Yeah and it was such a sad story, poor abused woman never had a chance and she blamed herself, as if smoking kills you that young, normally that wouldn't be the case. But at least her friends appreciated her and had the funds to make her end far better than it would otherwise be. Horrible in the U.S that you have to work until you die because you have to pay your rent and hospital bills.
Yeah. May Michelle's memory be a blessing, may her daughter have a joyful life, and may they adopted family (because the family adopted both her and her daughter) have peace and love all the days.
The update on Michelle's story hurt. God damn. My mother also got stage four cancer, and while the body survived the heart and soul did not, and I had to helplessly watch as the pain turned her into a cruel and abusive woman. It hurts every day to know I lost her, even though she us still alive, and that I will likely never be able to see or talk to her again without suffering more abuse from her. I'm sure the narrator will be proud to know that I have an appointment with my therapist friday, and I plan to talk with him about how to move on from someone still alive. Hopefully they can help.
My dad has Parkinsons and chronic pain. I also have chronic pain. Can confirm that pain can turn you into a monster. I also have to deal with the anger and emotional outbursts of Parkinsons. It hurts like hell to go through on both sides. I hope therapy is helping you. Remember that no matter what happens to/with your mom, it is not your fault and you aren't alone. It can be so hard to grieve the loss of the person you knew and loved when they are still physically there. People tend to give you a lot of crap for "abandoning" them while they themselves have never had to make that heartbreaking decision. Give yourself grace. Be kind to yourself. Remember that you have to put your well-being and mental health first, and doing so is absolutely NOT selfish. Best lof luck in your situation, love. ❤
...The Michelle Story...Relatable, since my grandma had cancer. SQC, I think...Went from not life threatening, To....*...The best way to describe it is Torturous to see...* couldn't be there for her last day...and I still think it's my fault.
She should have just broke up with him and not strung him along like that. She's a coward to pull this and not even be honest about what she wanted. You can't just expect someone to be a mind reader and know wtf goes through your mind.
Im laying in my room SOBBING. The way Michelle wrote was so sweet, you could tell she loved her daughter so much. Im so glad her little girl will have parents that love her. I needed a kinute after that story because of all the feels
Story #2. Wow just wow. That was so heartbreaking…. Michelle you did not fail as a parent. You did the best thing a loving parent could do, you took care of your child and made sure she will have the best life possible. Rest easy Michelle😢❤
Story 1: buddy is in his own bubble. She wasn't open and honest with him, he was with her and assumed it went both ways. She left to cheat and found it, people don't fuck off to other countries like that without a good job offer, a relationship, or to run away and she doesn't check off two of those boxes. She's a spineless coward and should have just left him and he's spineless to have let it continue. Hopefully he learns more from this than he thinks he has
Guy seemed far over emotional. Thought he was going to write some poetry in his post. He knew he was going to break up but couldnt stop from contacting her? Yeah, thats the acts of someone thats not aware of the situation.
@jonny.f4803 quite true. He talks like he's 19, I know I and many others felt so "romantic" and "understanding of the nature of people" at that age. Nothing points more to his inexperience with life than his defense of the ex and unwillingness to accept the end
Story 2 - I'm sobbing. Rest in Peace. Michelle. Thank you to her friend and the family for taking in her precious little one. God, I cannot stop crying. What a beautiful soul she is. ❤☁👼
"A real adult relationship with honesty and transparency" ... Says the guy with the girlfriend who buggered off on a solo-world trip without her boyfriend but with 'Travel friends' and ignored him for weeks. Spoiler: She probably had tons of sex away from him and is using the holiday to break up with him.
I will do a solo trip without my boyfriend because it was planned before meeting him but I will called him everyday if he wishes to Solo trip aren't a bad thing it depends on how you do them
100% this guy has his head in the sand, when she says she's "finding herself" he think that means going from regular relationship s*x to 100% celibate lmao, there's a 0% chance of that happening if she's not even contacting him. It just means someone else is meeting her needs for her and it's not him.
