Verbal and psychological abuse is some of the worst abuse to experience. You really just become nervous for anything that someone can say to you. Like you know if you say something even just “wrong” it can make you feel uneasy and fear backlash. I’m glad that they did what was best and blocked his parents. Along with his family that wanted them to “talk to them”. I hope they’re doing so much better now!
This makes me feel sad to say, but I believe I am mentally abusive. My wife noticed sign fairly early in our relationship but I never believed her. We have been married for 4 years and she is supposed to stop everything while it's happening and tell me it's going on. Takes me a few mins to break it but I always realize she isn't lying. I love her so much and would never do anything to intentionally hurt her. I have been diagnosed as bipolar and BPD so she deals with alot. I just hate that I make her suffer and have to hear her say "babe you're being mentally abusive right now". And tbh when I hear her say that, it sets me off and I apparently go in even harder before I have the self awareness to finally stop. I'm very grateful that she deals with it and helps me through but I'm sure it's very hard for her. She also tells me to stop being dads name jr because she knows how my dad is. I hate that I took after him. But her and my dad have a great relationship in person. She just knows I'm like him.
@@mlbashanti8885 you are very mature for dealing with this with self awareness. BPD is no joke but can be treated and with support. It sounds like you are willing to work on things and have a supportive significant other. You sound like you are doing a lot to make self improvements. I hope you continue with this open and honest approach and wish you the best in life!
OH MY GOD the “Mrs. Psycho” story PERFECTLY describes my ex’s mother. The creepy behavior, the abusive/controlling personality, the wild stories she made up about literally every person who’d ever wronged her, the relationship being really nice at first and then rapidly going downhill, the lengthy emails, the social media dramatics, the beaten down husband, even the black eyes that seemed to change color whenever she heard something she didn't like… I’m actually kinda wondering if the MIL in this story is the same person. There are just _too_ many similarities. She never became my MIL, though, because she freaked out and turned on a dime as soon as she realized she wasn’t going to be able to control or manipulate me. We were young, and my gf was still living with “Mrs. Psycho” at the time and ended up breaking things off because she couldn’t handle her mom’s abuse anymore, like she wasn’t going to get a second of peace from her mom until our relationship was over.
Omg me too! Shocking behaviour, and so good at shifting the blame to anyone but herself.. turned out my ex had learnt from the best. We had to leave our house after he blew our car up in the driveway, 5m away from where our daughter and I slept. He was a real winner that one.. definitely ran in his family..
@@tisme2888 Okay what’s actually really weird is that my Mrs. Psycho told me a story about how my gf’s dad (who was, I think, her third husband?) blew up _their_ car in their driveway when my gf was a kid. But this, like all of her stories, was completely made up.
I'm glad the lady with the Mrs Psycho ML's husband sided with HER and that they both decided to break off with his parents. Probably the healthiest thing they could do, not only for themselves but for their family. I could see, for example, the ML maybe turning their kids against them, or using them as pawns or even taking them hostage in some way. I think the woman in probably right in thinking that Mr Psycho had been emotionally beaten to death, and simply complied to keep peace. It sounds like the husband, thankfully, grew up to be a much healthier person than COULD have happened. His brother, on the other hand, may have not fared as well. Let's hope he realizes that his mom is a manipulative nutcase. Also very happy that the neighborhood realized that the mother-in-law was messed up, making the smear campaign kind of ricochet onto HER. I feel bad for their new neighbors (to whatever state they moved to) since I have a feeling people like that ALWAYS need to be in control, always need to have SOMEONE to manipulate, to blame. Sad that ONE PERSON can do so much harm to those around them.
I don't live in a big area or a place with a lot of crime, so maybe I don't understand, but I don't know how one could see someone catch an apartment complex on fire and just walk away. ??
Unfortunately it’s because you see more of that than anyone likes to admit. There are also lots of sketchy people around actions like that, and you learn that the possible consequences for you are much worse than what the criminal will get. He has a jury, but if his people see you, all you have is an executioner..
