Who could have predicted that a mom and son having consensual sex was best case scenario?
I dunno, drugs would still have been better
@@realrealwarpethonestly I’d have taken a story about a spiralling heroin addiction over OPs actual situation
I feel that the first story ia fake, why was she so cuddly with him if it was SA?
@@gamer1q658could be, its reddit afterall. But to play devils advocate, the son maybe wanted his mum to be cuddly with him
@@tyrellwharfewharfe4387 maybe, but is feels still pretty off
I normally hate creative writing being passed off as a real scenario on the internet… but this is one of those situations where I *hope* that first story is a writing exercise.
I suspect it is. Or it's a somewhat real story that has been vastly exaggerated and dramatized.
Based on the language, OP is probably South Asian, I'd guess a wealthier area, and took English as a second or even third language as a teen. It's weirdly cold and matter of factly written. The father also does a lot of business trips, which suggests he makes decent money, which means OP probably went to a good school, etc.
I think it happened, and were it written in the op's native tongue, probably even more expressive.
Same. Please let this be fake...
I think it’s fake
I can't imagine how horrible it must be to realize there's something fundamentally wrong with your child. You hold them in your arms as a baby, overjoyed and thinking about what kind of a person they'll become, only to realize that there's something wrong with them that no amount of love can fix. You bring something so beautiful into the world, and then they become something that, for everyone's safety, needs to be taken out of it.
I was thinking the same thing. And also that it's incredibly sad and unfair that some people are born this way in the first place.
After watching "We need to talk about Kevin" and knowing a person who to my knowledge had very loving parents yet still grew up to be an abusive, walking devil, I'm terrified at the idea of raising children only for them to end up this bad, especially if therapy never ends up working.
Just be glad you can let's just say I had a relative a half-brother like that and yeah just be glad you can't imagine it I don't have to I gave a s*** about him once you never did it again after the time he attempted to murder me I was never able to get over that until recently and yeah I'm still not welcoming his ass anywhere around me that's not the first time he attempted to murder me he attempted to murder me and my grandmother by burning the house down but fortunately the dumbass didn't realize the Jerry cans only hold a limited amount of gasoline so he only managed to burn down a bush he threatened me and my grandmother multiple times to kill us in our sleep he abused my grandmother and the only reason he was able to do any of this is because the justice system would find me guilty if I would have heard him in any way shape or form even if it was in self-defense because well he was a kid that doesn't matter to me kid Elder adult teenager if someone tries to kill you or threatens to kill you you should have the right to defend yourself male or female it shouldn't matter if it's a girl it shouldn't matter if it's a guy you should have the right to defend yourself against these monsters oh I forgot to mention that the first time you tried to murder me he was still with us in the end and then when we finally got rid of him he was forced to come back Oh and before we got rid of them it was my choice and I gave him a second chance and I can do it anymore after that cuz well there wasn't going to be any chance after the second but anyway he had to come back because he raped his sister so you know and then that's when he attempted to murder us and abused us and all that other s*** so yeah being afraid for your life isn't Fun and I can tell you right now I refuse to do that s*** again if someone's threatening my life making me afraid to go to sleep they ain't staying around me
Oh and I forgot to mention that no one did s*** about this in fact he lied and said my grandmother abused him but in reality he fell down running away from her and he got bruises and now she has a charge for child abuse or some b******* like that yes there is a witness to this but guess what the justice system doesn't give a s*** CPS DHR they're all worthless pieces of s***
@@microwaveoven9170imagine the following
A 5 year old child who suffered a ABHORRENT ATROCITY of abuse it utterly obliterates their mind leaving nothing but a autonomous former shadow of a broken shattered life what was now is a hatred of incomprehensible and omni-murderous malice it was all that was left
Whatever was now there is absolutely wanting nothing but absolute annihilation of all life and existence
Might be a hot take on the 3rd story mom, but, "I've been trying to get over it" EXCEPT getting therapy the one thing that might actually help me get over it
Therapy can be really hard to start for some people. You are opening up about your most vulnerable secrets to someone who is a total strange. If there is already anxiety there, it can make it even worse with all the what ifs. It took her this long to tell her son what was going on, so I wouldn't be shocked if that was part of it. There could be cultural stigma around therapy too.
@@10Raccoon yes, it is hard, but as a parent, you kind of have a duty to do everything in your power to make sure you are properly able to care for your children to the best of your ability.
Not going to therapy because it is hard, and that resulting in her making her son feel less loved, is objectively bad and is her fault in the end.
She had the choice between doing what is right and what is easy, and she picked the easy choice.
@@10Raccoonyeah, she's a parent who admitted to needing therapy but made an active choice to abuse and neglect their child
Agreed. This mother chose to have children without dealing with her own trauma and so also chose to pass her trauma along to her son.
I say that as a CSA survivor and as the black sheep in an otherwise abusive FOO. So, I know how difficult it is to even start therapy - the inner hurdles to overcome and the practical difficulties such as finding a good therapist, paying for it, scheduling appointments around work, etc., etc. I also understand the massive stigma around mental illness and getting therapy the pressures on us both from inside and outside to not go.
But, at the end of the day while none of what was done to us was our faults, and while none of the factors deterring therapy are our faults, how we move forward is entirely our responsibilities. It is massively unfair but that is how it is.
This mother chose to not deal with her inner demons. She opted have children without dealing with her inner demons. And so, purposefully or no, she chose to inflict her inner demons on her kid(s).
I'm a parent who I can see I treat my daughter differently than my son. It's easier for me to show signs of affection to my daughter than to my son.
I still give my son love and affection But I have to force it. I've been in therapy for well over a decade.
I do tell my son it's not his fault it's me and I can't tell him the reason why.
When I was his age 12. My dad became a convicted sex offender. To a 14 year old girl.
My mom then took that information, Put me in therapy. And she and the therapist basically brainwash me to believe that my dad and his friends sexually abused me.
My dad never sexually abused me. They went listen to me they had no proof they had nothing they just kept telling me I was wrong.
So Every Sign of physical affection became wrong to me. I had to force myself to hug or show affection or be near people I cared and loved about my own parents siblings friends family.
Exceptions being babies and small children. My dad was the parent who cared about me and cared for me. My mom wanted to abort me my dad wanted to keep me.
My mom told me my dad only wanted me because he thought I was going to be a boy And a namesake. I was a girl. He raised me like a boy. Till I lost him at age 12.
The only person I have ever met that I can physically feel comfortable with is my husband. And my daughter most of the time but even with her, As my kids get older it's harder and harder for me.
And I can't explain that to my son because his Grandpa was his best friend. It was a wonderful grandfather.
A few years ago my dad passed away. Someone came forward and there's a possibility that the Girl who accused him gave a false report. The person who told me said that the girl went up to him and admitted to lying about my dad.
I don't know how truthful that is. My dad was blackout drunken doesn't remember anything.
All that affects me. It affects my parenting. Simple innocent hugs became wrong to me. Now as my son is getting older he's at the age that I lost my dad. He's becoming less like a child, The more inappropriate physical signs of affection feels to me.
