It's bullshit too. He was treated like shit before SIL came into the picture. They would still be treating him like shit if he hadn't destroyed their reputation. They're still shit people, but now it makes more sense to suck up to OP rather than shit on him, and if they didn't have a SIL scapecoat.

[@ovenaroundhead2881]

It’s kinda good how he tried to grow and change as a person, possibly for the sake of his kids

[@pandajaeger3079]

The Dan Redemption Arc was my favorite. I kinda liked Dan (or at least who he could've been) from the beginning because it seemed like he was gaslit into bullying OP by the parents and then he married The Main Villian and got manipulated even more and I was just hoping he saw the light and turned to OPs side bro. Like he seemed more of the conduit of OP's trauma and less the Master Mind behind it.

Well, it was quite sweet of OP to give his camper to his brother, despite everything he's done. I'm happy that OP and his family somewhat reconciled and, especially, that Dan's kids don't hate OP because of their mother influence

[@Olimar92]

OP knows the most Divine of Knowledge: Being an ass to people wanting to change just makes you an even bigger ass. He was also thinking of Dan's kid.

[@Chadius_Thundercock]

It was satisfying to hear Dan go through a Thorfinn level arc and do a complete 180 to the person he was. 11/10 story, even if it’s probably fake

[@feha92]

@@Chadius_Thundercock I actually believe it. The very disparate (in time) updates, alongside nothing going exactly in his favour as a matter of course when OP had been relying on that being the case (like some stories have revenge-plots that _need_ components of them to go _just_ right), does make it rather plausible. Add to that how OP was mainly reactionary and the story felt consistent, too. Granted, there were portions that felt somewhat embellished/biased (like his accounts of how horrid they had been to him as a kid), but that is honestly to be expected (and kinda made it seem more likely someone's actual account of events). And even those things are stuff I have knowledge actually _do_ happen irl at times, so might not [biased]. The main issue I have making it seem like it might be fake, is the extreme the family went to when they broke into his house and such (even forging fake documents - which btw any competent cop would bag as possible evidence). Hard to see how they could think they would get away with it, what they actually hoped to achieve, and how parents able to try and do that could then expect him to ever reconciliate. But ppl do do stupid shit irl, and making attempts/hoping is free

[@Chadius_Thundercock]

@@feha92 what makes it sound super fake is the multiple times posts of people on the story or accounts are private, deleted, “oh I don’t have cameras to show the video” then later on he says he got cameras but doesn’t upload the videos, doesn’t specify what state he lives in, no photos, there’s way too many coincidences for it to be real

As a child of narcissistic parents and grandparents, this was not hard to believe. What was shocking was the number of people saying they didn't believe it. My parents would gaslight me, saying all families were like ours and that "I should deal with it," like this guy and being young I accepted it.

[@MrMrtvozornik]

Yeah, this story is not only believable but also common too. And the most common "character" in the whole story is SIL. The girl that finishes college but then realizes she never wanted to work, tries getting a traditional role but then off shores all of her work load to older generation around kids while still spending money, and especially popping out kids every few years to keep out of work is so common. It's actually so common that it's basically an archetype of a character, instead of "one off", and I personally know few of them. It's really sad when people don't know what they want in life and then end up pulling everyone down with them. If she honestly strived for being a good stay at home mom and used all those years she wasted on college to acquire cooking/cleaning skills and then set out to find a guy who wanted 4-5 kids and such wife, she could've had happy life and make someone's life equally happy. Instead she spent those years acquiring worthless degree she won't use and more horrendously, a lot of ego about it. A lot of people do this and it always results in overall unhappiness around them.

[@sianais]

One of the most relieving and depressing things I found out thanks to the internet was the shit I went through wasn't unique and was actually disgustingly common.

[@professorfrog7181]

because reddit "true stories" are creative writing exercises for ragebaiting at this point, and writing believable fiction is the goal for such a purpose. Characters are archetypal, story follows a perfect arc, with character development and plot twists, happy endings, and most importantly regular updates. The story even opens by addressing the veracity of itself, and keeps insisting it isn't 10 copypasta reddit posts glued together. It could even be inspired by real world events, but it doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to figure this out.

[@professorfrog7181]

​​​​@@MrMrtvozornik getting angry towards a stereotyped fictional character archetype lol. Good old misoginy ragebait reliable as always. Nothing gets the blood of early 20s incels boiling like the portrayal of evil women. Raging foaming at the mouth so much it's dripping down the neckbeard. *chefs kiss* perfection

[@MrMrtvozornik]

1. You're white knighting way too hard, watch your back, they might break under all the pressure. 2. It's not fiction because I even said I saw it far too many times, and one's already too many. 3. Work on your profiling, cause early 20s incel is way off. You got gender right, pretty much nothing else, your profiling sucks ass. And by the way, getting angry at the archetype is precisely what people should do, and normal people do. Hate the sin, not the sinner is also "getting angry towards the archetype". Archetypes is what you build your world view, morals, ideals etc. But you wouldn't know anything about that, since you're parading on the YT defending undefendable people. I could ad hominem you with classic "I hope you grow out of this phase typical for 16-20 year olds" but I won't stoop down to your level of debasement, cause unlike you, when I do talk about a profile or archetype, I don't pull stuff out of my ass. @@professorfrog7181

I am Kinda Glad that Dan Finally woke up and saw the reality of the situation. As much as I despise him, I hope to see a Redemption arc for Dan.

