wish OP all the best and I wish his dad and Mark to lose everything of meaning in their lives one by one until they are nothing but empty shells left to stew in their own misery for the rest of their lives.
I hope the dad had a miserable marriage and that it wasn't worth not listening to his son.
@akl2k7 i completely agree
Op should take out a social media account and put pictures of his kids in some random park with a caption of " my only real family that doesn't just abandon you based on words of other and they always have your back no matter what"...
You know what the most disturbing part is?
Mark is in his 50s now, and after all that time, when he should've been maturing and growing as a person, he apparently has no remorse or regret at all for what he did to OP out of spite when he was a dumb, mean teenager, and is even proud of it and brags about it. That really goes to show how horrible of a person he is, and how much he has probably just gotten worse over time.
@itbesid1566 sociopath will sociopath.. wouldn't shock me if he had bodies somewhere..
Last story: I would have told the sil in an email "while I appreciate the apology I've moved on and don't want to go back to people who failed to believe me and let me sleep on the street when I was only a teenager, I'm living my best life free from the pain and anger that kept me alive through the many cold nights I had to sleep alone and without anyone to love and care for me in my darkest moments, so while the apology is appreciated I don't want anything to do with you or your family ever again i will never forgive how you all failed me and choose to believe the lies of the bil only to now decide to believe and attempt to reach out to me, so kindly lose my email and do not attempt any form of contact me or my new family ever again". Because what happened to you is inexcusable.
There’s an update. He actually did respond that he has moved on and that he doesn’t want them to reach out again.
@@KittenUndercover perfect response from op
Hot take but I don’t think even real purvs deserve to be on the street
@@mattybrunolucaszeneresalas9072 they should not be on the streets, but also should not be around potential victims. Having OP move in with grand parents would have been a reasonable answer IF he was actually a threat to his step sister.
I didn't expect rec/oncil/iation, but I'd love for the whole family to meet face-to-face.If not for 1 last time. not for "old times sake" but to chew them out politely and informatively. Whilst subtly fla/unting his life well lived as if it were a normal conversation
Update for the first story is the toddler went up to pet the neighbors cat, dad walked up the hill leaving the baby at the bottom without locking the wheels, baby stroller got moved by wind and was rolling down the road and almost got hit by a car all while dad stood there with his hand on his head doing nothing while everyone ran to help
the lack of parental instinct is beyond me...did he had a freezing response? that is dangerous , there's methods to prevent yourself from freezing
@@dinlupus3196 According to the update, the husband has ADHD and he's using it as an excuse.
I guess he froze in shock too, and yeh I know he has ADHD@@dinlupus3196
Ya it is a terrible excuse but folks with that condition really does have awareness and attention issues
I recently met a girl with a adhd and they definitely meet that condition
@@bcatbb2896 I understand that, my daughter used to be best friends with a girl who had ADHD and if she forgot her medication, she was dingy as I'll get out. It's not a good enough excuse since he left his 6 week old baby in it's stroller near enough to a road to talk to the neighbor. Even my daughter's friend would have enough sense to take the stroller with her to talk to someone. On a side note, as an adult now, my daughter's friend isn't as dingy anymore. She's actually got a really good job that she's been at since she was a senior in high school (which was about 8 years ago).
Last Story: You know the really unfortunate thing about this story is?
So Op is in his 50’s now, so like…there’s a VERY good chance that his dad and stepmom have passed away. Not that Op would have wanted anything to do with them just that his father died not knowing the truth.
Tbh i wouldnt talk to them either.
Glad Op had a happy ending.
There’s an update to the story and apparently his dad and stepmom are still alive and his stepsister mentioned his dads reaction. His dad had cried and is carrying around a lot of guilt over what he did to OP
@@epicsnail4614 As he should, his wife died and he basically treated his son with the tip of his toe in favor of his new wife's children and did not hesitate for a moment to throw him out on the street.
From how the story reads, I don't think it would've changed anything. OP's dad reads like he was just looking for any excuse to kick out his son.
@@sissicaecus662 And over 35 years and he at no point even checked to see if he was even alive and tried to reach out. Even if it was an explanation to why he was creeping on his sister (given he still believed Mark during those years)? I call that crocodile tears.
@@epicsnail4614 well boo-fucking-hoo. Should've listened all those years ago. But now it's simply WAY too late to fix anything.
Last story: I like the wife's idea, honestly. Both of them didn't protest, didn't try and find him all that time. They just feel guilty now they have irrefutable proof he was framed. He doesn't need that energy in his life.
They didn’t care to have him in their life’s why should he care about them
*Third OP:* I hope Mark and OP's 5perm donor get the lives they deserve, and I hope OP's mom haunts OP's 5perm donor for taking Mark's side and kicking OP out the house.