But I still forced my way through it. Because my children need to feel that love from me. I love them so much. Therapy and understanding yourself can only take you so far. I can't change how my body reacts and feels, But I can manage it.
That's not what the mom there did. She chose one child over the other and that's not right.
Story 1: I thought it was the mom’s fault. But always read the story. It’s disgusting that the son wanted to do it with other girls. I hope that family will stay safe.
Yes him wanting to do it with other girls was the problem.
@@zally8183 I think they meant SA other girls is the problem. The phrasing was just wrong.
I also thought the same, mainly because there was another similar story where it turned out that the mom was forcing the son to do it ever since he was underage. Initially I was thinking rslash was reading that same story from a while ago
Movie about this called “the strange thing about the johnsons” by ari aster (midsommar, hereditary) about a son doing this to his father
Did I miss if they ever said they were blood related, or anything like that? Like I know it's not the main point, the SA is, but... I feel like that does add a degree (at least to the psychologic point)
Oh my God, I feel for OP from the last story, living in extreme fear of your own child. She has to move, move as far away as she can while he’s still locked up with the remaining family members she has.
I remember a story where the kid was just a constant danger, the family ended up moving to the lower part of the house(it was on a hill iirc). They basically lived in hiding from this completely insane person until the guy just left.
If he truly is a psychopath/sociopath, then I suspect he has a superiority complex, and he needs that belief that "I'm better then everybody else because I'm not held back by emotions/empathy" to be removed from him. Through intensive treatment, and not the therapy kind. Therapy usually doesn't work on people without a sense of empathy, because they simply don't care enough for it to work.
that story reminds me of an episode of criminal minds where this 14yr old was left in Alabama at a fire station cause that state has a clause that unwanted children (usually infants) can be left anonymously at fire houses and churches. The mother chose to do that because the boy twisted his 9yr old sister's arm behind her back so hard she got a spiral fracture.
@@shaunalennon3144 I just watched that episode
I watch some criminal case YT channels and in almost every case where a person who commits an awful crime and if they're relatively young, even in their 20's, there are heaps of posts putting blame on the parents and particularly the mum. Sometimes of course the crim has had a shabby upbringing, but sometimes they have been good and loving parents who have neither abused nor spoilt their children, yet their child is bad to the bone. Sometimes they're born that way.
But the kid is still a minor, so may be difficult to move away.
Story 5: The hell was up with that doctor refusing to listen to someone saying they were _fearing for their life_ then telling them they'll be charged if CPS is called? I'd be calling whoever is above them for that.
Don't waste time with the hospital. Call CPS yourself, the police and a lawyer.
Last story, this is why “they’re just a kid” shouldn’t keep them from being put in a facility
It should be reserved for the most extreme cases, but this is a perfect example of such a case
Ideally a mental health facility so they can get care or at least be kept comfortable while being prevented from hurting people, not a jail, absolutely!
That last story is brutal but it's also shows why sociopaths are so dangerous.
They tend to be highly intelligent, always manipulative and have little to no empathy.
As the story was told to me, the only reason my father is still alive is because my sociopath uncle happened to miss a shot and only grazed my dad's arm with a BB gun instead of getting him in the head as a child. When my grandmotger caught my uncle shooting at my dad she scolded my uncle, my grandfather tanned my uncle's hide and took the rifle away, my uncle threw a tantrum because he had missed and now he couldn't shoot at my dad anymore. Uncle was 8 and my dad was 3
It's extraordinarily unlikely to be killed by a bb gun. I'm not saying it's impossible or excusing the kids behavior or anything like that, just saying it's almost impossible. Not totally impossible but damn near. I've been shot by bb guns a dozen times. They hurt but they are not generally lethal. And yes internet contrarians, I am aware that there are very high powered pellet guns out there that definitely can kill someone, especially a child but I doubt that's what we are talking about here.
Guy did save his mom. He suspected, and did something about it by telling his dad. Plenty of people would have just kept quiet.
Exactly right!
I agree completely.
The last sentence, feeling like a failure for not protecting her . . . It's heartbreaking.
OP *_didn't_* fail. OP's sensitivity to the warning signs, investigating and actually taking action were what made it stop. OP made it stop!
OP saved their mother, *_AND_* the other ladies who were being victimised by the brother!
OP is a hero, not a failure - I hope they can come to realise that.
This is unreal. How the fuck does one look at their own mother that way?! The brother will never be rehabilitated and needs to ve locked up for life.
There is an actual term for it, look up Oedipus complex. Oedipus is from Greek Mythology, he was the king of Thebes who unwittingly killed his father, and married his mother. Homer related that Oedipus's wife and mother hanged herself when the truth of their relationship became known, though Oedipus continued to rule Thebes until his death.
@@Ryanthusar It wasn't homer. Homer was the odyssey. It was the playwright Sophocles, part of a trilogy of plays.
Either way, it takes a special kind of messed up in the head to have those thoughts. If he does it to his own family, he is very dangerous
I thought the mother was actually just making stuff up to absolve herself by throwing the brother under the bus, because when cheaters get caught, that's one of the top excuses you hear in these stories ("I was drunk, I was taken advantage of, blah blah"). I'm not sure if the actual truth is more bizarre or less bizarre, this entire situation is just insane.
The brother is probably a sociopath by the sound of it.
"looking" that way at their mother is something, but actually r-ing your own f-ing mother? that's beyond disgusting, that's pure evil, there's no words to describe it
Story 3: I get that the mom has trauma in he past. That doesn't explain why she never tried to seek professional help in 20 YEARS.
Money? Fear? A lack of time? 🤷♀
You also need to consider how intensely the ability to access and the public opinion towards getting therapy has changed in the past 5 years, let alone 20. You'd have people laugh at you for the idea of going to therapy when you're doing well enough to have a job and kids. I mean you still do now, but it was definitely worse then
@@chere100or maybe because she never cared
@@Nova-lu3owdon’t care you literally hated one of your kids and still haven’t tried to work on yourself in 20 years
@@Nova-lu3owYou're absolutely right. It makes more sense to worry about appearances than a child's well-being for 20 years. And then to have the audacity to tell that child "well, my bad, been meaning to have that checked out for a while now" like it's the check engine light on a car, well that's insane.
In story 3 Op really shouldn't blame themselves for that kind of thinking because he truly did feel neglected for that long. I will say for the mother who went through that trauma it is completely understandable and very very sad beyond means. However you projecting that onto your child only makes it worse cause its not op's fault what happened to the mom. I am not downsizing anyone who went through of the worse kind as it does a number on people.
OP*
@@balorth i was re editing for more words and I had saw that
Willing to bet that the only reason OP is alive is because he was a twin if he was a sole male child she probably would have aborted, I don't really understand why she isn't at fault, this is literally the most toxic envoirment to be raised into and then get the truth bombed into your face that you were an unwanted child just because of the actions of someone sharing the same sex.. Yikes woman should not have had children.
