So reminds me of the story where the parents spoiled the hell out of the OP's little sister and they ended up having to send her to boarding school to try and get her to not be so screwed up.

[@anthonyk1744]

Yeah I remember that one, that kid seemed insane

[@Catherine.Dorian.]

@@anthonyk1744I have a feeling we will see a lot more of that, parents today aren’t parenting their kids. We are going to have a lot of feral children

[@SiilyClown]

​@@Catherine.Dorian. "todays parents arent parenting their kids" literally every generation says this and its always after hearing about the worst case scenarios, never the whole picture.

[@Catherine.Dorian.]

@@SiilyClown No, it’s not. I’m talking about the kids being tasked with screens. My brother did it and he’s destroyed his kids already

[@Renkencen]

Oh I know that story!

[@stevenmael]

Uncle did more for that kid than he realizes, literally made his chances of NOT ending up a criminal that much better.

[@friendlyneighborhoodshinigami]

He should be thankful im not his uncle coz 🔫🔫🔫

Yeah, it shows thag he really does care for them

[@jakekn7304]

[@Casey21.]

Honestly, I feel like the uncle did more for those kids than the parents did. Plus he showed a very high understanding of psychology with both when and how he showed kindness to all 3 nephews

Props to the two younger nephews who came back and apologized eventually, it took their egos getting a beating but they did it and started to learn from their mistakes.

[@JupitersTears]

Also they were following their "cool" older brother and got kinda brainwashed let's just call those two young and dumb ya know

[@ERBanmech]

@@JupitersTears pretty much. “Young and stupid” is definitely a great way to put it. Some kids are just like that and with the right corrections it won’t constitute what they’ll be later on.

[@JupitersTears]

@ERBanmech yeah everyone makes mistakes its how you react that shows who you are

[@eaglewarrior7979]

Honestly those two kids are probably going to grow up and do great things. They really showed improvement and the parents should be proud.

[@nataliereeves3594]

The oldest seems like he needs some kind of therapy, though. I can c him being locked up before long.

[@erenyeagar4686]

op saved the lives of those kids. they were all destined for jail without his intervention. even the eldest was broken down at the end which is amazing. also, people need to understand that bipolar doesn’t mean you’re sometimes good sometimes evil. it means you have extreme rushes of life energy between depressed episodes.

[@fl1bble]

"He came back without his bike and backpack and looking beat up, he wont tell anyone what happened" Just a wild guess, but he probably found out what an actual 'tough guy' was first hand.

[@Saiyanhater]

He prob talked shit to shit to a bunch of crips and got jumped

[@jacobgomos2418]

What happened to the eldest nephew in the end is very hard to say that he didn’t have it coming. Because even if he did change his behavior he still did hurt a lot of people and it should definitely come as no surprise that there would be someone who would want to get even with him for how badly he treated them.

[@Garbagecant24]

Karma

[@idontknow2591]

i think that the kid should at least be allowed at the holidays

[@Alex_The_Barbearian]

I think I now know why he got beaten up and his stuff stolen.

[@jacobgomos2418]

It does seem like a strong possibility. Especially since when he did end up returning home without the things he left with but refused to say who attacked him. He probably kept his mouth shut because he was either threatened or too afraid to say anything or he was too embarrassed to say anything about what happened.

[@melissamorton220]

Moving is probably the best option for the kid to start over. I hope he can be better in the future.

[@TheSergio1021]

Man they are really describing a child that's DESTINED for jail. The oldest is probably just gonna get more aggressive and violent as he gets older.

[@Thanatossssx]

OP really saved the day on this one

[@Noah_Kai2]

Probably would’ve been abusive too

[@ProjectDv2]

Not necessarily. Between intervention, medication, and some displays of compassion, he already showed some measure of improvement. Throw on top of that a change of venue by moving to give him a fresh start on adulthood gives him a solid chance at turning it around. My ex had a cousin that was arguably way worse than this kid, dude would go after people with knives, including his own mother. He was flat out sociopathic. But you talk to him nowadays and you would never believe it. Between completing puberty rewiring his messed up brain, medication, and intervention, he's turned into an amazing man that works super hard to help the people around him and is driven to succeed.

[@kos2919]

The last part you can read that the kid is getting better. He visited his uncle (op) to fix his bike and start talking to him again. The progress is slow but there's hope

[@CherryGryffon]

He doesn't show aggression so much as addiction, in my opinion. His aggression was likely FROM his addiction, and if dad had to quit booze for the same issue as hinted, to the point he had to quit cold turkey, then it seems even more likely.

