I've never met my 51 00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:21,760 Speaker 2: mother either, apart from her giving birth to me and 52 00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 2: handing me over to my dadanh she laughed.

Then my dad would come over, and at 69 00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:11,640 Speaker 2: this point I was wondering to myself why I was 70 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 2: letting these people in, and eventually told them to leave 71 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 2: after they asked to look after all of my money. 72 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,280 Speaker 2: Now they're slashing my tires, stealing my mail, trying to 73 00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: talk to my husbands into letting them inside Facebook and 74 00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:26,239 Speaker 2: email and etc. 75 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,720 Speaker 4: Well that's when we get the police involved.

My mother also got into contact with me too, 81 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 2: for the first time in my life, and immediately asked 82 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:52,440 Speaker 2: for money. She has a drinking problem, and I hung 83 00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 2: up and had a cry. My husband has noticed how 84 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:57,240 Speaker 2: badly this is escalated and asked if we should move 85 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 2: to a better area. I didn't want to leave, mainly 86 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 2: because of the kids' schools and friends around this area, 87 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:06,480 Speaker 2: but it's probably for the best. I have no idea 88 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,839 Speaker 2: what to do about my family, though, and there are 89 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:11,800 Speaker 2: some comments there's a couple of ways to go about it.

A restraining order could be put in place. 107 00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:01,800 Speaker 2: It sounds harsh, but it seems necessary. 108 00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:05,120 Speaker 4: No, no lawyer, but that sounds illegal. 109 00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 2: Opie says, Hey, thanks, I think I might file a 110 00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 2: police report about the tire slashing and mail stealing.

You have a 130 00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,719 Speaker 2: common problem on our relationships called family itis. Basically, people 131 00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,280 Speaker 2: give their families a pass because the family is related 132 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 2: to them, and society teaches you that you're supposed to 133 00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:19,080 Speaker 2: love your family. You also probably still have an emotional 134 00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,680 Speaker 2: connection with them, but you have to realize that these 135 00:06:21,720 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 2: people do not have your best interests at heart, and 136 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,560 Speaker 2: you're basically at war with them. They probably do not 137 00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,760 Speaker 2: respect you and are manipulating you to get things from you. 138 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,760 Speaker 2: Just because you are related to them doesn't mean they 139 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,719 Speaker 2: can't look at you as an object that they can 140 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,160 Speaker 2: use and take advantage of. You have to try to 141 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:41,320 Speaker 2: look at this rationally. You need a friend that can 142 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 2: give you logical, rational advice unclouded by your family emotions. 143 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,840 Speaker 2: You need to make it clear to them that if 144 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 2: they keep messing with you, extremely bad consequences will follow. 145 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,600 Speaker 2: Oh p replies family itis.

And they're like, nope, 176 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 4: just to have a speech impediment. 177 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:24,320 Speaker 2: So we ended up having to move, which is no problem, 178 00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:26,640 Speaker 2: to be honest. It was the safer route for our 179 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 2: little family that's growing. We also installed extra security and 180 00:08:30,280 --> 00:08:33,840 Speaker 2: have contacted police, schools, neighbors, et cetera. I'll tell you 181 00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,200 Speaker 2: the story. First of all, I'm just going to say 182 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,160 Speaker 2: that I stopped talking to my sister. She's acting as 183 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 2: if she did nothing wrong, but she knows what she did. 184 00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 2: So about a month and a half ago, we had 185 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 2: already started packing since we were moving away, my dad 186 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,079 Speaker 2: texted me and asked if I wanted to meet up 187 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:53,199 Speaker 2: just myself. I said no at first because I knew 188 00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,040 Speaker 2: that he was going to try and yell at me 189 00:08:55,080 --> 00:08:57,719 Speaker 2: again for not giving him any money, as well as 190 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,800 Speaker 2: my grandma. I looked into raised by narcissists as by 191 00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:04,199 Speaker 2: narcissists that was suggested by some people since he tried 192 00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 2: to gaslight me a lot. He then ended up writing 193 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:09,000 Speaker 2: an email and apologized for everything he had said and 194 00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 2: done on his and grandma's behalf. I was actually surprised 195 00:09:12,160 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 2: my dad was apologizing for the first time in his life. Well, 196 00:09:14,360 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 2: he's motivated to apologize by the money. 197 00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:18,120 Speaker 3: He's like, I. 198 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 4: Feel so bad. I feel so bad about how I 199 00:09:25,240 --> 00:09:25,800 Speaker 4: treated you. 200 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, don't you doesn't your backhurd from carrying around all 201 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:29,360 Speaker 2: that money? 202 00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,080 Speaker 4: And then he starts doing the no face, except instead 203 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,360 Speaker 4: of giving the money, he goes. 204 00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:38,400 Speaker 2: Eh, hey, buddy, I'm hungry and I want you to 205 00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,960 Speaker 2: feed me my nannie feed me your money. 206 00:09:41,120 --> 00:09:41,840 Speaker 4: That was really good. 207 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,280 Speaker 2: He then asked if we could meet again, so I 208 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 2: caved in and met him boo. We went to a 209 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,480 Speaker 2: cafe and I had a really nice time talking to him, 210 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 2: Yet I felt a bit off. We were probably sitting 211 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,640 Speaker 2: there talking for about an hour. He was checking his 212 00:09:54,720 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 2: phone a lot. After we left, I went straight home. 213 00:09:57,640 --> 00:09:59,680 Speaker 2: My partner had our son with him and found that 214 00:09:59,679 --> 00:10:02,000 Speaker 2: the p we were living in at the time had 215 00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:11,079 Speaker 2: been broken into conspiracy. Conspiracy trying to steal your stuff. 216 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,800 Speaker 2: Also like just to loop back into the how dumb 217 00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 2: your dad is, like, what did they broke into your house? 218 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:18,360 Speaker 2: And it's like, what did they think?