Agreed, I don't even know how OP seriously thought him feeling neglected and unloved by his mom and rightfully being upset about that somehow was him "making his mom's trauma all about himself." Like dude, you didn't even know that happened, how can you make someone's trauma about yourself even though you don't even know they were traumatized to begin with?
And like-
She shouldn’t have had children if she disliked men that much cause there’s always a chance it’ll be male
Jeez, it’s terryfying to think some people can be born, treated with great love and care, and still just be fundamentally ”evil”. Mental disorders are a scary and tragic thing
Its just an example that nature can overpower nurture
I know this will sound horrible but I've heard of cases like this before and in all instances the ending is horrible, it just makes me think that some people really are NOT meant to be alive...
Maybe some time in the future we will develop some king of brain surgery that will fix this behaviors, not like lobotomy that just takes your autonomy away, but an actual honest to god cure for sociopathy and other mental ilnesses... but until then we are basically screwed.
I agree with @TheGamerbeasts101
As much as I hate to say it, I do think some people are born evil. Even if they had a loving upbringing, they can still turn out bad. Of course I know it’s not their fault because it’s usually caused by mental illness and you can’t blame someone for being born with something. But like OP’s friend said, sometimes you can’t fix what’s broken. Some people lack insight. True, insight can be developed over time but for some people, especially sociopaths, it never develops. Despite your best intentions, ultimately you can’t help someone who doesn’t want to be helped.
@@sheilabalderas780 mmm, i dont think so, at least not in the way you may think, we are a social species, we can have herd mentality, social pain, fear of isolation and such, but i dont think it is in our instinct is to be like that...
i was discussing this thing with a friend actually,i asked him if he think that sociopathy was a recessive or progressive genetic thing since it makes people more intelligent but prone to violence (he thinks is recessive).... so i think you right that is nature, but not OUR nature specifically, just some genetic thing
My father is one of these. There is truly nothing you can do but RUN.
No doubt the brother will try to off op if he ever gets the chance.
Fr this shit is wild💀
Op better get strapped then.
He's already done two of the four worst things a human can do. Lets hope he doesn't get a chance to try for a full house.

2nd story: you wanna know what's really unethical? US tuition prices
First story: don’t blame yourself OP. You actually helped your mom and it’s a the normal thought after all.
It's a really weird story though
@@bigjalapeno7061 definitely!!
OP ruined it - mom was silent despite all evidence the brother had on his "crime" ald let him had his way for a whole year. Ask yourself why
@@bigjalapeno7061"It's a really weird story though"
It sure is. How are we supposed to know that she wasn't the instigator/perpetrator? Especially considering the power imbalance.
@@knrdvmmlbkkn Maybe
Last story, I feel for OP, I was in a similar circumstance where my son was violent to my daughter and I and we were terrified he’d kill us. No suicide but during his hospital stay the doctors said they couldn’t keep him and I needed a plan. I told them I have no relatives nearby, there is no place to send him and what should I do, they just kept reiterating I needed a plan even when I asked what they thought I should do. I took him home and slept with my door locked and a dresser against it until I was able to transfer him to his father (who by the way encouraged this behavior). Our social systems will do nothing until severe injury or death occurs
Sadly, that is truth. It's like they don't want to deal with the fact that people under a certain age, particularly children, can be violent to the point of scared for your life.
Doctor: You need a plan
You: I don’t have any relative and no place, what should I do?
Doctor: you need a plan
Wtf… I know that being a doctor can be taxing both mentally and physically, but wtf
The mom hub joke is funny if it’s consensual, but kinda comes off as insensitive
I fully agree, though rSlash has a habit of choosing the clickbaity thumbnails and jokey titles on some serious stories. It's not the first, and I doubt it's the last.
Exactly like rslash can pretend all he wants that he’s a good person and that cares about victims but stuff like this clearly shows that he truly doesn’t give two shits

Jesus christ, that first story. It was bad, then it got worse, and then worse
Story 2: Full-ride scholarships are not a small deal. I chose to attend the college that granted me a tuition waiver, which saved me from taking $60-80,000 in loans, because of my own achievements in school. Winning a scholarship off the back of someone else’s independent labor/work on an entire section of the “application” is not only dishonest, but meritless. It does not matter how “rare” it would be to win; at least in the US, passing off someone else’s work as your own will nuke your college career, full stop.
Facts. My finance got a near full ride based solely on an essay
Not only that, but somewhere there's a student who *actually* put in the effort and is now being robbed of an opportunity they rightfully earned do to OP's plagiarism
I'd say it depends on who actually wrote it. There are people who have various issues who have dictators who simply type for them.
If op was simply dictating what the student was writing I would say the student still deserves it but if the essay was actually written by op then yeah, no.
@@lux0rd01 op says they felt like they were writing the essay. If op was just writing what the student was dictating I dont think they'd feel like they wrote the essay
I'm a goody-two-shoes and a stickler to the rules, who never skipped class or cheated in tests and assignments during college. But still I don't think what OP did was that bad.
What makes a good essay? The idea and the presentation. The idea was wholly his, so he did at least 50% of the work. I think he'd still get the same result by asking for feedback and rewriting it, over and over again, had OP given him the chance. Or were you not allowed to ask other people's feedback for your essays?
“This is a normal mother-son relationship”
Urgh, especially after reading the update that’s horrifying, she must’ve felt so lonely and terrified trying to justify her sons behaviour.
Especially knowing of his behaviour towards other women and wanting to do this to more? Yeah, he deserves jail time. I hope OP is safe and I hope they all get therapy, because lord knows they will deffo need it.
OP, make sure you’re safe in the future, like the day your brother is free from prison don’t be surprised if he shows up and tries to hurt your family, he’ll maybe target you and your mother more so, just make sure your family has a good security system and whatever weaponry is legal in your country. It sucks to be on edge like this (as a child abuse survivor who escaped years ago, I get it, I have CCTV, close contacts, local police understand, legal weaponry for my country etc) but there may be a day he walks free and you need to be prepared. Someone as unhinged as your brother? Yeah, do everything you need to feel safe.
I feel so bad for that mom and of course OP, the dad and the other victims. I wonder if the mom thought she could protect the other girls if she just allowed that monster to hurt her. Or if she was scared of bvb that monster hurting OP or her husband. I wouldn't put it past an abuser to make all kinds of threats to keep a victim inline and he did blackmail her.
I'm just glad the truth was found out and everyone believed the victims/no one sided with the monster.
And sorry you went through that as well. I hope you stay safe!
I call bullshit on the mom...
The other son clearly saw her enjoy her time with his brother... He never mentioned her to be stressed or tensed up when the father leaves the house!
I bet she was hella enjoying that time, and just tried to save face after being caught!
Story 1: I really hope this story is fake, but unfortunately given the track record it's always the most unbelievable stories that turn out to be true. If it is OP please stop blaming yourself, your a teenager that didn't know what was happening and didn't believe your own brother would do something like that to your mom. Who would, witch is why I thought your mom was a p-word at first too. But the important thing is now you can help her heal and get Justice for your mom and get your brother out of your lives for good.
