Story 1: What an absolute failure of a parent. I hope he never finds his daughter and she never reconciles with him. He does not deserve forgiveness or a second chance.
S1: Bro. Even if my kids get in trouble, I never let them go to bed WITHOUT FOOD. Withholding food as punishment is NOT okay! Is that therapist okay?? They seem to be glossing over that woman abusing a child???
The therapist somehow made me angrier than OP It'd be one thing to encourage Diane to come clean and give OP a choice, when he has the facts...But I can't get over how she praised Diane for being 'brave' because she's admitting she tormented a child
@MiraTheWarlock Like I get how difficult it can be to get an abuser to admit these things but for real, like you said, the therapist was saying she was " brave"...and was happy...like she should not be a therpaist... an Diane is very...stoic about it that she is just upset she lost OP and not that she tortured a child.
He confused "peace" with "quiet." Peace is when everyone feels comfortable with their circumstances. Quiet is just a way to cope with being inconvenienced.
Story one: OP has no excuses he let his wife emotionally mentally and physically abused Maisie. Maisie is better off without that spineless excuse for a father
Story 1 : OP didn't even care to know where his daughter lives and what she has done with her life? That invalidates everything about him "believing Diane". He 100% didn't care about Maisie, regardless of Diane. He didn't spare Maisie one single thought after she left the house at 18, and probably even before that. He just remembered she exists when Diane mentioned her in therapy, and is now playing the victim. Nobody victimized him, not even the circumstances. It was all his own choices and his own doing.
You left you daughter with an abuser and your she left home the minute she could. Maisie hadn't had a stable home for years. You gave her nothing more than food and a place to sleep.
Oh yes diane is just "soooooooo braaaaaave" for admitting she tormented a CHILD for YEARS.! And he has zero right to put all the blame on Diane. His child came to him multiple times begging him to protect her. The child who had no problems until Diane created them. And he claims he was "blind" to it all. Nah, he knew the whole time. He just preferred getting some over his daughters mental health.
I think Diane was brave to talk through her behaviour. As a wife, she is entitled to the attention from her husband, and the stepdaughter being still in the picture would not allow this.
@@paulinejackson5861 If you have to torture a child to get attention from your husband, then you don't deserve it to begin with. Shame on you for justifying abuse of an innocent child.
@paulinejackson5861 are you so narcissistic as to believe the mere PRESENCE of another person interferes in you getting attention? Do you need people to be focused on you 100% 24/7? That's not attention, that's obsession.
The first story is very similar to another Reddit story I read about. In that one, the OP was in the exact same situation. The biggest difference is his wife was abusing their own bio daughter. Just like the first story here, the OP never believed his daughter until after she cut ties with them. What made the situation worse was OP’s son was covering for his mother because he’s the golden child. After 20+ years, it took his wife admitting the truth in a therapy session for him to finally believe his daughter.
I remember that story! The daughter also has her own child and the mother was abusing her granddaughter the same way she did the daughter And that's why the daughter finally went NC!
Story 1: You still don't love your daughter OP (at least not fully), you just regret who you see in the mirror. That fact that you didn't have a HINT of this until your wife willingly removed the blindfold you put on yourself suggests that you would never have cared enough to even try to reconnect by yourself till the very end. Now whenever you say you love her there's that layer of Regret over whatever amount of love you'll pretend you always had.
Wow, what a failure of a father. He doesn't really deserve to be a father to his daughter while letting his wife abused her and never believe his own daughter. He's way too spineless. Glad that she went NC with him. As for Diane, she deserved to be put into jail for putting Maisie through hell and what the hell is wrong with that therapist? There's no such thing as making amends, moving forward. What Maisie went through, it will take a long time to heal from wounds that hurt so deep. She had no one to rely on, not even her own father.
S1: He didn’t want to rock the boat? Guy, you’re supposed to be the captain of the boat, it’s your family. I’m really struggling with the concept that a previously loving single father would become this useless. Yes, Diane was/is a viper, but as presented the OP is a no-good husk of a human. If it were true and not fiction… he deserves every bit of that no-contact. No, he shouldn’t force a reconciliation with his daughter, but he should at least exert himself to ensure that she’s doing alright. What if his daughter is in a really bad situation due to the abuse she suffered? Assuming that ignorance is bliss would be the easy way out.
