Daughter's Fiancee Was Acting Sus On Engagement Party, So I Hired Private Investigator To Follow Him

[@LOLtz1]

Story 1: OP's daughter was tripping cutting her parents off. Sure the parents were a little overprotective but they stopped the daughter from making a big mistake. The daughter can't just blame everything on her parents and has to take some responsibility for picking a bad ex.

[@user-hr5pc3rt2n]

The pi was a great idea. In fact probably all the info obtained was available in public records. PIs know how to access this info that the average person usually does not.

[@amymusick5455]

As a parent of a daughter, always trust your gut! I was surprised the daughter was angry, because if nothing had been found out, she never would have known. The dad couldn't keep what he found out from her.

[@jasonrustmann7535]

It doesn't surprise me, woman make zero sense. She'll likely get herself involved with an even worse guy, but this time daddy won't be around to watch her back.

[@barbersandy]

What a nice family to help and support a young lady and her twins. I really liked this story, and the out come.

[@JanSwan]

What an awesome set of parents! Great job Dad!

[@zsong9600]

The best part of the story is that those two young boys finally had a safe home and a man in their life that was a good person. It was very kind of them to take in Libby and her two sons and those boys will never forget that. Libby’s parents should be ashamed of themselves, I doubt their marriage is perfect and their behavior says they certainly are far from it but to turn your back on your own child when they need help is disgusting.

[@maryjoyspohrer256]

You absolutely did the right thing as a father. The fact that she didn't listen to you, just means that that vile criminal has her manipulated into a corner. The hardest part for you and your wife is that since she's now a legal adult there's not as much that you can do to protect her. She has to discover things on her own, but we all know how much danger she's now in. 😢

[@scarter8137]

OP did the right thing! We love our kids and always have their best interest at heart. Yes, its natural for OP’s daughter to feel smothered by her parents which possibly caused naïveté. Glad OP was able to protect his daughter and help out Libby & the twins as well. Happy to have a good ending!

[@jenniferbeyer6412]

Always trust your instincts. Glad you got your daughter, and bf girlfriend, Libby and boys, free from the crazy slime ball bf. You saved their lives. So happy everything worked out. One thing, have the courts let you know if bf gets out of jail. He will go after you if he can.

I do believe that people can be redeemed, and change their course. My husband spent five years in prison. He’s now a business owner, and he hasn’t been in trouble with the law of fifteen years. That said, my husband is open about his past, and is proud of the man of he’s become. This man lies about everything. Lie, upon lie. This isn’t his past, this is his present.

She did know... She didn't care... That's why she was so hell bent on hiding it by burning the evidence... Even insane people wouldn't do that... If the PI dug any further they probably would have caught her too

It was a tricky road to travel one could say. It's so hard, not to overstep boundaries when you know someone you love is heading in a bad direction with someone that is corrupt and bad. At the end everything turned out well, so I suppose a OP done the right thing all along. I guess sometimes you got a risk relationships to save the people you love.

[@AofFL]

That's a dad that cares about his daughter's future. If my dad ever did this, I would love him more! And if Aaron is serious and is afraid of losing her, he will change. From the sounds of it, Aaron is irrisponsible individual, possibly controlling and a narcissist. Who holds their family from going outside?! Sounds like he's abusive.

🤦‍♂️ Getting a PI is not illegal, nor is the information they give. The PI knows, or should know, the full extent of the law in regards to the legal collecting of information on the individuals and the regulations involved. Plus, criminal records and accusations are in the public records, so anyone can go to the court and request information on past or current cases with redactions if needed. Somebody tell me if I’m wrong.

OP's definitely NTA and even if he was, he's a justified A-hole. And he and his wife was right to be worried. They were only trying to protect Leah. Sometimes the road to hell is paved with good intentions. At least Leah eventually saw the light. And poor Libby..........She had fallen prey to a monster. And her parents suck big time for not caring about her, the opposite of OP and his wife. Needless to say, Aaron is a monster. He deserves to be in jail for life! And if it wasn't for OP, poor Leah would've been another victim and who knows what could've happened to poor Libby. Thank God OP saved everyone! He's a hero in my eyes! ❤

You as a father, OP, did what was best for your daughter. Even if she did not appreciate it. But in the end, not only you gained your daughter back, you freed a woman and children in a domestic abuse and catching the ex-boyfriend red handed.

[@summersands8105]

That fact that Aaron came to you and told you he'd do anything as long as you didn't tell your daughter should have been a HUGE red flag and pushed you to gather as much information as you could as fast as you could. This guy is no good.

The one thing I do have a problem with the dad is that he didn't teach his daughter about how to tell what people are really like. That people, guys especially will lie just to be in a relationship. That not everyone can be trusted and never fully trust anyone until you really know them. You have to teach them to think logically and to be at least a bit suspicious of everything. There's too many scams and scammers out there. You don't want your kids to be an easy mark.

[@garigari5245]

That's why parents must bring back the stick, give harsher punishment. Discipline your kids before it's too late. This is what happens when you coddle your kids too much! They end up having no respect for you. That daughter is ungrateful, embarassingly naive, and a foolish. Let her meet her own demise at the hands of aaron. She's an adult, her fragile snowflakiness refused to face your tough love/sound judgement. Let her learn how to be accountable of her own life choices. Parents, you are suppose to be the leader of the pack, leading your pack from going astray! Now when you really need to put your foot down, none of your kids listens!

[@Rea_no_Kuni]

Honestly I think he did the best he could, though it was a rough road getting Leah to see he was only doing what he thought was best to keep his daughter safe. I think the only thing that would make this better would be if he and his wife did an adult adoption of Libby since her own family is so very lacking. He seems to have three daughters now, right?

[@perfectlyimperfect9129]

Sounds like the daughter knew or she's embarrassed because she didn't know but to take it out on her parents for wanting to protect her is horrible , I don't see how dad could have Went to jail for having someone investigating? I mean there are websites that will dig into somebody for you online. It doesn't make sense. And the fact that the daughter Is angry at her dad for trying to protect her from herself apparently Show something about her Personality as well.😬 I have 2 daughters and one stepdaughter , I don't care how old they are I will always protect them at any cost, She's lucky to have a dad loves her as much as he does. She is selfish and ungrateful. In the end it sounds like Laya Was just embarrassed that's she was fold so easily by this piece of trash, And unfortunately took it out on her parents for a minute . Her dad is a great man he sacrificed His daughter possibly being in his life just to protect her And lucky he did. It all worked out Indians and I'm so glad that Libby and her boys are free Of that monster as well. Aren't you truly loved their kids will do anything to protect them.

1st story: if you are a decent parent then you would know that that's the right decision that you made if you're questioning your decision and you didn't have a good relationship with your child in the first place and she was the one that was in control of the relationship. If not I would have done something like that I would have told them what I felt, and you would need to give me my money back because I would have took it. Then I would have let you go and be with your criminal soon-to-be husband. But I am the type of person that I will be there for you but I would not take care of. If he did something wrong I'll be that shoulder for you to cry on but I would not fund your lifestyle not after you turned your back on me after I tried my best to get you out of that situation. Every person that opposed to o.p. getting a private investigator to check the background of his daughter's boyfriend, more than likely are people that don't have children. So those type of people you cannot you cannot go by any advice they have to give. This man must be out of his mind to agree to this situation with criminal.
