I’m 5’10” 185 pounds and was physically abused by a crazy ex that was half my size for two years. It got to a point where I was afraid to go to sleep thinking she would cut my throat in the middle of the night. The last straw was when she slapped me ( as she often did just because ) and I told her that I’m going to call the police. To which she responded “go ahead, who do you think they’ll believe? A big man like you or the scared little woman I’ll make sure they see”. I left that night and never looked back. But it occurred to me that men suffer at the hands of abusive woman just as much as women through men, but the stigma of being a “pussy” as well as the abuser knowing every angle to make them look like the victim, is what keeps men from ever reporting it.

[@Rinsuki]

Yes. I don't think people realize that this occurs all too often. It is just not right. I am sorry this happened to you.

[@Weswood956]

Big facts my man. There really should be more awareness about these situations. It’s a legal nightmare trying to fight these sort of allegations. The more “manly” your past and present are the more ammo women like that have. I got medically retired from the army for PTSD had an ex call the cops saying she was scared of me because I was being wild and violent towards her she was banging on things screaming and crying for me to “stop” when I was literally on the other side of the house… LOCKED inside a room…on the phone with my brother. I’ve struggled with my past and a decade of therapy with those struggles at the time. I had been violent in self defense and also in a blackout state which was ONLY achieved when severely pressed into flashing back because of triggers. I was intentionally put in these positions by several women. The same ex later called me abusive, irresponsible, an addict, all kinds of things to CPS I did the classes complied showed my truth and they still wouldn’t believe I didn’t attack my ex in front of “her child” the newborn I was taking care of by myself while she partied and did coke with her side pieces… in all fairness I was barely 100lbs literally skin and bone, sleep deprived, depressed, struggling to fix my marriage but entirely focus on full time newborn care, couldn’t keep food down, no car, paying all the bills, and my coked up wife walks in demanding to take the newborn to who knows where with pupils the size of goofballs in her eyes and I refused. The baby was present but asleep. I called my dad to ask for advice as to how to handle this and she just starts up her bullying, which was fine. But then she started the triggers. Harder to resist. How the army didn’t want me and nobody wants me and she doesn’t want me cuz I’m all kinds of pieces of shit. Things I’ve felt about myself and trusted her with. Right in the feels. My dad is saying something I can’t hear because blood is swirling so loudly in my head she starts moving towards the baby I step between them and say you’re not taking her like this. Im standing my grown at this point. My ex is a former boxer and much larger and heavier and healthier than I was physically at that point. I used to LET her hit me because I knew where it was coming from and I thought if I just took it and got her help she’d “go back” to “who” she was when we got together. I never fought back cuz “I can take it.” I’ve got a lot of fighting experience plus my time in the army. So I can handle myself even for a little guy I am freakishly able for my size (5’ 2). I mustered every bit of strength I had to keep her from taking that baby. A baby a i thought was OUR daughter at the time. I’ve come to learn the truth since. Anyway I pulled a straight up mama bear and threw the phone as hard as I could when she made up her mind she was going for it. I kinda of popped out of my body and I couldn’t do anything but watch as all took place. I didn’t encourage her not to press charges, I volunteered to take her to the hospital and explain to the doctors myself what had happened. She refused and drove herself. Lied to the doctors told me she was ready to work things out and then moved her ex into our home that I paid for. I left the next night. Her friends and family begged me to call cps for the kids sake and then everyone threw me under the bus and basically just acted like I was a monster and no one ever felt safe around me the person the called for everything. I cut ties with everyone kids included which hurt the most. Divorced her and moved on with my life. But i don’t feel like I’m okay with being stepdad material. She had a son I’d raised with her for 4 years. Only missing out on the first few months of his life because we hadn’t met yet. I was the only “daddy” he knew for the longest time. We had a great bond. He loved my family as well. She lost the house and everything we’d built together… but I lost value in having values, I turned my back on certain morals. Just because it can be used against me to ruin my life. I can do everything right and some people will still cut me down for it. And if I tell anyone about it…. Or complain… I run the risk of being a lil “bitch” about it. I used to be quite comfortable crying and feeling. Now I feel but it never shows. I smile when I must but even at a comedy show I’m really enjoying I sit stoned face laughing on the inside. I try to make myself look as unapproachable as ever. I look like the uni bomber when I go out. Hoodie hat jeans boots in the summer. In the winter… coat over a hoodie with a hat and jeans and boots. At functions I dress appropriately which is usually when people realize I am approachable but you only see that if I actually know and trust the person or organization to go. And of course there’s work me. Work me just works. I’m not there to make friends. I’m there to earn my pay and work. I’m really a gentle and understanding person. But my past with mental health and the military makes me such a target for this kind of stuff. This is the first time I’ve shared this with anyone ever but it is a real phenomenon that happens and people are so closed off to it as if it really just can’t happen because of the differences between a man a woman. Even when the odds are in your favor… when you’ve got the truth…. It means nothing against a web of lies and misconceptions. Thank you for sharing and I hope you found a better life. I’m sorry you had to experience that. And I hope you never have to again.

