Family Says I'm A Bad Human Being For Not Forgiving My Sister For Crashing My Car r/Relationships

[@AndyyWithAY]

She stole THE NEIGHBOR'S car and fought OP's mom?? Something is seriously wrong with her. If she is an alcoholic, she needs inpatient, she's completely out of control. What is wrong the parents?? She keeps crashing cars? Drunk driving? Just what!!

[@Mia-dt3gl]

Her uncle is a cop, which is essentially why Paula kept getting away with it. Hopefully she’s not able to get away with it this time because she stole a non-family member’s car and committed physical assault.

Story 2, OP let me give you some advice. If I was taken out by someone and the food and restaurant was great and it only cost $40 the first thing, I would do is thank her and also compliment her for finding a place with good food and for only $40. I would also be thankful that she can have a great time for little money. She would be a keeper.

Sorry for your loss, I really don't get why people put themselves and others at risk, by driving drunk

[@Grace_x68]

Agh that is so sad. Sorry to hear

[@pickle_pup8187]

Sadly when my dad passed the teens to my knowledge really didn’t receive much in the way of charges and my mom was too broken and dealing with trying to raise 4 little ones. She was never really the same after loosing him. She passed when I was 21 from inflammatory breast cancer. I like to think of them being reunited now. But in this day in age when taxis, ride shares, buses, Uber,Lyft, cell phone etc being so available there is honestly NO EXCUSE for drinking and getting behind the wheel. There just isn’t. Why run the risk - if you look from a financial standpoint alone - bail, attorney fees, fines, loss of license, increased insurance costs (if you can find someone to insure you) and the potential loss of your livelihood - just why? This is without figuring the cost if you have an accident and the is property damage, injuries and if someone passes ???? You are pretty much just done. The evidence will be there and you will be charged and you will go to jail if you are lucky but more than likely - prison. You will be a convicted felon. (At least here in the US). Let that sink in. These are the hard cold facts of what can happen when you drive drunk.

[@AndyyWithAY]

Absolutely NTA. Even if Paula paid the full sticker price and apologized that doesnt guarantee forgiveness. But she STOLE the car. You absolutely need to take her to court. Not sure if this is something you can press charges over, but if possible absolutely. Everytime this dangerous heifer even looks at a car, a car gets damaged 😱🤣 I just can't.

[@TriXJester]

Story 1: Something I have told parents who let their children drive recklessly "Caskets are cheaper than new cars"

[@fallingawayfromthenorm]

I’m so desperate for another update to Story 1. Paula is a danger to anyone else on or off the road, who knows when she’ll crash the next car and where. Honestly she should probably have her licensed revoked for life at this point, if she’s going to start assaulting people and stealing cars outside of the family, she isn’t planning on getting better and knows her dad’s side of the family will back her no matter what harm she causes.

[@teyarose]

The whole lying to the police to protect their ass is the most frustrating and infuriating thing and i really, really need to know that they don't get away with it. Clearly they already know they're in the wrong since they felt the need to lie about it but man i need closure so badly for this random stranger's story.

this also screams golden child of the family and the family wont care that she could potentially get herself killed or kill someone else with such driving.

[@hugoumero9723]

@@KaeyaDraws i bet it one day Paula will ended up been killed OP mom in hit and run and OP will not care about her mom at all

[@a.westenholz4032]

From the way things developed, it sounded to me like it was the stepdad that was the main enabler with (what I assume is his brother) the uncle's help. OP's mom probably went along because she is the sort to not want to create confrontations and keep the peace, a weaker personality, so took her cues from her husband. Further she as the stepmother to Paula, was probably a little afraid of seeming partial in favor of her own daughter, something I'm sure stepdad would certainly have accused her of being. But even mom had her limits, and when it came down to it left the steps to their fates. Which no doubt will be pretty bad if stepdad doesn't wise up soon- though it doesn't sound like he will.

[@damien678]

Paula is gonna get herself killed and mum, stepdad, and uncle would have completely enabled it

[@twentyfiveyears5010]

Story 1, "Am I A Bad Human Being For Not Forgiving My Sister For Crashing My Car:" To deserve forgiveness, you need the Three R's: Responsibility, Repair, Repeat. 1) Take responsibility for what you have done. 2) Repair the damage you have caused if possible. 3) Take steps not to repeat the action. Paula has done none of these so she deserves no forgiveness.

[@neil999ish]

Yes, op needs to go FULL THROTELL on paula, the dad and uncle if he tries to "block" op's report. In fact op should demand to speak to some one above him ask for it to be recorded and she recieves a copy there and then (with her lawyer pesent) tell why she asked for a ranking officer and say you have no confidence if the uncle "was involved" in way, shape or form you are afraid it would be "covered up or ignored!"

[@impishrebel5969]

If Paula isn't stopped now her driving record is going to land her in some serious jail time. She needs to have her license revoked ASAP and I would be surprised if it wasn't already. She needs to be banned from driving a car, jfc.