@ If she is safe and has found peace away from her abusive stepmother and pathetic father, i 100% agree with you. But what if she turned to alcohol or drugs to battle her demons? What if she’s now homeless for some reason? Whilst I don’t believe he should reach out to her in person (he has no right to impose that on her nor does he deserve such a relationship), there are probably ways of helping people anonymously if the determination exists.
There is no redemption possible for the 1st father. Absolutely cowardly, and despicable. Diane didn't manipulate him, he chose not to believe his daughter. He made that choice himself. His passivity has had catastrophic consequences.
S1: I will never understand these people who go into a relationship with someone who has kids if their self esteem and ego are so frail that the child is turned into "competition" for their partner's time. That is so many layers of creepy and disturbing.
S1: OP is a complete failure as a parent and deserves Diane. He was completely detached and let this stranger torture his daughter that he knew about. He acted as though the trip to the therapist was eye-opening, but he knew Diane treated her horribly even without the reveals. Don't understand why he's bothering to get divorced. S3: Addiction is a lifelong struggle, and I am glad that OP's daughter was strong enough to get the help and support she needs.
When they say they want to "Keep the peace" during family dynamics, it means that they would rather cop out and remain a doormat than grow a spine and stand up to some toxic family members
Well, you never know in these situations. It can very well be the opposite. Husband died. OP (wife) suffers being alone and a single mother who can't balance being a parent and a working adult. She then finds a man who she thinks can be a father to her daughter but then turns out to be an abuser (or worse, a PDFile who can easily gaslight both the mom and daughter). Daughter then leaves with a mental breakdown (or worse, commit a self deletion). OP mother divorces/puts her husband to prison and proceeds to visit her husband's grave to tell how much of a failure she is as a mother. Again, it can go both ways, sadly.
Only a few minutes in and...yeah, title fits. OP is a failure for a father. He can dress it up as 'well Diane said this' or how she's a second chance at happiness...but lets be real He picked getting laid over his own kid's safety Hope it was worth it, and if that girls smart she'll never speak to him again. He made a choice Edit 1: Wow when it comes to being a selfish parent, OPs the gift that just wont stop giving. Everyone's to blame but him. Like WOAH the audacity for blaming his daughter and late wife for his screw ups Edit 2: Yeaaaah no, I don't care the therapist's getting paid by Diane, confessing to hurting a kid isn't 'brave' or praise worthy. Edit 3: Okay so conclusion. OP is still no victim, and while Diane is the main culprit, he's still to blame. But okay he's not making himself the victim anymore, he's not trying to come with an excuse he's not pestering Maisie to forgive him and leaves her alone. He's not even divorcing Diane because he thinks he'll be rewarded having his daughter back, but because its the bare minimum, and honestly who'd be able to look at her? He's more mature than most of the problem OPs here. I'll give him that. Maybe someday Maisie ill reach out...but it's on her terms and only hers. If OP can accept that, maybe they'll figure it out. Do note, he's not entitled to even that. And make no mistake, being mad at Diane and getting rid of her is the bare minimum, a good amount of years too late. He's blown every chance he had. He needs to accept it, should Maisie not want to see him again. as for Diane's apologies....they're literally worth nothing. OPs right, Maisie's gone, so what good are they? She just wanted to feel better about herself and still have OP all to herself. She's not sorry she hurt Maisie. She's upset OP didn't buy this 'healing journey' BS she was selling
While I think OP should absolutely not contact her, I believe that absolute LEAST he can do is figure out what happened to her and make sure she is safe and in a safe environment. There's no telling where she ended up when she basically got kicked out at 18. For all he or anyone knows she could be on the street if not worse considering all that abuse she endured. Outside of that, he should not reach out and let her reach out to him, if she ever decides on her own to do so, and stay out of her life is she is safe and happy.
