In the comments, and OP says, well, 32 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,440 Speaker 2: last year he started bringing a boy around, and it 33 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:14,639 Speaker 2: was obvious they were dating, to the point I figured 34 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,880 Speaker 2: that he knew, I knew, and it wasn't a big 35 00:01:16,880 --> 00:01:20,840 Speaker 2: deal to anyone. Well, apparently I was wrong. After school yesterday, 36 00:01:20,920 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 2: he and his boyfriend came up to me and said 37 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:25,480 Speaker 2: there was something really important they needed to tell me. 38 00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:28,440 Speaker 2: My son said that they were dating and had been 39 00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:31,560 Speaker 2: for a year. Well, I was surprised that he wasn't 40 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 2: aware I knew and was a bit thrown off. 41 00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,440 Speaker 1: It's just like you are not sneaky. 42 00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, I thought we all knew that. My mouth moved 43 00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 2: faster than my brain and I said, well, that's pretty 44 00:01:43,640 --> 00:01:47,680 Speaker 2: eff and gay. Now I thought it was peak comedy 45 00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 2: since it is. 46 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,360 Speaker 1: In fact, Kay, Hey, there's humor in the truth. 47 00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 2: I calls it how I sees it. However, I understand 48 00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 2: using the word gay in that way gives it a 49 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,320 Speaker 2: very negative undertone and the mouth faster than brain comment. 50 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:03,880 Speaker 1: Oh but see, that's what makes the joke funny, is 51 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:06,400 Speaker 1: that it's you flip it around on its head, and. 52 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:07,520 Speaker 3: Flip it around. 53 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,079 Speaker 1: Now my son and I are what do you get. 54 00:02:15,440 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 2: Now? My son and I are usually pretty edgy with 55 00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 2: our humor. This being fairly tame for the stuff we 56 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:23,000 Speaker 2: joke about. Well, probably not appropriate for the situation. It 57 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 2: wasn't our norm or a conversation between us. However, he 58 00:02:26,600 --> 00:02:30,520 Speaker 2: and his boyfriend were very very upset and left. I'm 59 00:02:30,560 --> 00:02:32,560 Speaker 2: probably the ale, but I thought I would check and 60 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:34,120 Speaker 2: see if y'all had some advice on what I can 61 00:02:34,160 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 2: say to fix it. He currently won't respond to my 62 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 2: text or calls. 63 00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,359 Speaker 1: No, you're not really. I don't think you're the a hole. 64 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,520 Speaker 1: I just think they expected it to be like a 65 00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,720 Speaker 1: really deep thing, and you're like, I've known this for 66 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:47,800 Speaker 1: a long time. This is not news. 67 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 2: I think you just go to him like, I don't know. 68 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 2: You find him, track him down, corner room, but in 69 00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 2: the closet, put him back, find him and you sit 70 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,200 Speaker 2: him down. You say, hey, we all have known for 71 00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 2: a while. I reacted with the and I'm sorry about that, 72 00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,760 Speaker 2: and then you just kind of comfort him and you're like, 73 00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:05,280 Speaker 2: you know what, of course, I'll always love you and 74 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:09,399 Speaker 2: I support you, and just explain why you reacted that way, 75 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,960 Speaker 2: what your intention was, and then also kind of support 76 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,160 Speaker 2: and just give him that reassurance. 77 00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, you say, I'm sorry, son, I've already processed that 78 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,080 Speaker 1: and diluted it into humor. 79 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 3: Son. You know about the incognito mode. 80 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:25,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's kind of creepy to me. I did not 81 00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: expect this to gain so much traction. It's been intimidating. Anyway. 82 00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 2: Here is a small update. He's at his grandparents house, 83 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:33,800 Speaker 2: which I knew. He told him to tell me.

Thank you for your responses. I 86 00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:43,360 Speaker 2: really appreciate it. And we have got some comments. 87 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:44,360 Speaker 1: From some people who aren't funny. 88 00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, from some unfunny people. Comment says, you're the ale 89 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,120 Speaker 2: over the wording.

But your son needed 94 00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: support more than humor in the grand scheme of things, 95 00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 2: though I was expecting much worse from the title. I 96 00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 2: think you just apologize and explain that you meant it 97 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:06,680 Speaker 2: in a humorous way and that you fully accept him 98 00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,520 Speaker 2: and his partner. You and your son will be fine. 99 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 2: I agree, that's exactly what I said. 100 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:10,960 Speaker 1: So I agree. 101 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:13,680 Speaker 2: Oh, he says, I suppose it is a little clickbaiting 102 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,839 Speaker 2: when you consider how other parents react, how boring parents react, 103 00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 2: and they say, Oh, I'm here for your son, boring, lame, 104 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:23,640 Speaker 2: very boring. Oh I'm here for you son, I'll always 105 00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:27,640 Speaker 2: love you. Tired.

Yeah, that's gay. 107 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,120 Speaker 2: I'm clearly outnumbered. But I think that the ahle just 108 00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 2: somebody that made a joke at an inappropriate time. Who hasn't. 109 00:04:37,600 --> 00:04:38,479 Speaker 2: You'll live and you'll learn. 110 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,479 Speaker 1: I can't imagine if I was that kid. I feel 111 00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:44,159 Speaker 1: like that would crack the tension so hard I would 112 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,160 Speaker 1: just have to laugh. 113 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,800 Speaker 2: I think that this kid was already very nervous and 114 00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:51,480 Speaker 2: already had a lot of kind of tension and fear 115 00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 2: about this moment. Yeah, and then when you don't get 116 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 2: the exact reaction that you want, from your parents. I 117 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,800 Speaker 2: think it's like, oh yeah, so I'll think it'll be fine. 118 00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,000 Speaker 1: I mean, I would hope he realized that was like 119 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,039 Speaker 1: a joke. Yeah, but like I'll, oh, if my dad's 120 00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:07,680 Speaker 1: like making a joke about it, like clearly he kind 121 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,640 Speaker 1: of It's not like he doesn't support me. 122 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,720 Speaker 2: I think I think he just needs a second. 123 00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:12,080 Speaker 1: Yeah. 124 00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 3: I think you needed to start off with I support you, 125 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 3: but also that's kind of. 126 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,560 Speaker 1: Yeah you go oh oh no, Homo, Wait, you're serious. 127 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,000 Speaker 2: You clearly don't judge your kid for his identity, and 128 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:25,720 Speaker 2: I assume he just wanted to show acceptance by breaking 129 00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,479 Speaker 2: the tension with an attempt at humor. Just apologize for 130 00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:30,920 Speaker 2: joking during a moment that was clearly important to him, 131 00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,479 Speaker 2: and ask how you can best support him moving forward. 132 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 2: Common says, I'm glad you're supportive of him, but you're 133 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 2: the able to hear my guy, learn how to read 134 00:05:37,400 --> 00:05:41,040 Speaker 2: the room, oh, he says, unfortunately, and inability to shut 135 00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:43,000 Speaker 2: my mouth when I see a joke is a trait 136 00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,600 Speaker 2: that's been passed down my family for generations. 137 00:05:45,839 --> 00:05:46,440 Speaker 1: Can't relate. 138 00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:49,600 Speaker 2: Definitely something I need to work on. Honestly, all these 139 00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:51,840 Speaker 2: comments are the same, so we're just going to get 140 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:56,920 Speaker 2: into Update nine months later, that's a full baby amount later. 141 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 1: They had a gaby. 142 00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 2: That's a when you come on as gay and then 143 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,120 Speaker 2: you need nine months. 144 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:03,320 Speaker 1: Do you talk to your dad again? 145 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:08,560 Speaker 2: Kind of missilest update nine months later. I tried to 146 00:06:08,560 --> 00:06:10,880 Speaker 2: make an update on my post where I said it's 147 00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,440 Speaker 2: pretty if gay when my son said he was dating 148 00:06:13,440 --> 00:06:16,640 Speaker 2: his male friend, but it was auto deleted, and feeling disheartened, 149 00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 2: I didn't try again and kind of forgot about this post. 150 00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 2: I recently saw a slightly changed version of my story 151 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,080 Speaker 2: on TikTok and it reminded me of the post. Things 152 00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,359 Speaker 2: got interesting for a minute, so I'll try to recount 153 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,080 Speaker 2: what happened to the best of my memory. So my 154 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:33,240 Speaker 2: son and I good. Turns out, he and his boyfriend 155 00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:35,520 Speaker 2: came out to the boyfriend's parents first, and it was 156 00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 2: not a positive experience a. 157 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: So they were primed for the negative. 