Story 1: OP needs to let go of the relationship and the ex gf and not, under any circumstances, let her back into his life. He displays clear co-dependent qualities and she was young and inexperienced when they started dating. If he doesn’t, he’ll just torture himself until she graces him as being her safety / back up option and he’ll double down on the co-dependency.
Yea I agree. His view on the relationship and stuff seems pretty immature and misguided. I honestly do not blame her really for ending it, since her reason was pretty valid. She never experienced living her life alone and independent, and he was her only partner from when she was 18. Honestly imo it's not really good to go into a serious long term relationship that young and then settle with the first person. Relationship experience is important to make a educated decision on something like marriage and to be able to recognize toxic behaviors or partners and more.
"Just little things that started ringing alarm bells." The "I want to travel for 3 months, alone." Didn't ring an alarm bell? Really? If my partner started planning a 3 month vacation without me I'd tell him to not bother coming back afterwards. Smh.
Thank you! If you're in a committed relationship like that (especially as long as they were together) traveling alone/with your friends is something single people do. You don't do things that single people do in a relationship because it's disrespectful to the person you're with. He should've told her exactly what you said but sadly, he was a spineless coward
i agree 100% if my boyfriend tells me *hey i wanna go to vacation for 3 months in ....................... i would ask cool and when we wanna go? wait i said I GO you stay here........ok you will need a much bigger suitcase for the trip...because you can take ALL your stuff with you, no matter how long we were in relationship, thats just plain disrespectful
A real adult relationship could leave for months alone with this framing. Honestly other than ignoring conversations with her partner, I do think this was a mature adult thing to do. If you're lease is up and you just got out of a bad work environment, it makes sense that you might need a chance to reset and all people need personal time. He seemed to be supportive and it meant he could stay with his friend until they could find another living situation. All of it makes perfect sense from a mature perspective. Especially since she's taken trips alone since before they were together and trips alone may have deep meaning for her and be important to her while still loving him and being loyal. Even if her point was reconsidering if the trajectory of her life was what she wanted, being willing to separate yourself from a person you love and adore to consider if what they want aligns with your own wants is mature. It is a form of respecting yourself and respecting your partner as well. It isn't fair to force yourself to be unhappy with someone or you'll begin to resent them. The immature thing was hiding and not talking and ignoring the conversation. That doesn't mean she would cheat though. It is possible to go on a trip to relax and come back and continue a very healthy relationship just as it's still mature to leave for months and realize your relationship isn't what's healthiest for the both of you. But even so her doing an immature thing does not mean their whole relationship was immature. Basically, it is possible to separate from someone for a short time and have "mature" intentions and a "mature" relationship. I think all of that is rather mature except the ghosting. And one incident of immaturity in such a turbulent situation doesn't erase 6 years of a mature relationship. She admitted she was in the wrong, they left amicably, and that's maturity. Wild to think if a person is okay with their spouse wanting a vacation alone for a while that that's immature or that a person wanting to take a personal vacation after leaving a stressful situation to recooperate is immature. Sometimes we need space and respecting that space is mature. Tldr; I disagree with you lmao
@@abarbienamedken3334 I did not read more than the first paragraph. But 3 months to vacation on your own? There’s a difference between obligations and choosing to be without your partner. If your bar is lower than that, that’s on you.
@@leamubiu hard to believe it would be a mutually healthy one though. Like here, it seems op use to comply with anything even if it made them unhappy. Let’s be real, there’s a huge difference between obligations that cause the separation and straight up planning to have a great time without your partner for 3 months to the point of not reaching back home.
@@ZomBeeQueeen I planned all my life to go 3 month in Greece. It is my childhood dreams. If my new partner tried to deprive me from this then he is not the good one. I will do it no matter what
Rest in peace Michelle. Your little poppy will grow a beautiful garden with your love and her adoptive family's love. I have no doubt of that. Love is never wasted. ❤
I was literally crying reading the second story. I felt so bad for her how she grew up in a foster home and had a lovely little girl to care for, only to be diagnosed with a life ending illness. She didn't deserve that. I am thankful for the other family that the little girl went to a good home after she passed away. This so sad but knowing the little girl will be well taken care of by a loving family who really wants her makes it a very happy ending in a way. At least she doesn't have that hanging over her head.