Yes, the real mom haunting the 5perm donor for the rest of his life and death over his cowardly act of playing judge, jury and executioner over an easily faked framing job.
THAT'S what I would need for this story to go from nauseating to cathartic.
Well, I mean, I guess Mark going to jail and losing everything (not necessarily in that order) would be good too.
All we can hope for is that the dad is extremely religious so at least he lives his last years in agonizing fear for his afterlife.
The Update to the 3rd story
First I want to thank everyone for their kind words and advice. I wasn't looking for advice, just wanted a place to share my story.
To those that gave me credit for overcoming everything, thank you, however the wife thinks she deserves most of it, lol. And in all honesty, she does.
To those that think this is fake. It's reddit, I get it, it is what it is. Most things have to be taken with a grain of salt. I shared my story, I can't make you belive me. But that's ok, it my story resonates and helps other know they can survive then I'm happy with that and that's all that matters .
Ok for the update. Gonna post most of the original email as a lot of you have requested, kept out some deep personal info but majority of it is there. Might have to break it up due to character limit.
Plus a response with the help of my wife. And also the help of others who made suggestions, which is good because I'm not that great at putting down in words how I feel without coming off looking dumb. She was able to make me sound less dumb. lol
Taking the family to the lake for the weekend to recharge and leave this all behind me. Thanks again to everyone.
The message to OP’s “family”
Dear Emily,
I appreciate you taking the time to reach out to me, but I must be honest with you. The years of pain and hurt caused by the lies and manipulation by Mark and the betrayal by Dad have left deep scars that will never be truly healed. While I understand that you are now aware of the truth and are genuinely sorry for what has transpired, I find it difficult to simply forgive and forget.
The betrayal and abandonment I experienced at the hands of my own family have left me with a sense of distrust and resentment that can never be overcome. The damage that has been done has impacted me in ways that you may never ever fully and truly understand, and the idea of trying to reconcile now feels like an insurmountable task.
I have spent years in therapy trying to come to terms with the pain and deep trauma I endured, and I have worked hard to build a wonderful life for myself that does not rely on the presence or approval of those who turned their backs on me.
While I am grateful for the apology and the newfound awareness of the truth, I do not feel compelled to rekindle a relationship that was built on lies, deception and betrayal. Especially after all these years.
I have found peace and closure in distancing myself from those who caused me harm, and I do not see the need to reopen old wounds in the name of reconciliation. While I believe in the power of forgiveness, that isn't something I can give.
I wish you all the best in your life, I really do, but I must prioritize my emotional health and self-preservation above all else. I hope you can respect my decision and understand that the wounds of the past will take a lifetime to heal. I would appreciate if you pass this fact on to the others and please don't reach out again. I must look to my future and not my past.
Sincerely, OP
This is such a calm response. I am young so I definitely would not have, had this level of grace.
I’m so happy his response still pressed upon the family their awful actions. I was worried he’d be too soft but this is good, because it still emphasizes that the family were a bunch of selfish idiots that threw away his life over a false claim they didn’t even investigate.
I love this for him. I wish him nothing but the best.
First story: imagine the trauma that the little girl would have had if the mother didn't save her little brother
No joke. But also, the toddler was awesome. Running after the stroller herself. That's such quick thinking and brave. I love that kid.
THANK YOU for covering the first story. I listen to this one in another channel and the guy was like "I think you were as exagerating, anyone can fail sometime" and I was like "NO WAY, If rSlash covers this one I bet he wouldnt side with the awful husband". I'm screaming just for seeing the title. Now I'm gonna watch it.
Dabney hates bad fathers. He said when he gives his daughter a bath, he never takes his eyes off her, even for his phone. That’s what this father should’ve done
Sounds like all it comes down to is people believing that the mother should be the one watching the kids while the father doesn't have to and if the father is made to watch, the mother is irresponsible while it's not the father's fault when things go wrong. Yeah, I don't believe in any of this nonsense either.
I really kind of want OP from the last story to show up, let everyone see that he's happy, successful, and thriving, and then dip out because they thought the worst of him for 30 years, they don’t deserve him at his best.
Nah, in that case don't let them know that his life is good now so they can't tell themselves "at least it worked out in the end"
Every time i hear a cheater as for advice to do whats next when they got caught and suffering their consequences, i think to myself "WAAH WAAH WAAH, I DON'T WANNA HEAR IT"
I wanna hear it. I need the entertainment
Or those stories where the husband gets bored and wants to open the marriage only to find out his wife gets more attention than his fragile mind can handle.
Fucking hell, the last story... I feel so sorry for OP. I hope Mark gets what's coming to him.
i was legit looking for comments ab this story. i’m horrified for him
And I hope the dad had a miserable marriage, despite shafting his son to make his new wife and kids happy.
@@sourappleringsthere’s an update..it’s in Two Hot Takes if that helps
After hearing your description of r/Adultery:
“Uh, yeah Thanos. Everyone who uses that subreddit, please.”