158 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,240 Speaker 2: Yeah. They were like, there, we only have two options, 159 00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:47,919 Speaker 2: really supportive or like really unsupportive, and they didn't quite 160 00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:52,600 Speaker 2: compute the middle ground. He thought they could come out 161 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:54,560 Speaker 2: to me and get a better reaction, But then I 162 00:06:54,600 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 2: made the joke and it was all just bad. 163 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 1: Timing. 164 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 2: We discussed everything soon after the incident, and I reassure 165 00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 2: them they have my full support. Now, I wasn't thrilled 166 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,760 Speaker 2: to hear how boyfriend's parents reacted, and the way they 167 00:07:05,800 --> 00:07:08,040 Speaker 2: talked to my son made me see red. But he 168 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 2: asked me not to do or say anything to make 169 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 2: it worse, and I listened. Where the small craziness happened 170 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 2: is when he told my ex his mother about boyfriend's parents' reactions. Now, 171 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:20,080 Speaker 2: my ex is a great mother, and other than the 172 00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,920 Speaker 2: fact that she couldn't keep her legs closed for more 173 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:26,520 Speaker 2: than twenty minutes during her twenties, she was a great partner. 174 00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: Oh. 175 00:07:30,520 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 2: Now, she's also the kind of white trash that would 176 00:07:33,280 --> 00:07:36,040 Speaker 2: walk out in pj's to fight in the street. A 177 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,920 Speaker 2: very vivid image of your ex wife. 178 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:41,800 Speaker 1: That is the white trash street fight uniform. 179 00:07:41,920 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 2: She's scary, and for some reason I love that about her. Anyways, 180 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:47,440 Speaker 2: once she heard what boyfriend's parents said, she told my 181 00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:49,840 Speaker 2: son and I she'll take care of it. She goes, 182 00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,120 Speaker 2: she goes, don't worry, I'll take care of it, cracks knuckles, 183 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 2: and then she's wrapping her hands. 184 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:57,640 Speaker 1: Puts on her cookie monster pajama pants. 185 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:58,560 Speaker 3: Sorry, chat ready? 186 00:07:58,600 --> 00:07:59,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, there we go. 187 00:07:59,400 --> 00:07:59,680 Speaker 1: That's her. 188 00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 2: She was wrapping her hands. 189 00:08:01,960 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: Oh sorry, I was terrible. I cracked the wrong place. 190 00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 2: We tried to talk her out of it, but she 191 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,360 Speaker 2: drove over to their house in her SUV, parked it 192 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 2: in the middle of their lawn and screamed profanities and 193 00:08:12,440 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 2: challenged them to fight her. 194 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:17,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's making it worse mine, making it worse Ah, 195 00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:18,560 Speaker 1: you're making it worse mine. 196 00:08:18,680 --> 00:08:21,120 Speaker 2: Now they're like, ah, this little gay boy's got a 197 00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,520 Speaker 2: crazy mom. They, of course did not, instead doing what 198 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 2: most people would and call the police from the safety 199 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,480 Speaker 2: of their home. She was arrested, which only enraged her more. 200 00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:31,200 Speaker 2: When I picked her up from the station, I had 201 00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 2: never seen her so angry, but she also started hitting 202 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,040 Speaker 2: on me during her raging. He was effing weird. In 203 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:38,840 Speaker 2: the end, my son was able to get her to 204 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 2: agree to leave them alone when she was sued for 205 00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,480 Speaker 2: the damage to the lawn. I thought lives were going 206 00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:45,880 Speaker 2: to end, but it seems like she just pat it off. 207 00:08:45,960 --> 00:08:48,520 Speaker 2: There is a little bit left to this story. Any 208 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 2: final thoughts. 209 00:08:49,520 --> 00:08:52,160 Speaker 1: You're good dad, Yeah, you're a good dad. I wonder 210 00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:56,520 Speaker 1: how intense the response was immediately when you cracked that 211 00:08:56,600 --> 00:08:58,559 Speaker 1: joke and then you couldn't get out that. It's like, 212 00:08:58,600 --> 00:09:01,520 Speaker 1: wait no, but I do. I'm sorry, I support you. Yeah. 213 00:09:01,600 --> 00:09:03,480 Speaker 2: It feels a bit like they were like, we're out 214 00:09:03,480 --> 00:09:03,800 Speaker 2: of here. 215 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:07,320 Speaker 1: You're just like, how dare you?

But because you 221 00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 3: said that does happen. 222 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,719 Speaker 2: It happens. You explained yourself. It's fine, but there is 223 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 2: a little bit left to this story. Other than that, 224 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,720 Speaker 2: everything has been relatively chill. Boyfriend moved in with me 225 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:31,800 Speaker 2: and my son. That's amazing. Every once in a while, 226 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 2: one will go to hold the other's hand or going 227 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,080 Speaker 2: for a quick kiss and that, and the other will go, 228 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:37,720 Speaker 2: that's effing gay. 229 00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:41,400 Speaker 1: See they took notes. 230 00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:46,040 Speaker 2: That's funny, that's humor. So that's a fun reminder of 231 00:09:46,080 --> 00:09:48,280 Speaker 2: my blunder. Lol. It'll be off to college soon and 232 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,280 Speaker 2: we'll be moving in with my ex since she's closer 233 00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,880 Speaker 2: to the college.

I hardly ever post, 341 00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:37,640 Speaker 1: but names, ages, and genders are always a little different, 342 00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,840 Speaker 1: so no one can identify me. Apologies for the formatting. 343 00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,800 Speaker 1: Every two to three years since twenty sixteen, I thirty 344 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,200 Speaker 1: nine female have taken my sister forty two and her 345 00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:49,800 Speaker 1: kids fourteen female, seventeen female, twenty two male on vacation 346 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 1: to Universal Studios for Florida.

This is relevant. Later, 349 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 1: around the time that we started going on these family 350 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:05,840 Speaker 1: vacations that I've paid for, my sister graduated with her 351 00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: BA in social work. Since graduating, her personality started to 352 00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:13,280 Speaker 1: change and people friends and family started noticing, but no 353 00:15:13,360 --> 00:15:16,160 Speaker 1: one ever said anything. It was just weird. Over the 354 00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:19,040 Speaker 1: last two years or so, she's made new friends around 355 00:15:19,040 --> 00:15:21,640 Speaker 1: her age that she's grown very close to. During the 356 00:15:21,680 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: same time, her behavior has gotten progressively worse, to the 357 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,720 Speaker 1: point where she thinks she's always right and won't listen 358 00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 1: to reason or logic. 359 00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:30,240 Speaker 3: Class fifteen. 360 00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: Yeah, this is not a teen. 361 00:15:32,160 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 2: This is her sister, classic oldest sister. 362 00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,920 Speaker 1: Classic forty two year old sister with. 363 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 2: The beasts O sister behavior with a team with. 364 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: A BA in social work class just a classassic. She 365 00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,560 Speaker 1: also says that her new friends are more her family 366 00:15:46,680 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: over her own siblings and mother. My sister is my 367 00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: father's golden child, so she can do no wrong in 368 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 1: her eyes. I don't think her friends like me very much, 369 00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: but I couldn't care less about them. It's important to 370 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: note here per timeline, that my nephew wanted to decrease 371 00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: his medication doses and was able to do so with 372 00:16:04,800 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: his doctor's approval. He tried to throw them away, but 373 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:09,400 Speaker 1: I had suggested that he walk them down to the 374 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 1: local pharmacy and dispose of them in their medication disposal bin. 375 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:16,520 Speaker 1: He asked me to do it, and without thinking I agreed. 376 00:16:16,800 --> 00:16:19,520 Speaker 1: I seriously thought nothing of it and didn't realize it 377 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:20,720 Speaker 1: would come back to bite me. 378 00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 2: Well, in normal circumstances, I don't think it would come 379 00:16:23,560 --> 00:16:25,520 Speaker 2: back to bite you, because you could have just explained 380 00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:27,600 Speaker 2: that if you were talking to reasonable people. 