The last story’s background almost caused me a breakdown. My family is near identical spare the father’s involvement. Instead I have my stepdad. My mother wasn’t even young, she was just an addict. Now my mom is trying to deny her neglect and is trying to keep me from finding my biological father. I was finally feeling free from my mother when she got pregnant with my sister. She didn’t even try moving closer for me to live with her. Instead she ignored all my reasons not to move in with her, straight up lying about statistics between the schools. Hearing people say that OP isn’t the a hole for telling his parents off made me realize that I shouldn’t have to stay silent. I don’t even think neglect covers how bad it was considering my therapist used the term abuse to refer to it. My mother raised me with a mindset that everything is my fault; regardless of whether I actually did anything it was my fault; regardless of how young I was it would always be my fault. I am lucky I don’t have scars after an incident where her neglect left me with burns across my stomach when I was seven since she left to her room with potatoes boiling on the stove. She would also use my room at her house for storage so I would have to sleep in her, cigarette smoke filled, room where she would have murder documentaries, including recreations of the crimes, playing as she slept, meanwhile I had extreme insomnia that she knew about. This all doesn’t even scratch the surface. My grandmother, who raised me, just wants to live and let live and wants me to forgive her. I’m just so fucking tired.
S2: I knew it! Someone will have problem that OP bring up about race and that kinda make me mad She did it not because she's racist, but she knew that are many people outside that's racist. This kind of people are not so kind toward mixed blood and cross race adoption. I have nothing but respect toward Michelle. She plans and calculate everything. Rest In peace
Hmmm... I'm a little surprised Narrator didn't comment on Story 2. I mean, I get it. It was a lot to digest. R.I.P. Michelle. Even if it was through a Reddit post, that she loves and worries so much for her daughter tells us she was one of the good ones.
In the last story... Some women aren't _meant_ to be mothers. I wish everyone could hear this poor kid's story and experiences and take to heart that this is true, that this happens to people _before_ they decide it's a fantastic idea to ask a young woman why they don't have kids yet. Maybe that young woman knows something about herself that you don't. Certainly, someone convincing this "mother" god only knows what kind nasty things to convince her to keep her children out of fear didn't make her value them, it ended in one very bitter teenager and a newborn being slapped. For all the terrible things that shouldn't have happened to that OOP, the horrifying thing is that he was one of the luckier ones to have such amazing grandparents.
The broom thing is a bit odd. Like I usually think weddings are about the bride but her trying to misguidedly shoehorn in some cultural thing on their behalf and then getting upset about it is silly and a bit insulting.
Sounds like the in-laws have a fixed idea about All Black People, and can't bear to have those ideas challenged. The MIL probably thinks anyone of Asian descent eats egg rolls at every meal.
That second story had be BAWLING. I lost my Mom to Lung Cancer, and the added hurt of OP and her daughter being SO young and how beautiful her friend's family was to her and her daughter 😭💔😭💔😭💔😭 I want my Mom so badly now
Rest in Peace Michelle. You didn’t fail as a parent, I promise. You cared and loved your child- that’s what matters. I hope you somehow are able to read this or feel the impact you and your story had on random people. You left behind more than just that painting 😭
oh, thank you. i got my tshirt and pants all on my own. my shirt has the nasa symbol on it and my pants are super comfy :) i'm quite proud of them both. i'd gotten off the streets a few years ago and it's taken me a lot time to actually be able to start providing for myself. i know it was just a silly compliment but it actually made me feel proud of myself for a moment.. seriously, thank you
She was only 18 when they started dating and they never had arguments, she was probably molding herself into exactly what he wanted. So now she no longer wants to be that person, it's crappy that she needed to be away from him for months to get that out there. I hope she stays safe on her travels because it's all parties and games out there but condoms still matter .
that story towards the back end. about the teen parents and ahole mom. I'm kinda hung up on grandma/pas comment about the parents being in a different phase in life. sure maybe dad. but mom exploding and calling the child she neglected for 16 years a brat, has not changed in the slightest. still a selfish little princess
Last story. I'm disappointed in the father. I get that.He was a way it college and that he's making good now.But he had two children over the span of sixteen years with this woman and couldn't see that she was abusing them all the time ? It just shows how absent he has been.