I called the police 225 00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 2: immediately and told them that we have secret installation and 226 00:10:34,520 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 2: cameras so we'll be able to see who did what. 227 00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,199 Speaker 2: And when they scanned the house with a German shepherd 228 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,760 Speaker 2: dog and had an inspection and investigation. Meanwhile, I contacted 229 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:44,800 Speaker 2: my partner and then went down to the police station 230 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,640 Speaker 2: with them.

So really they did you 344 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:36,240 Speaker 4: a favor. 345 00:15:36,360 --> 00:15:40,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, you know, that's that's debatable. It's demodable, 346 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:40,640 Speaker 2: you know. 347 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 4: But that's the end of that story is we've got 348 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 4: a little replaced a munto. 349 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 3: My parents tried to trap me for an arranged marriage. 350 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:52,760 Speaker 2: In like a cage or a snare or like a 351 00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 2: pit like what I. 352 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:56,400 Speaker 3: Twenty five female have been living in Australia for the 353 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 3: last four years. Last month I fractured my hands and 354 00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:01,680 Speaker 3: had to get surgery. My parents, fifty seven male and 355 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,480 Speaker 3: fifty three female, wanted me to take sick leave and 356 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,400 Speaker 3: come to India to get it fixed. Their reasoning it 357 00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 3: would be very expensive to get it fixed here and 358 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:12,200 Speaker 3: it would be easier to have someone take care of me. 359 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,320 Speaker 3: By the way this comes from, it just bro whisting. 360 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:17,360 Speaker 3: And if you submit your own stories, go to the 361 00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 3: r slash Okay storytime supreddit and we're here to give 362 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 3: good advice. Goofily, But we don't have all the answers. 363 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:24,240 Speaker 3: We just know we would do in the situation, So 364 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 3: let us know what you would do in the comments, 365 00:16:27,160 --> 00:16:30,680 Speaker 3: and Opia says. I understand their concern, but I wanted 366 00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,400 Speaker 3: to be able to fix things where possible. I suggested 367 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 3: i'd talk to the doctors and explore my options before 368 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 3: I decided to fly to India. After talking to the doctors, 369 00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:41,400 Speaker 3: I realized that it was cheaper to stay here and 370 00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 3: get the surgery, as my insurance covered most of it. 371 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 3: I didn't want to go to India for various reasons. First, 372 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 3: I want to have the chance to try and fix 373 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 3: things by myself wherever possible. Second, I had some major 374 00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:55,400 Speaker 3: changes happening at work and I wanted to be around 375 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,040 Speaker 3: for that. And lastly, my father has been looking into 376 00:16:58,080 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 3: various marriage proposals for me, even oh I have made 377 00:17:00,720 --> 00:17:03,760 Speaker 3: it abundantly clear that I don't want an arranged marriage. 378 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,600 Speaker 2: And lastly, my father has been digging a pit to 379 00:17:06,640 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 2: trap me in and then throwing a husband potential husbands 380 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 2: in there see which one of us gets along. 381 00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:15,560 Speaker 3: He's building a cage. Like, oh my god, Dad, stop 382 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:16,440 Speaker 3: building a cage. 383 00:17:16,560 --> 00:17:19,200 Speaker 2: God, stop building the marriage cage. I told you I'm 384 00:17:19,200 --> 00:17:21,960 Speaker 2: not going to get in the marriage no matter how 385 00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 2: many little snacks you put in there. Did they put 386 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:26,720 Speaker 2: the doctor who's going to fix her hand inside the 387 00:17:26,760 --> 00:17:27,399 Speaker 2: marriage cage? 388 00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:27,680 Speaker 5: Yeah? 389 00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:32,960 Speaker 2: Right, twist the doctor is who is the proposed. 390 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 3: Husband, fixes her hand, puts a ring on it. Easy. 391 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 3: I've been planning on telling them about my non Indian 392 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:40,639 Speaker 3: boyfriend and didn't want to be there until I had 393 00:17:40,720 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 3: done that. Also, I came back from India after a 394 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,119 Speaker 3: month flung vacation in November, so it's not like I 395 00:17:45,160 --> 00:17:47,200 Speaker 3: hadn't seen them in a long time. When I called 396 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:48,840 Speaker 3: up my father to tell him that I want to 397 00:17:48,840 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 3: get the surgery done here, he blew up. He screamed 398 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,600 Speaker 3: at me for ten minutes, saying things like, you have 399 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 3: absolutely zero sense in you. You just always assume you 400 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 3: know the best. Just because you got a little bit 401 00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 3: of money, you'd think you could handle everything yourself. Of course, 402 00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:06,359 Speaker 3: you don't even care if we're a past away or 403 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:07,440 Speaker 3: we're a live. 404 00:18:07,400 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 2: Hey, that doesn't have anything to do with what you 405 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 2: just said. 406 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 3: I just want insurance fix my hand, that's all. Also, 407 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:15,000 Speaker 3: I have a boyfriend. 408 00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 2: I can't tell you about yet. And if you're so 409 00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:19,240 Speaker 2: worried about you know, oh, you think you got a 410 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,960 Speaker 2: little bit of money and you know you could take 411 00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 2: care of everything, well, then why don't you send me 412 00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:27,840 Speaker 2: some of that money? Right? Since you want to take 413 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,320 Speaker 2: care of it's so bad you'd want to cut all 414 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 2: contact with. 415 00:18:30,960 --> 00:18:33,840 Speaker 3: Your family because you prefer this independent life. We don't 416 00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:37,280 Speaker 3: have any right to take care of our own family members. Now, yeah, sure, 417 00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:40,160 Speaker 3: stay with people there that you call friends, because they're 418 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,439 Speaker 3: above your family to you now, and ultimately let us 419 00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,440 Speaker 3: know if you even want us in your life anymore. 