Story 1: Accident or not, I'd probably be so angry that I'd leave, too. It does not compute why a parent would just _walk off_ without taking the stroller with them. That kind of carelessness is deadly.
He was probably (if not likely) secretly hoping the one in the stroller would end up dying
@@bibigamer502Jesus Christ.
He forgot to lock the wheels of the stroller. It sounds like he was sleep deprived and spacy. Not a fucking child murderer. Where do you pull that assumption out of?
@@alexanderhenby1362 because of how obvious it is that he should’ve taken his child with him instead of leaving it in the street
@@alexanderhenby1362if he's that sleep deprived, then he shouldn't leave the house. That's like telling the cop "oh, I'm only a little drunk". An excuse doesn't cover the consequences of his actions.
@@alexanderhenby1362 maybe cause he willingly left one kid in an unlocked unsupervised stroller and ignored the other kid
Story 2: Whoops, OP! Maybe you shouldn't have started an affair in the first place! I don't care if things "got stale," at least TRY to work stuff out
Right? I kept rolling my eyes every time he tried to explain how bad things were for him, like boo hoo. This man was surprised that his actions had, get this, consequences? I've never seen someone try so hard to play the victim.
I wish the wife to divorce him sooner. There’s absolutely no way they can erase that affair like it’s nothing and he should have been more open with her from the very start. No amount of counseling would forget the choices he made for not facing the issues with his own wife.
I have no sympathie for cheaters just do the adult thing and talk or end the relationship like a adult
Maybe the problems in the family started because OP is cheating and the wife is finding out
He's literal scum-of-the-Earth. "I finally ended it with her" and then he says "It's been 2 whole weeks since I cheated on my wife and every second of it is torture". Never take back a cheater.
Story 1: Wait, there's people in the comments attacking her for this, wtf? The way OP reacted is very normal, she almost LOST HER NEWBORN due to her oblivious husband, people! I don't blame OP for yelling and leaving him, I would react the same way too.
Not only that, but she was INJURED IN THE PROCESS. I've never had a c-section, but I know the science around it and... ugh. Tearing those stitches could have gone very, very bad (think organs and muscles don't things that organs and muscles shouldn't do, and going places they shouldn't go). I'm not a parent, I don't plan on ever being a parent, but I'd rather be a single parent with living kids than a married parent with a dead kid because my partner is denser than osmium.
@@transsnack And with people who are nuttier than a fruit cake defending his ass.
Apparently it's because he has ADHD or something. They're enabling him for it when usually they say whatever you have isn't an excuse, hypocrites.
And then people still ask other people “why are you still with your partner” like how can we even tell with some of these people?!
I think the reason why people are blasting OP for this even though she's completely justified is because all those people are sexist, like they believe is the mother's job to watch the kids and the father doesn't have to and leaving the father to watch them is wrong because that's not how it's meant to be.
So the husband in the first story not only left his toddler and baby behind to talk to a friend? But he didn’t hear them screaming or his wife freaking out as she ran out to save the baby; and he claims it was a simple mistake!?
C section OP ........ FAKE, your stithes got ripped out after 6 weeks .... BULLSH!T
The stithes are removed after 5 to 7 days, 10 days at the most if you're a diabetic.
At 6 week it is completely healed on the inside and outside.
Story 1: That's not "trouble paying attention" or an "honest mistake." It's negligence.
That last story is freaking tragic, why the hell do people do this kind of thing without even TRYING to learn the truth?
All it took was an incredibly stupid set up for OP's family to dump him out in the streets wishing for his death.
Right?! Like they just, IMMEDIATELY believed Mark and didn't even friggin ask OP if that was true, etc. Yikes 😬
The options were to believe the golden child or give the black sheep a chance they rather go with the golden child every single time
They already wanted to get rid of him before it happened. It's very obvious.
I would have told Emily to shove it and to pass a message to dear old dad that he chose his new family so he can keep it. And that he has 4 beautiful granddaughters that he will never meet. And that Lisa is a piece of work for going with the stepbrother. I wouldn't be surprised if she and Mark were already cheating when this whole thing happened and she need a way out.
I was thinking the same thing on the cheating bit.
To be honest I think the only monsters here are Mark and the dad. The step sisters were really young and would be following their parent's lead, the mother, if she really didn't know it was a lie, would prioritize protecting her daughter over anything else, Lisa was also 15 so she's a child and was probably going to react extremely to the accusation. I also believe that someone like Mark who was willing to go this far to throw OP out would be manipulative enough to use her shock and upset feelings and leverage them into a relationship.
But that's only if the "parents" are alive. They'll probably be in their 70s/80s now
Step sister thought her step brother was stealing her underwear and that he was a pervert. She was being "protected" by the adults in her life who are supposed to do that.