At least he's trying to make things right. There's quite a few who wouldn't accept any accountability at all for what happened and rather bury their heads in the sand or just plain run away. He's flawed but at least he's trying even if he's stumbled pretty bad being so incredibly naive and gullible. At least OP is building a better relationship with his father and paternal side of the family along with adoring his little sister. He certainly won't win any father-of-the-year awards, but at least he's nowhere near the bottom of worst fathers possible.
Jumping the broom is not an American tradition. It is suspected to orginate in west africa, ghana, wales, or britian. I agree that mil is crazy for insisting on it but you should at least get the facts correct.
@@availanila What do you mean? These two could meet at college. That is a freshman dating an upper classmen, not someone fresh off their doctorate cruising the high school graduation ceremony for a date. That age gap could be taking classes together. That age gap could be going to the same parties and have the same friends.
@@YourWaywardDestiny didn't he say they were British?? If so, that guy had already graduated and this woman was just entering. It'd be exactly like cruising highschool graduation on your way out of uni graduation fir a girlfriend. Then he went on about "all the guys she's experienced with but not dated" meaning he was well aware of how young she truly was and was softening the blow. Four years is nothing depending on when you start dating and this guy was operating on the legal limit assumption with this one if he went as far as pointing out her simultaneous lots of and lack of experience even overlooking the gf's stating only her lack of. He's very codependent and hooked a girl with no experience and she's just reaching the age she's finding herself and needing her space... one way or another she got it and let's hope she matured enough to fully know herself in case she ever gets back on that stifling relationship.
@@availanila If they said they were British and not just living in Britain, I didn't catch it... That does change things if I glossed over it in how weird it was in the first place. British college age is basically highschool, 16ish to 18ish. And 18 is legal drinking age there, so it all still applies about how and where and why they could have met, she wasn't just entering college by any means. Either way, I think the age gap is still less of a thing to worry about than the codependency. If he updates having moved along to another 18 year old, there's no room for the benefit of the doubt, but I'm not going to jump to problematic for two people of legal adult age who could have ridden the same bus to primary school for a solid few years.
That second story HURT man, like... I'm glad for her daughter, but DAMN that hurt.
RIP Michelle.
Tell me about it. I'm currently trying to dry my eyes. RIP Michelle.

Jumping the broom's not even that old! It was invented in the 19th century!
Rest in Peace Michelle. You didn’t fail as a parent, I promise. You cared and loved your child- that’s what matters. I hope you somehow are able to read this or feel the impact you and your story had on random people. You left behind more than just that painting 😭
Hot damn story 2 really hit the feels
S2: R.I.P. Michelle 😢
RIP Michelle, come on! Why u gotta cut unions in my room @ReallySparked?!
Gotta love the Gray gameplay in the bg ❤
Kind of looked like Journey, only 2D.
Gosh, i started to cry at work because of the second story ! To much felling. It hurt !
I had to pause the video after story two because I couldn't stop crying.
The second story almost made me crying
oh, thank you. i got my tshirt and pants all on my own. my shirt has the nasa symbol on it and my pants are super comfy :) i'm quite proud of them both. i'd gotten off the streets a few years ago and it's taken me a lot time to actually be able to start providing for myself. i know it was just a silly compliment but it actually made me feel proud of myself for a moment.. seriously, thank you
Mazel tov for getting off the street, my dude! You sound badass!
@@SewardWriter thank you so much. seriously. been working my ass off recently. this just gave me one hell of a confidence boost
In that last story, I could see the mother having BPD
She was only 18 when they started dating and they never had arguments, she was probably molding herself into exactly what he wanted. So now she no longer wants to be that person, it's crappy that she needed to be away from him for months to get that out there. I hope she stays safe on her travels because it's all parties and games out there but condoms still matter .