It's the fact that he blames his dead wife that gets me. Going full "why did you have to die and make things hard for everyone" Are you fucking kidding me
Story 1: He cared more about wanting Diane to fill the lack of a partner than his own daughters safety and well being. Op failed in every way imaginable as a father.
story 1 he needs to make sure, quietly and without disturbing her, that she’s okay. cause if she’s not living this great life ppl for some reason think everyone who escapes a bad situation lives, he should at least let her know he’s here even if it’s just as a bank account
Story 1 Am I the only one who suspects Diane waited so long to confess to make sure any kind of reconciliation is out of the window and Op has only her? Like she confessed she wanted to isolate Maisi and all your attention. She thought she won
@@dognose8518 I believe by law, therapists had to inform legal authorities if their patients confess about abusing children or someone else or even self harm.
I'm with you. This man is a pathetic worm. No decisiveness. No paternal instinct. Just a desire to keep things quiet in his house. I hope this experience taught him the real value of "keeping the peace." It's an excuse to let the predatory, manipulative people in this world do what they want. Never keep peace when doing so means others suffer.
If this story is true, she's a monster and he, the OP, is a failure of a person, not just a father. Out of all the "blended" families I know, only one didn't have crippling faults and dysfunctions. Even when the step-parent is a decent person, priorities always come into play one way or another which never occur in a non-blended family -- Especially if step-children are involved, and the step-parent holds their child/children above their step-children in priority (which is natural, since they're their kids/blood). What's worse is when the new couple have a child, and the new parent wants to push away/force away the "old family" since they have a "new family" now. We see this with Diane here, sans them having a new child. Don't date single parents, guys and girls. Unless you're the lucky one-out-of-ten, it doesn't end well for everyone involved.
S1: So, after all the years of abuse that OP enabled, he isn’t even going to attempt to find his poor daughter to ensure she’s ok? Did I hear that correctly?! I mean, OP shouldn’t make contact with her, per se, but just see for himself that she’s not struggling. He can hire a PI to track her down and secretly help her from afar. That’s the very least he should do. He needs to man up and be the type of father he should’ve been all along: strongly supportive and loving. That’s what I would do.
Agree. Assuming that she’s okay and carrying on with his own life is the lazy, easy choice. He’s just repeating the same patterns of behaviour from when his daughter was a child.
Also, teens are supposed to be difficult and rebellious. They're gonna have to find their own way around the world this is just them testing the waters. Sure set boundaries and standards for the little shits but ffs not this.
Story 1: gonna give a hot take here, but i think OP needs to find his daughter and reach out, just to make sure shes doing ok. God only knows what the girls support structure is like right now, and if shes in a hole he owes her big time.
Es devastador leer cómo una hija sufrió tanto tiempo sin apoyo. Los padres tienen la responsabilidad de proteger y priorizar el bienestar de sus hijos. Espero que ella encuentre la ayuda y el amor que merece.
What even is the point of divorcing her? Honestly at this point, if you care enough for your daughter, your wife would be in he ll and not wasting any more oxygen.
Story 1: What a horrible POS of a father.. Yea you Failed the promise you had to your late wife and you don't deserve sympathy. You ruined your daughters childhood. I Hope she's ok honestly. Oh and that Therapist needs to be REPORTED and FIRED.
Story 1 : No matter how op describes himself as guilty i refuse to believe that he is actually guilty. Whta a horrible father anyone can have . I hope op's daughter have a good life without these toxic people. Thses two bastards really deserves each other
Story 1 makes me so sad and angry. What sort of prick (parent of otherwise) can look at someone breaking down and begging for help and...oh holy fuck. Then, after she left...That last email she sent...he didn't check in on her? FOR MONTHS?!? His eighteen year old daughter...left home...AND HE DID NOT CHECK ON HER! He's grossly misinterpretted her final email. "I'm fine, don't worry." No wonder she didn't reply. The only positive thing I can think of to say about him is.....
If the story true the only thing that the “dad” did right is divorcing the stepmonster so they both can be alone filled with regrets and sadness, and know this they both earned it for rest of their pathetic life.