@@BordrKing What “stepsisters” are you talking about? Do you think that Lisa - OP’s then *girlfriend* - was his stepsister?
Man that final story could've been a villain arc and a nuclear revenge story
Wow Story 1 was terrifying 😨. I don’t have the best attention span but it is nowhere near as bad as to let a STROLLER WITH A BABY NEARLY GET HIT BY A CAR! Jesus, no words can describe how that poor mother must’ve felt😭.
Was anyone else hoping that the last story ended with OP putting his boxing skills to good use on Mark? 😈
I was looking for this comment😅
That would have been somewhat appropriate, but op was smart. Pounding Mark at this point would just get op arrested.
I came to the comments to say that very thing.
UPDATE LAST STORY: OP posted the email from Emily as well as his response..I can’t copy and paste it but the gist is that the dad started bawling when he found out the truth. OPs response was kind but he said the pain was too deep and he thanked her but asked her never to reach out again.
That last story but my heart, I'm glad he moved on and survived and found love and family. What a incredible strength.
Wow!!! We barely avoided a plot point from “Pet Semetary” in the first minute. And he can’t even admit fault.
i had a morbid laugh out of this, i feel guilty
Heh?
I haven’t seen Pet Semetary or read the book, but I do know there’s a scene in which a little boy (a toddler) got away from his parents and got hit by a truck. He was killed instantly.
@@kristashafer93098 She, actually, its a girl
@@dinlupus3196 in the book and original movie from the 80s; it was the toddler son. They changed it up for the remake a few years back.
3rd story: How destroy your relationship with your own kid 101. Holy sh-t.
I hope OP never re-establish contact with anyone in that 'family'. The only answer should be "Lmao, is okay, never talk to me ever again tho". Or just erase it.
Like,damm, the mf-ing dad neglect his kid for years,then dump him with no hard proof of a serious accusation.
DUDE the father that was right there and must’ve heard his child screaming “DAD HELP!” And he just assumed it was nothing and ignored her so that ANYTHING could continue to happen to his daughter screaming and he didn’t even think to GLANCE?
He prioritised his own pleasure over his family
My only guess as to why the First story got many people bashing OP is because they're either not parents, or parents who got divorced after a mistake they did they consider "insignificant".
Just because it was the "First and only" time and nothing happened doesn't mean you shouldn't take actions. Especially with the update that seem to indicate he left the baby in the crade, in the middle of the road, with no brakes, for 20 minutes. That's not just "Not paying attention", that's being inconsiderate.
My guess with the first story is those people are likely sexist who believe that it's the mother's job to watch the kids while it's not the father's job to watch them and therefore, it's not his fault things went wrong on his part while the mother is irresponsible for letting it lead to it going wrong.
Op: this hate no longer affects me, and I'm better for it
Rslash: I would prefer to watch the world burn!
XD
Last story OP seems to have healed, though the underlying trauma will always be there and doesn't need to be brought back up. A simple, "nah, I'm good" might be enough. Acknowledge the message and request but mo more. Let them sort out their guilt.
There’s an update..he wrote back. His email was kind but he basically said he’s moved on and don’t reach out again.
@@KittenUndercover Thank you. That is good to know. Holding on to it only hurts him.
OP's "father" ,if you could even call him that, definitely hated him. I mean what kind of parent just throws on child out onto the streets without even hearing that child's side first. He also held BLATENT favoritism towards his stepfamily. Honestly if I was OP i wouldn't forgive any of them. They chose their side without hearing OP's and they can live with it.
I've seen it so many times in cases where one parent dies and the other remarries that the living parents starts pulling away from their kids emotionally. Doesn't seem to matter what the cause of death was, or how good or not their relationship was with their kids; As soon as the "new" family is in the picture, there's a disconnect that happens, especially if their kids don't quite mesh with the new family. This is a far more extreme version than I recall having heard of, but I'm unfortunately not surprised that it happened. (I'm not saying this always happens, but it happens often enough to be aware of it.)
I just really hope OP continues to have a great life while his ex-family get the lives they deserve.
Last Story: I'm not sure what happened to Mark in those first 14 years of life, but his mother clearly raised a sociopathic monster. I'm glad OP is doing well all these decades later, but that never should have happened, and it's all because one jacked up teenager was jealous. Tragic.
Last story, I would have replied with "Too late, there's a special place in hell for all of you!" then blocked them.
Except the stepsister. She was innocent in all this.
Not really.@@asmith8692
@@asmith8692She was a victim as well!
Like where if not from his own fantasies did Mark get the idea to fetishize his sisters underwear in this plan in the first place.
And do you really think this was the first and only time he stole his sister's underwear?
Marc sounds like the guy to accuse others of his own sins...
How is the 2nd story not on r/AmITheDevil??