[@ResidentWeevil2077]

Yep. I see way too many moral justice keyboard warriors painting everything in such broad black and white strokes here and on Reddit that I have to hazard a guess most of those commenting haven't dealt with many people IRL. Rarely are things as clear cut as we'd hope they'd be and instead we have to play the cards we've been dealt the best way we can. People may despise Dan in perpetuity (because those people actually can't let go of personal grievances for some reason), but I very much like hearing about how a person like Dan can actually take the time to self reflect and learn from his mistakes. They say time heals all wounds, but without putting in any effort to make sure that healing continues what's the point?

I think to a degree there was a redemption arc, just the willingness to go live in a camper like OP in order to do better for his son shows huge strides in his attitude and how he thinks about himself. Granted, it took being humbled by a cheating wife, which is always sad...

The updates make feel so bad for the kids. The whole house fiasco must have been so traumatic for them (Its not their fault, its there parents). Their mother sounds very neglecful and abusive, and then she functionally left him taking their little sibling with her. Also, I know its not their grandmothers fault, but it was also probably pretty tramatic to have her raising them and being a parental figure only to try and get rid of them.

This kind of family dynamic is why I left home at 18 joined the Navy, and never looked back. I started my own family. It makes Thanksgiving the Christmas a lot easier not having to go visit parents. My wife is kind of in the same boat. Her family is all back in Poland. She was never very close to them either. We have 3 kids and none were treated as if they were more or less important than the others. Our oldest has two kids of his own. We only have one left before we are empty nesters.

During covid gets laid off hits on hard times, and lives with his parents for a while until he earns enough money to mortgage a small apartment. For christmas that year, the whole family spends a great time together and reminisce about good times of the past. SIL never cheats because they're in a loving relationship. Kids grow up strong, smart and healthy and having amazing families of their own. OP finds the love of his life, gets married and they live happily ever after

"You'll be disowned for this!" "You promise?"

[@SilvaDreams]

I disowned my father 20 years ago because he moved me and his gold digger girlfriend and her two kids in together. He gave me a room just big enough to fit a twin size bed in and a dresser. I still treated her two boys, who were only 10, 11 and me being 20 my father's youngest, like they were my little brothers. I took them out to play baseball, football, rollerblading and so on. But their mother bad mouthed me being a bad influence because all I did was sit on my computer all day (despite working 40 hours and having paid off one of my father's cars, paid it's insurance and installed remote starters in both) but all she did was lounge around all day drinking and popping pills. The last straw was when he threatened to kick me out if I didn't buy "the car" off him for the remaining 8,000$ of my inheritance from my grandmother. I had thought he meant the car I had paid off and signed the pink slip in anger and paid him as I started looking for a new place. It wasn't till the next day when I couldn't find my keys that I noticed he had left the keys for her beater of a town car. Looked at the title I had signed and it was for that pos. I told him to go fuck himself and his gold digging girlfriend and took my computer and few things and drove down from near the Maine boarder to Boston were a friend lived... found out how much the car was because it was sputtering and having issues. Pulled into a mechanic shop and the guy did a quick look and showed me the cracked engine block, it needed a whole new engine. It thankfully got me to my friend's place. (still ended up homeless because his roommate tried blackmailing me into paying his rent.)

I believe it. My mom was a lot like op's mom when it came to me and my sister. If my sister was allowed to have anything of mine she wanted (money, clothes, my car, my gameboy, etc.) because "Don't be selfish. We are family." If she didn't want to share back it was, "She is allowed to have boundaries."

The kindness OP showed Dan during his drunken low point (and the morning after) after everything Dan did to him is god damn saintly in my eyes.

[@feha92]

I feel it was in large part that he didn't want to feel responsible for a drunk hit&run, + that he had realized he weren't using the camper and just letting it sit and go derelict while also actually still caring for those kids. Don't think it was much for dan's sake.

[@Arxgxmi]

​@@feha92on the off chance i sound insane i went through some crazy shit with family myself i am legitimately surprised how op did not feel the literal urge to kill him then and there, not saying there should have been any chance of it happening but i myself would be so done with these people i would have jailed all of them on the basis of assault battery harassment breaking and entering and sue for emotional damages and wasting my damn time, i feel very strongly that "family" are people that make you feel safe and cared for, not whatever troglodyte raised you. i wholeheartedly believe op would have been significantly happier had he distanced himself completely from his family emotionally and chalked it up to it literally being their fault.