If nothing else, and thanks to cell phones now, I'd drive on but call 911 (or wtfe the emergency # is for where I'm at) and anonymously give them the address and tell about the fire. That I "saw a fire" from the street, at roughly "insert address here", then bye. Click. Hope there were no children being burned up, and then go on about my day the best I could.
I work a graveyard shift and before I found this channel I would listen to other channels but man these longer videos with top notch commentary is the best. On top of that when I get to work at 5pm there’s the video and I instantly listen. It makes work so calming lol but also scary in the dark 👀
Hey! I've just become a member of this channel, I absolutely love your narration and content. I'm totally blind, but I don't have to see your content to enjoy it! Thanks, and keep it up! By the way, mine's ham and cheese!
Let’s Read is quite frankly the best! He seems to edit out swearing, has a great voice, and doesnt have a weird outlandish username like a lot of other do. He’s the best! Thank you for sharing these with us!
"I was worried it was part of something bigger and reporting it would get me killed" dude, you are not the main character in a mobster movie, get over yourself.
That Mrs. Psycho story though. I hope that couple and their child are safe. I would not have been as kind to those nasty people as the wife and her husband were. I really feel for the husband due to those monsters being his parents. Awful people.
Yaaaaay!!!! Been looking forward to Wednesday ever since I finished your video on Monday lol. Hey I know you don't ask for ideas for a topic but I was jus thinking, a video about the rez or native American stories would be super dope! Anyways thank you for another wonderful video!!! I've been a huge fan for years now!! Have a wonderful night Mr. Let's read!!!
Yes new joel video 😊 I hope you’re having a great weeek Joel. I just want to say I love listening to your videos and listening the podcast throughout my day whether I’m gaming or just chilling . You Have an awesome narration voice and lastly I just wanted to say your One of my favourite channels ❤️keep up great work
Story 11 explains my mother so much. Been no contact for 4 years thank god. The ironic thing is I am fairly confident my mother has borderline PD (she won’t ever seek help tho bc she’s a narcissist, so I won’t ever know for sure); when I heard that the MIL accused the DIL of having BPD, I had to laugh/scoff. The projection from narcissists is so absurd. I, like the son, wasn’t always aware of my mothers behavior, and I myself still have some of the same toxic behaviors (working on them in therapy tho). It’s hard living in the alternate reality that uBPD parents create. In fact, when the DIL mentioned some of the stuff she found creepy, I was mildly surprised as I thought it was normal (at least normal enough). Such as the comment about her baby having 50% of her dad’s genes as well. It’s true that’s a totally unnecessary and uncalled for comment, but I prob wouldn’t have thought much of it. Anyway, if you have a parent who sounds similar, you aren’t alone. Sending healing vibes y’all’s way.
Love these stories and you definitely have the voice for this . Thanks keeping me entertained and my mind calm on nights I can't sleep and often I fall asleep to the soothingly sound of your voice . (Not to be creepy like the people in these stories) lol
I always fall asleep to your videos. Kinda weird but it's relaxing and interesting at the same time. Only horror channel I like because I hate jumpscares and nonsense. I really enjoyed the videos were you added some backround effects, it doesn't have to be much, just a dog barking, steps in the distance, a slam on a desk. Really helped with the immersion.
It's insane how much my fiance and I relate to story 11. Unfortunately my mother is a toxic, manipulative person who try to turn me against my lady. This wouldn't be the first time I've had to deal with her manipulative ways. I cut her off for a long time, but I've gotten back in touch with her a couple of years ago. It was shortly after I started seeing my bride that my mom started exhibiting those same toxic traits. It was really difficult, because I felt like I was having to relive my past all over again, but I decided to do what it took to protect my fiance. I told my mom that she was no longer allowed to speak to future wife, which of course made her very upset. But I know this lady too well to let her have an upper hand on our relationship. Be thankful if you do not have a toxic parent work in-law
The guy in story 6 that found the knives while kayaking should of taken them with him or informed the police of what happened. So haven forbid what happened to him wouldn’t happen to someone else just saying 😉
Sweet dreams everyone I had a great night tonight watching the Dead South concert in Utrecht. This is the perfect ending for a perfect night. Thank you Joel 💋♥️
@@shesmoonlight514 I’ve only met one of them. Not good with names, but he’s the taller slim guy with the black beard. And he’s nice, a devoted dad, and he loved my outfit 😊 I was wearing white blouse with black suspenders 🤣😃.
