The best part of this story was how quick op's egg and sperm donor were to jump on mike as soon as he made himself a conveniant scapegoat. A misunderstanding, my butt. The worst part is they lied about why they missed op's wedding. Screw them. They're not sorry. They're upset the consequences of their decisions have finally caught up to them. They can't beat op into submission like they did when she was a child. It's completely baffling how far backwards mom's family are willing to bend to blame everything on op. Op needs to keep this attitude strong in the future because they will come back if they hear op has any children.
OP, you didn't take things far enough....they stole your college fund. That's a breach of financial responsibility, at least. Sue your mother, and since your brother benefited from it, sue him too. And, if you can, consult a lawyer and with law enforcement to see what possible charges you can make stick ( larceny, fraud, harassment, etc.) get a restraining order if possible.
5:20 I’m glad the majority is finally on her side Tell the aunties “she knew. I told her repeatedly and she dismissed me every time. She’s just lying now to safe face.” Tell the grandparents “atonement? She’s sad, that’s a difference. Hollow apologies don’t mean she’s actually remorseful.” And then block everyone who still tries to argue afterwards.
The 3 of them are lying. They all knew about her wedding. For years these 3 have missed about every function important to her including both graduations. They came up with the lie the brother threw away the wedding invitation, then erased the email just so OP wouldn't be calling out the parents to everyone. Gosh these folks have Zero shame.
Ah, classic. A golden child and scapegoat. You know what happens in that scenario when the scapegoat is gone? Someone ELSE becomes the scapegoat. I have a feeling it'd be DAD next, as mum and son have always teamed up. He's desperate to not become the next victim, so he intends to flee. And every bridge around him is burning while the family gathered around OP, so all he can do is desperately appeal to his former victim to grant him a lifeline because he KNOWS nobody else will so long as the OP keeps turning her back.
OP all you need to grill in your head is that DNA doesn't automatically make people "family". Family is made out of the people who LOVES you, SUPPORTS you, and have YOUR BACK not matter what. Wishing you and Lucas a WONDERFUL life together.
@@Doggypaddle8she could have tried 😂😂😂 but remember that half of the wedding guests are from the groom’s side AND she has several relatives on her side (including grandfather and aunt) that would call them out!
I’ve listened to so many Reddit stories about family drama / golden child and scapegoats that I am rarely shocked by them anymore but this one shook me
This Story: NTA. As awful as this was from your mother and brother, so proud for how the OP handled this. No notes, full marks. Update: My god....I just cant believe how absolutely F****** rotten family can be. Family is supposed to love each other. Thank goodness you have Lucas now to help you stand firm in your stance. Update 2: Not harsh enough. I mean, dear god. this is satisfying to read/listen to, you getting your words out on them and torching their lives in the process (Well deserved) but i can only imagine how gut wrenching this must have been to actually go through. I would have done far worse and probably paid the price. OP, you handled this crapshow as well as it could be handled. Now go. Get therapy, enjoy your life with the family you still trust, do everything you can to put this behind you. Dont give those AHs another second of your life.
However I still think OP should send those horrible messages from her mom’s flying monkeys to employers, church members, etc so they can get a taste of karma.
The update is both so happy and so sad. Glad she cut off her family, but her family is so awful that I’m sad she had to go through that in the first place
Perhaps if she'd gotten a response other than 'thats great' and ops narcissist mom changed the subject to rave on about the useless golden boy, op may have told them that it was, in fact, her wedding that was being planned. The mom is simply an uncaring narcissist when it comes to op.
Story 1: OP didn't start the fire. It was always burning since her brother was born. Now it's been unleashed, and her parents and brother are getting burned by the flames they could have put out if they had been better people.
If this story is true, then I don't believe the parents didn't know about the wedding. There were just too much gossip and discussion going on for them to have missed it. Just to have heard even a smidgen about it, normal parents would have asked, "What?"
So the mother thought her daughter was delusional and yet was discussing the event with the entire family, and the mother never cared enough to actually, I don’t know, confront her or get the family to speak to her. How much could she have really been bothered with multiple Disney trips on her schedule?
It's pretty common to have moms be jealous of their daughters. It's a result of deep insecurity, which is absorb d from society that tells women that her entire worth is youth, breedability, and beauty. Also, the mom realizes that she is aging while her daughter is coming into her prime. Happens to men and their sons, too; expecially to those hyper masculine "alpha" dude bro types who raise a son yo fulfill their own unrealized dreams. It's pathetic because all of it is dysfunctional. This often happens unconsciously to these sad types, they have children to bolster their own way egos only to spend their lives obsessing over and/or tearing down their offspring. Also, a mother who pours her whole world into her son in a pseudo-sexual codependent relationship is also another psychological trope/archetype. The weird thing in this case is that the husband/father is still there. This means that the husband/father is one of those brow beaten, zero balls type that survives through day to day in order to keep the peace due to a shrew/bully of a wife. The pathetic thing is that these people should have gone to therapy and dealt with their demons before ever raising another generation of traumatized/useless adults, and they are the same ones who comment on childless peers being selfish. Imagine the irony.
She was told. She automatically dismissed you for something or else of your brothers again. Ask where was she all the times. She can cry now. Be done with her nonsense
I love how OP didn't just hot the NC button, but she slammed the NUCLEAR OPTION button after hearing the truth about where they actually were and how it happened. She has a right to her space from her genetic donors (they aren't worth being called family.
And where were all these nosy relatives when parents used OP college fund to buy bro a car and house??? They didn’t care then so they don’t get an opinion.
It’s actually hilarious how blatantly clear it is that all of Op’s family are a group of toxic assholes and they’re only upset because there is literally NO way for them to deny how awful they are to you. I’m glad this story had a happy ending and i hope Op and Lucas are ridiculously happy together

Sounds about right. Wouldn’t be the first time which is sad. It sucks how men and women find themselves in these awful situations. He can always try to repair his relationship with his daughter without the psycho wife and useless son.
Trying to maintain toxic family relationships is like planting stones in the dirt to grow a rock garden. It’s a whole lot of wasted time and effort on something that will never grow. It’s a dumb idea and in the end you look and feel like a complete idiot for doing it
Story #1: OP... DO NOTHING!! Just get on with your life, ignore the phone calls and DO NOT engage with either your parents OR your Brother. Do not discuss the matter with other family, you've HAD your say. Do Nothing, Say nothing, and let the chips fall where they may.
The girl doesn’t need therapy now. She released the beast, broke the curse, had a panic attack and went to sleep. She’s healed now as long as she stays away from the negative energy.
As someone who was also abused by his parents let me tell you that finally being able to tell them how bad they where is not all that is left from an upbringing like that. My therapy helped me greatly and I think OP will also benefit from it.