Because it was on the Adultery subreddit. They're enablers.
@@danielbrant6740that whole sub is already the devil subreddit though.
Probably won't be for long until someone will put it there
Last Story: wtf. Anyone who’s lived in a household with more than 1 person doing laundry knows that laundry gets mixed up sometimes
Yeah especially since it was CLEAN underwear in his underwear drawer full of clean underwear. How does that even make you a perv? It's not like they found used panties riddled in cum stains.
Story 2: Gods, OP is the person you love to hate. What a terrible person and still wants to paint themselves as the victim - there is NO thought about anyone else aside from himself. Ugh!
Honestly with the OP from the last post's innocence finally revealed, I hope that Lisa and the rest of his family abandon Mark like they did OP. Give him the karma he deserves.
There’s an update. It doesn’t say what happened to Mark but given the fact that Lisa is the one who told everyone, I’d imagine he’s got at least a divorce in his future. OP replied to the email pretty kindly, he said he’s moved on and don’t reach out again.
"anyone who goes after my family can go" says the man having an affair
With how fast the last parents reacted, I think they wanted OP out. No denial, benefit of the doubt, nothing
I can’t believe Lisa would get with a sociopath like Mark. She knew he was mad at OP for asking her out and then gets with him after he conveniently has “proof” against OP. Everyone in that story (except the little sister because she was a child) is insane.
1st story: So wild, because I just read that one this morning!
3rd story: I remember reading that one and was just stunned at how OP's family just threw him away like that. I can't say I blame him for not wanting to reconcile with them. In an update he did tell Emily that he appreciates her reaching out to him and telling him about Mark's confession but that he didn't want a relationship with any of them and not to contact him again. I felt bad for Emily because she was just a kid when it all happened and believed what everyone else told her. I don't feel bad at all for the Dad and the others because they could have made things right with OP years ago. And even after Lisa told Emily about Mark's drunk confession, no one else in that family reached out to OP. Emily said Dad was carrying around guilt but if he truly was, he would have tried to make amends with his son. In the end that whole family still chose Mark over OP after learning the truth, even Lisa seems to have stayed with him, so good riddance.
Nahhh If im op not forgiving any of them even the stepsister.. Emily only reached out to clear her conscience not to " make amends"
Story 1: I have ADHD. I don't have a kid but I sure as fuck wouldn't be so fucking dense as to hyperfixate on a convo with my neighbor and ignore my daughter screaming that something is FUCKING WRONG! Fuck I wouldn't be so fucking stupid as to let that kind of situation get that bad in the first fucking place.
I work around my ADHD, like writing notes on my own hand.
I think anyone with attention problems is more than capable of finding work arounds and any parent with those issues should be extra preventative out of love for their own kid.
What people seem to not understand is that, these diagnoses are not death sentences. It's a condition that you have to work around with like a mere impediment. He cannot endanger his own infant and just hide from the safe space created by the ✨ADHD✨
RIGHT!? Like, even if I managed to forget for a moment that I had a kid, the moment I heard ANY kid screaming my attention would be on them! Who doesn't respond to the sounds of a child screaming with at least curiosity? Like the minimum response is "Oh, I wonder what the kids are playing? should check in case it's not a game." But then again I'm a caring and responsible adult with ADHD
You know, I have a daughter that I don't see as much as I want.
However, if we're outside, and my eyes aren't on her for literal seconds, I start getting a bit nervous.
Maybe it's all the horror stories, or it's an actual parental instinct, but either way ... what was that dude on?!
Why didn't HE get this!?
The messed up part about the last story is the dad never even considering that his son may be innocent.
Also the way he acted super methodically and immediately informed the grandparents not to take their grand child in.
Odd that OP didn't go to the police though, no way that was legal.
Story 1: There is no coming back for OP's husband, his recklessness / carelessness & lack of attention toward his own kids has cost him his marriage and proper relationship with his kids. HIs daughter although a toddler will know that shouting / calling for daddy won't work since he won't pay attention. Also I've got to point to OP's neighbours who the husband was talking to, although not their responsibility they must've heard the kids call for help for their father yet they did nothing and continued their conversation instead of directing OP's husband to see to his kids. OP should 100% leave her husband, simply due to the fact that he is reckless with the lives of his kids, she should also send the neighbours camera footage to her husbands parents showing them what their son did.
Have to add. Why did the husband have to leave the kids on the street unattended while he chatted to the neighbours? He could've simply walked over to the neighbours and took the kids with him and chatted while also keeping an eye on the kids.
When that guy said he was a boxer I was hopping for a little more.... physical revenge...
With the last story, I'd take the wife's advice and say "it only took 30 years to figure it out, huh?" His father and grandparents probably died without ever knowing the truth. Like, no matter what, your first instinct should not be to just kick out your kid like that.