@@ju-did-ith YOU WORE THE SUSPENDERS 😲😂🤣 I love that!! I need to do that when I go see them! Here’s how I identify each member: Colton Crawford (the one who plays banjo) is the one who looks like an Irish man ☘️ (We also call him Crawdaddy) Nate Hilts or Nathaniel William Hilts (the lead singer) is the one who looks like an Amish man 👨🏻🌾 Scott Pringle (WHICH IS THE ONE YOU MET 🤯) (the one who plays mandolin) is the one who looks like an Orthodox Jew 🎩 Danny Kenyon or Daniel J Kenyon (who effortlessly plays the chello) is the one who looks like a Mormon 🎻🚴🏽 😂😂😂 I can’t believe you met Scott! I just love his backing vocals 😍🎶 his voice is so purrty. I’m so happy you got to see them! 🥳🥳
@@shesmoonlight514 thanx! And you should really were the suspenders and a white blouse. I was so surprised no one else thought of it. I was the only one. Scot liked it 😉😃
I can relate to story eleven. My ex-roommate was toxic & calls me out on my wrongdoings, but when I call him out on his wrongdoings, he would deflect & have a "selective memory" of what happened.
I hope the person at Wekiva State Park said something to the police for the sheer fact few have went missing most recently a 31 year old female and her car was found at the parking lot while some have witnessed her on float no one knows what happened or where she is …
I’m in the area as well and heard about that lady (Miranda Rosa) who disappeared. A couple of my friends have even had weird encounters in the park, it’s not necessarily an unsafe area but I’ll be damned if I don’t advise everyone to be safe out there. Edit: I just realized how ironic what I said is paired with my profile picture (me dressed as the Ghostface Killer).
That MIL story hits home, only my X-MIL was never nice to me. She said nasty stuff about me before meeting or even talking with me. She would also set me up to look bad, especially at Christmas. One year she sent me on a wild goose chaise for a certain brand and style of dishes (that didn't exist) as a requested gift for X's Aunt. I even drove 3 hours each way to the manufacturer's factory outlet store, where I found out that this alleged dish pattern didn't exist. Why his family's gift was 'my' responsibility I'll never know. It was HIS gift for HIS aunt, but according to X-MIL it was 'my fault' for not finding it and she told everyone she could what a POS I am with every imagined slight.
I'm dumb founded at how similar psycho mom is almost identical to my own mother. My mother was even worse if you can believe it. When our 29 year old daughter passed away in her bed and I found her she came to our home and wouldn't ever leave. It took us over a year to get her out only for her to say to me that I use my daughter's death as a crutch and I needed her here to keep my mind right and if I didn't stop being depressed my husband would leave me. There is 50 years of psychological abuse I have dealt with from her. I recently have blocked her completely and my husband and I have never been so happy. We have been married 31 years. Thanks so much that story really hit home for me.
Scary and crazy MIL stories are my favorite topic to read on reddit. I never realized how excited I’d be to hear them narrated!! If you’re interested, please narrate more! 👻
So that one about the crazy in-laws. The mother wanting to steal the baby away from the daughter-in-law. All of the trauma ... Literally been living that for the last 14 years. At one point she had convinced my daughter's father to kidnap the baby away from me until I was able to go to court and get them to have the baby giving back. She literally wants to steal my daughter away for herself. She has two sons. Always wanted a daughter. Has been trying to take mine now for last 8 years. Only difference is is my daughter's father does not denounce anything that his mother does. He admits that she's crazy but he allows it. A lot of emotional incest in that family. Lot of gaslighting and narcissism. Can't wait to get out.
I had a TERRIBLE day today but as I was bawling my eyes out tonight I remembered its wednesday and that means theres a new LR video so I'm now feeling a bit better.