I don't know, something feels weird to me because the son thought there was something sxual going on between them, not something wrong between them.
The mom behaved all cuddly and cutesy and excited with the brother, and that's not how you behave with someone who R-d you.
I feel like it would've made more sense if the son felt there was something wrong since every time they were alone he could see the mom tensed up, or making excuses to leave, finding her crying when thinking she was alone, or having involuntary flinches whenever the brother "accidentally" touched her or behaving like someone with a trauma, not a happy girlfriend going on dates or that used every moment they got to be touchy-feely with her love.
Don't know, it just feels off. Very off.
It's horrible but I feel like the mom is the one who r-pd the son, got him into some twisted things, and since for years she's been manipulating him that much that made him take the blame for what happened.
@@ElleD308you're an American looking at it through your lens. That's all. So you can't see it more than your own bs
@@ElleD308
I mean, didnt you see how unhinged the brother was? He quite clearly threatened her to act all nice and cuddly on pain of injury or death. It was likely a way to cover up the issue between them, and it feels so obvious.
That said, its maybe possible that your interpretation COULD be right, but we have no evidence of that sadly, and it would suck if we all condemned a long term messed up victim...
@@ElleD308 Yeah, I could not put it into words but it seemed off to me as well.
I'm confused though, why were they cuddling a lot then? Why did OP only notice them being close and not notice that the mom was in any way uncomfortable? How did a teenager that easily get and install cameras that point to a bedroom door that weren't seen by anyone?
I think this story is a bit fishy if you ask me.
I relate to the last story. I had 7 siblings who used to be or are still like this and it was terrifying living with them. One time , me and 3 others used to all stay in one room with the doors locked in case one busted in to try and hurt us.
The translation of “suing” as “pressing charges” probably makes sense. In Persona 5, Shido said he would “sue” Joker for the assault at the start of the game, but it basically meant getting Joker arrested.
This is, quite possibly, the exact last place I'd expect to see a Persona 5 comment.
”Damn brat, I’ll sue!”
Also people misspeak all the time, native or not
Damn sue, I'll brat!
Pressing charges is also a weird concept for countries where criminal offences are always prosecuted by the state (as long as the police/prosecution knows about the offence)
If someone stabbed me nobody would ask me whether or not I'd like to press charges. Prosecution would start automatically.
Pray for the mom in the last story, either someone will realize that she's right, or she'll ghost him as the other Op's aunt did with her child. Either way, send prayers and well wishes.
Story 3: you don’t just “get over and grow up” over deep trauma, but OPs mum really needs to go through therapy. OP, you don’t need to feel bad, you were actually being neglected and your sister favoured purely because you’re male, you have every right to be upset. You both need therapy truth be told.
But she didn’t know she was doin that she thought she was treating both of the same.
@@ifoundhisjams4075 Parents can have the best intentions and still screw up their kids unwittingly. I'll give an example: a 13 year old has to stop their mother from attempting, while their father sits on the couch watching TV, not even realising the mother is struggling. Those parents love their kid immensely. But they weren't in therapy, didn't know they needed help, and gave the kid issues that he's still working through as an adult. Even in less devastating circumstances, parents can give their kid issues. Parents are people too, they still make mistakes. What's important is having a willingness to learn from and work on them, and in the scenario in the post, recognise that they're something that needs working on instead of hoping it'll go away
Story 5: EQ is very important, as people without it can be prone to harming others. That guy needs prison, a psychiatric facility, SOMETHING to isolate him from everybody before he ends up on the news.
What's eq?
@@JamilKhan-xu9fo Emotional Intelligence. Basically, emotion control, empathy, and having consideration for other people.
@@JamilKhan-xu9fo Emotional Quotient, better known as emotional intelligence, is "defined as the ability to perceive, use, understand, manage, and handle emotions" according to Wikipedia.
He hasn't done anything to require prison but he does need to be in a psychiatric facility. Brain development is such a mystery. The parents might not realized they missed something earl on, or it happened during fetal development.
You can't throw someone in prison if they haven't committed a crime. You can't lock someone away without serious evidence that they are psychotic. Like it or not, even crazy people have rights.
Story 1:"I hope they were doing drugs" had me rolling on the floor lmao😂😂😂😂😂
a horrific thing about that last story is that i could visualize a cousin of mine in that scenario because with the exception of the s*****e, it described her to a tee.
Third story: something doesn't checks out there. She hates man so much that she neglects her own son, but she does have two kids? Kinda need a man for that. If op and his sister were a product of abuse I think op would have mentioned that.
I think the mom took the easy way out there.
She used her "trauma" as an excuse to be a bad parent for 17 years and, even after being confronted about it by her own son, she still attempts to evade accountability
I hope OP gets therapy himself and goes no contact once he's out of the house.
@@ancientsociety79 I think putting trauma in quotation there is a bit much. I'm sure there is a lot of trauma on her part, but the total excuse she presents it, it is not.
Yea that's just weird
@@ancientsociety79I’m confused his only complaint was she was more partial to his sister, faster to give her compliments and hugs. This doesn’t mean he grew up without affection, she loved him and tried her best. I’m so confused on how this is neglect?
@@ifoundhisjams4075 It's not. It's just the idea that male children deserve to be treated as the Golden Child and he... wasn't.
Story 4: It makes you wonder why he proposed anyway if he was cheating. What could OP have that he wants so much?
It’s most likely so he would have a woman to go back to just in case his affair partner dumps him or when he looses interest
Stability. A person to go back to. Maybe she pays for everything or never says no to him. Anything he can take advantage of.
B/C cheaters like the "Chase" the feeling of going after someone and the feeling of getting caught. What's the point of dating one person? I can date and be with this person and they'll always be there when I come home, but can have all these other people on the side just for the fun of it!
You know, If RSlash ever way to college, I wonder if he ever tried to plagiarized to get a scholarship given how so tone deaf he is towards plagiarism in College Scholarships.
Like, RSlash is the literal type of person who will call someone being upset that they were plagiarized “overreacting” and tell them not to ruin someone’s scholarship,
Rslash has mentioned getting a degree in English so he did go to a college or University so he should know that plagiarism is a serious problem. I don't understand why he is brushing it off like its meaningless.
And with your second sentence, yes Rslash is that type of person. There was a story he read whereas OP snitched on her friend for plagiarising OP's work to get a scholarship. Rslash basically said OP overreacted and is a terrible person.
@@YourPal1 yeaah, maybe that college should relook at his essays for any plagiarism lol
I do not understand his casual attitude to cheating for a scholarship!
I remember the other story too.
Even if it's not a physical object, it's still theft!
The essay is a much bigger part of obtaining a scholarship than Rslash seems to think... a very large amount of scholarships are based on essays and hearing Rslash say that was a bit odd. Though I guess it would be expected after he brushed off plagiarism to get college scholarships as "not a big deal" in a prior story.