[@ZenoDovahkiin]

[@kevinbell5674]

It's so rare to see stories like these end on a mostly positive note. Despite all that's happened, I'm still rooting for the eldest nephew to get better.

[@AriaRosetti]

The parents should have given you the money and punished their kids. It's their fault that they are letting their kids do this. It's also amazing that the family stood with you, there are a lot of times when the family would take the sisters side.

[@Kreshura-tm5rb]

They actually gave the money and punished the kids

[@AriaRosetti]

Ye ofc, but they should have just done it in the first place@@Kreshura-tm5rb

[@Logan-cw9yr]

When OP first asked for the $200 to cover the cans I probably would have made the kids sell a bunch of their video games/consoles/whatever until they could come up with the money and then pay him back.

[@godnyx117]

Why do people comment without watching the full fucking video?

[@AriaRosetti]

@@godnyx117 I just meant that they should have just done it at first without making a fuss- Ik they did it eventually lol

[@thehiddensilentone1795]

I'm really glad the act of tough love ( like calling the cops on your criminal nephews) had not only set his nephews straight but the sis and bil straight as well.

[@Thanatossssx]

3 minutes in and OP is already doing a better job at parenting that his sister.

[@ziolan8970]

Yo he ran away and got robbed. Imagine thinking, you're the baddest there is and an actual villian steals your stuff and beats you up

[@onionarmpit]

So many kids are messed up because of poor parenting. I must admit I'm concerned that the oldest nephew will return to crime without the monitoring, it takes more than a year to fix behavioural issues and cope with the damage

[@thetruesimplegrid]

This has got to be one of the best uncles I've seen in while.

[@LadyMelmo.]

I am Bipolar and it offends me when people use it as an "excuse" to be terrible people, and it makes us all look bad. We're not like that, that was not the Bipolar, some people are just bad.

[@avaphynx]

Agreed I check people often who tries to use it as an excuse. Im diagnosed with it also. And I had an rough upbringing. Never did anything like that.

[@LadyMelmo.]

@avaphynx Absolutely, yes. I also had an abusive childhood and much of my adult life, and deal with CPTSD because of it as well as being Bipolar, and while of course we feel and act differently in swings (I tend to mania) it doesn't change our basic sense of decency or moral compass. That has to already and separately be part of that person. Even during complete dissociation I have not done anything bad to other people (I do have some interesting paintings I have no memory of doing though!).

[@asw654]

Same, bro/sis. I admit during manic phases i was super cocky and had delusions of grandeur, but i always had the sense to keep that nonsense to myself. And i always used that extra energy to uplift others instead of spreading misery. When i was in depressive phases, i would want to end myself because i mistakenly thought it would be less painful for people around me. Still didnt think about making people's lives miserable. The ones who actively bully others and keep taking away from others are just bad people period. Bipolar might amplify that a bit, but they had to have been terrible in the first place to even have the idea to toss hammers at victims.

[@LadyMelmo.]

@asw654 You're the first person to put bro/sis, and I like it a lot. You sound very much like myself. I call mania my "Queen Of The World" phase, and sometimes I feel I was a bit selfish later, even though I apparently hold it in well because I'm very concious of it when it happens, but I have never harmed anybody else because I still knew right from wrong. I absolutely understand that in a depressive phase sometimes thinking not being here anymore would make things so much easier and better for those around me. It's a terrible feeling to have, but we really think it's the truth at the time. And I agree with you. With people who are so terrible to others, it's a part of them and not the Bipolar, that might just trigger it into a certain direction more but it's already part of who they are and not the condition making them like that. You sound like you have a good head on your shoulders with your Bipolar. I know it's hard sometimes, but being the way you seem is something to be proud of.

[@stinky_twigs]

and media doesn't help this either. i have DID as well as bipolar 2 with a tendency towards depressive episodes, and i often get villainized because of it- the DID especially. it's always portrayed in media as being psychopathic in nature and is simply not- not outwardly, at least. sure, we have a headmate who's a little more on the aggressive side, but he exists solely to protect us from physical and sexual abuse. most of the 'aggressive' ones are internally aggressive, focusing their anger on me (the host) for everything wrong in our life. i also hate systems who blame their bad behavior on their headmates/alters. that's what gatekeepers are for. i understand that sometimes it can be hard to keep certain headmates at bay, but it's still not an excuse. it just makes me really really mad. gives us all a bad name.

[@chessieray1465]

This is why people say you better raise your own kids, or the world will.