Story 2… I think I’m gonna go and hug my mom tightly
Reallysparked~good night! epic travel~✨
Second story had me crying while blowdrying dogs at work
33:03 OP needs to copy and paste that entire response 💯
1st story, you been with this woman for 6 years and never ask her to marry you? That's why she left. Or she grew up.
that story towards the back end. about the teen parents and ahole mom.
I'm kinda hung up on grandma/pas comment about the parents being in a different phase in life. sure maybe dad. but mom exploding and calling the child she neglected for 16 years a brat, has not changed in the slightest. still a selfish little princess
I was crying at story 2
Wyoming is the west.... not west coast
Lol I experienced the first story but I was the one who went abroad and got dumped!!😂almost killed myself!
Story 1: Yeah, she definitely cheated, idc what she said.
Last story. I'm disappointed in the father. I get that.He was a way it college and that he's making good now.But he had two children over the span of sixteen years with this woman and couldn't see that she was abusing them all the time ? It just shows how absent he has been.
At least he's trying to make things right. There's quite a few who wouldn't accept any accountability at all for what happened and rather bury their heads in the sand or just plain run away. He's flawed but at least he's trying even if he's stumbled pretty bad being so incredibly naive and gullible. At least OP is building a better relationship with his father and paternal side of the family along with adoring his little sister. He certainly won't win any father-of-the-year awards, but at least he's nowhere near the bottom of worst fathers possible.
What game is in the BG? It looks fun!
It's called Gris I think
I think it's called Gris
what is the first game?
I'm pretty sure it's Gris. It's a masterpiece of a game!
Jumping the broom is not an American tradition. It is suspected to orginate in west africa, ghana, wales, or britian. I agree that mil is crazy for insisting on it but you should at least get the facts correct.
Why did he need to give himself a name? 😂
Jumping the broom? 🤔
22m and 18f
I'm a little bit of an old person. are we cool with that age difference?
I didn't like it either, this was someone out of uni going after someone out of high school.
@@availanila What do you mean? These two could meet at college. That is a freshman dating an upper classmen, not someone fresh off their doctorate cruising the high school graduation ceremony for a date. That age gap could be taking classes together. That age gap could be going to the same parties and have the same friends.
Depends when they met, if they met when the one was still under 18 then gross, but if they met once she was 18 it’s more of a ehhhhh
@@YourWaywardDestiny didn't he say they were British?? If so, that guy had already graduated and this woman was just entering. It'd be exactly like cruising highschool graduation on your way out of uni graduation fir a girlfriend. Then he went on about "all the guys she's experienced with but not dated" meaning he was well aware of how young she truly was and was softening the blow. Four years is nothing depending on when you start dating and this guy was operating on the legal limit assumption with this one if he went as far as pointing out her simultaneous lots of and lack of experience even overlooking the gf's stating only her lack of. He's very codependent and hooked a girl with no experience and she's just reaching the age she's finding herself and needing her space... one way or another she got it and let's hope she matured enough to fully know herself in case she ever gets back on that stifling relationship.
@@availanila If they said they were British and not just living in Britain, I didn't catch it... That does change things if I glossed over it in how weird it was in the first place. British college age is basically highschool, 16ish to 18ish. And 18 is legal drinking age there, so it all still applies about how and where and why they could have met, she wasn't just entering college by any means. Either way, I think the age gap is still less of a thing to worry about than the codependency. If he updates having moved along to another 18 year old, there's no room for the benefit of the doubt, but I'm not going to jump to problematic for two people of legal adult age who could have ridden the same bus to primary school for a solid few years.
Hi story 2 god damn
Last story, did OP called he mom egg donor? (^_^;)
i just listened to story on another channel and COULD NOT listen again it was sosososo sad but a great bittersweet ending
story 3 is BEYOND disrespectful. nta. they were not enslaved in america and jumping the broom is rooted in said slavery
💯💯💯, Notice how the mother-in-law made herself.The victim particularly using the word "slaved" over the broom