Kind of hope he is teaching his daughter to be better than him as I'm beginning to question his moral compass. Not saying he is a bad father but he just said he has no problem ignoring rules he doesn't agree with
@@JCPunch94we can only hope… but I have my doubts
College fees are a GD scam. The OP should feel zero guilt helping someone game the system. Fuck colleges and their predatory pricing.
@@JCPunch94hey I can do that too
I think it depends on the country and context. I had to write an essay when applying for university, but was flatout told by my tutors that no one actually reads them and it's more of a box ticking exercise. They even gave me a bunch of examples and told me to just replace the wording with the hobbies and subjects relevant to me. So, yeah, depending on where you are, essays might be just a pointless exercise that has practically no impact on your application
Ok that first story went a WAY different way than i thought. Jesus. Thats awful. I feel so bad for the mom
It’s terrifying to think you have a sociopath as a child. What do you do? You keep warning everyone that he’s capable of murder, of anything terrible known to man and he won’t care or gets some joy out of it. That even though you’re family, that won’t save you from their wrath and actually make you the first target of many.
You do whatever you have to do to keep the world safe from them. Even if it means doing something illegal.
I have to say, if you have a deep hatred for either gender, no matter which, don’t have kids.
and i don't get how she got pregnant in the first place, were they born after she was r*ped? drunk? holy spirit? if she hates men that much how come she was with a men and got pregnant.
Agreed
Yea it's just weird. Like, why would people like that do that
@@bigjalapeno7061because people always want what they want and just don't care if they hurt others or not.
@@mandalorianhunter1 Not everyone but yea you're right
Story 2: a person having a scholarship means another doesn't have it, in my opinion this depends on how much you truly did, because if it was writing his thoughts I don't see much of a problem, if you wrote everything that is different, he might have won the scholarship anyways, this depends on the number of seats, in short, there are too many unknown variables in the story to truly judge it.
I think it's oretty cut and dry, regardless of "how much" help OP gave, they gave enough for it to be plagiarism, which means that this kid fraudulently obtained a scholarship that should have gone to someone who actually earned it
That twist in the first story genuinely made made stomach drop in a way nothing on this channel has ever hit me before. My god that is fucked up
Last story: I relate to the last story a lot. My brother wasn't a sociopath, or a psychopath. He had remorse, but he was uber violent and had poor impulse and emotional control. I was 6 when he started abusing me. He was 11. He was just doing to me what was fone to him by a family friend. He was taking his pain out on me. He died when I was 13. He killed 3 peoole and was shot by police after taking some people hostage.
Now I'm an adult. I just turned 41. My stepson lived with his dad for the first 9 years of his life in another state. They abused him. We got custody around age 10. We've been dealing with his suicidal/homicidal ideation a lot the last few years. He's made some legit suicide attempts. The doctors don't take his homicidal threats seriously and sometimes I don't either. Hes a good kid. Not violent or doing any drugs. But he's the age my brother was when he did what he did. I have to take him seriously even if we sometimes think he threatens us out of insecurity.
I actually feel so horrible for Op's mom.. What Op's brother did is the MOST UNFORGIVABLE thing any human being can do!! I cant- even imagine what the mom must have went through... To be touched in the most inappropriate way by your own child.. no... i just.. no...
Story 3: OP is not making his mother's trauma about him, his mother was letting her trauma affect her relationship with her son. It's horrible that she went through that and I hope her family is burning in hell for what they did to her BUT she needs to address that trauma with a professional because not addressing it created a rift between her and her child. It's not something that will go away and it's not something that will just get better on it's own. Dealing with my own trauma has been difficult and painful at some points but it's allowed me to move on with my life in a more healthy way and be happier. I can't stress enough the importance of therapy in these situations, not just for your sake but for the sake of people in your life that you care about.
Remember: Mental health is not your fault but it is your responsibility.
That's pretty sad
"I cheated for this kid by doing his essay for him. I can't help feeling that what I did was unethical." 🤦🏻♀️
Dabney essays are a big part of how scholarships are one. I speak from experience because that essay was how I won my scholarship. I honestly hope that you’re not saying that because you feel your English degree wasn’t worth it. Then again I remember in a previous video you said plagiarism is no big deal. I just hope you realize essays are a big part of scholarships.
Are you doing ok Dabney? There's been something different the past few videos I can't put my finger on but it's an angry energy, I hope all is well in your life! Sending good vibes to you and your family!
I think he realized his name was Dabney
He’s named dabney so…
Idk if its just me, but it seems the community has also completely shifted to having this "redditor" mindset where they take a mostly logical approach to these situations instead of thinking about the nuance or recognizing that everyone in these stories are human. A lot of people also sound like they're just here putting up with Dabney instead of actually enjoying him. Coming up with anything they can to paint him as some terrible person because he has biases and a different moral compass (like a human).
Idk, found this channel over a year or 2 ago and been enjoying his little stories and different perspective. One of the most human reddit story speakers out there. The community has shifted from "disagree but understand" to "disagreed and i cant see how you can come to that conclusion you filthy insensitive piece of garbage. You arent as good as you think" which is SO weird to me.
This all started happening when people were telling him to go on vacation because "his takes are so off", and i guess when he came back he remained the same which got people angrier.
All this to say, i think his vibe is all the same. If it were a lil different tho, my money would be on the comments.
@@ninjdraw8305I agree with you for the most part but no, I agree with them too. His takes ARE different now. I tend to listen to Mark Narrations now as I prefer him, it helps he’s also British which is nice for me, but I’ve been listening to Rslash for maybe 4-5 years? I don’t know how long he’s been doing this but it was definitely before Covid that I started listening. He changed a bit, got more passionate, after his daughter was born (good for him, I’m glad he’s happy and being a good father). Then he slowly got different. Eventually the vacation thing happened but… not much difference. I think there’s a lot of pressure on him, but that doesn’t mean his takes aren’t different.
@@Frostfern94 thats true. agreed on changing as in becoming more passionate, that part is absolutely true, but my main problem is this idea that his opinions have changed for the worse.
People went from saying they disagreed to saying hes wrong which, i get from a surface level is a real minuscule detail, but just cemented this idea that his perspective cant be trusted unless its something the person personally agrees with.
Again, agreed on the takes thing i think i worded it all wrong, i just dont think his takes got worse and that he, as a human being, is a bad person which i see a lot more often nowadays then i did like a year or 2 ago. I just think he grew aa a person and changed.
Story 2: It doesn't matter how small a part OP played in him winning the scholarship, it's still academic dishonesty and is not okay by any means no matter the reason. If Op had simply written what was dictated as some people with disabilities can do, then that's one thing, but OP say that it felt like they were writing the essay themselves which is not okay. If you say that the essay only played a small part then if OP hadn't written the essay, do you think he would have gotten the scholarship anyway? Fact is that they both cheated and essentially stole the scholarship. It sucks but that's the truth.
My son and I have a daily ritual of listening to Rslash every morning to kick start our day. It is my favorite time of the day. My son has been in and out of behavioral hospitals. He has struggled with suicidal ideations for a long time. Unfortunately when he hears about suicide it can affect him in a serious way. I’m sure it affects others in similar situations. Could you possibly give a warning right before stories about suicide?