381 00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:30,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean like they're just going to accuse you 382 00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,120 Speaker 1: of stealing the medication. 383 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:34,120 Speaker 2: And putting them in the disposal bin. 384 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 1: Why don't you go back and do some more social work, money, 385 00:16:37,280 --> 00:16:38,640 Speaker 1: some work on your social. 386 00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 2: Work, some work on yourself. 387 00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: Back to my sister, things got really bad between us 388 00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 1: in March. She said she needed to talk to me, 389 00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 1: but wouldn't say about what, and I had no idea. 390 00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,800 Speaker 2: I really need to tell you something, okay't tell me. 391 00:16:50,920 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 2: I can't tell you that. No, I can't tell you. 392 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,000 Speaker 1: Okay, it's a secret. 393 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:55,720 Speaker 2: But I really want to tell you. 394 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,400 Speaker 1: She came to my house and accused me of stealing 395 00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:02,240 Speaker 1: my nephew's meds. Laughed and told her she was crazy. 396 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: Her logic was that I lost too much weight. I 397 00:17:05,160 --> 00:17:07,600 Speaker 1: was almost three hundred pounds and I lost ninety over 398 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,920 Speaker 1: the last two years with diet and exercise. Literally kept 399 00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,919 Speaker 1: a food diary and recorded my workouts. I tried to 400 00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,960 Speaker 1: reason with her and explain that the weight loss was 401 00:17:15,960 --> 00:17:18,959 Speaker 1: happening over a period of time, way before my nephew 402 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,680 Speaker 1: started to decrease his dosages, but she wasn't having any 403 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:24,760 Speaker 1: of it and said she's not a effing red What 404 00:17:24,800 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 1: does that even mean? You're not a red coat communists? 405 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:32,280 Speaker 1: Oh I'm not. I'm not a County of the day. 406 00:17:32,880 --> 00:17:36,679 Speaker 1: She then started making demands, demanded that I hand the 407 00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:39,840 Speaker 1: medication over and open a little, tiny money safe that 408 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: I have. She also started name calling and proceeded to 409 00:17:42,600 --> 00:17:45,359 Speaker 1: go through my personal belongings. She then asked me where 410 00:17:45,359 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: my other safe was, and this confused me because I 411 00:17:47,560 --> 00:17:49,760 Speaker 1: don't own another safe. I told her to leave or 412 00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: I was calling the cops, which I did A minute later. 413 00:17:52,800 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 1: Cops told her to leave, and I was left in disbelief. 414 00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 1: She is now trying to turn her kids against me. 415 00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:00,639 Speaker 1: Her seventeen year old did believe the lies being spread, 416 00:18:00,680 --> 00:18:03,119 Speaker 1: but claimed she came to her senses and her mom 417 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 1: was wrong to do what she did. She'll be eighteen 418 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,439 Speaker 1: by the time we go in December on our vacation, 419 00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: but I suspect my younger niece will not be allowed 420 00:18:11,240 --> 00:18:13,520 Speaker 1: to go. My sister was very adamant that she doesn't 421 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:16,440 Speaker 1: want anyone, including the fourteen year old, to know what happened. 422 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,800 Speaker 1: That what happened, nothing happened. I have the medication, Yeah 423 00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 1: what happened. 424 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 2: Get that nephew in the air and say, hey, tell 425 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:25,119 Speaker 2: your mom? 426 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 1: Or does she not want anyone to know that she 427 00:18:27,800 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 1: was removed from your home by the police. 428 00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe that's it. 429 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,359 Speaker 1: I tried to text my sister to ask, but she 430 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,600 Speaker 1: said she needs to talk to me. I refuse to 431 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: speak to anyone who believes I took my nephew's meds. 432 00:18:38,080 --> 00:18:39,920 Speaker 1: I think I touched on the relevant points, but I'm 433 00:18:39,920 --> 00:18:42,679 Speaker 1: happy to provide more info if necessary. Would I be 434 00:18:42,800 --> 00:18:45,000 Speaker 1: the a hole if I was honest with my niece 435 00:18:45,040 --> 00:18:47,480 Speaker 1: when she asks why she can't go to universal and 436 00:18:47,520 --> 00:18:50,359 Speaker 1: there are some comments here. But what the answer is 437 00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:52,520 Speaker 1: that your mom's crazy and she thinks I stole your 438 00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: medication and the cops removed her from my house and 439 00:18:55,040 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: now that's your problem. 440 00:18:56,359 --> 00:18:58,119 Speaker 2: Yeah, you could just give it to her straight. 441 00:18:58,240 --> 00:19:01,400 Speaker 3: Yeah do you I mean, do we try and hide 442 00:19:01,440 --> 00:19:03,760 Speaker 3: the situation?

What do we do? 450 00:19:17,560 --> 00:19:19,199 Speaker 1: You can tell a fourteen year old like, hey, your 451 00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,879 Speaker 1: mom's got made up beef with me. 452 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:22,960 Speaker 3: I would maybe the best way, He's like, how about 453 00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 3: as your mom that? 454 00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:26,560 Speaker 2: Or you could just be like, your mom believes that 455 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:27,520 Speaker 2: I took something. 456 00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 3: Your mom and I gotten an argument? Yeah, mom and 457 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,520 Speaker 3: I got an argument, or like a disagreement. 458 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:34,400 Speaker 1: Your mom's a little dumb dumb who thinks I took 459 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,080 Speaker 1: your brother's meds to lose weight even though I've lost 460 00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:40,440 Speaker 1: ninety pounds over two years. Yeah, I don't know. I 461 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:43,359 Speaker 1: think your mom hates me. We've got comments. Why was 462 00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: she freaking the f out about meds? Was she also 463 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 1: taking them? Ooh? 464 00:19:47,720 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 2: Well, I think it's an important thing to note of, like, 465 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:54,560 Speaker 2: is this a big departure from how she normally acts 466 00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,240 Speaker 2: or is this kind of like something pretty run of 467 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:58,520 Speaker 2: the mill standard for her. 468 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,960 Speaker 1: It sounds like she's always been a little difficult. 469 00:20:01,080 --> 00:20:04,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, because I feel like if she were on substances, 470 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,119 Speaker 2: it probably I don't know, it might be more of 471 00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,320 Speaker 2: a departure from what she's only like. 472 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,640 Speaker 1: Maybe. The commenter continues, her reaction was way too over 473 00:20:12,680 --> 00:20:14,679 Speaker 1: the top for this situation. Do you mean that your 474 00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:16,800 Speaker 1: sister doesn't want anyone to know about her freak out 475 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,240 Speaker 1: even though she was spreading lies about you? Something there 476 00:20:20,280 --> 00:20:23,879 Speaker 1: doesn't make sense, Ope replies, I agree, her reaction was 477 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,480 Speaker 1: way over the top. Yes, she texted me later that 478 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:29,000 Speaker 1: day saying she didn't want anyone in the family knowing 479 00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: about what she did, especially her daughter. I did not respond, 480 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: And there is another comment standing on the outside. My 481 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:39,000 Speaker 1: personal opinion is your sister probably started taking her son's 482 00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: meds when her personality did a one to eighty, especially 483 00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:44,640 Speaker 1: if everyone friends and family noticed all of these changes 484 00:20:44,880 --> 00:20:46,919 Speaker 1: and how she was treating them. Well, I mean, that 485 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 1: could be, but it could also easily be like, she 486 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:52,040 Speaker 1: went to school and she got this degree, and now 487 00:20:52,080 --> 00:20:54,879 Speaker 1: she thinks that she surrounded herself with an echo chamber 488 00:20:54,920 --> 00:20:58,000 Speaker 1: of people who just think exactly like her. Yeah, that 489 00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: can happen. 490 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:01,800 Speaker 2: Feel like when you're around a subject, or when you're 491 00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:05,159 Speaker 2: around a certain type of person a lot. He does 492 00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 2: influence how you react a situation in different situations. Yeah, 493 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 2: So it could be possible that she was taking that medication, 494 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,600 Speaker 2: But it also is just possible that she has been 495 00:21:14,720 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 2: influenced by other outside sources. 496 00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: Maybe your nephew knew something was going on, which is 497 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: why he wanted you to throw them away for him. Otherwise, 498 00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 1: why wouldn't he have just asked his mom to dispose 499 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:28,440 Speaker 1: of them. Even more so, if she had asked you 500 00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:30,880 Speaker 1: not to tell anyone about the argument and the fight, 501 00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:33,040 Speaker 1: that sounds like someone trying to cover up a story 502 00:21:33,080 --> 00:21:35,919 Speaker 1: so others won't ask the real question of why she 503 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,760 Speaker 1: got so upset over medication being tossed.