420 00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 3: And then he swished his emo haircut and slammed the 421 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 3: door and started playing playing music live. 422 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:55,440 Speaker 2: He posted a mirror selfie on Instagram and said life, 423 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 2: It's just not fair sometimes. 424 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:00,120 Speaker 3: Not fair, and just nobody understands. 425 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,760 Speaker 2: In Lincoln Parks playing in the background, and. 426 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:04,080 Speaker 3: He blocked me after that. 427 00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:08,399 Speaker 2: Hmmm great, Yeah, you don't want to see your life, 428 00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:09,560 Speaker 2: do you blocked? 429 00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:12,120 Speaker 3: This was four weeks ago. I got the surgery done, 430 00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 3: haven't heard from them at all. I called my mother 431 00:19:14,840 --> 00:19:17,240 Speaker 3: three times and she hasn't picked up. My brother is 432 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,200 Speaker 3: getting mad at me that I'm not making more of 433 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 3: an effort to reach out to them, but honestly, I'm 434 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:22,359 Speaker 3: furious too now. 435 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 2: Bro, they blocked you. 436 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,199 Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't even think you could reach out if 437 00:19:26,240 --> 00:19:29,320 Speaker 3: you wanted to, like, unless they unblocked immediately to the 438 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,439 Speaker 3: blocked for enough time for you to know that you 439 00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,840 Speaker 3: were blocked, and then unblocked just in case you tried 440 00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 3: to reach out. 441 00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:36,159 Speaker 2: Just like, if you really wanted to talk to us, 442 00:19:36,160 --> 00:19:38,480 Speaker 2: you would have sent a messenger pigeon. Yeah, you would 443 00:19:38,480 --> 00:19:40,000 Speaker 2: have sent a scroll on a raven. 444 00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:42,040 Speaker 3: If she wanted to, she would and that applies to 445 00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 3: daughters and whatever.

They wanted me in India to ease my life, 450 00:19:57,240 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 3: but when I decided to get the surgery done here, 451 00:19:59,359 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 3: they did not to put additional stress on me. Also, 452 00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:04,600 Speaker 3: it's their anniversary in a couple of days, and I 453 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:06,560 Speaker 3: might not get a chance to wish them.

And 459 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:22,000 Speaker 3: there is an edit? But what would you say, Dakota? 460 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:24,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, you're totally the a hole for not letting your 461 00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 2: parents in completely manipulate you and put you in a pit, 462 00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 2: put you in the marriage pick.

I 465 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:42,680 Speaker 3: don't think that's something that they probably notice to them, 466 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,960 Speaker 3: Like I feel like, to people who want control, they're 467 00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:46,880 Speaker 3: just like, ah, it's just like a given that they 468 00:20:46,920 --> 00:20:48,960 Speaker 3: have control that they need it, and then they don't 469 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 3: really know how to explain that. I guess, so you 470 00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 3: wouldn't really be able to like get that out of them, 471 00:20:54,240 --> 00:20:56,400 Speaker 3: like for them to admit that it's all about control. 472 00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,640 Speaker 3: But I mean, at least for your peace of mind 473 00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:00,720 Speaker 3: and understanding me that. 474 00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 2: I think you're right about that.

I started talking to them maybe a 511 00:22:38,359 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 3: year after my surgery when they reached out, and it 512 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:43,040 Speaker 3: wasn't great. All we did was fight and any cordial 513 00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:46,480 Speaker 3: conversations were conversations of no value. Essentially just limited to 514 00:22:46,520 --> 00:22:47,360 Speaker 3: how work. 515 00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 4: Going, what did you eat? 516 00:22:48,320 --> 00:22:50,840 Speaker 3: Blah blah blah. Last year, they showed up to Australia 517 00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:53,359 Speaker 3: out of the blue and I didn't handle that well. 518 00:22:53,400 --> 00:22:55,480 Speaker 3: My partner and I met them, but suffice to say 519 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:58,680 Speaker 3: they weren't very happy. Coming back to today, I came 520 00:22:58,760 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 3: to visit them in India with my partner is staying 521 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:04,120 Speaker 3: with us for a week and then two weeks without him. 522 00:23:04,160 --> 00:23:06,480 Speaker 3: They were adamant they only want to spend time with me. 523 00:23:06,920 --> 00:23:09,040 Speaker 3: I was keen to work on the relationship because I 524 00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,040 Speaker 3: do want to get married and have the option to 525 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,680 Speaker 3: have potential kids and I can't really slash don't want 526 00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:16,760 Speaker 3: to do that without them involved in my life. I'm 527 00:23:16,840 --> 00:23:19,200 Speaker 3: dating an Australian guy, twenty eight male who I've been 528 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 3: in a relationship with for over five years. They made 529 00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:24,560 Speaker 3: an excuse so we couldn't stay with them together, but 530 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,960 Speaker 3: they met up with us for lunch that day my 531 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 3: partner was leaving. Ever since I've started staying with them, 532 00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 3: they started talking about how I should extend my trip. 533 00:23:33,320 --> 00:23:35,399 Speaker 3: I've made it very clear about how I can't, and 534 00:23:35,440 --> 00:23:37,800 Speaker 3: I've had multiple fights with them over this. One of 535 00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:40,680 Speaker 3: them where my dad started talking about how I'm essentially 536 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:43,080 Speaker 3: filth and I live in filth, and he can't believe 537 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:49,159 Speaker 3: he's been loving filth this entire time.

