@@DiamondBlock-kc8oz It's a story where the family crap on one son and in priorities the second son Dan in the story because Dan was the favorite it's a 1h story
That's because I'm pretty sure OP is the kid of that CEO. I mean, he even came to his mother's funeral? And offered him a job offhand when on a random phonecall?
@@VladimirE.-is2eethat’s not so unusual. When you have friends in high places, they often don’t hesitate to help out with such things. An internship is no big deal because it’s a temporary stint that’s ultimately cheap labor to clear company short term backlogs, so win-win for everyone involved.
@@VladimirE.-is2ee They were friends since they were kids bro, if you went to school with someone for 8+ years and where friends for 25+ years total why wouldn't you help out your friends kid? If the friend had been a female would you say the same thing? You must be a pretty shit friend if your not even willing to help out your friends kids when they are in trouble.
That's the only thing I could think of for Dad and Derek's actions to make any sense. Like OP, to me it seemed like a really weird and overly complicated solution to a problem with way easier ways to solve it. Like you have a new born son/grandson. I feel like saying that your new born son/grandson is starving is just as good of an excuse as stealing money to pay for a kids college. Even with the fact that apparently the boss knew the mother and I guess knew that the grandson wasn't biologically the mom's.
But would that have been believable at all after the way his Dad had treated him? "Hi Boss, I risked my job, my son's job and jailtime to steal money from you, so I could pay for college for the other son that I psychologically abused and kicked out before his 18th birthday because he was taking up space that I wanted to house my grandson and that was inconvenient for me, but here he is to confirm that story"
In a situation like that, to avoid getting a criminal record, I'd take out a second mortgage to pay off the debt, clear my own name and try and get my job back and get a written agreement from the son who stole the money that he will pay me back in full plus the interest and confess that he was doing it all on his own.
@@domvasta But how would the mother's friend even know any of that? To him the kid might just have gone away for college, was maybe even ungrateful to his father, who was still willing to risk his livelyhood for his late wife's ungrateful son.
"Do it for Dan" became a meme among this type of stories now. But also give a leverage to tell the experience of people who went through the same kind of bs. I had a semi "do it for dan" type of story but in a less degree, but for a cousin ... who i also refuse and my parents has like a "come to Jesus" moment just instantly after refuse and said my reasons. My parents want to gift PC parts i have from my old repair service to a cousin who was a jerk and a bum (now day he turn this around after had some fall down with his ex). I didn't, because i profit from those parts. Even more when he stole my AV cable from my PS2 in the past. I point out that very thing and remind them that "despite the PC was use by my godson too, he still hoard it in the past". They semi-got mad at the begin but i ask them one question: "would to you prefer to do the same for my bum of an aunt (his mother), who didn't do anything else but complain about us and negligent my cousins?" ... my mother kinda stare in silent at me for a moment before realize what i mean with that. Also one of the moment i genuinely had the "Money" excuse everytime i had the "what cost you?" excuse bs my mother spit, and her realizing why i keep those PC parts. Now day with inflation economy she is glad i said "money" as an answer for why i don't do "X thing" to someone. Down the line, that same PC went to my godson who has ADHD. And to him i don't had problem to repair his PC for free and gift any part he need in case of repair.
The fact that the dad an Ops hald brother knew why he said no without him saying it speaks volumes. They knew they were wrong. Good for OP fir standing firm.
Wow. This could easily be me and my family. My older brother was the golden child and dad bought him houses and cars. Never did anything for me but abuse me and beat me. Treated me coldly. I shed no tears when my dad died
Same sorta. Except my mom hated both my brother and I. Now she is confused when we both don’t want anything to do with her… like you were a tyrant and abused us both. Why would we want anything to do with you???
Awwww, I am so very sorry what happened to you.. so damned unfair. I don't understand why some parents can treat their children so bad. Love you buddy.❤
I agree, I hate that argument every time the selfish parent(s) come to the discarded/mistreated/taken for granted child. It's so ironic because they don't really believe in it till the Golden Child is in need of it or one of the parents needing it
What a surprise the brat who got away with everything when he was a kid, thought he could get away with everything as an adult and still kinda does considering he’s begging his brother to help him and thinks it’ll work
So he said he won't help because their criminal's and they think he is the asshole even tho they are literal criminal's, narcissistic people are a special breed
Well the Dad isn't necessarily a criminal, just an abusive asshole of a parent who is trying to throw his other child under the bus to try to save the child who jumped in front of the bus.
Both should go to jail, NOPE, not your problem. It's called integrity must have gotten that from your Mom. Forget these people, NTA, cut ties. Block access to social media, phones, etc
I guess the main lesson from this story is to not take people for granted, and above all else, never 🔥 bridges unnecessarily, because you never know when you might need to cross them.
Man, it would've been a good plot twist if Derek's mother saw what OP was going through and changed her heart for the better to be a good mother figure for OP.
it's probably more like "Yeah they bullied me for my whole life, but my mom and dad took care of me, and gave me a place to live". I know the father was still neglectful and bullied him too, but the op might just consider the father not completely evil bc of that.