Don’t know about his grandparents but there was an update..his father is still alive and he sobbed when he found out. OP also did respond to Emily, he was kind but firm..he said he moved on and not to reach out again.
First story: dad messes up and a lot of people are asking why mum wasn't watching the kid? Wtf is wrong with people
For story 3 : Op should take out a social media account and put pictures of his kids in some random park with a caption of " my only real family that doesn't just abandon you based on words of others and leave you in the street and always have your back no matter what through thick and thin anyone else that says theyre my family is lying and anyone else's that says theyre my family is full of liars and decidvers".....
Story 3: The fact that they didn’t even bother to let OP tell his side, shows us that nobody, not even his own father, remotely cared about him from the very start and this was the reason they could finally kick him out.
I need to post a correction: A parent never, "watches the kids." That is what babysitters/nannies do. A parent parents the the kids. My eldest is away at university, so she doesn't need much parentening any longer, but when I saw her last week, me, dad, did take a onceover on her car (I was ready to purchase her new tires or fix anything she needed. The good news is that the car was fine, and her girlfriend is adorable.)
I think the saddest thing about the last story is that, even after 30 years, the brother is still not any better of a person
Sociopath gonna sociopath...
Honestly, OP sounds like an unusually observant parent. Most parents just ignore their kids while they're screaming or almost getting killed.
My dad had a firm rule “No screaming or shouting unless you’re in danger.” Because a parent SHOULD react to that stuff, not tune it out.
Who the hell raised you? That’s not normal at all.
The fact that I was getting genuinely angry with you while listening to the affair story just shows how good you are at reading these stories lmao. I’m always happy to see a new video from you! I love your occasional commentary too
Story 1: What does it matter what OP was doing? The point is Dad was with the kids, and didn't notice that his newborn was rolling away while his toddler with trying to run after the stroller and got hurt. Are there seriously people trying to pin blame on OP for not watching over her kid 24/7 when they were with their dad?
I get accidents can happen but there is no excuse for him not to have heard your daughter screaming for help because he couldn't keep his hand on a stroller while talking at the same time. Like maybe you can forgive him but the smart thing for him to do is give you some much-needed space because I'm not apparent but I don't think I could ever look anyone in the eye after that for a minute.
Nah, because you assume the stroller was even BY him when that happened 😂😂😂(I'm not mad at you, it's just silly that there's an update like 4 people have covered and so many aren't reading them)
He had just left the stroller by the road at the end of the driveway for about 20 minutes, talking to the neighbor by the houses.
It's not that he couldn't talk with a hand on the stroller, he straight up abandoned the stroller to talk to someone else. I think I would have hit him.
@@lillylovegood2300 WTF in people are actually trying to defend him? Well f*ck those people trying to defend him, who the hell just leaves a stroller with a baby like that?
@@d.phantomfan1216 EXACTLY!!
But maybe that's just a common thing people with ADHD do, cause that is what's being argued by others in the comments
"It's not right, but don't leave him. It's just ADHD." Nahhhhhh if ADHD makes someone do that, they should probably be on medication
@@lillylovegood2300 They are defending him, because people think that women are the only ones who raises children and men are 'babysitting' them when he takes care of his children. Basically it's based on sexism that fathers can make these "mistakes" and mothers can't. I bet if a mother did the same he did, she will be tear to shreds by the people defending the dad.
and because he has ADHD even tho many people with it can watch children better than him.
@@lillylovegood2300 I have ADHD and I forgot things like reheating food in the microwave and my own plans in the meantime, NOT FORGETTING ABOUT TWO CHILDREN IM SUPPOSED TO BE WATCHING!
Absolutely baffling that the dad abandoned a stroller just to talk to someone. Even if there wasn't a busy road to worry about, why would you leave a baby alone and helpless like that? You can talk and mind a baby at the same time.
Every parent of a newborn _I've_ met would walk up with the baby like "look what I made!"
That last story is amazing. OP is so mature.
The fact that the dad just left the stroller behind (locked or not) is bonkers to me. I'm not a parent (yet), but when you see anyone you want to have a convo with and have young kids in tow, you take the kids over with you. That's what I would've done, and that's what I always see IRL. So, why didn't the dad just do that? Also, why didn't the neighbors say anything?? I would've been like, "Oh, it's okay if you want to bring your kids over. I don't mind. Bring them over, I want to say 'hi.'" Basically a subtle way of saying, "What are you doing leaving your kids over there unattended like that?? KEEP THEM WITH YOU." I guess common sense isn't so common anymore...
rslash, your authentic and honest responses and expressions continue to be refreshing and uplifting :D
Last Story: OMG What a psychopath Mark is! Evil actual! OP's dad and the rest of his stepfamily, kinda, are not as good. Like, it's been like 30 years, and NOW they wanna try talking with OP, and start believing him? Yeah, no...! What morons.