I had a Mrs. Psycho in my life. My ex husband's mother was so much like the story. I should have known right since the first time she met me she says and I quote .."You're not petite and pretty like his other exes." Well damn, I was 21 and 5'10 and curvy. She was and is a manipulative bitch. She expected us to leave our doors open so she can get in any time she wanted. I had a 3 year old son when we met and then my ex and I had two kids together. Mrs Psycho pretended she loved my son for the next two years until her first grandchild was born. After our son was born she literally treated him like a god. My oldest became invisible. I assumed after having our daughter the Psycho would treat her like a goddess... nope!! My oldest and youngest (youngest was her blood) were just tolerated. She wreaked havoc on my mental health. My house wasn't spotless when I had my two youngest kids. Toddlers are tornado's so I tried to ignore it. She wanted a say in every damn decision I made. The ex hubby didn't see it all at first but even when he did see it, he didn't care. My ex and I split in 2010, we had our own issues but her crap made everything worse. So when my oldest son graduated from high school she started running her mouth because she wasn't invited to either of his Highschool graduations because he's a smart kid and didn't invite her or the ex. He didn't like them. My ex was an awesome stepfather until puberty hit and he has to always have the last word and is never wrong. Then a good many year's later when my ex and my son graduated Mrs. Psycho bought him a car and had a big party. Her house was decorated with his name, graduation year, his soccer number....etc. When our daughter graduated two years later she got a card and $50. That showed who was treated better. Our daughter has no relationship with Mrs. Psycho not as if daughter hadn't tried. Mrs. Psycho talked so much garbage about me that wasn't true. She filled out son with lies and bullshit about me. Our son loved staying at her house (he had his own room). Junior year he moved to her house. He slowly stopped talking to me. My oldest son was with me until he was like 20. Our daughter lived and still does live with me. Well recently our son and his gf had so much time during quarantine that they created a beautiful baby boy. Made me a grandma 🥰. They were living with Mrs. Psycho but she started telling the girl where they could put a crib and that she'd get up when he cried...blah....blah. The gf and my daughter talked and my daughter explained to the girl that it was all the bull she did to me. Finally our son could see it. I had only met our sons gf twice. Her and my daughter get along well. She wanted me to visit because she actually wanted to get to know me because she was told so much garbage about me from Mrs. Psycho. He and the girl were told about a nice house in a good neighborhood and Mrs. Psycho got mad at the woman who gave them the information. I am glad they got away no mother wants a bossy bitch running her life. Once they moved out Mrs. Psycho started trying to hold his car against him. So he drives his gf car. They are good parents. I feel like I wasted so many years dealing with BS. My ex Mrs. Psycho was only happy when making others miserable. I know this was extremely long but I've needed to vent. Thanks to anyone that reads this. Control your life and love.
The thing that upset me about this story is that husband didn't stand up for his wife. I would've dropped him like a hot potato because he allowed the abuse and toxicity to continue!!
@@kaycar2164 exactly though I noticed with my ex that he just kind of ignored her, drown her out so to speak. I truly think he gave up fighting so maybe that was the issue with guy in story.
Aww yeah nice big video of stories to listen to. Thanks for having me on this episode Joel. 😃
Dude I used to listen to you!!! I love your videos! Thank you both for helping me fall asleep 😂
You both are AWESOME!
He’s been doing this forever. More like about time he’s getting 1 mil. There for awhile he did alllllllllot of repeats but he’s a lot better now.
I love Senor Creepy Fox great narrator. Also love let's read

We currently live in an entire world structured around just this sort of narcissistic abuse

@@mlbashanti8885 you are very mature for dealing with this with self awareness. BPD is no joke but can be treated and with support.

I agree
He used to read creepypastas I think. I don't know if those videos are still up there. They are his earlier videos.

Damn 800k 😳 he better get 1M, been here since 50k
Been sleeping to his narratives for years
I cant believe he doesnt already have 1M
That’s gonna be a well deserved milestone. I have been listening to these stories for years now and idk how I would sleep without them.
I hope it’s LATER 😈😈😈
Jk. Early congrats LR, you got dis gurlie 😘

Right! No one was hurt, yes but they lost everything.
