“A good man had to die for my happiness” That line sucker punches me every time.

[@Shokunin_spirit]

Truly! I watched the original episode only once, but I haven't been able to forget it. The weight of that line is immense.

[@frankdexter1110]

Hits like hammer the first time. And every time. It's shattering

The amount of empathy, love, kindness, and emotional maturity these original posters have gives me hope for humanity.

[@TuxedoMaskMusic]

yeah smosh rocks.

[@fairyqueentitania5080]

The second story has a sneaky extra impact too. In the beginning, he says he isn’t a parent to the daughter, then towards the end he goes “when I drop off my daughter”.

[@herpesshingles]

gofundme is currently at just over 196k for anyone wondering! the goal moved to 350k!

[@Vin_Venture896]

Maybe I’m a cynic but that whole story post just sounds like guerilla marketing to me. Companies create fake AITA or TIFU stories solely to subtly market products or services and this charity post absolutely reeks of it lol. Though if the guy originally posted receipts of his original donation them I’m happy for it to be false. Edit: Yup! The CEO goes be Vasanta Dasi, but that’s actually the alias of a man called Jeffery Dunam, who has previously created multiple other fraudulent charities under other aliases. One of the funniest was a charity the ‘Prema Food Foundation’, whose donation link literally just linked his personal PayPal lmao. He also claims to have been born in completely different places, one of his profiles states he was born in London, the other Miami. So yeah, seems like a scam that a lot of people have fallen for.

[@alyssatheexcellent]

“A ps5 can mend most relationships” cut to 2024 where a Reddit post is about a girlfriend smashing a ps4 with years of achievements on it to try to surprise her boyfriend with the new console. THAT WAS THE EXCEPTION TO THE RULE!!!!

[@bichenxoxo]

That's exactly what I was thinking 😂

[@IanOPadrick]

He did say most, not all

@@IanOPadrick I literally quoted it. It was a joke.

"Most" doesn't mean "all"

[@alyssatheexcellent]

@@ZekromAndYugiAndDrago123 it just made me think of the other episode! Fine. I’ll fix it. Sheesh.

[@RonnieStewartJr]

The stepdad who talks to the late dad is so heart-warming, and then Angela comes in like “but what did the dead guy say” 😂💀

[@dmealey01]

When Angela is being sincere, her extreme intelligence lights up the room. Don't get me wrong, I adore Goofball Angela as well.

[@pandamaci1515]

Her emotional intelligence and the way she compare things and draws connection between things is really admirable

[@joshuagrotting6077]

Durring the later part of this video I got a text from my wife letting me know my mother-in-law got her biopsy results back, and she’s cancer free! We were really worried because we all thought the cancer had returned. I definitely was already in an emotional place already because of this video, but that message really tipped the scales. Crying at work.. yay! Lol

[@smoshandgrab]

that’s so amazing!!!!!!! congratulations to your mother-in-law ❤️

[@mattiemiller640]

the mother and 14 year old son one makes me cry every time i hear it. my dad and his wife used to manipulate me to believe my mom was the "evil" one - the good cop bad cop dynamic. i didn't find out until i was 18 that my dad cheated on every woman he's been with (including the one he's currently married to). how'd i find out? i decided to move in with my dad after his manipulation, and my brother did too. i was dealing with mental health issues and was hospitalized, and my dad came with me and stuck by me the whole time. at one point my dad steps out to take a call from his girlfriend (now his wife). he comes back in and tells me that they are fighting and my brother is moving back with my mom. i was confused, but didn't think much of it because my dad specifically assured me that he didn't cheat on her. my dad calls my brother so i could talk to him since i wasn't able to have my phone at the time, and i answered. my brother is sobbing and yelling at me to come home with him. my brother does not cry. he says "did he tell you what he did? he hired call girls (h00kers) while he was working away." i was so upset. i ended up waiting to move out because my dad and his girlfriend got engaged two days later and i wanted to attend the small wedding in hopes that maybe they could fix things and i liked the school i attended. ended up moving back in with my mom a few months later because i pieced together how my dad treats women (including me) and his wife treated me horribly. two weeks after i moved out my dad and his wife came to visit his mom and my brother and i for Thanksgiving. he shows me a house he said he was thinking of going for. it's 16 hours (a few states) away. his wife tells me a few minutes later that they actually have the house and are moving that weekend. safe to say i cut contact after he didn't visit me or get me anything for my 18th birthday, and didn't come to my high-school graduation, and didn't help me with preparing for college. it sucksssss.

[@robynnestewart2054]

That’s such a sad story, I’m sorry that’s the birth dad you got saddled with. But I’m grateful you have a brother who was on your side and a part of your team.