Yeah, I'd probably do what OP's wife says and send an email like that! Like, yeah geez, *" You finally know the truth after 30 FREAKING YEARS! Give yourself a bone, you've accomplished the " I TOLD YOU SO, but you FAILED to believe me! " award. "*
the idea that people are attacking the mom in the first story and defending the husband is insane, and i've heard too many stories lately of women being blamed for men's actions. HOLD MEN ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS! Women are not their babysitters! ffs
Basically everyone on Reddit just jumps the gun and goes straight to thinking that someone is gonna be abusive based on one action.
It would be like if I interpreted your comment as a man hating rant
@@ReverseRslash might make sense until you realize i'm a man
Great ep! Been nice to not have repeating stories lately.
Story 2: stories like this just remind me whenever I consider a relationship one of the many reasons why you should never ever ever ever cheat. It’s just, never gonna end well. Ever.
Last story...
Oh my GOD this infuriated and saddened me so much!!! I hope karma severely bites Mark in the ass!!! What a sociopath!!! Am glad that OP ended up with a happy life, but he should HAVE NEVER had to have gone through that in the first place!! I can't imagine just how traumatic and hard that would have been and having nowhere to go.
Story 1: I can understand getting distracted, I get distracted easily too, but couldn't the husband at least have the presence of mind to keep his focus??? I personally have trained myself to do a mental slap the moment I catch myself slipping and almost doing another thing while watching my toddler cousins, and I've only ever been put on babysitting once a week! Surely, the husband, who has had at least the same amount of time to spend with his children, could have trained himself to focus for a few hours! Getting easily distracted is not an excuse when the result of his actions would have meant a dead child! I couldn't even imagine one of my cousins getting horribly injured while on my watch because I got distracted.
I'm loving the variation on the sub reddits recently, keep it up!
13:36
The step sister, given her age at the time, was as a victim as well. She probably believed all these years that her stepbrother was a creep.
oh yay, back on the normal time
Story no 3: i get siding with the victim, but not even trying to have OP explain of proof his uninvolvement is so weird, especially since the dad is his own bio dad?
Why would u trust the step son's claims more than ur own flesh n blood? Especially since the parents already know the 2 boys dont have the best relationship with each other?
I wish OP would just ignore the email n let the entire family sweat n squirm their whole lives, knowing they "punished" the wrong person
I'm literally trying to listen to the cheating story while cleaning, and I can't wipe the disgust of my face. Was an absolute piece of work.
I love that hes branching out would be great if some of these subs stayed so the rotation feels fresh
Good morning to everyone.
good morning stinky
Kiddos in the comments...ifcyou are a minor and your parents put you on the street, call the cops and send their ass to jail. That is illegal. Make them pay.
When the guy said “she was really beating up my heart, then kissing it better” at 5:16 mark, it made me think of what my grandpa used to tell me grandma. She could be hateful in her words, then she would cuddle up by him like nothing happened. Grandpa would say, “there’s no use in kicking a dog then petting it while it’s down”.
Oh wow
"She's my friend, but not my _best_ friend," and "I'm head over heels for the first time in my life." Pretty much tells you all you need to know. Why did he even marry his wife? People like this are never satisfied. You could almost feel sorry for them, if they didn't cause so much hurt to the people who love them.
I think it would be fun if the editor did the reading on 1 april.
Seconded.
The Last Story has an update:
First I want to thank everyone for their kind words and advice. I wasn't looking for advice, just wanted a place to share my story.
To those that gave me credit for overcoming everything, thank you, however the wife thinks she deserves most of it, lol. And in all honesty, she does.
To those that think this is fake. It's reddit, I get it, it is what it is. Most things have to be taken with a grain of salt. I shared my story, I can't make you belive me. But that's ok, it my story resonates and helps other know they can survive then I'm happy with that and that's all that matters .
Ok for the update. Gonna post most of the original email as a lot of you have requested, kept out some deep personal info but majority of it is there. Might have to break it up due to character limit.
Plus a response with the help of my wife. And also the help of others who made suggestions, which is good because I'm not that great at putting down in words how I feel without coming off looking dumb. She was able to make me sound less dumb. lol
Taking the family to the lake for the weekend to recharge and leave this all behind me. Thanks again to everyone.
Dear OP,
This is your sister Emily, as I sit down to finally reach out to you after what feels like an eternity, I would like to explain why. I understand if you choose not to read this, but I truly hope you will take the time to at least hear me out.
First of all, I want to apologize for never taking the time to contact you before. I was misled by Mark and Dad, who constantly painted a negative picture of you in my mind. They filled my head and heart with lies and made me believe that you were someone you were not. For a while, I held onto hope that you would come back home, but as time passed and their words continued to poison my thoughts, I let go of that hope and allowed myself to believe the worst about you.