2nd, but yes, I completely agree.
Some people are on earth to observe. Nothing more
I was hoping he had a good excuse but the whole 'not wanting to get caught in the crossfire' was bs

I love your intro….it reminds me of like the 20th century fox film intro, you know the one, that makes you super excited to see the video
Thank you Lets Read! I absolutely love creepy stories!
Yep, thanks Joel, this is gonna make it so much easier to unwind before sleep. 🥰
That last part made me laugh out loud! My husband think I’m going crazy!!!
"We were watching Pokemon on Kids WB" Man that one sentence sent me down a rabbit hole of nostalgia...

Yo Joel, you have an amazing voice, and you tell really messed up stories, I appreciate you, weird ppl love weird ppl. Have a gooder. 👍🏻🙏💙✌️

Favorite time of the day love your content
"How did he know they had a dog walker?" and "I didn't take the knives I found with me." DUH!! I can't believe how some people think,...or don't!
I'm an horror/death metal airbrush artist, I'm always listening to your channel while painting.
Thank you
I LOOOOOVE the opening.
Story #11 MIL sounds like classic NPD. I would've posted my receipts showing the text where she threatened to do what she did.
Love that thumbnail with the dusty turntable!
My daughter has decided I’m in a cult now… I keep telling her to subscribe to let’s read 🤣 all I could say was “yep…. Butter your socks.”
3:34 is the scariest part of this video
The guy in the apartment didn't seem to me to be interested in the dog walker but definitely interested in the dog
It's insane how much my fiance and I relate to story 11. Unfortunately my mother is a toxic, manipulative person who try to turn me against my lady. This wouldn't be the first time I've had to deal with her manipulative ways. I cut her off for a long time, but I've gotten back in touch with her a couple of years ago. It was shortly after I started seeing my bride that my mom started exhibiting those same toxic traits.

I told my mom that she was no longer allowed to speak to future wife, which of course made her very upset. But I know this lady too well to let her have an upper hand on our relationship. Be thankful if you do not have a toxic parent work in-law
How do ghosts tell their future? By reading their horrorscope.
Always excited for the new content!
I enjoyed all of these scary stories.😁
Youre voice is so easy to follow with nothing going on (screen) ❤🌬
been here since day 1 basically love your stories
Let’s Read is #1 on the scary stories Narrators..This was the first of the channels that I started listening to..
I hope this man in dog walker story didn't hurt Maya , because it's never said if they checked her at the vet :(

Your stories are amazing and i love your channel 😊🤗
Right before I go to bed thanks joe 👍🏾👍🏾
love how you gave the one guy a dracula voice
The guy in story 6 that found the knives while kayaking should of taken them with him or informed the police of what happened. So haven forbid what happened to him wouldn’t happen to someone else just saying 😉
The first story made no sense to me.
Edit: the Mrs. Psycho story is left unnerving because of how insidious that kind of threat is.
Your stories pull me through 6 games of world class squad battles
Thank you@lets read xxxxx
Sweet dreams everyone
I had a great night tonight watching the Dead South concert in Utrecht.
This is the perfect ending for a perfect night. Thank you Joel 💋♥️
All my love to you ✨♥️ Sleep well, dear friend. How were they? Were they just as dreamy in person?

@@shesmoonlight514 I’ve only met one of them. Not good with names, but he’s the taller slim guy with the black beard. And he’s nice, a devoted dad, and he loved my outfit 😊 I was wearing white blouse with black suspenders 🤣😃.
@@ju-did-ith YOU WORE THE SUSPENDERS 😲😂🤣 I love that!! I need to do that when I go see them!
Here’s how I identify each member: Colton Crawford (the one who plays banjo) is the one who looks like an Irish man ☘️ (We also call him Crawdaddy) Nate Hilts or Nathaniel William Hilts (the lead singer) is the one who looks like an Amish man 👨🏻🌾 Scott Pringle (WHICH IS THE ONE YOU MET 🤯) (the one who plays mandolin) is the one who looks like an Orthodox Jew 🎩 Danny Kenyon or Daniel J Kenyon (who effortlessly plays the chello) is the one who looks like a Mormon 🎻🚴🏽 😂😂😂
I can’t believe you met Scott! I just love his backing vocals 😍🎶 his voice is so purrty. I’m so happy you got to see them! 🥳🥳
@@shesmoonlight514 thanx! And you should really were the suspenders and a white blouse. I was so surprised no one else thought of it. I was the only one.
