So the facts of the car being the families, the sister taking the car and then offering to let him drive would easily out weigh the fact that he was the driver.

I don't think this has anything to do with the healthcare system in America. In America if you were injured driving a car, your health insurance does not cover that.

I can't stand health insurance and I can't stand that it is just pure luck whether you have good health insurance or bad health insurance depending on your employer. But as far as the story goes, the car insurance company is going to look at the situation is basically car theft.

What she got from my dad was not exactly the money, it was the stability, the money is part of it but not only, back then it signaled he was a hard worker and responsible (too bad it doesn't anymore). She's not even interested in spending his money in frivolous things. When I was young, this realization kind of scared me as in "my mother doesn't truly love my father", but as an adult you learn that "earth-shattering love" isn't everything.

But do you think her husbands type was accountants just getting by who are half his age? Or did the way she looked have something to do with that? Would he have dated any average looking person in her position? People all have their own motivations for doing things, their own intentions. People with great intentions do horrible things and people with horrible intentions do great things. And the results of those situations don’t take into account how good or bad one’s intentions were. Disregarding all intent, OP is in a happy marriage with a child on the way with someone she admits she’d do anything for, and he treats her well and respects her. How can we judge either of these people making this happy union and family based on something as immaterial as intention? If they were shit to eachother, maybe it would matter. But a net positive has happened here all because one person wanted monetary comfort and another wanted a hot girlfriend a year ago. So?

It was an editing mistake not caught before the video was posted. It happens sometimes and he has apologised! (pinned comment)

[@NEPAAlchey]

That last story is a great example of why I will never have kids.

[@darkunykorn404]

"I'm a gold digger" Good for you, lady. Nothing to be ashamed of. My dad got involved with one (because hot, blond, played at being domestic/submissive, etc., whereas my mom was always very independent and straightforward). He was idiotic enough to move all his worldly possessions to her name (because she didn't want *me* to inherit/have rights over anything obv) and in the end she left him after cheating on him with a church pastor. Other than the cheating, I applaud her for being cutthroat. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. The mom person warned him, he didn't listen, he lost everything and hasn't recovered since, and that was over 34 years ago :)

[@memes4life26]

This sounds like victim blaming

[@elenaavery5328]

The last story was intense. The sudden cut to "this video is sponsored by express VPN" was like comic relief. It made me laugh.

[@machete746]

I'm glad not everyone is trashing on rSlash for this editing mistake! It cheered me up too cause the suddenness just made me laugh a bit which is better than just leaving on a low note

[@carmendoesstuff8347]

Oh my the transition between the last tragic story and the vpn spooked me

[@tully6648]

Third story: (My mom can stay with me but I use her old rules) This is the most perfect way to handle this situation. It's only too bad that it likely didn't bring about any epiphanies for that thing that acts like a human woman. She didn't even deserve OP's consideration. I've seen a lot of posts of horrible situations teens live in on r/insaneparents, and for every one of them I hope the parents wind up like the OP of this story.

[@tultiden2040]

"So because of the crash, my sister is paralyzed, her boyfriend is dead, and my family's finances are in total shambles" "Anyway, let's talk about today's sponsor"

[@primrosevale1995]

I love how the last story just immediately goes from “my sister ruined my family’s life” to “ever heard of ExpressVPN?”

[@TRAPBBN]

I almost fell laughing when he started talking about express VPN after one of the saddest stories ever

[@somaplay]

Rslash the last story was soooo heartbreaking and at the end without any pause or comment you just go "this podcast is sponsored by blablabla" Come on man, it was really inconsiderate.

[@TheLifewithlouis13]

I think though, there is a difference between a gold digger and a sugar daddy relationship. Usually gold digger is used when the partner (going to use man for the context of the story) is going after the man and he doesn't know it. So in that case, is it really consenting? He might have thought she genuinely cared in those first six months, but was being lead on. Usually sugar daddy relationships are the ones where both parties consent. Partner get the goods, the man shells the cash, conditions are met, everyone is happy. That's just my first impulse though, I could be talked into a different view. Clearly they are happy now so it's just nit picky, haha.

[@XolTheGreat]

I may sound like a terrible person for this but the harsh tonal change of when you said "my sister's paralyzed but I can't look at her since she ruined the family" into "this has been sponsored by express VPN" with how smooth it was I couldn't help but burst out laughing

[@MetallicPetals]

The "gold digger" sounds like she loves the man, that ain't a gold digger, that's a lover with money tbh

[@luvondarox]

Oh-kay, that ad at the end was like an emotional whiplash or something. 0.5 seconds between story and ad would make a world of difference. 🤣

Oh gosh. I shouldn't be listening to these while I'm sick. Those thwarted robbery stories in the beginning...I laughed so hard I broke into a coughing fit.

Next time rslash reads a Trueoffmychest post: “The time I was nearly killed by an axe and why I’m no longer breaking into houses”

[@SkyEcho751]

I LOVE the to burglary/robbery talks, first dude probably quit after nearly getting hit with an Ax, and second dude had no idea how to escape the situation of having the wrestle a laptop away from a naked girl. And that OP directly giving their abusive mother the exact same conditions the OP had to live under is great.

[@TetraSky]

first story's short update, is that he didn't confront her yet and he's getting his legal bases covered first. I'm guessing he doesn't want to lose half his stuff for her.

[@TheShyForeigner]

That tonal whiplash from the last story to the sponsor nearly dislocated my jaw.

[@tatsuo91]

That girl never was a goldigger, she found a guy with money and went for it, but before that she struggled, she didnt have any relation with rich men before, so she is not a goldigger

So... as long as a woman has had a relationship with a rich man for his wealth for a first time, she's not a golddigger? I'm not getting it?