Dakota's girlfriend, Now he's jealous of 513 00:21:58,520 --> 00:21:59,960 Speaker 2: my Shakespeare typewriter joke. 514 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,119 Speaker 1: It was a good joke. 515 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:02,040 Speaker 2: I loan it to you. 516 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,160 Speaker 1: Shakespeare said it best. Get those monkies everyone named Sophia 517 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:07,320 Speaker 1: and put them in jail. 518 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 2: Shakespeare said that Shakespeare new Shakespeare knew me. 519 00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:15,119 Speaker 1: Wow, okay, for real, Shakespeare said it best. The lady 520 00:22:15,200 --> 00:22:18,639 Speaker 1: doth protests too much. Methinks Shakespeare hates women. Confirmed. 521 00:22:18,720 --> 00:22:20,000 Speaker 3: Wow, is Shakespeare a woman? 522 00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 1: Shakespeare literally won't hear a word A woman says, well, 523 00:22:22,920 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 1: we gotta do something about this guy. We cancel him 524 00:22:25,960 --> 00:22:29,000 Speaker 1: on Twitter. Maybe she's projecting her guilt onto you to 525 00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: keep from being found out. Opie says, I thought about 526 00:22:31,720 --> 00:22:34,240 Speaker 1: this the other day. I truly believe that her new 527 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 1: friends are into things, but I have no proof. Oh. 528 00:22:38,280 --> 00:22:41,919 Speaker 1: Her change in attitude was so embarrassing too. She started 529 00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:43,879 Speaker 1: to act like and please try to stay with me 530 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:47,040 Speaker 1: on this insert high pitched little girl voice here. I'm 531 00:22:47,119 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 1: suit your big bed booty witch and no one will 532 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,919 Speaker 1: go against me type of ways. 533 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:57,200 Speaker 3: Go go higher higher. 534 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:01,840 Speaker 1: Hopefully you're able to follow along. Op he needs to 535 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 1: tell her relatives before Sheila, who painted a different picture 536 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 1: of what happened. I guess that's probably the sister she 537 00:23:08,119 --> 00:23:12,160 Speaker 1: Lah Shela. I called a relative as it was happening 538 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:14,800 Speaker 1: and had my dog cam turned on to capture what 539 00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,320 Speaker 1: was being said. I told a few friends and family 540 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: members what happened, and they're all on my side. Comment three, 541 00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,959 Speaker 1: I think you have a right and duty to yourself 542 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:25,040 Speaker 1: to tell your niece the truth and attempt to clear 543 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:27,600 Speaker 1: your name. Where was your nephew and all this? Did 544 00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 1: he speak up? Opie says he did. He tried to 545 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: defend me and she told him he was at effing 546 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,480 Speaker 1: r slur and if he did, if he didn't see it. 547 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,720 Speaker 1: He's been really upset because he feels like he has 548 00:23:37,760 --> 00:23:39,440 Speaker 1: to choose between his mother and myself. 549 00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,000 Speaker 2: Not really much of a choice. She just like slurred 550 00:23:42,040 --> 00:23:42,760 Speaker 2: you out. 551 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,359 Speaker 1: Slur in your child. Folks, Don't slur your children. 552 00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:45,920 Speaker 2: Don't do that. 553 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:48,480 Speaker 1: I assured him. I wasn't mad at him, as I 554 00:23:48,560 --> 00:23:51,479 Speaker 1: have no reason to be. I think his mother said something, 555 00:23:51,560 --> 00:23:54,000 Speaker 1: but I can't prove it. Comme At four, why would 556 00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:56,959 Speaker 1: you take any of them anywhere? Stay away from her. 557 00:23:57,200 --> 00:23:59,040 Speaker 1: You literally had to call the police on her, and 558 00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: now you're going to take her and her children on vacation. 559 00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 1: Step back, Opie, She's not safe to be around. What 560 00:24:04,760 --> 00:24:07,200 Speaker 1: if she accuses you of something worse. You don't need 561 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,040 Speaker 1: to waste your time and money on this. How can 562 00:24:09,119 --> 00:24:11,200 Speaker 1: you trust her? Opie says, Oh, no, no, no, no. 563 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:14,159 Speaker 1: My sister is never invited to go anywhere with me 564 00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,320 Speaker 1: ever again. But I would still like to take my 565 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:19,239 Speaker 1: niece and nephew. Comment five. Why doesn't she ask her 566 00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 1: son where the meds went? 567 00:24:20,240 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 2: Well, clearly she's not gonna listen to him either way, 568 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 2: so it doesn't really matter. 569 00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:27,919 Speaker 1: Opie says, she did. He told her the truth. I 570 00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,960 Speaker 1: told him to walk them to the local pharmacy and 571 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,560 Speaker 1: dispose of them there, he told her. He asked me 572 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:34,639 Speaker 1: to do it. We didn't think anything of it at 573 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:38,200 Speaker 1: the time. Her freaking out came out of nowhere. Comment six. 574 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:41,280 Speaker 1: So your sister wildly misbehaves and wants to be sure 575 00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:43,760 Speaker 1: her kids don't know about it. She showed up to 576 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:46,800 Speaker 1: your house to accuse you of stealing her son's medication 577 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,439 Speaker 1: to lose weight, then frantically starts rooting through your things 578 00:24:50,680 --> 00:24:53,719 Speaker 1: and has to be removed by police. No wonder she 579 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,399 Speaker 1: doesn't want her kids to know she's spiraling. Is your 580 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 1: sister jealous of your weight loss? Maybe your job? Is 581 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 1: She upse that her son is trying to do things 582 00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:04,840 Speaker 1: on his own and came to you there's stuff going 583 00:25:04,880 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: on here. I agree. 584 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,760 Speaker 2: I also agree there's stuff happening. Stuff, things are happening, 585 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 2: and none of them are good. 586 00:25:12,200 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 1: Opie said, it's like, you know me, I don't like 587 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 1: to assume things, but I started wondering that myself. Every 588 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,160 Speaker 1: time I do something, she does it shortly after, for example, 589 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,600 Speaker 1: weight loss, new job, promotion, new car. And she has 590 00:25:24,680 --> 00:25:27,280 Speaker 1: verbalized to my nephew that she didn't want him getting 591 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 1: close to me because I would ruin their relationship. 592 00:25:30,520 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 2: Just feels like she's trying to isolate her kids from 593 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,639 Speaker 2: anyone else who loves them. 594 00:25:35,080 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 1: From the cool sister. 595 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,359 Speaker 2: Yeah, She's like, well, my sister's so much cooler than me, 596 00:25:39,480 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 2: so I got to get rid of that. 597 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: This caught me off guard, and she brought this up 598 00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:47,120 Speaker 1: after getting her new group of friends comment seven. As 599 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,280 Speaker 1: others have said, I would just tell her that her 600 00:25:49,320 --> 00:25:51,800 Speaker 1: mother doesn't want you to discuss the issue with her, 601 00:25:51,880 --> 00:25:54,439 Speaker 1: but that she should ask her sister. Also, honestly, it 602 00:25:54,520 --> 00:25:56,480 Speaker 1: sounds like the mom might be the one stealing the 603 00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,400 Speaker 1: medication and trying to cover it up. If he's trying 604 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:00,800 Speaker 1: to reduce how much medication he's using, normally he would 605 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,640 Speaker 1: just talk to his doctor and they would lower the prescription. 606 00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,359 Speaker 1: But the fact that that isn't happening is a little 607 00:26:06,520 --> 00:26:09,760 Speaker 1: suss I want to be surprised if your sister is 608 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: taking the medication, but I guess they wouldn't be, Op says. 609 00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 1: Multiple people asked me if there was a chance she 610 00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:19,679 Speaker 1: could have been taking them. I honestly don't know. My 611 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,240 Speaker 1: sister could have handled it differently, but I feel like 612 00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 1: she chose to be aggressive about it because she can 613 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,160 Speaker 1: do no wrong. That's her mentality. 614 00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, if she's like the father's favorite, it 615 00:26:31,280 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 2: makes sense that she got that at it or where 616 00:26:33,320 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 2: she got that attitude from. Where you get all that 617 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:39,040 Speaker 2: attitude for being your father's favorite, attitude store. You got 618 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:39,680 Speaker 2: a discount. 619 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,000 Speaker 1: You got a discount at the Attitude store for being 620 00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,840 Speaker 1: in the Golden Child discount. OP on the medication in 621 00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:48,800 Speaker 1: question showing up in a substance test, Ohpi says, I'm 622 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:51,840 Speaker 1: not sure the med in question is adorall. Either way, 623 00:26:51,920 --> 00:26:55,080 Speaker 1: I would be clean, but who knows what other accusations 624 00:26:55,119 --> 00:26:57,159 Speaker 1: would be thrown around at that point. And there's a 625 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: second op date chevron and a half montrealaiter. 626 00:27:00,359 --> 00:27:02,639 Speaker 2: Did you say it like that for so that it 627 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:03,520 Speaker 2: wouldn't be flagged? 628 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:05,440 Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, probably because I feel. 629 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,600 Speaker 2: Like people are just gonna think you pronouncing people. 630 00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,520 Speaker 1: People are gonna think I'd be like, oh my gosh, boy, 631 00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:12,680 Speaker 1: I don't know what things are. 632 00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:14,520 Speaker 2: I don't know what that thing is. 633 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: I need people to tell me what things are because 634 00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 1: I'm such a good little boy or youth fall. I 635 00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:20,280 Speaker 1: don't know nothing. 636 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:26,679 Speaker 2: U Shanny Oap says, either op is is jealous or 637 00:27:26,720 --> 00:27:30,040 Speaker 2: as a substance problem, either way, not the ahole. For 638 00:27:30,080 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 2: op agreed, Well. 639 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:34,119 Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say you're not the a whole and uh, 640 00:27:34,359 --> 00:27:39,520 Speaker 1: depriving you your children of a trip to Universal Studios, Florida, 641 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: it's pretty not cool. That's a whack move. Update. He's 642 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:45,720 Speaker 1: John og Host. We don't get back to the stories, 643 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,720 Speaker 1: but a quick free minute break of ads from our sponsors. 