Stay single and happy, these days as soon as you enter a relationship it's like women assume complete ownership of you, as their property, I've had friends who i no longer spend time with who literally give their freedom up to their woman, it's wrong and I want no part in modern relationships unless it's level playing field. Women have way too much power in relationships, more than most people care to even talk about, but men are to blame for letting this happen. In a partnership you are supposed to be partners, not one have power over the other. I'm actually getting tired of hearing these stories and feeling sorry for whoever got killed, they put themselves in that position, i've lost all empathy for the victims, they have plenty of chance to get away.

[@giftedfox4748]

As someone who was an abusive relationship with my spouse, I found it hard to get by. Other people didn't believe me, others said I need to man up, some said I need to abuse back because that is what she deserved, then a few said I need to divorce her. I ended up divorcing her though it wasn't an easy process as she kept dodging the divorce papers in nearly every way. Even in court she tried to convince the judge that the papers are not bond due to one part of her name being misspelled slightly even though she signed every page and agreed to the terms. All the things she had done to me was taxing and nearly ruined who I could have been right now. She even had friends over telling them how horrible I was, then walks to the room I was in to attack me and yell at me about a blanket. Even after she stopped and I asked her why she is doing this to me her friends still supported her actions. As a man, trying to get support of an abusive relationship is tricky. Matthew should have received the proper care from her and the legal system should have given her the proper punishment anyone else (or any man in her position) should have received.

@@christiane0801 PTSD is not seldom a huge factor. Unlike what most may believe: it's not just a "Soldier's Disease". Being mistreated and raised with malevolence is more than enough to turn someone who would've otherwise been a normal person into, for example, a sociopath. Someone whose main concern is not being bored or not being successful. They lack a, concerning emotional/affective capacity, fully structured brain, and most of their capacity for empathy, in general as well. Instead they have an easy time analyzing individuals, are cold, calculating and selfish. Similar to a psychopath, but "made" instead of "born". If the structural predisposition does not exist, or empathy was still a constant mental resource supplied throughout the traumatic event...weird things can happen. PTSD with what almost appears a split personality, when triggered, as another "quirky" development of a mental disease. These things do not leave much of "you", what constitutes your being, left. They devour your ego. All you had learned to overcome the odds is now... being used against you. You lose your autonomy.

Judging by the audio captured on the surveillance footage, it almost sounds as if Matthew was either already incapacitated by the time the "fight" made it outside.. or, even more plausible, he was far too intoxicated to fight back at all.

my theory is that maybe since he was drunk is that he somehow let it slip that he wanted to leave her and that probably sent her controlling and abusive ass into a rage. She says "You stay!" It could also be she injured him and he was trying to go outside to avoid more violence or for some air or simply not wanting to engage in the fight. Either way he was fleeing and she pursued him. She knew he wasn't able to fight back and she still killed him. I hope they focused on that point in court because it's clear he wasn't able to fend her off.