She's going to *kill someone.*

[@KarlAndArma4ever]

Unfortunately her uncle's a cop who constantly gets her out of trouble. However, since Paula stole someone else's car and punched OP's mom badly enough to require a hospital visit (per the mini updates), I'm going to assume even the cop uncle's not gonna be able to bail her out now.

[@agentzapdos4960]

This story likely takes place in either the US or Canada. Taking away someone's driver's license in these countries is actually an even worse strike against someone's personal mobility than literally chopping off one of their legs.

@Agent Zapdos You absolutely can take someone's license away. It it's done all of the time, just people don't adhere to it. It is not that difficult to take it away due to it being a privilege and not a right. No one needs a car to travel. Unless they are somehow deathly allergic to public transportation, they have many options. And if they don't live in an area where that is possible, then that is their fault. No one has the right to drive if they are putting others at risk.

Story 1: Her stealing the car of someone Daddy can't bully into silence ought to help OP's case. She should also get w/the neighbor's and coordinate complaints against the uncle. Give the lawyers her driving/drinking/crashing history that proves a pattern of cover ups. Get paperwork on the crashes of each car, and now that Mom has cleared the fog, she can add her statement to the contrary. Between the 3 of them, maybe they can get Uncle fired!

I work as a security officer and one day about a year ago one of the supervisors comes up and tells me to pull up a camera at such time, so I did. Lo and behold, we see one of the temps gunning it on a forklift before he loses control, hits one support beam before he spins and stops by slamming into a second beam. No one was hurt fortunately (although they could have been) However, story doesn't end there. Supervisor tells me that temp won't be returning and I assume it's because he's fired, nope. This guy stops the forklift, steps down, and quits on the stop. When the supervisor says they need him to take a drug test, and it's standard for any accident he refuses, says he's high as shit, and just quits on the spot and leaves. Not sure if that actually let him avoid a drug termination on his resume, but I just thought that was funny (again, only because no one was hurt)

"No hate if you are into a bit of whipping" Hahahah, I died!🤣 Oh Mark, always so considerate and polite, it clashes so perfectly with dominatrix stories.😂

[@quarkshark9388]

should name the mom, step dad and step uncle as accomplices to the theft.

[@295Phoenix]

Story 1: NTA OP needs to sue her ass, her insurance likely requires charges to be filed before they pay for the damages anyway. Parents are the bad people for raising OP's sister to be like this.

[@cyrilenejones6130]

That story about the boyfriend who lost his job, oh my word, he is an awful person leave that fool.

[@MrsGump]

I gotta say it - MN ur stories are always the highlight for me! As for the leather sofa, my mind went straight to the hubs in leather & a ball gag, like the dude outta Pulp Fiction 🤣

[@alilsillygoofy]

Thank you so much for adding captions to the story you told!

[@jenniferfoote5442]

Omg the whipping story 😂😂😂 Mark's giggling thru it was just as funny 😂

[@randomusername3873]

Oh so the mother is ok with Op being treated like crap by stepdad and stepsister, but when they turn on her, that's when she gets a divorce Lol

[@PrincessQ-fj9ly]

Well, at least she's finally realized how bad the situation is. Still, it shouldn't have taken her being attacked by her stepdaughter to realize how bad the situation is.

The sofa story --- I love when Mark gets the giggles ❤❤❤❤❤

[@angietyndall7337]

Story 1: NTA. She shouldn't drive and should lose her license & go to jail for theft; etc.

[@LisaApril]

I remember that story Mark about the sofa. You told us some time ago and you said that the guy on the phone closed his eyes and then said “that’s something we can fix then“. I can’t believe he would write that down in the computer. Love your stories Mark❤

A Mark Appreciation comment: Congrats on telling your stories w/out apologizing... Even if it was at the end of the video.... Progress 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@HeadBop]

Story 1: What you need to say to Stepdad and Uncle is "My condolences in advance, for WHENever Paula wraps her car around a tree or drowns in the lake while drinking thanks to you and your neglect". Like, seriously, she's been relatively lucky not to have died in any of her accidents while drunk.

[@defuncttoad9552]

Um, someone take that girls license away

[@kaciellyn7646]

I did all center work(it almost killed me!) but I NEVER EVER got a call like that … darn it!

[@KIDhazama]

I'm kind of disgusted by the fact that no one seems to acknowledge the corrupt cop angle of story 1. The drunk chick literally has a get-out-of-jail-free card thanks to the uncle.

[@thebirdchannelforfans623]

Shit, I was thinking the same thing! That uncle needs to be reported to his sergeant.

[@rosaazure]

First story - OP should request from the police that the uncle does not have a part of the investigation. Make sure that they know that she is afraid that the uncle is biased towards the stepsister. She should also tell her insurance company and police that the stepfather insinuated that the uncle will not do anything if she filed a report.