It pains me to admit that I even started to hate you, despite the fact that deep down, I always considered you a brother to me. I felt betrayed by the twisted image that was presented to me, and I regret not reaching out to hear your side of the story sooner.
A lot has changed in our family since you left. I got married, and now you're an uncle. Mom and Dad are still together, and are preparing for retirement. Mark and Lisa eventually got married, and they have no children. However, the truth that has recently come to light has shaken the very foundation of everything I thought I knew.
On Friday, Lisa overheard Mark boasting about how he orchestrated the set-up against you, how he manipulated the situation to make you look bad, and how he convinced us to turn against you to his friends as they all got drunk. They laughed about the pain he caused you and the lies he spread, all while belittling you in the cruelest and meanest ways possible. Saying things, like they hope you died in the streets.
Lisa couldn't keep this bombshell to herself, and when she confided in me, my world came crashing down. To think that I could have been so wrong about you for all these years is a heavy burden to bear. I can't begin to express how deeply sorry I am, as is Lisa. We both realize now the extent of the manipulation and deceit that was carried out against you, and we are devastated by this fact.
After sharing this revelation with Mom and Dad. Dad started crying, like really crying. I've never seen him cry before. I believe it because he has been carrying around a lot of guilt all these years. Obviously, now knowing the truth, he is now having to deal with the consqueses of his actions. However after several hours of talking, we all came to the conclusion that we needed to find you and make amends. I have spent hours trying to locate you, in the hopes that I could reach out and extend a heartfelt apology for the years of misunderstanding and mistreatment and hurt.
I know that words can never undo the damage that has been done to you, but I sincerely hope that you can find it in your heart to forgive us. We long to make amends, to start anew, and to maybe even make up for lost time.
Please know that I am truly sorry for the pain and hurt that you have endured because of our ignorance and blindness. I hope that someday we can meet in person, so that I can look you in the eye and express my remorse face-to-face.
I can only hope that you will consider giving us a chance to right the wrongs of the past and to heal the wounds that have been inflicted on you by us.
With all my love and sincerest apologies Your sister, Emily
Dear Emily,
I appreciate you taking the time to reach out to me, but I must be honest with you. The years of pain and hurt caused by the lies and manipulation by Mark and the betrayal by Dad have left deep scars that will never be truly healed. While I understand that you are now aware of the truth and are genuinely sorry for what has transpired, I find it difficult to simply forgive and forget.
The betrayal and abandonment I experienced at the hands of my own family have left me with a sense of distrust and resentment that can never be overcome. The damage that has been done has impacted me in ways that you may never ever fully and truly understand, and the idea of trying to reconcile now feels like an insurmountable task.
I have spent years in therapy trying to come to terms with the pain and deep trauma I endured, and I have worked hard to build a wonderful life for myself that does not rely on the presence or approval of those who turned their backs on me.
While I am grateful for the apology and the newfound awareness of the truth, I do not feel compelled to rekindle a relationship that was built on lies, deception and betrayal. Especially after all these years.
I have found peace and closure in distancing myself from those who caused me harm, and I do not see the need to reopen old wounds in the name of reconciliation. While I believe in the power of forgiveness, that isn't something I can give.
I wish you all the best in your life, I really do, but I must prioritize my emotional health and self-preservation above all else. I hope you can respect my decision and understand that the wounds of the past will take a lifetime to heal. I would appreciate if you pass this fact on to the others and please don't reach out again. I must look to my future and not my past.
Sincerely, OP
Thank you!!
Id 1000% wanna see an update for the last story. I know id be extremely petty to them. If i even considered accepting their apology theyd have to do a lot to make things right.
Yep
Finally get to watch new RSlash on my birthday!
Why the hell are there actually people AGAINST OP in the first story???!!!!
Religions and Indoctrinations.
They actually believe that keeping a relationship, even if your partner rapes you, because you won't consent, is always better than a divorce. Because of their public image.
They'd rather look like part of a happy family, than actually being happy.
What the fuck was that last one
Can we talk about it for a minute
OP in the third story had posted some updates of the exchanges between him and his step sister.
2nd story: makes me think of a bit from the dinner party episode of Peep Show; Mark making fun of Jez for his ‘conflicted feelings’ two timing a couple. “Oh yes, you’re life is so horrible *hump hump grunt* 😭 *hump hump grunt*
i don’t give a crap what that guys going through who is and what ever else.. WATCH YOUR DAMN KIDS
Story 1: What the husband did sounds like something I would do. What do I do to prevent it? Not having kids. And never babysit helpless children without another adult's supervision. But then again I guess its too late for them... OP did the right thing after choosing the wrong man to give her children.
The first story has a distinct Eisenstein feel to it. Just imagining the toddler running to save her brother and falling...
“We’re both alphas” 💀 7:26
Bro is 47 and saying that shit