There is healthy narcissism, where you love yourself, you have insight into the good and bad in you (there is a balanced self-identity) and you have a strong core--a sense of who you are, what your identity is-- which is a good thing, of course. (Bad) narcissism is the next step, where you love yourself to the point where no one else really matters. You have a weak core self, where you sort of latch onto other people's opinions, beliefs, style, etc., adopting them for yourself as long as they're advantageous to you. The next step is psychopathy, where it's not about loving yourself or hating yourself because you have no concept of what those two things mean. You have no (and I do mean zero) regard for other human beings and feel in your bones that the rest of humanity is there to serve your needs. You can do whatever you like to them because they just don't matter. You have no core self and are basically, an empty vessel. This has nothing to do with intelligence, so you learn how to pretend. You pretend to have emotions, you pretend to feel remorse, you pretend that you like/love someone or other people in general. But none of that is genuine.

The internet has totally blurred that line and now not only is it not strange for them to have the eyes of strangers but that's what they want more than anything. Your family. Your friends or your girlfriend ( or boyfriend) becomes more and more taken for granted because it's the usual. They are here and in your mind they will always be here.

Social media basically tapped into that basic human need for attention. And turned it into a new addiction that mental health professionals are still trying to figure out how to help. I think we can date this shift all the way back to when they started monetizing online content creators. Somehow these content creators made a lot of money. A LOT. Add that with the lavish following, and to many it seems like the perfect career. You get to “do what you like” and be “loved” and rich. Yearning to become an “Online content creator” basically replaced the “becoming a celebrity in California” trend. The latter was really common in the 20th century, apparently (basing this on all the stories I hear about women running to California to become actors.) It is indeed really sad. The Internet has changed the modern environment so quickly that a lot of younger generations grew up only really knowing how to get their dopamine kick from it.

Don't let that hold you back from having a relationship. Murders don't happen that often. Just don't find yourself in an abusive relationship, and if you do, just get out

[@slipperydick]

But you could also get murdered by a friend, a sibling, a parent, a grandparent, a neighbour, a stranger on a bus... so are you going to live in isolation? I think being cautious is okay, but this is not going to happen to everyone.

Better never cross a road either. People have been killed doing that.

Omg yes youre covering this!!!! I knew this woman a bit and remember when she got with him. I can't believe she took his life like that. She was so privileged and he was a good person who didn't deserve this remotely. She squandered all of that. Pathetic brat imo. I can't wait to hear your take and more details!!!

What ‘That Chapter’ does with wit and some often needed humor to alleviate the horrors of humanity… you do with poetic wording and empathy… and, from me: an AVID lover of T.C., that’s an immense compliment. I love that you found your own footing in the over saturated market that is true crime. You deserve the success you’re finding. I’m both happy and proud for you.

[@chrismanaloe3507]

that chapter is a hack and is very disrespectful of victims. constantly shitting on them and anyone from somewhere he views as backwards. he also would have fauned over the killer like he does any female killer

[@amandastakeonit7402]

I think Mike, of 'That Chapter' is funny but he's not kind like everyone there says. If you binge watch his stuff you see that he has his targets that he bullies and I am not talking places! He isn't unbiased or w/o prejudice. He is actually hateful to some. I won't list it because that helps him! I think Adriane is actually very cool and refrains from publicly displaying his prejudices and biases, if he has them! He also doesn't seem to be so ... well, Mike can be called peg and fits in a round hole!! Adriane keeps all but compassion and not liking evil deeds under wraps! It's called maturity, diplomacy and tact! It sucks because I liked Mike until it was so clear.

[@DreamsAreLies]

@@amandastakeonit7402 in spite of how it may have sounded, I wasn’t comparing the two other than that I like their respective channels for their individual styles that fit my liking. Adrian is, hands down, one of the most (seemingly) empathetic, kind and heartwarming people I’ve come across, and I’d like to meet him just to see if I’m right (and say I got to meet him lol) about him.

I remember this case here in Tampa when all this went down and I know their home, we lived in Riverview and their house wasn't but a stones throw from ours... This was so heartbreaking and avoidable as well as frustrating! The selfishness and arrogance to do this to another human being is just lower than low....

