Two Things: 1. I find it surprising that all that money Bruce spent on destroying his family could have been spent paying off his debt. 2. I think the reason he decided to take his own life was that he knew that with the burns to his body he couldn't possibly cross the border and get on a plane without attracting some attention. And he also couldn't go to the hospital for assistance because it would have the same result. So he probably felt he had no other option but to take his own life.

An interesting tidbit I didn't see talked about. The only reason the little girl opened the door was because it was tradition for Santa to show up every year to bring presents for the kids, so when the girl yelled Santa and none of the adults reacted.. that was the reason why (it was normally a family friend or family member who came as Santa every year).

Just so everyone is aware, the waiting period for purchasing guns in CA is called a cool off period so they can try to prevent people who are heated from buying a gun and using it on a whim if they are having a bad day. In the meantime, a full background check is done, even if buy a gun with cash.

my dad is really close to a family member who escaped the ortega house. he escaped with his nephew through the backyard. i never knew much about this and my dad doesn’t want to tell me too much, thank you for the info bailey. edit: I asked my mom about it today and my really close friend from scouts was the house they escaped too. Absolutely terrifying, my mom couldn’t help but cry and I don’t blame her. I never knew how closely related to I was with this story.

[@angelofdusk13]

Sometimes when I listen to these stories, and we get to know these wonderful people and their daily lives, I know they're going to die.....sometimes I just like to rewrite it in my head. Think about what a nice Christmas it could've been, if it was the estranged uncle showing up as Santa with gifts for everyone. I know it's weird, and I know it didn't happen. It's just that the story is so sad, and these wonderful people are gone.

I'm less than 10 minutes in, but I've just gotta share this childhood memory which just got a whole lot creepier.. When I still believed in Santa, I saw a man dressed as Santa at our front door after dark. He kept motioning for me to open the door, I got excited and ran to get my mom who was doing dishes in the kitchen. She thought I was just playing make believe, and she knew that I knew better than to open the door, so she didn't follow me, just kept doing dishes. I went back to the door and he was still there, motioning for me to let him in. I was so tempted, but I didn't want to get in trouble, so i didn't. Eventually, he gave up and left. A few years ago, I brought it up to my mom and she was like, "Wait, that was real?? You really saw that???" We both got the chills. I dont even want to think about what that man's intentions were.

Hey Bailey- long time watcher first time commenting. I’m disabled and have several autoimmune issues. My health is constantly declining. The past few year have been extremely stressful for me. You and your show make me smile and laugh everyday! I look forward to watching you and just hearing you talk. You have a wonderful personality and I only wish the best for you! You have unknowingly helped so many people like me. This world is crazy and it gets so lonely. Having these videos really helps! Thank you for everything you do!! I can see just how much everyone loves you! It’s because you are genuine!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@gregisalways]

Hey Teresa! You are definitely not alone! I'm disabled as well, probably in a different way than you are. Yeah Bailey's made this year so much more bearable for me too!!! Yes, she really seems like such a genuine person, she doesn't flex about money or things, and she makes mistakes and shows them! It's really cool watching all her videos (MMMM, Dark History, and GRWM) from before to now, and see how long she's been grinding at it and now all her hard work is paying off!!! It just makes me happy to see real people who work hard succeed, because I've become really cynical and jaded about the world we live in. Anyway, I hope you have a great holiday season! ❤️❤️❤️

I don’t remember hearing about this when it happened, but in 2010 my family tried to surprise me with a visit from Santa where he was supposed to bring a present that I would open with him and the family. I was home alone when he arrived, I opened the door, saw a man dressed as Santa Claus holding a present and IMMEDIATELY slammed the door in his face and hid. He left the present in my mailbox and I realized that he was my just my neighbor. I lied through my teeth when my family asked if anyone came by that night cause I was so embarrassed lol

I was a Senior in high school when this happened and one of the kids I went to school with was in that house.

I had the honor of writing a dedication piece in our yearbook for him. So so sad.

Fun Fact: In a divorce the wedding ring is part of the wedding "contract" so it can be claimed back. The engagement ring is a "gift" and so generally it can't be claimed back. At least that is what I have heard.