644 00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:51,520 Speaker 1: HI all not sure if this update is allowed? Oh well, 645 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,440 Speaker 1: I'm sure it is because we're reading it right now. 646 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,760 Speaker 1: A bunch of details were changed so I could remain anonymous. 647 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,720 Speaker 1: I will refer to my sister as Sheila. I think 648 00:28:00,760 --> 00:28:03,159 Speaker 1: I posted it in here, but if anyone remembers my 649 00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:06,000 Speaker 1: story from six to eight months ago, Sheila, a social worker, 650 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: accused me of stealing some meds controlled substance from my 651 00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:11,080 Speaker 1: disabled nephew. It resulted in a huge fight, and I 652 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:13,160 Speaker 1: was told that I could not take my little niece 653 00:28:13,280 --> 00:28:16,399 Speaker 1: his little sister on vacation with me. The fine people 654 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,840 Speaker 1: on Reddit provided some great tips on how I can 655 00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:20,879 Speaker 1: deal with the situation and what to tell my niece. 656 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:23,639 Speaker 1: In the meantime, things went from bad to worse. I 657 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,719 Speaker 1: was questioned and told my niece and her father to 658 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 1: direct all questions to their mother. They did, and they 659 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,400 Speaker 1: were both shut down and told it was in none 660 00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:32,760 Speaker 1: of their business. Dad was obviously mad that he wasn't 661 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,040 Speaker 1: getting answers and wanted to know why his daughter was 662 00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:39,240 Speaker 1: being excluded. My niece's friend ended up inviting her to Universal, 663 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,640 Speaker 1: so that made me happy. I took my other niece 664 00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 1: and nephew on vacation. They are both over the age 665 00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:48,000 Speaker 1: of eighteen, so their mother legally couldn't say no. We 666 00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,800 Speaker 1: went at a completely different time than the other munchkin, 667 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:53,240 Speaker 1: so no problems there. Sheila and I met at a 668 00:28:53,240 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: public location. Mickey Diaz was a safe bet and one 669 00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,480 Speaker 1: of our nieces joined in to play referee. She's also 670 00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,920 Speaker 1: twenty six years old. She wanted to be there, but 671 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,880 Speaker 1: so I was okay with this. Sheila grew annoyed that 672 00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: I had an answer for everything, So like. 673 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,120 Speaker 2: How do you have all these answers? I just touched 674 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:10,920 Speaker 2: you where you were, and you want an answer for that. 675 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,719 Speaker 2: I asked you where you got the medication. You had 676 00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 2: an answer. It doesn't make sense. 677 00:29:15,720 --> 00:29:18,560 Speaker 1: I'm confused why all your answers aren't. Yes, Sheila, you 678 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:22,000 Speaker 1: are correct. That seems wrong and don't get it. She 679 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,680 Speaker 1: grew even more annoyed that I had some proof to 680 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:27,480 Speaker 1: back up my claims. Some of you suggested that Sheila 681 00:29:27,600 --> 00:29:30,000 Speaker 1: sounded like she was the one taking something, as there 682 00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:32,719 Speaker 1: was no reason for her to be that upset and 683 00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:35,720 Speaker 1: her actions weren't warranted. The family has noticed the tension, 684 00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: and I'm glad I spoke up, as multiple family members 685 00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 1: have offered their support. Sheila and I still aren't talking, 686 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 1: but I got to see my little niece twice last 687 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,120 Speaker 1: year with her mother being very nearby, not her choice, 688 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,680 Speaker 1: as we were at a birthday party for another relative. 689 00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:52,120 Speaker 1: Sheila knew I was going to be there. Sheila still 690 00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,240 Speaker 1: believes that I have the meds and continues to try 691 00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,440 Speaker 1: and convince her kids that I'm stealing and abusing them. 692 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:01,160 Speaker 2: Well, it seems like they don't believe her, So that's something. 693 00:30:01,480 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: Does she know how medication works? Like when you take it, 694 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,400 Speaker 1: it's you, You've taken it and it's gone. 695 00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:09,480 Speaker 2: No, she's like, you just keep taking. Yeah, you have 696 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,840 Speaker 2: infinite supply in that little bottle. 697 00:30:12,080 --> 00:30:16,440 Speaker 1: Was your nephew's doctor prescribing him five hundred doses of 698 00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:17,600 Speaker 1: medication at a time. 699 00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:21,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, it just doesn't make sense, seeing as this was 700 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:23,080 Speaker 2: a one time thing. And also I don't even think 701 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:26,040 Speaker 2: that the nephew is taking these pills anymore, so she 702 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,120 Speaker 2: wouldn't be able to continuously steal them. 703 00:30:28,360 --> 00:30:31,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, even if she were so, both older niece and 704 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: nephew have shut this idea down and told her that 705 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: she's wild girl, you wile they have fit at same 706 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:40,400 Speaker 1: niece also told Sheila that it's a common med taken 707 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,560 Speaker 1: by thousands of college kids, and that Sheila has friends 708 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:45,160 Speaker 1: who probably tried worse. Not sure if there will be 709 00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:47,400 Speaker 1: another update, but wanted to give an update to anyone 710 00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 1: who remembers this. And there's a little bit left to 711 00:30:50,040 --> 00:30:52,520 Speaker 1: this story where there's plenty of comments. 712 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,120 Speaker 2: I just don't fully understand the reaction the earth, like 713 00:30:56,200 --> 00:31:00,040 Speaker 2: the strength of Sheila's reaction, seeing as nephew is no 714 00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:03,200 Speaker 2: longer on these mets, which is why he's getting rid 715 00:31:03,200 --> 00:31:05,920 Speaker 2: of them, And even if she were taking them, which 716 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:08,440 Speaker 2: she's not, and we know she's not, it still seems 717 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:09,960 Speaker 2: like a pretty strong reaction. 718 00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: I think what's bubbling underneath all this is a good 719 00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:16,320 Speaker 1: old like sibling rivalry, like, you know, because she's the 720 00:31:16,440 --> 00:31:19,440 Speaker 1: older sister, she went back to school and guy a 721 00:31:19,480 --> 00:31:24,080 Speaker 1: degree op is also improving and changing their life in ways, 722 00:31:24,240 --> 00:31:26,680 Speaker 1: and they're the younger sisters. So then maybe the older 723 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:29,560 Speaker 1: sisters like losing it, being like, well I need to 724 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:31,600 Speaker 1: be ahead of you because I'm older, and blah blah 725 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,080 Speaker 1: blah and I went back to school and I got 726 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,240 Speaker 1: this degree blah blah blah. So shut up. I'm smarter 727 00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:37,160 Speaker 1: than you now and I know everything blah blah blah. 728 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,720 Speaker 2: And she's like, I'll get a one day. 729 00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:42,400 Speaker 1: Let me be clear, all right now, everyone who just 730 00:31:42,400 --> 00:31:46,000 Speaker 1: goes and gets a degree is an intolerable like bag 731 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: of hot air. I'm not implying that you're an annoying 732 00:31:49,760 --> 00:31:52,880 Speaker 1: person if you have a degree, and you are you 733 00:31:52,920 --> 00:31:56,360 Speaker 1: have expertise in something, but like clearly that can happen 734 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: to people. They get too big for their breches, and 735 00:31:59,200 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: maybe Opec there's just a little too big for a breeches. 736 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 1: Doesn't know how to compute it, and it comes out 737 00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,520 Speaker 1: as her rifling through all your belongings and accusing you 738 00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:07,800 Speaker 1: of having a substance use problem. 739 00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 2: She just needs a different size, she needs different size bridges, 740 00:32:11,400 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 2: change her bridges. 741 00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: Sides, you can go get new breeches. 742 00:32:14,640 --> 00:32:16,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, we don't have to stay stuck in these tiny 743 00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 2: little breeches. Good have them. Oh new breeches too little? 744 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,800 Speaker 1: Come in one. Why can't you hang out with your 745 00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:27,280 Speaker 1: niece with dad or her siblings watching her? Opie says, 746 00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,680 Speaker 1: I can't. Sheila doesn't want me around the Munchkin at all. 747 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:33,959 Speaker 1: Dad is currently in a custody battle with Sheila, how lovely, 748 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: and can't give her any AMMO to use against him. 749 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:39,080 Speaker 1: Comment too, sounds like a good reason for Dad to 750 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,400 Speaker 1: know what's happening. To be honest, I hate to say it, 751 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 1: but I think your sister may have a substance use issue, 752 00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,640 Speaker 1: Opie says Dad did find out. Dad called me and 753 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:50,120 Speaker 1: started to laugh, as he knows I wouldn't steal from 754 00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,120 Speaker 1: my own nephew. He also didn't find out from me 755 00:32:53,400 --> 00:32:56,480 Speaker 1: his own attorney told him, which is another story on 756 00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:57,000 Speaker 1: its own. 757 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:01,360 Speaker 2: Wait, so Dad, who is like Sheila? Is goingild of Dad? Right? 758 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,200 Speaker 1: That's what we learned Dad, of I believe it's Dad 759 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: of the Munchkins, Sheila's I suppose husband. 760 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,680 Speaker 2: God, I thought we were talking about like their father 761 00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:13,320 Speaker 2: who is golden you know. 762 00:33:13,440 --> 00:33:15,840 Speaker 1: I think that was just the father She was the 763 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:20,160 Speaker 1: golden child, got you in her upbringing understood. I don't 764 00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,520 Speaker 1: think Sheila has a substance issue. She's a social worker 765 00:33:23,600 --> 00:33:26,840 Speaker 1: and on a massive power trip and has to be right. 766 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:29,080 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter if she's wrong. She's a social worker, 767 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,600 Speaker 1: and social workers are always right. Hopefully, you can detect 768 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: my sarcasm. 769 00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 2: I couldn't. 770 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:34,280 Speaker 1: Don't know what you're talking I don't even know what 771 00:33:34,320 --> 00:33:34,920 Speaker 1: you're talking about. 