Scot liked it 😉😃
Your voic is so satisfying/soothing and the stories you tell are so interesting. Thank you!
Loved your video with being scared the other day.
Already . Nice . Thanks Joel.
I can relate to story eleven. My ex-roommate was toxic & calls me out on my wrongdoings, but when I call him out on his wrongdoings, he would deflect & have a "selective memory" of what happened.
That's narcissism for ya.
Spaghetti and Let’s Read? What did I do to deserve an great night?🥺
Same here!
Caught part of this live stream, it's cool.
Story 11 is low-key every Indian in-laws story.Except the husband takes only his parents side.
Gunna cry myself to sleep with these.
I hope the person at Wekiva State Park said something to the police for the sheer fact few have went missing most recently a 31 year old female and her car was found at the parking lot while some have witnessed her on float no one knows what happened or where she is …
I’m in the area as well and heard about that lady (Miranda Rosa) who disappeared. A couple of my friends have even had weird encounters in the park, it’s not necessarily an unsafe area but I’ll be damned if I don’t advise everyone to be safe out there.
Edit: I just realized how ironic what I said is paired with my profile picture (me dressed as the Ghostface Killer).
You know someone didn't grow up listening to CD's when they pronounce with an exaggerated C, not an exaggerated D :p
Thank you 😊👑
I found your channel yesterday and I’m so glad I did! I can’t sleep without listening to something..your account is perfect 👍🏻 keep up the good work
Homie chillin on the turn table
Story 11 reminds me of Jelka Pesic story covered by MrBallen.
I like that kinda old-school call back intro. .
I read the title to the beat of It’s Gonna Be Me by NSYNC
That intro!!😍
That MIL story hits home, only my X-MIL was never nice to me. She said nasty stuff about me before meeting or even talking with me. She would also set me up to look bad, especially at Christmas. One year she sent me on a wild goose chaise for a certain brand and style of dishes (that didn't exist) as a requested gift for X's Aunt. I even drove 3 hours each way to the manufacturer's factory outlet store, where I found out that this alleged dish pattern didn't exist. Why his family's gift was 'my' responsibility I'll never know. It was HIS gift for HIS aunt, but according to X-MIL it was 'my fault' for not finding it and she told everyone she could what a POS I am with every imagined slight.
I'm dumb founded at how similar psycho mom is almost identical to my own mother. My mother was even worse if you can believe it. When our 29 year old daughter passed away in her bed and I found her she came to our home and wouldn't ever leave. It took us over a year to get her out only for her to say to me that I use my daughter's death as a crutch and I needed her here to keep my mind right and if I didn't stop being depressed my husband would leave me. There is 50 years of psychological abuse I have dealt with from her. I recently have blocked her completely and my husband and I have never been so happy. We have been married 31 years. Thanks so much that story really hit home for me.
Story 11; woman was a fool to stay with dudes and his crazy family. In-laws often ruin marriages when their not narcissistic sociopaths
Yeah, it doesn't matter if it's your family or friends- toxic people need to be cut from your life.
Here and accounted for
Hey! Jesus loves you! God bless!
Always a pleasure
Scary and crazy MIL stories are my favorite topic to read on reddit. I never realized how excited I’d be to hear them narrated!! If you’re interested, please narrate more! 👻
I know this is probably isn't the way to go about it, but any chance we can get more dark origins/true meanings of songs?
Lol at your voice @ 20:00
Story 11 was an everyones the A story.