S1) That son is the most villest of vile.
S2) His own effort, work, dedication plus the essay is what sealed the deal.
S3) She should have been in therapy the moment you were born. She abused you your whole life for something you had no part in. Disgusting.
S4) It's not you OP. He chose to throw your relationship away. He chose to cheat. He chose to show the world that he couldn't and wouldn't be faithful. You believed it. Bullet dodged and thank the person who pointed her out.
S5) OP's not abandoning this monster. She's trying to ensure the safety of herself and her youngest children. If OP has anything in writting or recorded where he made these threats she needs to get them in the hands of her lawyer. She needs to get an PO box and have her new address unlisted. She needs to get a protection order, restraining order and no contact order. This isn't about this thing pretending to be a child. This is a monster that OP needs to ensure isn't welcomed back into a home where the endangerment of herself and children are high. F anyone telling her to let that monster in and they can stuff that with firey hot pokers where the sun don't shine. Deleting all social media and ensuring your children aren't shown online via school bulletin's are also the way forward. Block all locations and shared locations via google maps. Also make schools, daycares, babysitters and anyone else aware that if they see him to never tell him where to find you and to call the police. Camera's everywhere and on everything. Safety words and meet up locations.
Abuse?! I’m confused on story 3 how was he abused, the only thing he said about the mother was she was more partial to the sister, faster to give her compliments and hugs. That was his only complaint, that she liked the sister more. How is that abuse when he was still given affection, food and emotional support. From there whole interaction after you can tell she had no clue, she was treating them differently.
@@ifoundhisjams4075 neglect is a form of abuse. OP's mum basically neglected him because he was a boy. Sure, it could be unintentional but still neglect.
U r a good youtuber! U help me stay focused in my eye breaks!
First story; there’s actually a movie about this called “The strange thing about the Johnsons” made by Ari Aster (Midsommar, Hereditary) but it’s about a son doing it to his father
It’s wild, to say the least
posted perfectly as i was scrolling through all your vids trying to find one i haven’t watched 😭
the title is wild. I look forward to this episode
Not sure about the parent in the scary kid story. While there are rare cases where a child is actually born and not raised like that, whenever a parent disparages their child like that, I start to become skeptical
It's either completely made up or the parent is abusing the child and wants to make the kid out to be the aggressor if he snaps.
For the first story, all we have to go off of is mom's word and pictures that may or may not be consensual? I think there needs to be an investigation into this because evidence pointing to the brother as the abuser is circumstantial at best
I personally think mom had a more active role in their relationship, and when it was discovered she panicked and pinned the blame
That last story sounds like “we need to talk about Kevin”. I can’t imagine how terrified the mum must be.
Yeah, in my language pressing charges and sue are basically the same verb so I understood the story very well before RSlash pointed this out.
I think to sue is used if its about money/getting money, but i am from germany so suing and to press charges is also the same for me xD
Suing actually makes sense...
You sue in civil court, but press charges in criminal court.
Basivslly... Criminal means they go to jail and are prosecuted by whatever state; whereas suing means monetary compensation for wrong actions or death.
So... I don't know particulars of where they are, but if there isn't enough hard proof evidence (or even if there is) then they can sue for emotional damages.
For those curious, this would not put it on his record like a rape conviction but is meant to help the wronged parties if they need medical expenses, therapy, etc.
A famous example is O.J. Simpson. He was Not convicted of murder in criminal court but was tried in civil court for "wrongful death" where he lost and had to pay the victim's family.
@@sadpotato3386 I am just saying that in some languages there are no two words for sue and press charges. It's just sue for everything. In my language we don't have press charges as a term at all. You just sue somebody. Then the court may sue them. It's the same word.
@e.vasileva5891 Yeah, I just wanted to be clear that it's possible to get monetary compensation depending on where you live.
That last story really hit home for me. As someone who was in and out of inpatient programs for years on end, (I think my record is 7 times in 1 year) I can say for sure that they really don't do much of anything and can often make it worse. I have a total of 6 different mental disorders, (ADHD, Mood disorder, Tic disorder, Bipolar disorder, OCD, and Autism) and for years my bipolar disorder was undiagnosed, and therefor untreated, because though my parents both knew I had Bipolar for years, no doctor, psychiatrist, or anyone would diagnose me, because they all said that Bipolar always swung to one extreme, stayed there for a fair while, swung to the other extreme, stayed there for a while, then swung back, whereas I was swinging about every week or so. And lo and behold, when one doctor finally diagnosed me with Bipolar and got me properly medicated, I went from being a not great, but not terrible person, who had huge fits of violence, to a genuinely great person who everyone around me loves within a few weeks. So, hearing about someone like that breaks my heart.
With the first story, as soon as I heard the title, I was like "Eeww, Oedipus complex much?" XD
So the 16yr old psycho reminds me of a similar situation I found during college.
A young boy who is easily a genius but uses that for evil, nearly killed his infant sister. The father saved the infant but the mom beat the 16yr old to barely having a pulse. Now I'm not 100% sure on this but after the beating, the boy changed and became a somewhat more productive member of society. Brain damage may have been a factor but without my notes I can't fully explain everything.
Not sure what happened to the rest of the family after.
Where the first story went I don’t think “mom hub” in the thumbnail is appropriate. I mean blackmail based on pictures kind of makes it inappropriate
In the 'woman reflection story' I think the friend had a suspicion, but didn't want to stir up drama if they were wrong.
It’s not the first time I’ve heard of these groups refusing to do anything to protect a family from a sociopathic child no matter how often the parents beg for them to be kept away. They only do anything after someone’s been murdered
In the scary kid story from the moment about almost killing his infant brother at 4 years old, I thought to myself, so he's like Dexter and yep sociopath
Twins story “I felt awful that I made her trauma all about me” no.. she made op part of her trauma, in turn causing trauma to him. She’s been “trying” to get over it for the sake of her child for close to 2 decades? She should have been in therapy a hell of a lot earlier than now, probably even before she started despising her own child. It got to the part where she’s like “I neglect you because of my bad childhood” and I said “OKAY?” like come on now that’s such a shit reason. She was able to get over it enough to assumedly have sex with a man (maybe even marry him) and have children but then hates her own flesh and blood that she birthed? Ngl I have sympathy for what she went through, but no sympathy for her once she started using it as an excuse to abuse her child.
I feel this: my mother was abused, she was put into foster care and adopted by a really good family. She CONSTANTLY used this as an excuse for the way she abused me whilst favouring my brother, and like it’s not an excuse, all you do is pass on generational trauma. I’ve been no contact since my 20s, even when escaping at 18 the abuse never stopped it just changed. Some parents are just unwilling to better themselves even tho in turn it would better their own child’s life.
