【Apple】My father-in-law behaves like he runs the world. But we won’t put up with it anymore!

[@Mrstigger747]

I had a father like this. I went No Contact and never regretted it. His alcoholism was just too much and I needed to get away! I can’t stand the way he treated my stepmother, he was vile.

[@Carizma101]

I completely agree with you. My grandfather became an alcoholic (unfortunately because of PTSD after the WWII) he kicked my grandmother (on my mothers side) in the stomach when she was pregnant with my youngest uncle when they were married. When they divorced, both my grandmother and my mom and her brother went no contact with him

[@margaretditcham2452]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@PABrightlyColoredCutie]

Wow, Mrs. Tigger, I'm sorry your childhood was seriously affected by alcoholism. I know how that can ruin people's childhoods. Glad you went no contact though, for your own peace of mind! Congrats on having the personal fortitude to do that. I know it's not easy. 😢😢😢

[@corinnefogarty7880]

You can't "win" with a dedicated alcoholic. I cut my sister off a few years ago. She was lying to me about what was going on with her family relationships - everyone else was at fault, it wasn't her ... Woman was really good at lying.

[@mariterrones3716]

Children need love, attention, to be taught and most of all encouragement to be who they are. They should never be pushed to do whatever someone else decides what they should do despite what the child wants.

[@Native-Kitty]

Frank has no desire to change because he’s set in his ways. Everyone has their own rock bottom and even with his divorce and being alone, Frank hasn’t hit his yet.

[@EarlBaldbear]

This is one of the better stories. The evil father-in-law has to face the consequences of his actions, but there aren't any magical moments like, "Surprise! My husband/my father/I just fired you!"

[@tricorvus2673]

“(Grrrr) how can you talk to your [relative or pretended relative] like that?!” Quite easily, you have no authority over me.

[@leeannsampson6050]

Goodnight from here in Tennessee Everyone! 👋

[@amethystanne4586]

Good morning from a tiny town near Mammoth Cave, KY!

[@leslieking6259]

Good evening from K-town.

[@amethystanne4586]

This Frank reminds me of our 8th grade history class. She would get aggravated with the talkative kids and say the phrase, “Alright gang, you’ve done it again.” I’d roll my eyes, tune out, and stare out the window. I would be silently angry because I made a point of not talking and not answering questions she would pose to the class. On particularly talkative days, she would keep the class afterschool, and then dismiss students individually. I’d always be dismissed almost at the end, despite not talking. Miss Atkinson, I am most definitely talking about you.

[@kessiawright1710]

That's a great way for a kid to end up hating the sport.

[@dymonddavis7847]

Frank needs a reality check because nobody wants to deal with him anymore.

[@liznemeskery4321]

Unless pain and suffering are involved, stay out of this Frank. And P.S. Frank, not always do our dreams come true. And good morning from Western New York. Have a good day everyone.

[@sharongreen4407]

Mr man , donot let fil tell you how to raise your child, keep him out if the house

[@judyjohnson9610]

Well, that brought back some memories. But I got a good laugh at the end when he was working in the hardware store.

[@journijones3253]

That's what Frank gets for being the way he is.

[@leslieking6259]

My EX-husband's father was just like Frank. He ruled his family with an iron fist. At least until the kids got old enough to move out. Then his wife divorced his butt. Once, he came to our house and showed his butt because no one was catering to his every whim. I told him we were not going to do that because we didnt have to. And, if he couldn't show some respect, he could leave. The look on his face was priceless. He pouted but we didn't budge. Faced with no other choice, he started acting better. Not great but better.

[@MapleFanAhSa]

Yay more apple text

[@sharongreen4407]

He sounds like a drinker,and a braggart and too much damn time on his hands, A person like that, needs to be kept far away

[@deborahkizer4664]

Mind your business Grandpa.

[@deborahkizer4664]

What Lol I'm done

[@georgiann6412]

If he joined AA, and agreed to counseling and actively working on himself he might get better, the son in law is a saint with his patience.

[@cheryltomlin6761]

Very long story. But here I am intrigued and invested. 😂❤👍

[@lindahill7315]

Good morning, everyone

[@kathystanton9906]

This one goes on and on. Way to long over same conversation

[@equalheatiscool9267]

I grew up as an only child and I don’t regret it.

[@MsWill813]

Softball is more important than math?

[@marjan6008]

Why are the video’s so long? Please make them 20 minutes again

[@judyjohnson9610]

At least it was a good story. But I am with you on it being long. I watch these when I want to take a little break and 20 minutes is good for me.

[@timemerson4162]

I think if they want to do 1 hour + videos they should voice more than just 2 characters, otherwise it's all good.

[@Not_brainwashed]

👍🏼

[@thecajunphoenix]

Your son-in-law Neil and your daughter Hayley have every right to banish you from their daughter Kirsten's life for your bad behavior, Frank. Neil is a better husband for Hayley than you ever were for your wife Pat. Like Tyrion Lannister said to Janos Slynt right before banishing him to The Night's Watch for murdering all of the late Robert Baratheon's natural-born children who couldn't get away and for the illegal beheading of Ned Stark, you will take everything Neil and Hayley give you without complaint. Kirsten should not be forced to play softball when she's only going to be berated by you, and it's good that your drinking got you fired from your position as softball coach. And, no, Neil and Hayley will not try to make Pat reconcile with your drunk and abusive AH self. If anything, you're only sorry that you've been fired and are getting divorced.

[@roccosmum6109]

My god. 18!mins in and so boring. Same conversation over and over.

[@keeperofoddknowledgesociet3264]

Who write these stories. They are terrible. Kirsten is in 6th grade. In the us 6th grade is middle school!!!!! And that is just one of the errors in the story not to mention other stories. Gee. Their ai is pathetic.

[@timemerson4162]

There's still some districts here in KY where 6th grade is still a part of Elementary school.

[@DPSGames]

Where I live in the US, 6th grade is still part of elementary school. Maybe it isn't like that everywhere, but some places have elementary start at 3rd grade and end at 6th

[@victoriaholt2274]

🤔You do realize you don't have to listen to these stories right? 😅

[@isabellaoconnor16]

Where I live 6th grade was moved up from elementary to middle school.

[@DPSGames]

@@isabellaoconnor16 interesting. Thanks for letting us know. I genuinely didn't know that

[@lilystrong9185]

Waaaaaaaaayyyyyyy! Too long it would've been so much better if it was 30 minutes or less. Two people who over talk the same points, over and over and over again for over an hour. Just listen to the first 5 minutes and get to the last couple of minutes of the Aftermath. The middle is boring.
