Hearing the 5th story now as an adult and internally thanking my parents for being so strict about sleepovers, growing up hearing so many stories about parents molesting not only their child, but their children’s friends too 😖

[@Michellee970]

By strict, do you mean your parents didn't allow sleepovers at all? Or only as your house? Sorry, I'm just interested.

[@BeingAMomAndBeyond]

@@Michellee970not sure about the OP’s story, but my parents were funny about who I stayed with, but were very good about letting me have lots of friends over. I’ve ended up parenting, in that aspect, pretty similarly. I get it now. 😢

Only 300 dollars for dog sitting a week is the real horror

Drugs are hella of a thing😬

[@BeingAMomAndBeyond]

Dementia is an awful disease. My dad is in the early stages and he’s not even my dad when he has an episode. It’s hard to fathom, but as crazy as it sounds, in her mind, she was doing the right thing. Dementia literally shrinks the brain. Deteriorates the tissue. I know the other person was joking, but it kind of I’d like being affected by drugs, but sadly, you can’t stop it and fix it. So, it’s honestly pretty sad that the lady had no one around to help her. Bc it will eventually take her out and in a very sad state.

13:20 brought back a memory I had forgotten about. I was 18 and with my first bf, we had our first apartment which was really close by my older sisters apartment. She helped us out with doing laundry from time to time, or bringing us to work. But this one truck I recall would drive by and circle the areas we would be walking. I recalled this truck had this type of hunting Jeep lights on the tophood of the car. So everytime I would hear this truck first due to the exhaust he had in the truck. But literally we walked from our place up to this park, I seen the truck drive by and again while we cut through this park, then the forth time when we were standing out front of my sisters apartment. I was standing with my bf and his friend when this incident happened, and it was very scary being agirl by your bf who's also young and inexperienced in fighting and his friend who again no experience at all fighting. When stuff happens that makes you terrified and you only have people who you know never fought before, could be easily overcome, it's scary. Really makes you feel vulnerable.

Im just speculating, but story 12, sounds like they gave them the phone to potentially track it later on, hoping to hit them at wherever they were staying Either the guy remembered they gave them the phone, or realizing the signal was lost , then they freaked and rushed at them while they could've. Destroying the phone may have been a good call honestly.

Story 4.....I don't know why OP spent a large portion talking about how they're not crazy and don't have any enemies. Peeping toms/creeps like in that story don't seek people out for personal reasons and they usually target the same home more than once. They're just random/crimes of opportunity, it's not some big mystery. 🤷‍♀️ Story 5 was just all around horrible. The whole thing was so messed up.

[@BeingAMomAndBeyond]

I think we’re internally try to justify the crazy things bc humans, by nature, need a reason for things. The OP was probably subconsciously trying to figure out why they were targeted.

I just ❤ your videos🥰🥰

[@MissWobbles]

Imagine being scared of an old, demented lady.

[@BeingAMomAndBeyond]

Imagine not being. Likely bc you don’t understand how the disease works. Any nurse will quickly tell you that ppl with dementia are some of the scariest and most abusive patients they encounter. Peep the stats on abuse of nurses who work in nursing homes. I promise you’ll be shook. My father has dementia and during an episode, he is not my dad. My mother, whom he has worshiped my entire life, is now scared of him. Old lady or not, unless I was in reach of my protection, which I always usually am, I would be fearful too. Because though I would, who really wants to have to try to fight off an old lady? It just feels wrong. Case and point, you don’t play around with diseases that affect the brain. That old lady might intend to take you out, with a physically strength you might not expect, might I add (the adrenaline can increase their strength in a way that is hard to fathom), just as quickly as any serial killer or drugged up lunatic. No joke.

That “Daddy’s Home” at the end really caught me off guard 😂

[@josiegipson90]

OP in story 4 is old enough to know peekaboo Charlies don't need a reason to prowl. You don't need an ex or an enemy and you surely don't have to dress proactively to attract the wrong attention. The fact you're home alone with disabled parents is enough.