772 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 2: I thought she was always right. Please please, someone tell me. Please. 773 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:44,240 Speaker 1: I hope she's not abusing substances, but nothing would surprise 774 00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:47,520 Speaker 1: me with her anymore. Can op testify for the dad? 775 00:33:47,720 --> 00:33:51,120 Speaker 1: Opie says, neither of us want any more problems with Sheila. 776 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,719 Speaker 1: I don't want any problems for him if the courts 777 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:58,000 Speaker 1: do believe Sheila. Comment three says a controlled substance disappeared 778 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,160 Speaker 1: from her home, and instead of trying to figure out 779 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,520 Speaker 1: where it went, she zeroed in on you and won't 780 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:04,719 Speaker 1: let that go. What if it was one of her 781 00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:07,360 Speaker 1: kids or a friend of one of her kids, Opie says, 782 00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:09,759 Speaker 1: I know where they went. My nephew, with approval from 783 00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,360 Speaker 1: his doctor, stopped taking them. My nephew is autistic and 784 00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,440 Speaker 1: thought you could just throw them away. I told him 785 00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:16,440 Speaker 1: it's best to dispose of them at a local pharmacy 786 00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:18,280 Speaker 1: so that they don't end up in the wrong hands. 787 00:34:18,480 --> 00:34:22,000 Speaker 2: And oh, your sister said, wrong hands, more like your hands. 788 00:34:22,200 --> 00:34:23,440 Speaker 2: Get them out of those hands. 789 00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,160 Speaker 1: He asked me if I could take them, And this 790 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,000 Speaker 1: was included with the original story, which I cannot find. 791 00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 1: I never thought it would be a problem because my 792 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,360 Speaker 1: nephew's in his twenties, he lives on his own, and 793 00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:34,440 Speaker 1: the thought never crossed my mind to take them. I 794 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:37,240 Speaker 1: disposed of them at our local pharmacy. And this comment 795 00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 1: to replies, so her adult son asked you to dispose 796 00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:42,000 Speaker 1: of them properly. I can think of three angles for 797 00:34:42,040 --> 00:34:44,680 Speaker 1: her anger. She was sneaking the pills herself, she feels 798 00:34:44,680 --> 00:34:47,560 Speaker 1: slighted because he came to you and not her, Or 799 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:49,520 Speaker 1: she has issues with you and is using this as 800 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,719 Speaker 1: an excuse to be angry with you. I think it's 801 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: the last one. 802 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,720 Speaker 2: But yeah, I agree, because I think we just learned 803 00:34:56,200 --> 00:34:58,400 Speaker 2: that nephew doesn't live with his mom anymore. 804 00:34:58,440 --> 00:34:59,560 Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, he's twenty two. 805 00:34:59,719 --> 00:35:02,040 Speaker 2: Yeah, so he doesn't live with his mom anymore, which 806 00:35:02,080 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 2: would It's not impossible, but it would make it a 807 00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,919 Speaker 2: lot harder for her to get access to these substances. 808 00:35:08,160 --> 00:35:10,400 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think she just wants you to be worse 809 00:35:10,440 --> 00:35:12,759 Speaker 1: than her. Yeah, I think she needs you to be 810 00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:13,440 Speaker 1: worse than her. 811 00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:17,080 Speaker 2: I think she probably has a pretty yeah strained relationship 812 00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:18,759 Speaker 2: with a lot of her kids. In op maybe has 813 00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:21,000 Speaker 2: a better one, and she's jealous of that. 814 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,320 Speaker 1: That's also a highly likely probability. Yeah, can imagine getting 815 00:35:25,400 --> 00:35:27,560 Speaker 1: dunked on by your own kids about how the police 816 00:35:27,719 --> 00:35:30,919 Speaker 1: escorted you out of your your aunt's home. Like he'd 817 00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:34,760 Speaker 1: be like, yeah, all right, mom, calm down before police 818 00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:38,279 Speaker 1: someone calls the police on you again. That'd be brutal. 819 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,160 Speaker 2: You couldn't win any arguments after that. 820 00:35:40,280 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 1: Op replies, My nephew lives about two blocks away from me, 821 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,680 Speaker 1: as opposed to twenty minutes from his mom. This was 822 00:35:46,719 --> 00:35:48,919 Speaker 1: the only reason why he asked me to take them. 823 00:35:49,080 --> 00:35:51,239 Speaker 1: If she was there that day, he probably would have 824 00:35:51,239 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 1: asked Sheila to take them. Then she would have called 825 00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,200 Speaker 1: him lazy. I completely agree with your logic and often 826 00:35:56,280 --> 00:35:59,040 Speaker 1: wondered these things myself. Thank you for the validation. Yeah. 827 00:35:59,080 --> 00:36:02,520 Speaker 1: Also remember how oh she's slurred her own son, am 828 00:36:02,520 --> 00:36:05,800 Speaker 1: I calling him the R slur? Yeah, that's not funny. 829 00:36:06,200 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 2: She's not a great mom. 830 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,839 Speaker 1: You can't that's not funny. Is there any chance that 831 00:36:09,960 --> 00:36:12,880 Speaker 1: substance use disorder runs in the family, Any possibility Sheila's 832 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:16,440 Speaker 1: taking the pills and framing op OPI replies, Substance use 833 00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:19,080 Speaker 1: disorder does run in the family. I've witnessed the harm 834 00:36:19,080 --> 00:36:21,280 Speaker 1: that it causes and wanted a better life for myself. 835 00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 1: My brother openly admitted to using, and she never treated 836 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,520 Speaker 1: him as poorly as she treated me because he's not 837 00:36:27,560 --> 00:36:29,359 Speaker 1: a threat. In her head, She's like, well, why would 838 00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,320 Speaker 1: I have to? I don't have to. He's got substance 839 00:36:31,360 --> 00:36:34,399 Speaker 1: use disorder. I'm better than him. Yeah, but you, you, 840 00:36:34,400 --> 00:36:35,120 Speaker 1: you're too good. 841 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:36,399 Speaker 2: She's got to bring you down. 842 00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:40,799 Speaker 1: She found you're coming for her golden child's status, so 843 00:36:40,880 --> 00:36:45,200 Speaker 1: she's defensive of that comment. For from the past posts. 844 00:36:45,360 --> 00:36:47,880 Speaker 1: You have a long running feud with your sister, Sheila, 845 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,759 Speaker 1: going back four years ago about a disagreement about a 846 00:36:50,840 --> 00:36:52,960 Speaker 1: phone for one of your nieces and your sister not 847 00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:55,520 Speaker 1: wanting you to be in communication with her. It seems 848 00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:57,799 Speaker 1: it would be wiser to not be in communication with 849 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,960 Speaker 1: your niece in Sheila's custody until her scheze custody or 850 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,360 Speaker 1: visitation agreement set up. Then once that's set up, you 851 00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:05,360 Speaker 1: can ask your niece's dad if you can visit her 852 00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 1: when she's with him, or you wait until your niece 853 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:11,960 Speaker 1: is eighteen and you can uninhibited contact her whenever she wants, 854 00:37:12,320 --> 00:37:14,800 Speaker 1: just like you do now. With Sheila's adult children. I 855 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,040 Speaker 1: don't think there's any solution for the state of your 856 00:37:17,080 --> 00:37:20,400 Speaker 1: relationship with your sister. It's been hostile for a long time, 857 00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:22,480 Speaker 1: and if she doesn't have one thing to argue with 858 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,920 Speaker 1: you about, she accused you of something else to start 859 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,919 Speaker 1: new drama. Opie says, I almost forgot about that. I've 860 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 1: cut communication with Sheila as I have no time for 861 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:34,560 Speaker 1: her drama. As others have pointed out, both here and 862 00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:37,480 Speaker 1: with family and friends, they think that Sheila is jealous 863 00:37:37,560 --> 00:37:39,520 Speaker 1: and is looking for reasons to be mad at me, 864 00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:42,640 Speaker 1: So be it. I will resume a relationship with the 865 00:37:42,640 --> 00:37:45,399 Speaker 1: little one when she turns eighteen, as I don't need 866 00:37:45,440 --> 00:37:47,520 Speaker 1: her to get in trouble because of me. One day 867 00:37:47,600 --> 00:37:49,800 Speaker 1: I'll get to take her on vacation again. A fourth 868 00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:51,960 Speaker 1: commenter says, it seems to me Sheila will always be 869 00:37:51,960 --> 00:37:54,560 Speaker 1: looking for trouble with you because she's permanently angry with 870 00:37:54,600 --> 00:37:57,520 Speaker 1: you for whatever reason. You don't need her hassling you, 871 00:37:57,680 --> 00:38:00,400 Speaker 1: so look out for yourself and keep good related with 872 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:03,600 Speaker 1: your family and friends who know what Sheila is all about. 873 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,720 Speaker 1: And as you said, it's just a matter of time 874 00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,160 Speaker 1: when you can take her on that vacation again. Good luck. 875 00:38:08,360 --> 00:38:11,839 Speaker 1: Op replies, Yes, I came to realize this a few 876 00:38:11,880 --> 00:38:14,560 Speaker 1: months ago. I'm going to continue protecting my piece and 877 00:38:14,640 --> 00:38:17,680 Speaker 1: maintain the relationships that I'm still allowed to have. Life 878 00:38:17,719 --> 00:38:20,279 Speaker 1: has been much better. And that is the end of 879 00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,880 Speaker 1: that stream. Yeah, I mean story, that is the end 880 00:38:22,920 --> 00:38:23,320 Speaker 1: the stream. 881 00:38:23,360 --> 00:38:23,879 Speaker 2: That's it. 882 00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,480 Speaker 1: Yeah. Oops, whoops, see where we end. That's the end 883 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:28,240 Speaker 1: of that story. 884 00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, it seems like we're on I don't know, it 885 00:38:30,840 --> 00:38:34,239 Speaker 2: seems like Opie's kind of just coming to the realization 886 00:38:34,360 --> 00:38:37,520 Speaker 2: that there are things that you can't change, uh, and 887 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,279 Speaker 2: you should just kind of worry about the stuff that 888 00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,400 Speaker 2: you can change and work with. And you can't fix 889 00:38:42,560 --> 00:38:43,920 Speaker 2: whatever's going on with your sister. 890 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 1: So yeah, and even though you want, you would clearly 891 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:50,000 Speaker 1: want a positive, good relationship with your younger niece, it's 892 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:53,920 Speaker 1: like you being in contact with her will probably just 893 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,920 Speaker 1: get her in trouble with her mom and create all 894 00:38:57,000 --> 00:38:59,960 Speaker 1: kinds of more drama and strife, and just yeah, priority 895 00:39:00,040 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 1: tizing piece above all else, you know, until there's a 896 00:39:03,239 --> 00:39:07,240 Speaker 1: way to do it without it negatively impacting your niece. 897 00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,279 Speaker 2: And I think a lot of it, Yeah, I mean 898 00:39:09,480 --> 00:39:11,920 Speaker 2: I feel like a lot of her adult children probably 899 00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:15,319 Speaker 2: have a pretty strained relationship with her already, and so 900 00:39:15,400 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 2: I imagine by the time that you know her fourteen 901 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 2: year old daughter moves out, that will be the case too, 902 00:39:20,840 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 2: and you'll be able to move freely within your relationship 903 00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,960 Speaker 2: with her.