[@farmerboy916]

That older nephew is lucky he didn’t get a permanant, kinetic lesson the second time when assaulting OP and his house. It could have escalated to that.

[@xRose_12x]

Respect to that guy. He did so much for those kids, even when they stole from him. Not gonna lie, the oldest didn't deserve forgiveness so soon, but it was really nice of him to give it anyway~

[@laurastarlight8372]

I'm bipolar, and I know that what I do when I have my episodes are my fault. It's not an excuse.

[@vapor404]

You can’t blame anyone but yourself for your own actions trying to blame other things on what you did is a major red flag In my eyes so good for you for admitting that you got a thicker skin than most

[@butterflywings188]

Do you have a history of childhood abuse? This is the most frequent cause for bipolar disorder.

[@stinky_twigs]

@@butterflywings188 is it? i thought it was a brain chemistry thing. i personally have bipolar 2, and i wasn't *abused* per say, but i was emotionally neglected. my therapist told me a lot of what my parents did was abuse but they didn't really ever hit me, so i'm not sure it counts as abuse. i know it would if i thought about it happening to someone else. i'm getting off track. this is interesting information, thank you. i'm gonna have to do some extra research.

[@butterflywings188]

@@stinky_twigs A personality disorder is ALWAYS caused by childhood abuse and/or neglect. It's never a "brain chemistry thing". I'm so srry this happened to you! Abuse can be: physical, emotional or mental. And neglect can also be physical, emotional and mental. I'm really happy that you want to research into it! A lot of people are in denial and can't accept that their parents abused them. It's not your fault! Its because your parents are emotionally immature. It's also not their fault! They are emotionally immature because they've also been abused and/or neglected as children. Although, even if your trauma is not your fault, your healing is always your responsibility... Anyways, it doesn't mean that they don't love you! I really hope you heal from everything that happened! I hope your parents will heal too! You're amazing and you deserve beautiful things in life! 🧡💙💜💚

[@user-xd1cm9vu9s]

as someone who has bipolar, it is not an excuse for that kind of behaviour. yes, manic episodes happen where you have little to no impulse control, but anything you do during those episodes is still done by you

[@redwood34]

If this kid doesn't fix his life, he probably will be in prison or dead.

[@devoteeofmediocrity821]

Good on that older brother for dishing out some justice and getting off easy.

[@MorganMagpie]

Just skipping to one point. If I had a kid who was addicted to alcohol I wouldn't put the alcohol in a locked fridge. There would be no alcohol on the property fullstop.

[@spencershina7508]

so instead of just helping your child get better and getting them the help they need and teaching them that things are ok in moderation and that you have to know how to control yourself, all the while not having to alter your lifestyle or stop drinking on any occasion ever, youd rather just get rid of all the alcohol in your house like its not everywhere else in the world: at most restaurants, (as he knows) in literally every house in your neighborhood, at all of your families houses, and will be presented to him at every turn when he gets older.

[@kieranwrightstone2199]

19:09 Beyond that part is entirely new to me. Seems like the older nephew finally learned his lesson but sadly that came before karma literally knocked his teeth ou.

[@Shittake500]

Why would bro be upset that his nephew’s shit got pushed in over him being a bully and the kid defending his smaller sibling only getting a two week suspension? Like shit man, that kid deserves a reward for taking care of his family like that

[@crossanddream2]

I'm sorry, so a kid should be awarded for ruining a kids face? I'm sorry yes he was a bully but it doesn't give the excuse to harm someone so badly they have to go to the hospital, he should've been given more punishment. He stood up for family sure but that is still serious and could greatly affect the kid way of life given the injuries he was given

[@renittaclark236]

No charges were filed against the boy who knocked the nephew’s teeth out because the nephew was the original bully and the charges he could get would put him behind bar again longer and he may not have been charged as a juvenile offender this time and the medical was paid by the boy’s parents

[@emetanti]

Im not saying thats the tools you get to dispose of a body, but thats what they are.

He must’ve been the golden child since he was far more aggressive and destructive once he finally got punished and being told NO for the first time in his life. The other brothers are more mature to realize how bad they were and only following the “leader” in his awful schemes. They sound like they’re trying their bests to become better. The GC is just a mini version of his parents. I also don’t care what OP said about excluding nephew from family stuff cause he damaged their trusts and care over the years. Why should they want him anywhere near them? I wouldn’t want him anywhere near me, nor my house. Hell, I wouldn’t want the parents over at all either.