Sorry, I know it sounds 621 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 3: like an excuse, but I'm really scared of getting caught 622 00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:24,600 Speaker 3: and making things so much worse. But I know i'd 623 00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,000 Speaker 3: have to do that, and that's the only way. We're 624 00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:30,199 Speaker 3: leaving for my parents' place tomorrow from my grandparents I 625 00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 3: have had no opportunity to escape yet because I've constantly 626 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:35,800 Speaker 3: been surrounded by too many people. But I know I'll 627 00:27:35,800 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 3: have to act when we're at my parents. I understand 628 00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:41,520 Speaker 3: your point, but my parents didn't fund my studies abroad. Yes, 629 00:27:41,600 --> 00:27:43,840 Speaker 3: I was able to move there with their massive support, 630 00:27:43,880 --> 00:27:46,960 Speaker 3: and for that I'd be thankful, But uprooting my entire 631 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,920 Speaker 3: life I've built in the last few years on their 632 00:27:49,000 --> 00:27:50,919 Speaker 3: terms is not fair on an adult. 633 00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 2: I don't know why. 634 00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:54,000 Speaker 3: The only reason you'd cut off a daughter you've raised 635 00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,560 Speaker 3: since she was a child is because she married someone 636 00:27:56,560 --> 00:27:59,679 Speaker 3: you didn't pick. Was that love so fragile? Thank you 637 00:27:59,720 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 3: so much, which for your reply, I appreciate you citing 638 00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:05,119 Speaker 3: the text that they hold so dear my family. My 639 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,440 Speaker 3: relatives love me so much, but their love borders around possession. 640 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:11,199 Speaker 3: I've heard such foul things from them, including how no 641 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:13,920 Speaker 3: other girl in the family would ever be given an 642 00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 3: opportunity to grow from now on because of the example. 643 00:28:17,119 --> 00:28:20,440 Speaker 3: I've said after being trusted, I'm so exhausted of being 644 00:28:20,440 --> 00:28:22,520 Speaker 3: blamed for every freakin' problem. 645 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:25,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, and that's not on you. That's on that for 646 00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,280 Speaker 2: being scumbacked. Yeah, has nothing, really nothing to do with you. 647 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:30,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like terrible, terrible people because it's like if 648 00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:33,320 Speaker 3: you try to think from their perspective, and this is 649 00:28:34,080 --> 00:28:36,119 Speaker 3: absolutely not me vouching for them, but it's like they 650 00:28:36,160 --> 00:28:39,200 Speaker 3: probably are just thinking, like, oh my gosh, what happened 651 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:41,640 Speaker 3: to my daughter? Why is she so negative? Why doesn't 652 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:44,960 Speaker 3: she agree with me anymore? Like it's crazy to think that. 653 00:28:45,080 --> 00:28:47,880 Speaker 3: Like the solution to that isn't like, I don't know, 654 00:28:47,920 --> 00:28:50,640 Speaker 3: a conversation. It's just like, no, you have to stay 655 00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 3: here because that's the bad place, and if you go 656 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 3: to the bad place, you'll be bad and you're gonna 657 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:56,280 Speaker 3: be so negative. 658 00:28:55,960 --> 00:28:58,000 Speaker 2: To stay here and marry who we say. And also, 659 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:00,360 Speaker 2: no women in our family will ever be alone to 660 00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,960 Speaker 2: have thoughts or lives of their own because of you. Yeah, 661 00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,280 Speaker 2: like what I would get out of there and never 662 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 2: speak to these people again. 663 00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:13,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, that is so so frustrating. I can enable roaming 664 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:16,120 Speaker 3: and then hopefully make calls. Booking Uber would be fine, 665 00:29:16,160 --> 00:29:17,640 Speaker 3: but it would be good to have a way to 666 00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:20,360 Speaker 3: make calls if needed. I honestly don't care about money 667 00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:22,840 Speaker 3: at this point. I also have an eesim that only 668 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 3: has data, so I can still access the internet. He's 669 00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 3: been acting all lovey since then, and this has always 670 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,080 Speaker 3: been the pattern. I'm guessing this is the dad. Yeah, 671 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 3: he spews hateful things at me and then acts normal 672 00:29:34,560 --> 00:29:36,760 Speaker 3: the next day or extra loving, and I'm supposed to 673 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:38,680 Speaker 3: forget all about it. I've always been told that his 674 00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 3: anger is just built up frustration. But when I get angry, 675 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 3: I'm told I need to see a psychiatrist or a counselor. 676 00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,680 Speaker 3: And we do have a second update, so hopefully something 677 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:48,440 Speaker 3: has actually happened. 678 00:29:48,520 --> 00:29:51,280 Speaker 2: Yeah. Literally, just take all your documents. I mean, if 679 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 2: you don't have anything super important that you brought with you, 680 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,360 Speaker 2: I would just abandon it and just be like I'm 681 00:29:57,400 --> 00:29:59,880 Speaker 2: getting out of here. Yeah, I would be. I would 682 00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:03,239 Speaker 2: be very worried that they would conspire to take your 683 00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 2: documents away from you, and then you'd be really up creek. 684 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 2: But book the car, get out of the country. Yeah, 685 00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:16,120 Speaker 2: and then cease all contact with these people. Maybe write 686 00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 2: them just like a one message of like y'all yeap, 687 00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 2: just just incomprehensibly backwards and controlling, and I'm gonna go 688 00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:29,920 Speaker 2: ahead and continue to build my life in Australia. Do 689 00:30:30,040 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 2: not contact me and lose my number. 