She however, doesn't want to see 988 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,960 Speaker 2: my son or wife, so that's why they're asking if 989 00:43:09,000 --> 00:43:10,319 Speaker 2: they could be left at home. 990 00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:13,720 Speaker 3: All I'm getting is the sister is spoiled.

It's not a 1010 00:44:13,680 --> 00:44:15,960 Speaker 2: problem for me to miss out on dinner with my parents, 1011 00:44:15,960 --> 00:44:18,320 Speaker 2: so my sister could have the company and I just 1012 00:44:18,360 --> 00:44:20,960 Speaker 2: stay home with my family. My sister is blowing it 1013 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,879 Speaker 2: out of proportion because she wants me there, but I'm 1014 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,399 Speaker 2: being an ale because she wants the whole family there. 1015 00:44:26,520 --> 00:44:29,200 Speaker 2: My parents are taking her aside because it's been a 1016 00:44:29,239 --> 00:44:33,240 Speaker 2: difficult year, losing your boyfriend and job. She just wants 1017 00:44:33,320 --> 00:44:35,040 Speaker 2: one family dinner for Thanksgiving. 1018 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:37,960 Speaker 1: My my family comes with me. 1019 00:44:38,400 --> 00:44:41,520 Speaker 2: Genuinely, I think you just say sorry, you can if 1020 00:44:41,560 --> 00:44:44,840 Speaker 2: my family can come. Otherwise I would love to, you know, 1021 00:44:44,960 --> 00:44:48,719 Speaker 2: have another family dinner with the four of us any 1022 00:44:48,760 --> 00:44:49,239 Speaker 2: other day. 1023 00:44:49,400 --> 00:44:53,480 Speaker 1: She's just so childish. You can't face like your own 1024 00:44:53,719 --> 00:44:55,719 Speaker 1: like it's not even the cut. You already dealt with 1025 00:44:55,760 --> 00:44:59,759 Speaker 1: the consequences. Now, it's just like what the reminder that, like, yeah, 1026 00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,560 Speaker 1: this person, I slighted this person and they sued me 1027 00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:06,040 Speaker 1: and I lost. You can't just you got to own 1028 00:45:06,239 --> 00:45:08,160 Speaker 1: that move on with your life. 1029 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:11,840 Speaker 2: It would be incredibly embarrassing though, and awkward though for 1030 00:45:11,960 --> 00:45:13,240 Speaker 2: everyone involved. 1031 00:45:13,200 --> 00:45:16,200 Speaker 1: For like a second, until you just go, until you 1032 00:45:16,239 --> 00:45:20,120 Speaker 1: just go like, yeah, hey that happened. If something, I'm 1033 00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:21,480 Speaker 1: not renting from you anymore. 1034 00:45:21,560 --> 00:45:25,160 Speaker 2: Right, I'm not backing up anything that she's done, to 1035 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,440 Speaker 2: be clear, but I think it's so awkward for both 1036 00:45:28,600 --> 00:45:31,880 Speaker 2: her and Opie's wife because forever, I don't think you 1037 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:32,640 Speaker 2: can ever get over that. 1038 00:45:32,840 --> 00:45:34,200 Speaker 1: It's just business. 1039 00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:37,879 Speaker 2: Imagine if someone sued you for what it doesn't matter, 1040 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:41,640 Speaker 2: sued me for the thing I did. Sued you for something, sued. 1041 00:45:41,320 --> 00:45:43,880 Speaker 1: Me because I destroyed their property. 1042 00:45:43,920 --> 00:45:46,400 Speaker 2: No, it just sued you. No, I'm not talking about 1043 00:45:46,440 --> 00:45:49,799 Speaker 2: like blame or anything. Just sued you, period. That's it. 1044 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:52,959 Speaker 2: Are you ever having Thanksgiving with the person. 1045 00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:55,600 Speaker 1: That sued you in this context? 1046 00:45:55,640 --> 00:45:57,279 Speaker 2: Not in this Texakota in. 1047 00:45:57,320 --> 00:46:01,319 Speaker 3: The leg it was all it was all legal. Would 1048 00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:04,600 Speaker 3: I be but hurt? Yes, her family, you know, like 1049 00:46:04,640 --> 00:46:06,920 Speaker 3: it makes sense we can make amends personally. 1050 00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:09,719 Speaker 2: I think if I was Opie's sister, and if I 1051 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,839 Speaker 2: was Opie's wife, I don't think I would ever want 1052 00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:16,080 Speaker 2: to be around the person that sued me slash I sued. 1053 00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:17,560 Speaker 2: I don't know if I would want to do that 1054 00:46:17,560 --> 00:46:20,239 Speaker 2: in general. So I think you should just have Thanksgiving 1055 00:46:20,360 --> 00:46:22,080 Speaker 2: with your wife and yourick son. 1056 00:46:22,280 --> 00:46:23,680 Speaker 1: I think you should just bring him anyway. 1057 00:46:23,800 --> 00:46:26,319 Speaker 2: I understand it's been tougher, but I'm having a hard 1058 00:46:26,360 --> 00:46:29,600 Speaker 2: time seeing how it's selfish or inconsiderate to not want 1059 00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:32,520 Speaker 2: to exclude my family. Common one says, not the ale. 1060 00:46:32,600 --> 00:46:35,000 Speaker 2: It's been six years and your sister was at fault. 1061 00:46:35,120 --> 00:46:37,920 Speaker 2: Time to grow up and drop the grudge, and the 1062 00:46:38,040 --> 00:46:42,120 Speaker 2: fact that she would hold it against your toddler is ridiculous. 1063 00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:44,520 Speaker 2: If she wants her old family there, she needs to 1064 00:46:44,520 --> 00:46:47,319 Speaker 2: accept that your wife and child are family, whether she 1065 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:50,000 Speaker 2: likes it or not. Family doesn't need to get along. 1066 00:46:50,320 --> 00:46:53,279 Speaker 2: She needs to deal with that or not expect you there. 1067 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,440 Speaker 2: Opie says, it's how I feel too. My wife was 1068 00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:59,399 Speaker 2: the wronged party and she's over it now. I'm sure 1069 00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:01,239 Speaker 2: because my sister was the one who had to pay 1070 00:47:01,239 --> 00:47:03,680 Speaker 2: out a pocket she feels differently about it. Let's steal 1071 00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,640 Speaker 2: like you said, it's been six years. Reply says, your 1072 00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:09,480 Speaker 2: parents have clearly babied your sister her whole life if 1073 00:47:09,480 --> 00:47:12,160 Speaker 2: they've allowed this to go on this long. True, this 1074 00:47:12,200 --> 00:47:14,359 Speaker 2: should have been nipped in the bud years ago, but 1075 00:47:14,400 --> 00:47:16,640 Speaker 2: for some reason none of you put your foot down 1076 00:47:16,680 --> 00:47:20,440 Speaker 2: with her tantrums. Your responsibility is to your wife and child, 1077 00:47:20,680 --> 00:47:23,040 Speaker 2: end of story. If your parents are going to act 1078 00:47:23,120 --> 00:47:27,200 Speaker 2: this irrationally and bend to your sister's hysterics, it may 1079 00:47:27,239 --> 00:47:29,359 Speaker 2: be time to draw a line in the sand. This 1080 00:47:29,440 --> 00:47:31,600 Speaker 2: is one of those times where taking no side is 1081 00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:34,600 Speaker 2: actually taking a side when one party is so clearly 1082 00:47:34,640 --> 00:47:37,640 Speaker 2: in the wrong. Opie says, for the past few years, 1083 00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,200 Speaker 2: they have told her if she doesn't want to be 1084 00:47:39,239 --> 00:47:42,520 Speaker 2: around my family. Then she can be excluded from family events. 