[@MightyZaybolt]

That sponsor gave me whiplash, Jesus

[@daniellepaszkiewicz1714]

Omg my "father" (in air quotes bc he doesn't deserve to be called that) feel for a phone scam that took out $3.5k from the joint account he had with my stepmom while she was at work. Needless to say, that was straw that broke the camel's back, among other things, and she's in the process of getting a divorce.

[@OuchingTigerLimpingDragon]

Good for her! Are you going with her?

[@daniellepaszkiewicz1714]

@@OuchingTigerLimpingDragon oh hell yeah. He did this kinda sh¡t to my mom when I was a kid, so now I'm supporting my stepmom 20-odd years later. Plus, since the a$$hole doesn't want to take some of the dogs (that HE brought into the pack, mind you), I'm emotionally supporting my stepmom and helping with our pack.

The transition to the ad was such whiplash 😭

[@survivedandthriving]

Part of the problem with the scammers is that once someone falls for a scam they go on a list that is sold to other scammers. Scammers know that if someone is able to be scammed once, they are more likely to be scammed more times. I highly recommend the scam-baiting channels: Kitboga and Jim Browning. They show how scarily clever they are in pulling people into their scams, as well as breakdowns on how the scams are run, how to dismantle them, etc.

[@theblitz9]

Sadly, that girl who fell for the bitcoin scam is ripe fruit for future scammers. Scammers share their victims' details. She will eventually get a call from "The FBI" offering to help get her money back. All she has to do is pay a small feel. Known as a "Refund Scam".

[@royallynick]

I can understand that ladies guilt but it sounds like they have a genuine loving relationship now. I hope their baby grows up happy and healthy!

[@annika5893]

First story. I would add to rSlash's suggestion about name dropping. Continue with "his wife already knows, I told her". Scams and old people: I'm so glad that mom asks me a lot if something is a scam or not and trusts my judgement on it.

[@brawlinharry6461]

that last story isnt about the sister. its about how cruel of a latestage capitalistic hellscape the usa is.

[@princessarialeer]

The “Gold Digger” deserved her love story. Relationships start one way or another, and it’s really sweet that she is not only comfortable with him, but she is in LOVE. Sometimes, love develops later into the relationship and that’s okay!

[@devlynandlink]

How do you know it’s a scam? They said it wasn’t. Ya a scammer is just gonna come clean when you ask if they’re scamming you

The abusive mother getting a taste of her own medicine story was glorious! I missed the beginning, so i thought this person was making these rules for her kid and this was an r/aita. Me, waking up from a nap, hearing these rules and thinking "what would my kid have to do for me to abuse them to this extent? Holy s**t! Omg it keeps getting worse!!! OP STOP!!!" Then she said those were the things she went through as a kid and i was like "then shouldnt you know not to put your kid through that??" Then i hear it was the wench who put her through all that and i was like "ohhh high five OP that was brilliant. Clearly the conditions arent THAT bad if she did it to you for years and didnt think CPS wouldnt take you away." I love when people get a taste of their own medicine and can't handle it. Suddenly the rules are too harsh. Suddenly its unfair. Hilarious to hear them validate your feelings without even realizing it.

RSlash, could you please include links to the original reddit posts in future video descriptions? Some stories are worth looking up to check for updates if any, see more comments, etc.

[@dognose8518]

im still stuck on the last story about the legality of it. how could the the bf family sue ops when HE took the car and crashed it. i feel like thats the equivalent to a burglar injuring themselves in someone’s house and the home owners have to pay medical bills.

[@RealCoolstriker64]

I almost don’t believe the last story. I have literally no idea how the parents can be liable for some boyfriend stealing and crashing the car.

[@marshmallowmountains4636]

My dad used to always *almost* fall for phone call scams, but I've luckily always caught it in time. Now he's more wise to scams. I basically told him this to help with some of them: Did you call this business first, or did they call you? If they called you first, it's a scam. Dell or whatever aren't going to call you about problems you have because they don't care.

[@lissaw4]

It's pretty amazing that so many people have zero issues admitting that they'd gleefully admit they'd be equally abusive to others. Go to therapy to heal from abuse and trauma, go no contact and live your life happily. I promise it's more worth it, than being equally abusive. You just make yourself into the bad guy and intentionally miserable. For anyone that is going to claim I have no idea what I'm talking about or have no understanding of the pain involved in abuse: I'm a CS trafficking survivor (my own mother being responsible for this), grew up in severe abuse, had a mother who tried to end my life multiple times, had to get restraining orders, hide my location and much more. I get it. However, being abusive for revenge is still exactly that... Abusive. It will rot your mental health, growth and accomplishments.

I manage a credit union and have had older members come in with scammers on the phone asking for them to send wires, apply for loans, etc. and can immediately tell its a scam but they don't want to hear its a scam because that would mean they are stupid for falling for it. I truly believe it's a pride thing.

That lack of transition (or lack thereof) between the last story and the ad made me think I blacked out for a few seconds or something. “My sister ruined our livesThisVideoIsSponsoredBy…” Like, dude. Give some final thoughts or put a more lighthearted story at the end. Yikes.

[@adamb89]

That burglar story reminded me of something that happened. I was maybe 18, and was in the basement of my parents home doing laundry. A bat came out of nowhere and started flying around. I made a split second decision to swat at it with my mesh laundry bag, thinking I could capture it like a net and bring it outside....but what actually happened is I broke one of its wings, and it ended up flopping around on the ground screaming in pain. I felt awful but I used a broom to sweep it onto a newspaper, folded the newspaper over, then smashed it with a hammer. I still feel bad for that poor little bat. I tried to help, I really did!

[@RoseRegent]

Also just to say that mess up at the end actually made me laugh. Its like super serious to “Hey! This video is sponsored by”