690 00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,200 Speaker 3: Do you have a second update from five days later. 691 00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:36,959 Speaker 2: Hey, it's Sam, your og host. Here. 692 00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: We're gonna get back to the stories, but here's three 693 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:39,920 Speaker 1: minutes of ads from our sponsors. 694 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 3: Thank you everyone for all your concerns, suggestions, and for 695 00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 3: giving me hope. I didn't want to update sooner because 696 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:48,200 Speaker 3: it struck me very late that there is a small 697 00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,040 Speaker 3: possibility that my brother uses read it. The chances of 698 00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 3: him coming across this post were a slim, but I 699 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,280 Speaker 3: didn't want to risk anything. In short, I ended up 700 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:58,160 Speaker 3: running away from home. I'm still contemplating if the decision 701 00:30:58,160 --> 00:31:00,240 Speaker 3: I took was too extreme for the situation, but I 702 00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 3: think I'll go crazy if I go down that rabbit hole. 703 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,800 Speaker 2: I don't think it was. And also, you didn't really 704 00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:06,920 Speaker 2: run away from home. You ran away from the people 705 00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:08,360 Speaker 2: trying to keep you from going home. 706 00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:10,600 Speaker 3: You ran back to home. A couple of friends of 707 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:12,840 Speaker 3: mine had a friend who I met last month, but 708 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:14,920 Speaker 3: was hesitant to reach out because he was a fairly 709 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,280 Speaker 3: recent friend in a town three hours away. So my 710 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:20,320 Speaker 3: boyfriend and my friends planned my getaway. I was constantly 711 00:31:20,360 --> 00:31:22,920 Speaker 3: surrounded by my relatives and parents to plan things. But 712 00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,640 Speaker 3: for everyone reading, I am of sound mind and the 713 00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 3: decision to do this was mine alone. I snuck out 714 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:30,840 Speaker 3: the night that we came back home from my relatives 715 00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,640 Speaker 3: on the pretext of going for a walk, but I 716 00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:36,320 Speaker 3: know they'd probably have found out not too long after 717 00:31:36,360 --> 00:31:38,520 Speaker 3: I left. My friend was waiting in his car close 718 00:31:38,560 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 3: to my place and he drove me to the airport. 719 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:42,680 Speaker 3: It was perfect because booking a cab would have had 720 00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:45,240 Speaker 3: issues with timing. I didn't know when would be a 721 00:31:45,240 --> 00:31:47,200 Speaker 3: good time to sneak out, so having a friend around 722 00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:50,000 Speaker 3: gave me the flexibility to sneak out at my own convenience. 723 00:31:50,080 --> 00:31:51,760 Speaker 3: We're we got it. We got it. 724 00:31:51,840 --> 00:31:54,200 Speaker 2: Go in, you did it, They did it, made a plant. 725 00:31:54,320 --> 00:31:56,120 Speaker 3: Followed through, had friends help you out. 726 00:31:56,280 --> 00:31:58,160 Speaker 2: It seemed like you worked out well. You avoided all 727 00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:59,840 Speaker 2: cages and snares and yeah. 728 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,640 Speaker 3: Yes, all the booby traps along the way, and you 729 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:04,000 Speaker 3: did it. 730 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:06,840 Speaker 2: You did the thing, Thank goodness. 731 00:32:06,240 --> 00:32:09,640 Speaker 3: So satisfying. The priority was getting out of the country 732 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,200 Speaker 3: as soon as possible, without even knowing what the best 733 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:15,280 Speaker 3: way was to get to Australia. This was also crazy 734 00:32:15,320 --> 00:32:18,600 Speaker 3: timing with the Indigo fiasco. Not sure if it helped 735 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:19,680 Speaker 3: or hurt our chances. 736 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:21,840 Speaker 2: Not sure what fiasco that is. 737 00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:23,920 Speaker 3: Let us know in the chat if you do, or 738 00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 3: if Carly can find it on the internet to look. 739 00:32:26,200 --> 00:32:28,600 Speaker 2: It up right now. The Indigo Fiasco. 740 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,200 Speaker 3: I can only do this because of the immense support 741 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:33,120 Speaker 3: from my friends back home, who spent a lot of 742 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:35,800 Speaker 3: time planning the roots and booking the flights for me 743 00:32:35,960 --> 00:32:39,240 Speaker 3: so as to not provoke any suspicions from my family, 744 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,600 Speaker 3: and very little time for them to act. I've had 745 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:44,720 Speaker 3: messages from them and a few calls. All I've done 746 00:32:44,800 --> 00:32:46,960 Speaker 3: is message them that it was my decision to leave 747 00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,720 Speaker 3: and list a couple of points on why, and that 748 00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,239 Speaker 3: I had been keen to work on the relationship if 749 00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:54,200 Speaker 3: they can try to come around in my life choices. 750 00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:57,600 Speaker 3: Thank you everyone again, and especially to people who reached 751 00:32:57,760 --> 00:32:59,760 Speaker 3: out to make sure that I'm doing okay. And that 752 00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 3: is the end of that story. 753 00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 2: And the Indigo. The Indigo fiasco is about an airline 754 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:09,520 Speaker 2: and its operations. It's it's an airline in India going on. 755 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:13,480 Speaker 2: Apparently they were having a fiasco of some kind and uh, 756 00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 2: there weren't it weren't. Yeah, so but she got. 757 00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,400 Speaker 5: Out when I Google that that's showing like a day 758 00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:20,760 Speaker 5: ago for that fiasco. 