1085 00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:45,360 Speaker 2: This is the only time they want to do whatever 1086 00:47:45,560 --> 00:47:47,640 Speaker 2: to make her happy because of what's going on. 1087 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:50,480 Speaker 1: But that's not going to help her. Yeah, that's just 1088 00:47:50,560 --> 00:47:53,919 Speaker 1: reinforcing that. She's like I don't know, I don't even 1089 00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:56,279 Speaker 1: know what the word like, not like a little special snowflake, 1090 00:47:56,360 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 1: but like and it's like, oh, yeah, well, it's like 1091 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,400 Speaker 1: the things that happened to you matter more than the 1092 00:48:01,400 --> 00:48:04,920 Speaker 1: things that happen to other people. It's like you actually 1093 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:10,360 Speaker 1: matter more than op's entire family because you did a 1094 00:48:10,440 --> 00:48:13,160 Speaker 1: thing to hit like. 1095 00:48:13,200 --> 00:48:14,240 Speaker 2: You were in the wrong. 1096 00:48:14,520 --> 00:48:17,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, you were fully in the wrong. You just gotta 1097 00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:21,960 Speaker 1: eat that. You say, I'm thankful that I was given 1098 00:48:22,480 --> 00:48:25,800 Speaker 1: the chance to realize how wrong I was and change 1099 00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,440 Speaker 1: my ways. But maybe you just haven't changed it all 1100 00:48:28,480 --> 00:48:30,759 Speaker 1: in six years. So that's why it would be so 1101 00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:32,000 Speaker 1: damn embarrassing. 1102 00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:36,399 Speaker 2: The person who didn't pay any money and then got 1103 00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:39,600 Speaker 2: sued is not necessarily the person I see making any 1104 00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:42,120 Speaker 2: sort of significant change in their life. 1105 00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:43,960 Speaker 1: Or I feel like she would make the argument about 1106 00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:47,200 Speaker 1: like she's a landlord, Yeah she's in the owner class 1107 00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:47,720 Speaker 1: or whatever. 1108 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, well I just don't see her making any change 1109 00:48:50,680 --> 00:48:52,640 Speaker 2: in her life and the bad thing I see here 1110 00:48:52,680 --> 00:48:57,240 Speaker 2: because I honestly don't really expect your sister to change, 1111 00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,279 Speaker 2: but I do expect your parents to be a I 1112 00:49:01,320 --> 00:49:03,080 Speaker 2: think they need to be like, hey, you need to 1113 00:49:03,080 --> 00:49:06,200 Speaker 2: get over it. I don't think they can coddle her. Update. 1114 00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:08,080 Speaker 1: Hey it's John here. We're gonna get back to the stories. 1115 00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,080 Speaker 1: Put a quick three minute ad break from our sponsors 1116 00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:10,959 Speaker 1: that keep the show going. 1117 00:49:11,560 --> 00:49:14,319 Speaker 2: Many of you asked for an update, so here it is. 1118 00:49:15,160 --> 00:49:18,840 Speaker 2: Of course, I didn't follow along with their ridiculous request. 1119 00:49:19,080 --> 00:49:21,040 Speaker 2: I wasn't about to leave my wife and child at 1120 00:49:21,080 --> 00:49:23,080 Speaker 2: home to have dinner with people who didn't want my 1121 00:49:23,160 --> 00:49:26,239 Speaker 2: family there. It pissed me off, like you can't imagine. 1122 00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:28,800 Speaker 2: We had fights prior to the dinner because I couldn't 1123 00:49:28,800 --> 00:49:31,839 Speaker 2: believe my parents were fine with excluding my son from 1124 00:49:31,880 --> 00:49:34,680 Speaker 2: time to spend with them. It bothered me the more 1125 00:49:34,719 --> 00:49:38,000 Speaker 2: I thought about it. Then there went my sister calling crying. 1126 00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:40,680 Speaker 2: Then I'm a piece of crap for not being there 1127 00:49:40,719 --> 00:49:44,600 Speaker 2: for honestly, it was so irritating. We went back and forth, 1128 00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:46,799 Speaker 2: and I just remember telling her to grow up and 1129 00:49:46,840 --> 00:49:47,960 Speaker 2: stop being spoiled. 1130 00:49:48,120 --> 00:49:49,600 Speaker 1: You know what, She didn't call. 1131 00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:52,680 Speaker 2: After that one, we stayed home to have her own Thanksgiving. 1132 00:49:52,760 --> 00:49:55,440 Speaker 2: My son kept asking where Grandma and Grandpa were. I 1133 00:49:55,480 --> 00:49:57,520 Speaker 2: wasn't about to tell them the real reason we weren't 1134 00:49:57,520 --> 00:50:00,160 Speaker 2: going with them, so we told them they're a little sick, 1135 00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:02,520 Speaker 2: so we can't go. You still wanted to talk to them. 1136 00:50:02,800 --> 00:50:05,160 Speaker 2: They video chatted for a while and you could hear 1137 00:50:05,239 --> 00:50:07,759 Speaker 2: my sister in the background. Then they were suddenly in 1138 00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:11,120 Speaker 2: a hurry to end the call. I'm sure she didn't 1139 00:50:11,160 --> 00:50:13,719 Speaker 2: know they were talking to us. I tried not to 1140 00:50:13,800 --> 00:50:15,600 Speaker 2: let that anger me too much so we could all 1141 00:50:15,600 --> 00:50:17,680 Speaker 2: be in a good mood. And there is a little 1142 00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:18,880 Speaker 2: bit left to this story. 1143 00:50:19,160 --> 00:50:22,799 Speaker 1: It sounds like all of her actions caused her to 1144 00:50:22,840 --> 00:50:27,960 Speaker 1: experience all of these losses. She was probably a nightmarish partner, 1145 00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:32,440 Speaker 1: so she lost her boyfriend. She was probably a nightmarish 1146 00:50:32,480 --> 00:50:35,680 Speaker 1: co worker, and she lost her job. And she was 1147 00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:39,799 Speaker 1: a nightmare tenant, so she lost her apartment. And it 1148 00:50:39,840 --> 00:50:41,279 Speaker 1: was six years ago. 1149 00:50:41,640 --> 00:50:43,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think your sister is going to change 1150 00:50:43,960 --> 00:50:46,799 Speaker 2: anytime soon. So I think you just focus on what's 1151 00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:50,600 Speaker 2: best for your immediate family. Your wife and your son, 1152 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:53,760 Speaker 2: hang out with them, be with them. Tell your parents 1153 00:50:53,800 --> 00:50:57,399 Speaker 2: that you know you'd love to see them, but you're 1154 00:50:57,400 --> 00:50:58,920 Speaker 2: not going anywhere with that, your wife. 1155 00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:02,160 Speaker 3: It just sounds like the like oh, if sister will 1156 00:51:02,200 --> 00:51:04,319 Speaker 3: jump off a bridge, mom and dad, will you do it? 1157 00:51:04,360 --> 00:51:06,760 Speaker 1: And like, yeah, she needs family. 1158 00:51:07,160 --> 00:51:08,200 Speaker 2: It's a really tough year. 1159 00:51:08,400 --> 00:51:10,000 Speaker 1: She's developing a new hobby. 1160 00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:12,040 Speaker 2: But uh, there is a little what. 1161 00:51:12,239 --> 00:51:14,040 Speaker 1: We need to support her in her new hobby. 1162 00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:15,920 Speaker 2: But there is a little bit left to this story. 1163 00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,400 Speaker 2: To the person who suggested a nice pajama Thanksgiving dinner, 1164 00:51:19,520 --> 00:51:22,000 Speaker 2: we followed through on that and it was pretty relaxing. 1165 00:51:22,560 --> 00:51:24,759 Speaker 2: I love that my son decided he wanted to go 1166 00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:26,960 Speaker 2: all out with his dinosaur pajamas. 1167 00:51:27,120 --> 00:51:27,239 Speaker 3: Yu. 1168 00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:30,439 Speaker 2: It was a lovely time.