[@mattiemiller640]

[@nosedondeelmarsetermina]

Most people aren't fit to be parents. That being said, it's not a parent's job to morally educate a child (referring to the video). Their job is to support the kid no matter what and do everything they possibly can to satisfy the kid's wants. If your kid wants to pull pranks like the kid in the story, you support him and don't make him feel like shit and embarrass him. At the end of the day as a parent your blood connection matters more than any moral principle that you have. You take your kid's side no matter what they do because they are your kid. But your dad obviously didn't support you, he cared more about himself. I'm just addressing what you said about the video

[@kimkardashi-un2.051]

​@@nosedondeelmarsetermina you are actually insane if you have this mindset, please don't ever become a parent I beg

[@nosedondeelmarsetermina]

@@kimkardashi-un2.051 i like how you didn't answer with an actual argument just a pseudo put down, but I'll explain more anyway When you try and teach/force your kid a morality, you stifle their ability to decide for themselves who they want to be. I say support their wants because that is their way of saying who they want to be. We literally have phrases like "that's how I was raised" which can be good or bad but it points out that change is made harder because of the lack of autonomy in that moral upbringing. If later they regret those wants, that's something they have to live with. We all regret that we did or didn't do certain things, but it's much more relaxing to know that WE made the mistakes and not that the environment around us led us to feel a certain way, do certain things etc that lead us to an action that we didn't really even want. I might tell the kid that I disagree and give them my perspective, but it will be clear to them that I support them no matter what, and that I support them more than anyone else. If I were to embarrass them it would mean I am putting someone else's well being over theirs . My job is to be a supportive advisor and to help them find themselves, and when you force your morality on a kid you're not doing that. It doesn't matter what the moral principle might be, you have to let them decide for themselves without being made to feel that you are going to take someone else's side not theirs. Loyalty really matters in the parent child relationship and the lack of it creates a barrier.

[@AnnaLastname]

I tend to only remember the ones that make me pissed so this was a really nice remembrance of all the wholesome times thanks

[@JosefinaQB]

It’s crazy how easy it is for anyone to do what happened in the first story, yet people like the first manager are the ones with the power to make the change the second manager chose to make

[@MG-hz7wi]

When I was a teenager, I knew a 16 year old kid whose 19 year old brother was his legal guardian. The 19 year old made sure the 16 year old went to school, and he worked very hard to make sure his little brother didn't go to foster care. They never discussed why they didn't live their parents, and nobody asked.

[@amyduncker4097]

As a widow, that second story hits me in the feels. I'm in a situationship now and for my late husband's birthday, he asked if he could take me out to dinner to celebrate and that really got me ❤😭❤️

[@GuineaPigEveryday]

32:07 that sounds exactly like that one scene from Past Lives, where the guy questions whether his wife would’ve ended up with someone else had this or that happened. And she answers ‘that’s not how that works’. The OP in this reddit story just has so much emotional maturity that even faced with some dipshit comment he responds with wisdom. Of course any circumstance or coincidence might’ve turned out different, your partner might’ve ended up with someone else in some parallel timeline, that doesn’t detract from the love you share with them now

[@SigDel676]

19:30 the cut back to Angela laying on Amanda is comedy gold there haha

[@theyoshow]

"This is better than WAP pizza" 😂

[@GuineaPigEveryday]

The mom in the story is easily the most amazing mother, and honestly so completely relatable. You never realise until you’re living with one or the other parent what sort of people they really are, and how lucky you are to have the actually mature emotionally-sound parent rather than a ‘cool fun’ one. When I was a teenager, and we all lived together, there was a cool dad who took us to the movie theatre and out on trips and to get smoothies or whatever, and the more strict working mom. But already back then there were days where they had such intense fights, my dad would have a whole meltdown over some minor perceived insult or smash stuff or scream or just my mom would have to leave the house, one time he was so angry he was beating down the door yelling about beating my mom up. Every vacation his stress would build up where he had meltdowns too and he’d have to go on his own, or we’d be stuck in a camper with him yelling. Most times my mom would go to us crying how it was all her fault. But back then it was somewhat manageable. Then when we moved back to our own country, my sis went to uni, my mom went to work in a neighbouring country and I was left alone with my dad, in a country i barely recognised and failing my grades and then with a new dog that stressed my dad out even more, he had no job so he’d just laze around. It got extremely bad the way he’d freak out over anything, every day was walking over eggshells/on thin ice, anything could make him erupt and have a tantrum. It was terrifying every night after one time he burst into my room screaming dragging me down the stairs throwing stuff at me. Anyways, point is, I moved in with my mom, and while she was busy a lot of the day, she was the best parent I could hope for, all you need at a young age is stability. I had no real friends and found school tough so I really just needed to get home and have a safe space. And a parent who was actually secure and who had actual self-esteem and a job they enjoyed, who didn’t take their anger out on someone else. If I stayed with my dad I’d be someone else entirely, and I can’t imagine what that kid in the story might’ve ended up like.

[@kaitlynnshriver4984]

I love how the people who worry the most about parenting ends up being great parents

[@CurlyCrowie]

The harsh mother is just the best. We need more parents like her. He will appreciate it when he is an adult. Coolnis not a sign of a good parent. Keeping him accountable for what he did.... THAT'S a good parent. Too many parents are not being parents but their kid's friend and don't have the kid's best interest at heart by trying to be on their level.