Had this situation been reversed, I can assure you that Matthew's sentence would have been much worse. Just how the justice system works unfortunately. Sad case

[@CAHSR2020]

I don't think you're supposed to admit that and the narrator has certainly never acknowledged it.

[@fangirl3086]

No, it ain't about gender. It's about attractiveness

[@MisterJonesification]

@@fangirl3086 But she's not attractive. It is about gender, and being a white woman on top of that doesn't hurt her case either sadly.

[@kateginger]

@@MisterJonesification it's about both actually. There's research that proves that attractive people get less sentence than unattractive poeple, like about half the jail time. Honestly, when will pretty people stop getting away with crimes ?

That was a great photo of him at the end. Thank you for including with the rip message. I think that would be a nice thing to see at some point in all videos. It really reminds people, especially the ones who watch tc often tat these people had life’s, they have family, careers, goals, achievements. Idk i sometimes think people want to only hear about the monster and all the errie details. It was nice seeing his fb post of him mentioning his achievements. Great video overall I think you did a great job of highlighting the killer, crime and the life that was loss unfortunately way to soon.

[@justicecampbell3892]

Wow, I'm surprised that she ended up get sentenced to *less* than the deal they offered her. She definitely deserved more time, and they should have forced her to pay for her own lawyer.

[@BatCaveOz]

The reason for the discrepancy between the plea deal offer of 25 years and the actual sentence of 20.5 years is because the plea deal would have been an initial offer from the District Attorney and the actual sentence was determined by the Judge. (The Jury determining the verdict and the offense committed)

[@jeffsorrows]

And once you cross the line of forcing one person to pay for their own lawyer it is a slippery slope, it's your right to have someone represent you, even if you have the means to do so. Also if she hired a lawyer who deals with that specifically then she could of possibly got less years than the 20.5

[@klarahvar746]

20 years when there was no evidence of a mitigating factor and she had every intention of killing him, making sure he was dead before calling 911? Even without being released early by one of those 'good behavior/killer rehab lovers', it's not enough punishment. Matthew lost his life, but his family... I feel so sorry for them.

[@Dr.Spatula]

So execute anyone that has ever taken a life

[@klarahvar746]

Sorry? wenty years is not enough, they must give her the maximum.

[@doc-holliday-]

@@Dr.Spatula Anyone who MALICIOUSLY takes anothers life deserves a bare minimum life sentence. If you're victim doesn't get a second chance why should you? This isn't a case where someone was killed accidentally or through simple dumb decisions that ultimately result in something tragic. This was a vile bitch killing someone because shes a psychopath. Execution is a different matter. No justice system is perfect and innocent people are convicted all the time. Better to have a thousand scumbags serving a life sentence in prison then have 1 innocent person put to death by the state. That makes the state no better then the killers they would seek to punish. An innocent person given a life sentence has at least an opportunity to prove their innocence in the future.

[@taiidaniblues7792]

Trauma at a young age can make it so you will never be a healthy thinking human without significant professional mental health assistance. We like to think we are in charge of our brains, but unfortunately we are not. Trauma, especially in children, can make it so the child will never grow up to be a functional person. No matter how much good comes to their life later on. Untreated depression in adolescence can be that trauma.

​​​​@@KatherineLaura6564 I don't see it as an excuse, as there is no excuse. As a boy, I knew other boys who were overweight as children but became attractive and desirable in their late adolescence.. The sudden boost of confidence caused some of them to act differently while also carrying deeply-rooted insecurities; could that have affected Melissa as well?

Honestly believe it's that same heat and humidity that makes all Floridians and tourists a little crazy. I'd only just heard of this story from another KZbin video maybe 2 weeks ago. My oldest is a cosplayer who's gone to all the local cons for the past decade, so showed them to see if they recognized her, but they didn't. Ok, gonna shut up and get back to the video. I'm very curious and excited to get Adrian's take on this story as he always tends to have a great insight and is always so respectful of the victims and their loved ones. It's one of the main reasons this is one of my favorite channels. Hope everyone is having a great start to their week. Y'all stay safe out there!