[@supesulgi]

​​@@Arxgxmii guess some people are different than others. OP feels like someone who values attachment more than others, as he said in the story about not being able to easily leave their town. He may have a subconscious feeling that cutting them off completely is not good for his mental health.

[@Arxgxmi]

@@supesulgi yeah i don't think i can ever understand that, everyone has their limits and this should be past most people's IMO, even if you value attachment a lot you can just form new bonds decently fast, as opposed to trying to make something work with people that made it impossible to work things out for well over a decade. i just really don't get how burdening yourself with a family that never valued you like this could lead to any amount of fulfillment or happiness.

[@mr.switchblade604]

​@@Arxgxmi Its all a matter of perspective I suppose. I dont wanna think of myself as a pushover, and it feels prideful to call myself a forgiving person. But I dont like to think a bad person has the incapability of changing or becoming good. If someone is changing for the better, or trying to, I'd like to think that they can.

Shoutout to the Employers who let him park the camper in the backlot, man. Without them, not only would we not have gotten this amazing story, but OP's family would never have seen "That Bitch" for who she truly is. I'm glad reconsiliation is in the cards for the family, and I truly feel apologetic for Dan, who likely experienced some form of Ego Death through all of the revelations that occurred throughout the story (ranging from reading the perspective of his older brother through the reddit posts, seeing how his Ex-Wife manipulated and took advantage of his previous narcissism, down to her outright cheating and then blaming his older brother, and everything in between). Things seem to be looking positive, and from there, as much as I want an update to keep my drama-driven brain satisfied, I actually REALLY hope that we don't get any more updates, because ending off where we are now, no news is good news, aside from the car egging situation.

Yes, public shaming is nothing more than a reality check. In a world where we are trying to be more civilized and less violent, shame is a great tool to open the eyes of others and lower the rate of degenerate actions caused by others and ourselves.

to an extend public shaming can do some good but with all things if done in excess it causes more harm than good

And to be honest, OP deserves WAY way better than what he got in terms of parents and siblings. If this had been me, I probably would not have gone as far as OP did if those kids weren't a factor. Either way...glad to see this Saga come to a decent ending. Hopefully this is the last time we have to worry about the ex-Psycho-In-Law.

[@eebydeebyz]

[@SonicPrimus]

@@joaop4585 I get your point, but at the same time, they are technically innocent and still young. If Dan and SIL had gone to jail that day, those kids would be in the foster system or at best with the grandparents. It's a no-win scenario for them, and to be honest the way the story went with Dan actually getting his act together really shows how much people can change if given the right push.

[@NinjaTyler]

Like Dan could be salvaged to a degree because being the golden child isn't his fault, he was basically groomed to be a piece of shit by his parents, and at least he shows remorse now to a degree and admits he's terrible. It's the parents who should never be forgiven as they fully chose to be awful to the point they chose to move away from the family because everyone was calling them on being awful parents.

[@SonicPrimus]

​@@NinjaTyler A fair point. It's not 100% Dan's fault, but at the same time, he's still got a lot to make up for, so I think if Dan hadn't changed, yeah I would say something has to give one way or another. And I agree. If the parents really can't change, let them sort their own problems out. The father especially. He was such a dick to OP that he doesn't even know how to treat the poor guy since he can't enable Dan's BS anymore.

[@iainballas]

My favorite part of this story is how long the OP spends trying to convince everyone that it's not a combination copy pasta of ten different reddit posts he read.

[@JunkieRemix]

That last part doesn’t make sense, “vaguely believable”? There are many people who are exactly like who the stories are about, some people are trapped with them by relationship or by being the child of said people and have to deal with it until they’re old enough to get the hell out of there

Frankly, OP was a better person than I would ever be. I would've cut ties with someone like Dan, never help him nor even be friendly. Because notice how Dan never apologized for being shitty towards OP, he only called himself "shitty" as in his taste for women. He never applogized for acting haughty, for being evil, for acting entitled...he's still too prideful.

[@aelix56]

Tbh I'd never trust or love them again

[@eldoriath1]

That is true, but Im hopeful that words of apology, taking responsibility and repair will come in time. But maybe like his father he also needs to develop new behaviours to connect with his brother in a healthy way. When growing up you learn different patterns and as long as they work all is fine and dandy. Problem begins when it turns out these patterns aren't good in the long run, but without alternatives you will repeat the old patterns out of lack of choice. Therapy is an important part to help people with this no matter if they are the abuser of the abused. I've worked with plenty of people that have experienced abused, helping them finding their own maladaptive behaviors and then learning to break them and create adaptive behaviours. It's not easy, but it is possible. And when it comes to anger management progress can often be surprisingly fast just by getting one or two alternatives to blowing up in anger and getting a basic understanding of where the anger comes from.

[@realminiyay]

I’m pretty sure he said “I’m a terrible person with a shitty taste in women” no?