759 00:33:21,280 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 3: This is recent I'm gonna check. 760 00:33:23,840 --> 00:33:25,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, very very recent. 761 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, dude, that was a kind of a crazy story. Dang. 762 00:33:29,480 --> 00:33:33,320 Speaker 5: Yeah that last update I think is nine days ago. 763 00:33:33,480 --> 00:33:38,240 Speaker 2: Wow. Wow to thesers, well again, glad you got out. Yeah, 764 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:39,120 Speaker 2: super glad. 765 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 3: My goodness. That was that was controlling times a million million. 766 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:46,800 Speaker 3: We've got another story coming up. Stay where you are. 767 00:33:47,080 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 2: My mother lied about my ancestry, so I forbid her 768 00:33:50,480 --> 00:33:51,640 Speaker 2: from meeting my kids. 769 00:33:51,920 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 3: You must stay away from me and my son. We're 770 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:56,440 Speaker 3: keeping it such a reference. 771 00:33:57,160 --> 00:34:00,200 Speaker 2: So for some background, I have known we'll call her 772 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,360 Speaker 2: Diana since we were eleven years old. I am twenty 773 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,080 Speaker 2: eight and she is thirty two. We were the last 774 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,240 Speaker 2: in our immediate family to do our ancestry DNA tests. 775 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:12,600 Speaker 2: Initially I did to find out my regions where else 776 00:34:12,640 --> 00:34:15,720 Speaker 2: I came from other than being Aboriginal. My big sister 777 00:34:15,840 --> 00:34:18,840 Speaker 2: Diana did hers for that reason too, but also because 778 00:34:18,840 --> 00:34:21,319 Speaker 2: she's always had a feeling that she doesn't belong to 779 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,160 Speaker 2: her biological dad, as she doesn't look like our big 780 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,080 Speaker 2: sister CALLI. By the way, this comes from user impossible 781 00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,600 Speaker 2: Swan seventy oh nine, direct from the r slash Okay 782 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,280 Speaker 2: short time subbured it and if you want to submit 783 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,920 Speaker 2: your own story, submit them there, and we're here to 784 00:34:34,920 --> 00:34:37,920 Speaker 2: give good advice. Goofly, But we don't have all the answers. 785 00:34:38,560 --> 00:34:40,719 Speaker 2: We only know what we'd do, so let us know 786 00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:43,719 Speaker 2: what you would do in the comments, Endop says. Diana's 787 00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,759 Speaker 2: results showed that our big sister, Calli, who she thought 788 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:49,800 Speaker 2: she shared a dad with, is actually her half sister. 789 00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,000 Speaker 2: My results revealed that my younger brother, James twenty and 790 00:34:53,080 --> 00:34:57,319 Speaker 2: his sister Alice nineteen are my half siblings, although I've 791 00:34:57,360 --> 00:35:02,920 Speaker 2: always known them to be my full siblings. Intrigue and shock, whoa, 792 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:06,520 Speaker 2: whoaa what it turns out Cally and I share the 793 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:11,200 Speaker 2: same biological father. After getting our results, Diana confronted our mother, Marie. 794 00:35:11,280 --> 00:35:15,800 Speaker 2: Marie denied everything, offered no apology, and showed no remorse. 795 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:19,040 Speaker 2: Three weeks later, when I got my results, she reacted 796 00:35:19,040 --> 00:35:22,400 Speaker 2: the same way. We spent four months searching for Diana's 797 00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:26,280 Speaker 2: biological dad. During this search, Marie only gave us three 798 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 2: names and didn't offer any help. With matches from ancestry 799 00:35:30,239 --> 00:35:34,000 Speaker 2: and family trees found online, we eventually found who this 800 00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 2: man is. This search was cut short a lot of 801 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:40,960 Speaker 2: times due to the impacts of stolen generations and genocide 802 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:45,120 Speaker 2: on family trees, as his grandmother was stolen from her mother. 803 00:35:45,400 --> 00:35:49,080 Speaker 2: After discussions with Diana's biological father, she found out that 804 00:35:49,200 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 2: he knew all, along with stories of taking her to 805 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,080 Speaker 2: spend time with his family when she was very young. 806 00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:58,920 Speaker 2: We thought Marie knew too, and confronted her again together, 807 00:35:59,120 --> 00:36:03,080 Speaker 2: seeking answers and accountability. We waited to get DNA confirmation 808 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:06,480 Speaker 2: with Diana's biological dad. We wanted her to admit the truth, 809 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:08,960 Speaker 2: and I wanted to know if she knew about my 810 00:36:09,080 --> 00:36:12,720 Speaker 2: biological father who passed away when I was four months old, 811 00:36:12,920 --> 00:36:17,240 Speaker 2: and hid that truth too. Marie still showed no remorse 812 00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:20,920 Speaker 2: or accountability. She refused to believe the ancestry results were accurate. 813 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,959 Speaker 2: She even denied that I belonged to my biological dad 814 00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,280 Speaker 2: and that my big sister Cally and I look alike, 815 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:30,560 Speaker 2: despite us being spitting images so much so that she 816 00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:35,239 Speaker 2: can unlock my phone with facial regulation. Why are we 817 00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:38,680 Speaker 2: denying the truth so hard? Just come out and say it, 818 00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:39,520 Speaker 2: You say, yeah, you. 819 00:36:39,560 --> 00:36:42,759 Speaker 3: Got me, You got me, caught exposed. 820 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 2: We tried to help her see, from our point of 821 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:48,080 Speaker 2: view as a mother, how she should have been with 822 00:36:48,200 --> 00:36:51,880 Speaker 2: my situation, just console me and apologize, and with Diana's 823 00:36:51,920 --> 00:36:55,800 Speaker 2: situation the same. Instead of giving Diana name, she should 824 00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:57,560 Speaker 2: have been the one to reach out to who she 825 00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:00,680 Speaker 2: thinks her father could be. And her response, why is 826 00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,200 Speaker 2: it up to me to find her father? Cause you lied? 827 00:37:03,480 --> 00:37:06,520 Speaker 2: Because you lied the whole time. Yeah, I mean it's 828 00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:08,160 Speaker 2: not even that it's up to you. It's just that 829 00:37:08,280 --> 00:37:11,040 Speaker 2: we could be doing this as a combined front. 