[@HexIsme]

Exactly. Details don't matter, it's the vulnerability that tends to be the focus for predators like that.

[@JayEmElle8]

Exactly. Some predators just get off on terrorizing random strangers. Also, she seemed to go on for way too long trying to convince her audience she didn't hallucinate the event and isn't crazy. Kind of makes me wonder if she did in fact hallucinate or may be crazy 😅

[@chopsandtoots]

Yeah that was my exact sentiment. She's acting like it's some grand mystery when it's just the very simple fact that these perpetrators are opportunists.

[@Esmeralda505]

Well said! I was wondering why they were trying to find the justification of why they were targeted when the truth of the matter is danger lurks everywhere and the writer could have been a victim of opportunity.

[@josiegipson90]

I just realized my phone autocorrected provocatively to proactively so I appreciate you guys not trolling me over that. Y'all know how people are. So yeah, totally glad to actually get real responses instead of a bunch of trolling over autocorrect. I'm really curious about her mental health. We all have issues but she did spend a great deal of time on the hallucination thing. I believe she may have mentioned she had a prior hallucination or something. Idk, I've listened to a bunch of videos since this one but I feel like she mentioned having a previous hallucination episode and then steps how to determine whether it's a hallucination or not. I probably should've went back and scanned the transcript before I commented but I really don't wanna have to start my comment over so y'all can correct me if I'm wrong. Somebody mentioned in a story how to determine if something is real or hallucination and I believe OP did whatever and got a reaction from him. The small details are hazy. But anyway, I do remember all the time OP spent trying to convince the audience she wasn't having hallucinations so I kinda feel maybe there's some kind of schizophrenia or maybe a paranoia disorder she has to constantly deal with or some kind of trauma has happened to her specifically and she wasn't believed, she might not even have any paranoia/schizophrenia issues but maybe something has happened and either parents or an partner has been oh, you know that didn't happen.. you're just making it up... that person wouldn't do that...or maybe you can't trust yourself because you have such and such. Plus the fact she's my age and should've learned long ago predators are opportunists. A lot going on with OP and honestly I feel terrible for her because it sounds like she can't trust herself, like her whole self including instincts, intuition, what she hears and also probably what she sees too. All that convincing has me convinced she spends a lot of time having to convince...that's slightly abnormal behavior.

At 13:44 she had baby at 40 weeks pregnant. That would be 10 months. How is that possible?

[@MoonWomanStudios]

40 weeks is correct, 9 months is the misnomer

[@BeingAMomAndBeyond]

@@MoonWomanStudiosthis actually drives me insane. Because it feels like 100 years, but if 40 weeks is 10 months, how are there 52 weeks in a year? That would be 3, 4 week months to go when there’s only 2. The issue is most months actually equate to 4.35 weeks. So 40 weeks, in actuality, it’s closer to 9 months than 10. I know you didn’t ask, but this has literally kept me awake at night. So I thought I’d share my research. 🤣

[@BeingAMomAndBeyond]

The average pregnancy is 40 weeks. See my reply to the person who replied to you if you want the explanation on why it’s not actually 10 mos. Yes, I did research. It bothered me years back and I needed to get it. 😂

[@Dolly_GirL_x]

Women are usually pregnant a little longer than 9 months.

[@BeingAMomAndBeyond]

@@Dolly_GirL_x exactly right. 9.4 months to be exact. Including the two weeks tacked on to the beginning, in which you’re not “technically” pregnant. But even if you round it, you still get 9, not 10, and this is one of those little pet peeves that bothered me so much, I legit spent a few hours making the math actually math. The biggest point here is the fact that 40 weeks simply doesn’t equal 10 months. It just doesn’t work that easily. Same premise as leap year, day counts differing in the different months, etc. But ppl will still argue with their last dying breath that it’s 10 months. Whatever helps them sleep I guess. Figuring it out helped my adhd brain so I certainly can’t hate on em. 🤣🤷🏻‍♀️
