This is parentification. It's child ab-se and I'm shocked it's still not considered a crime.

[@Gabbz737NEW]

I think it's because it can be a grey area. While this is blatant parentification, where do you define the line between helping your fam and parentification? To write a law you have to define it in black and white. Situations differ. I definitely agree a law should be written, but how would you write such a law would be the question? Edit: I'm not a law maker but to my knowledge there's often supposed to be measurable/definable parameters. Somebody should definitely work on this but tbh right now the people in charge of lawmaking right now happen to be the same generation that don't see a problem with parentification.

[@Gojiradogzillagodzilla]

@@Gabbz737NEW Making your child give up their future to do your job as a parent is easily identifiable, and vastly different than having your kid help every now and then, without compromising their academic life.

[@carlschmitthenner7369]

@@Gabbz737NEWidk if you’ve noticed but there are so many laws that aren’t written in complete black and white most have gray areas hence the reason for lawyers. The law should be written to protect minors from parentification which would be any amount of care a child is required to give a sibling because of a parent that would harm the original child. And the law already defines harmful acts as anything that is bodily harm, mental harm, emotional harm, or any form of societal harm. So the law could be written but no one in the generation in control wants to do that.

Went through that shit with moms side of the family they all have the mindset that you should go over to your grandparents and help them ALL DAY AND HAVE NO LIFE OR STAY THE NIGHT AT ANYBODYS BUT THE GRANDPARENTS literally only one cousin and his family disagreed we were the only grandchildren which made it even worse literally the old hag convinced mom to move back here DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF HER HOUSE DIAGONALLY to be exact just so she could spy on us heck she wanted mom to drop me off at 13 years old while mom went to the grocery store to her house and how far was the store? It's about 5-10 minutes away even as an adult when she was dying she told my mom the only way I could stay in the stupid will was if I was over there everyday LITERALLY THIS IS WHAT MOM TOLD ME NOT MOM'S STUPID SIBLINGS WHO SHOULD HAVE BEEN WRITING OUT by that point I was going through alot of stuff MAINLY caused by that side of the family plus the affect of being bullied by them and the kids from school for years I had graduated by that point was finally hitting me hard to the point I barely left the house or even my room I think I suffered some kind of depression or my emotions were finally breaking down I don't know I barely even made it to her funeral well I was forced to go to it

Story 2: Even though he was emotionally abused, you still can’t deny how much he ruined what could’ve been between him and such an graceful woman. I mean, a lot of exes don’t usually get the chance at such conversations with the person who left them, so I hope he realizes how much he lost due to his naïveté. At the same time though, I’m glad he’s putting a step forward in a positive direction, and I hope he continues through that path. It may not be easy, but it’ll definitely make him ready for any other relationships to come.

[@sanddagger36]

She probably could see the signs that it was his family manipulating him, but at the end of the day she lived with him and spoke to him, not them. He was the one who said the hurtful things to her and drove her away. Him coming back and saying "surprise, i was being controlled by someone else like a puppet," would be hardly believable and he definitely does not deserve a second chance with the same woman. What he deserves is a second chance not to screw up his next relationship.

Yeah, letting go of it and moving on is the actual act of forgiveness, even if you'll never admit it to them or even yourself. People think it means no longer being mad about it, it just means you've gotten whatever closure and recovery you need to be able to walk away from it.

I like what the wife said. Forgiveness is overrated, especially when the perpetrator is not asking for it. That invites doormat behavior.

[@BrightElk]

This literally happened to my husband but it was much worse. His mother remarried and had another baby when he was 14. She lied to the government and claimed he was being home schooled but then didn’t follow up with the home schooling and instead just worked those hours while dumping her daughter into him. She justified this by paying him $30 a week saying she was paying him and that somehow made it okay. lol When he turned 18 he politely asked his mother to make arrangements for his little sister so he could get a job to save up and move out. His mother started sobbing hysterically and accused him of betraying his family. The next day he came home from job seeking and all his stuff including his computer were scattered on the lawn in the rain. His entire family took her side. It was her word against his. I think this is the only situation I’ve ever witnessed where a parent was angry that their child wanted to work. It was really strange. His grandparents then started watching his sister full time. She only saw her parents once a week. I’m not sure what his mother was expecting. That he would just live with them for the next 18 years to parent her child? Not his fault. She should have worn a condom! Oh well. She also called me a snake for poisoning him against her for pointing out to him that what his mother was doing was kind of screwed up.

That happened with both grandparents on my fathers side...though one was entirely due to other things, but my grandmothers parents decided that since she was the oldest girl, she couldn't go to school over it despite a lot of other things at the time.

Story 2: you were too dumb. You were weak for yourself and for your loved one.

I'm calling bullshit on the second story: "Hey Honey, you know your toxic father, brother and friends, all of whom have been a negative influence on your life and have done nothing but demean and lower you? They've all tried to make a pass at me." Seriously?

[@BrightElk]

yeah if that is real their marital communication is garbage and they weren’t going to last anyways. Why wouldn’t the wife tell her husband about the inappropriate behaviour?

[@ConfettiPanda]

@@BrightElk, It sounded to me that they went after her once they separated/divorced. In which case, why tell him, since he thought she was a cheater anyway. Just tell the pervs no, and get away from them.

[@missytanner3501]

The ex wife needs a restraining order against that family and go after them for harassment

[@skeetskeet7041]

Forgiveness is a tricky thing. You may never forgive the actions and the person they were, however, it sounds very much like OP, and his ex are in a much better place than they were. I would not be surprised if, after much-needed therapy, she told him that she does forgive him just not the actions he took. Forgiveness is not guaranteed and is only given when your actions change is usually saved as a comment for people who are not seeking true forgiveness, but are truly seeking a way out of accepting blame, OP is not one of those people and I hope he and his ex can remain on good terms, if not friendly ones. It’s clear they’re never getting back together, but she seems like a good positive effect in his life, so I hope they can remain cordial.

I wonder who qvtually wanna take op wife in the 2nd story....is kinda scary to think someone with that amount of obssession is capable of convincing old friends and family to do it....

[@treasuretv1]

She can't be out there by herself, though.

[@rayyf69]

Mother deleted the post? How?

[@premiumfruits3528]

I refuse to believe story 2 isn't actually written by a woman about her mom and sisters and friends and she gender swapped everyone to farm reddit reactions.

[@metalhead8363]

34 meters human

[@binsertbeeemojihere3832]

op in story two has some very tall family members and friends 🤔

[@fmg8284]

In the 2nd story said meters instead of m and i was really confused should recheck the text before

[@A-TALKING-TOASTER]

I don't get the lady in the second story she says she doesn't forgive him but does everything that a person does when they forgive someone

[@simoxeh]

I pay for the phone bill and I can see every text.

[@rocmsocem]

Honestly I don't think your mom has anyone's best interest in mind including her own, sounds like she needs counseling and to speak to a psychiatrist

[@tdexth]

what did they do when they had OP? And why can't they do it again for her brother? Also, clearly the mother does not want kid, and OP must be because of some nagging.

[@Rj-ij6ko]

Very few things sweeter than when a narcissist lets their mask slip and everyone see’s them for who they are.

37 and 40 meters 😂