830 00:37:11,239 --> 00:37:12,920 Speaker 3: You'd just like help out a little bit, be a 831 00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:14,040 Speaker 3: team player if you like. 832 00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:18,080 Speaker 2: It's not just the paternity lies themselves that have upset me, 833 00:37:18,239 --> 00:37:21,959 Speaker 2: it's how she treated us after we confronted her. She's 834 00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,879 Speaker 2: caused a rift between me and Diana and our two 835 00:37:24,920 --> 00:37:27,799 Speaker 2: other sisters, Callie and Alice, who live with her. She 836 00:37:27,920 --> 00:37:30,560 Speaker 2: even contacted my dad and told him some sort of 837 00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,120 Speaker 2: lie and turned him against me. He is not tech 838 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:36,719 Speaker 2: savvy in the slightest, so whatever she told him, he 839 00:37:36,760 --> 00:37:39,560 Speaker 2: would believe. She is more concerned with trying to protect 840 00:37:39,560 --> 00:37:42,719 Speaker 2: her image rather than caring about our feelings and what 841 00:37:42,760 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 2: we're going through. She has shut Diana and me out 842 00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:49,160 Speaker 2: of her life. Being an Indigenous Australian means a strong 843 00:37:49,239 --> 00:37:52,920 Speaker 2: connection to my country culture and heritage. It's my identity, 844 00:37:53,200 --> 00:37:56,400 Speaker 2: it's everything. Discovering these lies has made me feel like 845 00:37:56,480 --> 00:37:59,360 Speaker 2: my whole body is being ripped in half. It's an 846 00:37:59,400 --> 00:38:02,360 Speaker 2: indescribable feeling. Well, you just did describe it, and it 847 00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:06,360 Speaker 2: was pretty vivid, but yeah, it's I can understand that 848 00:38:06,480 --> 00:38:09,600 Speaker 2: being earth shattering. It's like you have this entire identity, 849 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,040 Speaker 2: your whole life, and then you realize, wait, it's not 850 00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:16,960 Speaker 2: all that I thought it was. There's another I'm yeah, 851 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:18,400 Speaker 2: it would be confusing. 852 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:20,520 Speaker 3: Totally, especially if she's been so weird about it. Yeah, 853 00:38:20,719 --> 00:38:24,120 Speaker 3: if she just kind of out outright said like, yeah, 854 00:38:24,160 --> 00:38:26,480 Speaker 3: my bad, I lied. Here's the truth, and then just 855 00:38:26,480 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 3: like actually let you in on the truth. But now 856 00:38:28,600 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 3: she's still being like all guarded and like avoiding about 857 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:34,200 Speaker 3: the situation. It's like, well, you're making it even. 858 00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:37,040 Speaker 2: More weird than it is. You're making it worse. You're 859 00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:37,680 Speaker 2: making it worse. 860 00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:37,840 Speaker 5: Ma. 861 00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:41,160 Speaker 2: It breaks my heart to know I have to relearn 862 00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,120 Speaker 2: everything I've known and explain this to my children, who 863 00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,799 Speaker 2: I've taught their whole lives, who they are and where 864 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,680 Speaker 2: they come from. I even stood in front of my 865 00:38:48,719 --> 00:38:50,680 Speaker 2: mother trying to explain these things to her while I 866 00:38:50,719 --> 00:38:53,560 Speaker 2: could barely talk through crying, and I still saw no 867 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,360 Speaker 2: shred of emotion from her. And we do have a 868 00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:59,919 Speaker 2: little bit more of this story left. I do think 869 00:39:00,280 --> 00:39:05,719 Speaker 2: your mother's coldness does warrant some level of disconnection from her. Yeah, 870 00:39:05,719 --> 00:39:07,520 Speaker 2: I don't know. It's just a lot. It's a lot, 871 00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:10,399 Speaker 2: a lot to process. Yeah, absolutely, and there's a little 872 00:39:10,440 --> 00:39:12,840 Speaker 2: bit more story. I've always considered how this may affect 873 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:15,239 Speaker 2: her since we found out, but I've had enough and 874 00:39:15,320 --> 00:39:17,880 Speaker 2: no longer give a care. Why should I when she 875 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,440 Speaker 2: can't even for a second put herself in my shoes 876 00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:22,640 Speaker 2: and give me a hug or ask if I'm okay. 877 00:39:22,800 --> 00:39:25,240 Speaker 2: I'm never one to let my personal feelings come between 878 00:39:25,239 --> 00:39:28,080 Speaker 2: my children's relationships with their family, but I do not 879 00:39:28,120 --> 00:39:30,760 Speaker 2: feel comfortable allowing her to be in my children's lives, 880 00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 2: given how little empathy she's shown towards these big revelations 881 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 2: that have changed my entire life. This has had such 882 00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 2: an impact on me and my sister's lives that I 883 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:43,200 Speaker 2: find myself being triggered by small things and breaking down crying. 884 00:39:43,360 --> 00:39:45,640 Speaker 2: I don't know how to move forward other than being 885 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:48,440 Speaker 2: there for Diana and staying strong for my kids. I 886 00:39:48,480 --> 00:39:51,279 Speaker 2: honestly don't think I can move forward with my mother 887 00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:55,480 Speaker 2: without an actual, genuine apology and accountability. And that's the 888 00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:57,080 Speaker 2: end of that story. And I think that's what you 889 00:39:57,120 --> 00:39:59,480 Speaker 2: should tell her. Yeah, you should say, hey, this is 890 00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:02,600 Speaker 2: a and I'm sure your mom is being very defensive 891 00:40:02,680 --> 00:40:07,520 Speaker 2: because it's like, yeah, entirely on her for being deceptive 892 00:40:07,719 --> 00:40:11,279 Speaker 2: or avoid end of this and then her reaction to it. Yeah, 893 00:40:11,600 --> 00:40:14,560 Speaker 2: I think you tell her that, and then maybe one 894 00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:17,440 Speaker 2: day she does that and then the door can open again. 895 00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:18,840 Speaker 2: That is the end of that story. 896 00:40:18,960 --> 00:40:19,560 Speaker 3: It sure is. 897 00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:23,720 Speaker 2: And we have some comments from a previous video.