I’m confused she doesn’t hate him tho, she thought she was treating them both the same. She loves him and she tried not to show her trauma, also OP is 17 he’s still a kid. Raising children literally takes up most of ur life. It truly would be hard to get it whilst raising them. She seemed to try her best to show her love for her kid. I don’t understand how that’s neglect when he was given affection, given food, given a home. She made sure the kid was taken care of, to the point his only complaints were his sister got more hugs and compliments. I thought neglect was when the parents ignored the children?
@@ifoundhisjams4075 idk what to say other than reread the story. And it doesn’t matter what she thought she was doing, she was doing it. It was affecting op negatively and that’s what’s more important than what the mother thought she was doing, if she even thought that. She tells her son she’s been trying to get over it which means her actions aren’t entirely subconscious and that she had some idea of what she had been doing. “Raising kids is hard” sure, but it’s not an excuse to neglect or abuse a child in any way ever.
@@jellyriq bruh I’ve re listened like 3x now cuz I’m so confused in how y’all got all this neglect and abuse from “ she’s more partial to giving compliments and hugs to my sister” meaning he still knows he’s loved and is given affection maybe not as much as his sister, but he knows his mother loves him. He just wanted to know why tho? And she told him. Y’all act like good therapy is so easy to come by on ur own but again add raising children and taken care of a household to the mix and u can see how hard that shit is. And I’m sure he knows this to hence him being so forgiven, he knows his mother loves him, she knows she loves him and has tried her hardest to the best of her abilities to show that. I’m not seeing how this is abuse or neglect, when he is well taken cared of.
@@ifoundhisjams4075 alright let me put it like this: a persons intentions don’t matter when it hurts somebody/something else. And okay, let’s say her actions weren’t intentional, she still subconsciously favored one child over the other enough to the point that the one had to ask why. That is not good. It’s especially not good in a parent/child relationship. If the op feels neglected and less loved, there’s probably a reason for that. Even if it’s a subconscious thing in the mother’s part (which it doesn’t fully seem like it is let’s be real), it’s still a neglect. It’s still emotional abuse. And cut it out with the “good therapy” bs, how about trying to start with any therapy? At the point you feel yourself despising your own child based on their genitalia, SEEK ANY AND ALL HELP. Give it a 4th or 5th try or maybe confront something in yourself or your past or current life and ask yourself why you see this as okay. What ops mom did is not and can not be okay. She caused real hurt that could and probably will irreversibly damage their relationship forever.
great thing to wake up to. talk you, rslash
Oh boy oh boy, another entry to the Hub series on this channel! What is this, number 6?
The other ones I can remember are Familyhub, Mydad (mom?) and...StepBro?
The last story is the story of my cousin. I love him so much, we were adopted at the same time from different families. His whole life he struggled with addiction, violent tendencies, anger, etc. My aunt and uncle have struggled because they've tried everything - medication, therapy, so on. He's been in and out of prison. There's nothing we can do. There's no safe place for him because they're afraid to have him at home and he doesn't want to be there because he's afraid of hurting them. Either he re-offends and goes to prison where they at least give him meds but he risks being SA'd and beaten (it's happened before) or to the streets where it's obviously not better. The system is BROKEN.
I have to say I disagree about story 2, the tutoring story. What the tutor did was wrong, and the essay they wrote for the student absolutely could’ve made the difference! Most people applying for a scholarship like that probably have good grades and extracurriculars. Really, the essay is how you set yourself apart and win over the deciders. Especially for college-related scholarships, they want to make sure that their money isn’t going to be wasted so the quality of the essay can also be used to get an idea of your likelihood of success in school. High quality writing is a skill that they often look for bc it points to either innate talent or the perseverance to build/improve a difficult skill. Submitting an essay that someone else wrote for you displays neither of those things and points to poor academic integrity, which is something that colleges hate. If this were an assignment for a grade then maybe I’d give more grace, but this is for a scholarship competition! Him winning it takes that opportunity away from another kid who actually did the work to write their own essay.
Boohoo
"I've been meaning to go to therapy." For 17 years?! She's trying to say that she has had that many years at least to get herself into therapy but she never got around to it? Huh? Even though she probably knew that it was affecting the relationship she had with her son? What? Inexcusable.
As a non-native English speaker I also was not aware of the difference between sueing and pressing charges and just looked it up and wow learned something new today. I thought they were synomys. (In my native language German the difference exists too but only in prefixes which can get tropped collequial speech (to press charges ~ *an*klagen, to sue ~ *ver*klagen) so I guess I also learned a little bit about my own language today.)
Any way I hope the brother will be imprisioned for a very long time (decades). First I thought ok an inapprioate mother son relationship but I did not see this rape twist coming.
Twins Story:
OP I'm unsure if you can read this, but you're not alone. This was very similar to my irl situation. Difference being exchange SA in childhood to SA in the late teens to mid twenties and add a stillbirth.
I am the oldest living sibling from my genetic family. Throughout my mother's post-divorce life, I was her emotional rock. My sister was loved and cherished as if she was the golden child, my brother was treated as the baby (outside of being the youngest) and "reacted" the worst of us three despite having the least amount of harm fall on him directly. My mom used various "feminist" cultural items and songs to help her work through her abuse and divorce.
Here is the problem: I was a child throughout this entire period. I was the "ideal male child" in my mom's eyes who would frequently go on tangents about how all men are rapists, racists (she married an Arab man, would make fun of me for my Arab features until I stopped seeing her in person), and the biggest violent plague on our society blah blah. She would end these tangents with "but you're different." Well, the siblings and I are fractured, do not talk often, haven't had a single holiday together since Yule 00' and NYE of 01'. I haven't seen my sister in person for over 10 years, and my brother in over four years. I'm now a mtf single full time mother whose working my shit workout repeating what my mom did and even recently divorced from a physically abusive ex-spouse Trauma dumping and "no one asked" aside, this is the point:
It doesn't matter if you're 9, 19, or 59. You're her child, her burdens are not your own and never your own to work through. You did not ask to be born from a mother whose entire life up to the point of leaving that home was a waking constant nightmare. This was never your fault. You have nothing to apologize for. She is hurting and needs help, but she has no right to take it out on you. Consciously or unconsciously, she made those decisions and didn't communicate with you sooner and in a much more healthier way. This isn't your fault.
Can’t wake up without this!
Story 1: Please be a step mom, please be a step mom
Edit:
It was so much fucking worse oh god
That last story, there is definitely things you can do as a parent to prevent behavior like this. It won't always solve the issue but parenting is almost always a factor. I feel for the mom and her other kids but I also feel for the son. Especially if it is a mental disorder it's not like he was born thinking about how to ruin peoples lives. And it's so so frustrating that the system continues to fail in situations like this. I couldn't imagine abandoning a child though. I've had a similar situation with my younger brother. He would act very inappropriate towards me and some other kids as well. He also has threatened me with violence and even chased me with a knife. He's living with his dad now (I was living at home with my gma, son, and four other brothers at the time but now live on my own) and he just keeps getting worse. (His dad isn't any better). But I know he wasn't always like this and he suffered major trauma from a young age. I can't help but feel if he got help sooner or didn't go through half the things he did, he wouldn't be in the same spot. Even after what he's done to me I still feel like I'm the only one who wants him to get better.