So that one about the crazy in-laws. The mother wanting to steal the baby away from the daughter-in-law. All of the trauma ... Literally been living that for the last 14 years. At one point she had convinced my daughter's father to kidnap the baby away from me until I was able to go to court and get them to have the baby giving back. She literally wants to steal my daughter away for herself. She has two sons. Always wanted a daughter. Has been trying to take mine now for last 8 years. Only difference is is my daughter's father does not denounce anything that his mother does. He admits that she's crazy but he allows it. A lot of emotional incest in that family. Lot of gaslighting and narcissism. Can't wait to get out.
Please tell me that’s Billy Ray in the thumbnail. That would be so perfect.
Story 4, honestly he was probably just a homeless man and wanted to take a shower 😂
Haha you killed that eastern european guys accent !
The introduction to you video’s sounds like the 1970’ Viacom logo sound.
Joel, can you do a series of true creepy mother in law stories
I had a TERRIBLE day today but as I was bawling my eyes out tonight I remembered its wednesday and that means theres a new LR video so I'm now feeling a bit better.
I’m glad you’re feeling a bit better ❤️
I had a Mrs. Psycho in my life. My ex husband's mother was so much like the story. I should have known right since the first time she met me she says and I quote .."You're not petite and pretty like his other exes." Well damn, I was 21 and 5'10 and curvy. She was and is a manipulative bitch. She expected us to leave our doors open so she can get in any time she wanted. I had a 3 year old son when we met and then my ex and I had two kids together.
Mrs Psycho pretended she loved my son for the next two years until her first grandchild was born. After our son was born she literally treated him like a god. My oldest became invisible. I assumed after having our daughter the Psycho would treat her like a goddess... nope!! My oldest and youngest (youngest was her blood) were just tolerated. She wreaked havoc on my mental health. My house wasn't spotless when I had my two youngest kids. Toddlers are tornado's so I tried to ignore it. She wanted a say in every damn decision I made. The ex hubby didn't see it all at first but even when he did see it, he didn't care. My ex and I split in 2010, we had our own issues but her crap made everything worse. So when my oldest son graduated from high school she started running her mouth because she wasn't invited to either of his Highschool graduations because he's a smart kid and didn't invite her or the ex. He didn't like them. My ex was an awesome stepfather until puberty hit and he has to always have the last word and is never wrong. Then a good many year's later when my ex and my son graduated Mrs. Psycho bought him a car and had a big party. Her house was decorated with his name, graduation year, his soccer number....etc. When our daughter graduated two years later she got a card and $50. That showed who was treated better. Our daughter has no relationship with Mrs. Psycho not as if daughter hadn't tried. Mrs. Psycho talked so much garbage about me that wasn't true. She filled out son with lies and bullshit about me. Our son loved staying at her house (he had his own room). Junior year he moved to her house. He slowly stopped talking to me. My oldest son was with me until he was like 20. Our daughter lived and still does live with me. Well recently our son and his gf had so much time during quarantine that they created a beautiful baby boy. Made me a grandma 🥰. They were living with Mrs. Psycho but she started telling the girl where they could put a crib and that she'd get up when he cried...blah....blah. The gf and my daughter talked and my daughter explained to the girl that it was all the bull she did to me. Finally our son could see it. I had only met our sons gf twice. Her and my daughter get along well. She wanted me to visit because she actually wanted to get to know me because she was told so much garbage about me from Mrs. Psycho. He and the girl were told about a nice house in a good neighborhood and Mrs. Psycho got mad at the woman who gave them the information. I am glad they got away no mother wants a bossy bitch running her life. Once they moved out Mrs. Psycho started trying to hold his car against him. So he drives his gf car. They are good parents. I feel like I wasted so many years dealing with BS. My ex Mrs. Psycho was only happy when making others miserable. I know this was extremely long but I've needed to vent. Thanks to anyone that reads this. Control your life and love.
The thing that upset me about this story is that husband didn't stand up for his wife. I would've dropped him like a hot potato because he allowed the abuse and toxicity to continue!!
@@kaycar2164 exactly though I noticed with my ex that he just kind of ignored her, drown her out so to speak. I truly think he gave up fighting so maybe that was the issue with guy in story.
Thank you Let's Read 📚 ❤️
Ohh yeah nice and early. Thanks for the stories my man. Keep up the good work