But here's three minutes fads from our sponsors. 900 00:40:29,160 --> 00:40:32,399 Speaker 7: First, uh, this comment comes from video My girlfriend's CEO 901 00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:34,600 Speaker 7: groomed her for two years and assaulted her on a 902 00:40:34,719 --> 00:40:38,880 Speaker 7: work trip. Horrific Remember this one and that was posted 903 00:40:38,920 --> 00:40:40,799 Speaker 7: on December twelfth, twenty twenty five. 904 00:40:41,080 --> 00:40:45,279 Speaker 2: Here's the TLDR. OP warned his girlfriend for two years 905 00:40:45,320 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 2: that her boss wanted more than work. She said Op 906 00:40:47,440 --> 00:40:50,240 Speaker 2: was imagining it on a work trip. The boss finally 907 00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:52,680 Speaker 2: tried to have an affair and everything blew up. She 908 00:40:52,719 --> 00:40:56,279 Speaker 2: lost her job, then their finances fell apart and op 909 00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:59,759 Speaker 2: may have to move countries for work. Now op Is 910 00:40:59,760 --> 00:41:03,800 Speaker 2: are hurt and stuck choosing between leaving alone or starting 911 00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:07,680 Speaker 2: over together after everything came crashing down. If you're curious 912 00:41:07,719 --> 00:41:09,560 Speaker 2: to know the full story, you can go watch the 913 00:41:09,680 --> 00:41:10,919 Speaker 2: full video. 914 00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,319 Speaker 5: And we have some comments. 915 00:41:12,800 --> 00:41:15,799 Speaker 3: What a wild freaking story that was come at one. 916 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,959 Speaker 5: Lauren mcmurdy. In a situation like that, even if HR 917 00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,759 Speaker 5: is present, you go straight to an employment lawyer, and 918 00:41:22,800 --> 00:41:26,239 Speaker 5: then you go to HR with the lawyer. She's not 919 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,800 Speaker 5: calling OPI in an absolute panic when her sleezy boss 920 00:41:29,840 --> 00:41:33,200 Speaker 5: is volunteering to leave his wife and kids after she's 921 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:36,440 Speaker 5: had an affair. She'd do that after an affair if 922 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:38,720 Speaker 5: the sleeves bag wasn't going to leave his wife. 923 00:41:38,760 --> 00:41:40,080 Speaker 3: The reality is she. 924 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,359 Speaker 5: Feels guilt and shame because Opie told her about her 925 00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:46,759 Speaker 5: sleeves bag boss and she was so happy professionally that 926 00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,360 Speaker 5: she ignored those warnings. She feels stupid in circumstances like 927 00:41:50,400 --> 00:41:53,360 Speaker 5: this that would be heavy. But she needs an employment 928 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:56,439 Speaker 5: lawyer and should report him to the police as well. 929 00:41:56,800 --> 00:42:03,120 Speaker 2: Agreed that was good advice, Very very good thorough by 930 00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:04,960 Speaker 2: Rob Sledge. 931 00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:09,279 Speaker 5: Groupie My husband was so oblivious that I even told 932 00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:12,200 Speaker 5: him I'd really like to date you, presuming you're not 933 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:16,080 Speaker 5: seeing anyone, And it still took getting together several more 934 00:42:16,120 --> 00:42:18,160 Speaker 5: times for him to get the hint. And that was 935 00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,680 Speaker 5: after I'd been kind of chasing. 936 00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:21,520 Speaker 3: Him for two years. 937 00:42:21,800 --> 00:42:23,920 Speaker 5: Some people are more oblivious than others. 938 00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:29,400 Speaker 3: Interesting true words true words. That is, like very oblivious 939 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:33,040 Speaker 3: that that commenter said saying I would like to date you, 940 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:36,800 Speaker 3: I am interested in you romantically, and they're like, yeah, okay, 941 00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:37,400 Speaker 3: I don't know. 942 00:42:37,560 --> 00:42:39,719 Speaker 2: I think they might just want to be friends. Like 943 00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,960 Speaker 2: she's choking right, she's got bad jokes. 944 00:42:44,480 --> 00:42:46,359 Speaker 3: Yeah, you just like to near the tone of her 945 00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:47,200 Speaker 3: voice and a joke. 946 00:42:47,320 --> 00:42:50,680 Speaker 5: Comment three by hey hey uh one oh one oh one. 947 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,560 Speaker 5: I feel like the girlfriend wasn't given enough grace in 948 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,359 Speaker 5: the first story. They were horribly taken advantage of, so 949 00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:58,440 Speaker 5: it doesn't feel like the time to confront them about 950 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:01,560 Speaker 5: Opie's feelings. I don't remember the story, but I'm sure 951 00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:06,400 Speaker 5: commented four by k Bang You k a Bang You 952 00:43:07,200 --> 00:43:09,000 Speaker 5: twenty five, twenty nine. 953 00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:09,800 Speaker 2: Nice. 954 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:12,239 Speaker 5: One thing I pay attention to is if and how 955 00:43:12,360 --> 00:43:15,880 Speaker 5: someone takes responsibility for their part and actions. If someone 956 00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,080 Speaker 5: is able to admit their mistakes and is gracious towards themselves. 957 00:43:19,280 --> 00:43:22,799 Speaker 5: Do they have a personal feedback look to help them 958 00:43:23,080 --> 00:43:25,479 Speaker 5: learn from their mistakes and hopefully change for the better, 959 00:43:25,840 --> 00:43:28,600 Speaker 5: or do they only blame outside actors and forces. 960 00:43:29,160 --> 00:43:32,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean you gotta still look inward. Yeah, it's 961 00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:34,480 Speaker 2: it always pays to look inward. 962 00:43:34,160 --> 00:43:36,920 Speaker 3: Inside yourself emotionally and spiritually. 963 00:43:37,120 --> 00:43:39,680 Speaker 2: But I believe that was the last comment, that sure was, 964 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:42,239 Speaker 2: which means that's the end of that episode. So if 965 00:43:42,239 --> 00:43:44,120 Speaker 2: you love us, make sure you subscribe 966 00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:47,400 Speaker 3: We love you and see it tomorrow.