[@fernglade]

I love that Angela was there for so many of these

[@JosefinaQB]

The second story should be a movie or smthn would have the whole world crying

this episode really made me believe in souls. a person that grew up with abusive parents didn’t learn how to be a good person through them, they just have a great soul to be able to know and accomplish what they did for others.

[@theimprovedbore550]

i hope they do more wholesome/feel-good episodes more often, they're the only ones i consistently rewatch in their entirety lol

[@iliveonatropicalisland6086]

That son of the woman of the shitty ex really needed that experience with his dad tho. Sure its hard to deal with, but he really needed the hard lesson

[@angelicamanjarres3179]

That brother deserves a freaking gofundme page.

[@kissfanatic2654]

For most of my childhood, it was just my mom and I, dad passed away when I turned six, he never cheated on my mom. The biggest things I look back on in shame the most are the times I really mistreated my mom. I was raised spoiled by my grandparents, all of us were but they went more with me and I think at times made it seem like my mom was the bad one. In my teenage years, especially 10th to 12th grade, I was angry a lot. Granted most teenagers are. But I would get into arguments with my mom most mornings for something small and meaningless. But EVERY time we did, I always went to the bathroom during 1st or 2nd period, call her work and apologize to her. I’m 26 now she is still my biggest supporter with my life and job. And I’m gonna preach this with no shame, real men are mamas boys!!

I’m not joking, there’s soooo much in that amazing mother story that I think it could genuinely make an arthouse limited series… it’s incredible.

[@adamvancil2311]

Ooh perfect, i was already in my feels

[@AshiTar]

Thank you for this! I always like when they slide in one wholesome story among the crazy and shitty ones

[@a_dusty_book]

The third one actually made me cry. My stepdad would also leave us for days at a time and would fight with my mom a lot, but my mom would check on me or apologize the next day because I'd have to hear it. They recently got divorced and it was the best decision she could have made for sure. I'm so lucky to have my mama, and i tell her that all the time. Im gonna go hug her and tell her I love her because she has been the most amazing supportive mother in the world for me and I am forever grateful to her. Go tell your family you love them if you uave any, even if you're not blood-related. Tell your found family you love them too!

[@mirroredhour]

Last story reminds me of the other story they read about the sister who raised her siblings by being a sex worker. That hit me in the feels just as hard as the superhero brother story. Older siblings like them deserve everything good that this world has to offer. EDIT: actually not sure if smosh did read it or not but it's another tearjerker reddit story

It leaves wounds and scars theyll bring long after leaving that scenario and my heart bleeds for him everyday. Hearing someone else go through it, man. Just fucking sobbing.

[@comrade_iron]

The stepdad called her his daughter at the end of the story.❤❤❤

[@Zen_Phantasio]

That last Reddit story had me in bits, I'm the eldest of six in a toxic household of emotional, mental and physical abusers, my mom and step-dad. My youngest brother receives most of the physical, besides me and my other brother most of the time when we do upset either my mom or step-dad, which isn't often. I feel like an asshat sometimes because I'm trying to get out and move in with my partner, but as I am, I think about all the hard fights that were caused, some of them caused simply because I have anger issues and cannot stand to watch things like this happen and everyone saying there's nothing we can do, and sometimes it happens simply because of miscommunication. I remember the first time I was physically harmed by my step-dad, I was eleven and he had enough over me and my brother fighting over a video game, this was one of the rare times that I didn't go with my mom and grandfather to visit my grandmother in the hospital... Everyone sided with him. I remember when he came back drunk and him and my mom entered my room and he almost r@ped me... My mom stood and watched and I didn't sleep that night after. I remember the last fist fight I had, we stayed in a hotel, and because of miscommunication he almost hit my disabled grandma, who by the way, raised all of us kids practically, and I stood in the way... I got the blame and we were kicked out, almost ending up on the street. What I'm trying to say is, I can't take it, I have always had a bad mental state because of this and many other things, so I'm not surprised that I wasn't as strong as that brother, but i feel so much GUILT. I feel guilty at the thought of finally being happy and away from all of this, because then my brother takes my place in taking up all my responsibilities. I have sacrificed education, my happiness, and my life outside of the house for everyone because as the oldest with a mother who doesn't do anything, it's hard. And it's also hard when everything I do goes unacknowledged by anyone until I have a big mental breakdown, only for my siblings to call me "the devil" five seconds later and be all over my mom with kindness. I really dunno what to do anymore at this point, and I feel like an asshole

My exes mum, always takes his side despite knowing that he lies, cheats, abuses women. She even knows that i fell pregnant while his other gf was 8 months pregnant with their second child and that her and her kids still have no idea my daughter exists (she's now 3). I also had to threaten him with cms, to get child support, he said he would only give it to me if i got back with him and let him live with us and he doesn't even give me as much as he should. I woild be so disappointed and embarrassed if i was his mum and i would have disowned him and kicked him out years ago. He will never change. I honestly think that if i stayed with him any longer, either of us or both (me and ny daughter) would be dead by now. I was with him for 14 years, on and off.