Story 4: I kind of want to know more about the reflection. Could it have been the TV, hotel art, or something resembling a woman? It must have been faint if OP missed it the first time seeing the photo.
Could it have been a coworker he was sharing a room with? Could it have been a family member he hasn't seen in years that lived in that town and came by to visit? I'm mean yeah it looks bad and it probably is bad but with the complete lack of contact, she will never know for sure.
@wingracer1614 It's like another story where the BF was disappearing every weekend, saying he was working. A coworker of BF tells OP they rarely work weekends. It looked like he was cheating. It ended up that he was working a homeless shelter and was embarrassed by it.
story 4: wtf? do people just instanly assume youre cheating when youre in the same room with a woman? you might as well ask him wtf
I had this same thought. If he was cheating, he's living scum, but we have basically nothing. Because of how widespread cheating is now, anytime anyone is slightly suspicious, it's cheating.

Man this episode was a real bummer. I still appreciate all the hard work though Rslash!
I had a similar story to the second one but when he won the scholarship he thanked me because well; he knew. I knew and I still sometimes hold it over him jokingly. Family helps family.
Love your stuff Rslash! I have been watching you for years now, so I hope that this little bit of criticism won't come off as mean, but the title and thumbnail is a little messed up with the context of the video, don't you think? The mental expectation for something naughty and pornographic kinda takes away from the seriousness of being a victim a little.
I feel so bad for the entire family from the first story (except the brother, obviously) and especially the mom :(
I kinda got that second story. I'm a writing tutor myself (except I work with college students) and we want them to succeed, to do things on their own with only a guiding hand. I, too, have felt I gave too much help to a student, but sometimes more than normal is necessary. I don't know how much more OP gave, but there isn’t much that can be done once the kid turns it in.
I also get the further concern that if he turned it in and OP did most of the work, the school is going to expect the kid to be on the same level as the person who wrote the paper. If all he gave was the idea and didn’t write most of it in his own words, then he most likely wouldn't be able to write a paper like that one again. That concern is very valid but, again, you can't really do anything. I just hope he did more work than OP makes it sound.
Your reflection in the second story isnt shocking since you made a video a year or so ago about someone who lent their essay to a friend for a reference to help with their enterence essay and then that friend instead just handed in OP's paper like it was their own and got a full scholarship from it but OP found out and exposed the friend and the friend had to drop the scholarship duento academic fraud and you were like "who hasn't cheated before? We all remember cheating once in math classnin year 5 from a friend". Glad you really didnt pursue education with that english degree you have if this is your mentality.
My issue with the essay story is that someone else got denied the scholarship that likely was more deserving.
THIS. It wasn’t just that she helped him get some nebulous scholarship. Someone else who may have deserved it more DIDN’T get it because of her interference.
Exactly. It’s definitely unethical and should not be brushed off
Note:) This was kind of written in a rush, so my opinions might change as I think more about the stories.
Story 1:) Op doesn't need to feel bad about this. He was the one that revealed this mess to the family, and ultimately saved his mom (at least from what I saw).
Story 2:) I would probably keep this to myself either way, but, in a moral sense, I guess it depends on how the paper was written. Op could've just put the student's ideas to paper (student couldn't put his thoughts into words), or flat out written it for him. Either way, he got the scholarship, he decides how he uses it.
Story 3:) Honestly mixed on this one. I feel bad for the mother, but I do not completely agree that she was doing whatever she could to cope. Since nothing negative was said about him, I assume she had a decent relationship with the father. I can understand her being more uncomfortable now, with a teenage, older looking, son, but how did she feel so uncomfortable around him as a child? She's biased (with a good reason tbh).
Story 4:) The ex is an idiot for not checking the picture before posting/sending it. That friend/commenter is great, lol.
Story 5:) Kid needs to be set straight NOW. I know op is trying, but she needs to find a way to send him off (facility so something else), or get herself and her other kids the hell out of there, even with potential charges.
For the second story: as someone who prides themselves on ethics, I believe it will even out if need be. Like Rslash said, this kid got an insane scholarship because of his overall deserving performance. And if he really is that bad at writing, he probably chose a path that won’t require writing, and I personally think it’s okay to get to where you need if it won’t come back in the future. If it does, then it will either bite him and cause him to lose the scholarship and even the scale, or he can take the second chance and better himself at writing skills to pay back his debt.
Hope everyone has a good weekend.
Yeah, that definetly happened on the first story, lmao. That's such a fantasy-story.
Pretty sure op was not lying, if they where then the sub would take down the post.
@@Tonsils-micman Yeah like reddit has fact checkers on standby 24/7 that can easily check every single post with complete accuracy
@@wingracer1614 the sub reddit does.
@@Tonsils-micman BS
@@wingracer1614 ok don't believe me.
On that last one? Ghost em, getoutgetoutgetoutgetout! That kid is a damn nuke waiting to go off in the house......
Quite possible. Or he may be lashing out from the years of abuse he has been put through now that he's finally old and big enough to do something about it. Who knows?
The OP of the 3rd story shouldn't be apologising for lashing out.
His mom regardless of trauma neglected him and didn't seek out therapy, those were just excuses.
If the OPs mom really had this trauma towards a entire gender, then why did she keep her male child when it would obviously hurt her?
Like put the kid up for adoption so he could have parents who actually loved him for who he is and not a half arsed parent who hwted him because of his gender and neglect him for his entire life.
And in the end the OP makes himself out to be the villain and needs to setp up...
He doesn't, she needed too and hopefully she does because what she did is disgusting regardless.
Rslash’s repeated downplaying of the harm/seriousness of plagiarism always makes me suspicious.
I mean, his entire channel, like all Reddit reading channels, is built on repeating other people's work, so it makes sense that this is a sensitive spot for him.
r/slash, I think you whiffed on the scholarship story. For most competitive scholarships, the essay is a major factor. And it is, indeed, competitive, OP cheated someone else out who deserved it on their own. Majorly unethical. If they’re caught, they can be prosecuted for fraud and the friend will be expelled. This is, indeed, a big deal.
Hard agree. I don’t see how other people can just dismiss plagiarism. My little sister won a full ride scholarship based on her grades, admission essay, and interview. The essay was the biggest factor because it determined who would move on to the interview phase.
My notification never went off and it didn't appear in my timeline for my subscriptions I had to type it in to find you on the search bar
Actually the term suing my brother makes perfect sense because in some countries you don't press charges on somebody who does stuff like this, you sue them in court.
Good old rSlash. Making fun of a rape victim via the thumbnail and then acting as if plagiarism is okay. The only thing we need now is a BetterHelp or gambling ad!
Absolutely love how the first story is one of a woman getting sexually assaulted multiple times and threatened and Ralash thinks it's a fun idea to make a joke out of it with the thumbnail
first story makes me need a bottle of pinot grigio 🙃 🍷
I need to shower after that first story. I felt filthy (and not in a good way) just listening to it.