Story 1 is infuriating but at no point did he not take accountability. Yes he screwed up but he never asked for sympathy and did take full responsibility Story 2 is bananas 😂
Op's wife is a powerful narcissist, she got exactly what she wanted and that was to successfully cause a wedge between Op and his daughter. Total cow!!!
S1: the all history was him trying to get sympathy, he barely talks about the daughter or with he did with his wife. His is a …. TH-cam don’t aloud me address what he is
Alot of revenge comments (understandable) but short sighted. I believe if someone takes accountability no matter if its late, now has the key to repair what was broken inside or out... It wont fix the past but it can build a better future. Burying your hand in the sand with guilt is selfish and lazy. Make sure your daughter is okay regardless, just because you failed doesn't mean you need to keep failing.
Story 1: What an absolute failure of a parent.
I hope he never finds his daughter and she never reconciles with him. He does not deserve forgiveness or a second chance.

This... The moment he said a "punishment" was to go to bed without food I knew no matter what this was abuse. F this dude.
I hate people who keep the peace there's a difference between being peaceful and being a doormat and letting bad things happen
I always remember a line from the movie First Knight "there is a peace that can only be found on the other side of war"
He confused "peace" with "quiet." Peace is when everyone feels comfortable with their circumstances. Quiet is just a way to cope with being inconvenienced.
He'd have to work his way up to doormat.
He literally blamed his dead 1st wife because it was easier
Keeping the peace is another word for I don't want to do anything about it

What even is the point of divorcing her? Honestly at this point, if you care enough for your daughter, your wife would be in he ll and not wasting any more oxygen.
Story 1: What a horrible POS of a father.. Yea you Failed the promise you had to your late wife and you don't deserve sympathy. You ruined your daughters childhood. I Hope she's ok honestly. Oh and that Therapist needs to be REPORTED and FIRED.
Story 1 : No matter how op describes himself as guilty i refuse to believe that he is actually guilty. Whta a horrible father anyone can have . I hope op's daughter have a good life without these toxic people. Thses two bastards really deserves each other
Story 1 makes me so sad and angry. What sort of prick (parent of otherwise) can look at someone breaking down and begging for help and...oh holy fuck. Then, after she left...That last email she sent...he didn't check in on her? FOR MONTHS?!? His eighteen year old daughter...left home...AND HE DID NOT CHECK ON HER! He's grossly misinterpretted her final email. "I'm fine, don't worry." No wonder she didn't reply.
The only positive thing I can think of to say about him is.....
If the story true the only thing that the “dad” did right is divorcing the stepmonster so they both can be alone filled with regrets and sadness, and know this they both earned it for rest of their pathetic life.
What even is the point?
Story1 feels very ai generated. If it’s not then op is the most spineless, selfish asshole
I remember this story not sure if it is the same but there was also a golden child brother who also abused her
Story 1 is infuriating but at no point did he not take accountability. Yes he screwed up but he never asked for sympathy and did take full responsibility
Story 2 is bananas 😂
The video in the background is infuriating. It's a seizure in the making. Cut that crap.
Story 1: that dad failed his child
Op's wife is a powerful narcissist, she got exactly what she wanted and that was to successfully cause a wedge between Op and his daughter.
Total cow!!!
@@sambrown2322 Agreed. I may not have kids, but any new partner would not come before my kids
4:02 PALPABLE
9:32 "whirlwind of memories." The AI was trying so hard to work in another of its favorite phrases, but "whirlwind of emotions" didn't fit.
S1: the all history was him trying to get sympathy, he barely talks about the daughter or with he did with his wife. His is a …. TH-cam don’t aloud me address what he is
S1: what a pathetic excuse for a father
Alot of revenge comments (understandable) but short sighted. I believe if someone takes accountability no matter if its late, now has the key to repair what was broken inside or out... It wont fix the past but it can build a better future. Burying your hand in the sand with guilt is selfish and lazy. Make sure your daughter is okay regardless, just because you failed doesn't mean you need to keep failing.