@@miceltusav88i mean it kinda is, even if you can hate someone, you can feel bad for misfortune happening, doesnt mean you have to act on it but people arent all hate and bile, id be proud to he like that when the person in question wouldnt bat an eye about being a lousy person, at least it makes you a better person than they
Family... I love how people think that word entitles them to absolution from the people's lives they ruin. Bonus points for anyone who knows where that quote is from.
NTA, they can pay back the money Derek stole or dad can lose his job (he will anyway), Derek can be charged with embezzlement and go to jail. Derek's with won't be able to be a stay at home Mom, she'll have to vet a job.
I’m very curious about what the police would have actually done if the dad had called the cops trying to get OP out of the house. OP was under 18 still so the dad would be calling the cops in an attempt to get them to help him neglect his own kid. Unless the dad made up a story about violence or something I don’t think that would go how he wants.
I'm just glad OP got a happy ending from this via the internship/job offer, and from the very employer that dad and "golden child" tried to scam. I really do hope that they both go to jail for their actions.
Man I feel so bad foe the OP like how can someone do this to there own son. Like reslly and the nerve of this guy using that to try win over his son. Like please good for OP to stay clear
Well I can't say the father and the brother didn't deserve what they're getting. I mean seriously they were given a job and they decide to steal from it? also I agree with op! if the money hasn't been spent just give it back! plus what's op going to do? just because he No the CEO doesn't mean he can suddenly make the Debt go away! that's up to the CEO. and they really expect him to do anything for them after the way they treated him his entire life? They really deserve what they're getting.
No, they deserve OP getting them to text or say there little plan then giving the text or tape to the CEO. Then testify because the only relationship he'll ever have with them is being used and abused then thrown away
@@Reader1stlove Definitely. but I think he's taking the High Road by staying out of it. they're already in enough trouble as it is. plus it would be much easier for op to just clean his hands of them and leave them behind. you know like they like to do with him
They can't pay it back. Money is gone. I don't believe the sob story for a second, they stole from that job and blew the money on something stupid, assuming it wouldn't get missed.
Honestly if im op i would call the moms friend and tell him everything about the " dad" and how much they "messed with op" and how much they're trying to mentally abuse op now and how theyre trying to emotionally blackmail op.. spill everything.. " i dont want a dad in jail" thats a good statement if he actually was your dad he wouldnt have booted you out just because....
Jesus christ, the dad and brother are selfish and stupid. The boss is incredibly lenient and generous in not taking legal action for a couple of MONTHS to give them time to pay back the money, and they are still trying to weasel out of it.
I know I'm months late here but the school I graduated from had the whole school system in one building, divided up by hallways. Littles at the south, freshman/sophomore hall in the mid, jr high at the north, and junior/senior along the long wall.
Am I the only one thinking the his “uncle” could actually be his father. But she didn’t want to say anything because side she was truly in love with his “dad.” So, his dad resented him for exaisting because he thought OP may not be his child.
12:08 I got no words, there's so much wrong with this. Stealing from the company that took you in when you had no work, that your own wife/mother was friends with the owner, and you dare demand the child you threw to the wolves to bail you out? Lmao, just fucking wow.
If I were OP, I would have 4 words for dad and Derek: "Don't drop the soap." I would also tell mom's friend how they asked him to lie for them and say the money was for his college...
No see I wouldn't trust them not to lie, so I would've reached out to the employer who was my mom's friend and told him EVERYTHING and then begged to just press charges, that they need the wake up call.
This was a story that actually had me feeling very bad for op, I felt so bad when op tried to stop his grandparents from rightfully berating his father.
"I was supposed to start college in a couple of weeks and that was already going to be taken care of." Okay. By whom? The maternal grandparents? A trust left by the mother? He's pretty vague on this point. Regardless, I don't understand how this cover story was supposed to make any kind of difference in their predicament. If you steal money and then use that stolen money to buy a present for someone else, that doesn't make the recipient of the present responsible for stealing and/or paying back the money. Were they hoping to somehow manipulate the situation so that the payback money would be taken from OP's college fund? Was that even possible? And if he had a college fund to take from, wouldn't that clearly demonstrate that there was no need to steal money for his college in the first place? There's no actual plan in this plan.
I don't see why the source of the college fund means anything. It's just a nugget to say "They are lying, and I know that." The point of the lie was to try and get the CEO to give them more time to pay back what was stolen. They already had a couple months to try and pay back the debt without the Lawsuit, but they wanted more time. Why? obviously because Derek has already spent the money and it will take more time for them to try and get the money to repay the debt.
@@Olimar92 It means something if the plan was to eventually take from that college fund to pay back the money. If it was in a trust, then presumably no one could touch it, maybe not even with OP's say-so. If it was just coming from the grandparents, the same restrictions might not apply, but _they_ would be the ones who needed to be convinced to help. If more time was the one and only motivation for telling this lie, then what's the point in involving OP at all? How should he know where his loving and generous half-brother was getting all this money from? They didn't need his blessing just to lie about it. He wouldn't have even known any of this was going on if they hadn't alerted him to it. And why would they assume that a sob story would add any time to their deadline?
No. The father already proved he would not be there for his younger son by kicking him out before he was a legal adult. No contract was made for people like this.
"Unbelievable! First, they kick you out to favor the ‘golden child,’ and now they’re begging you to save them from his mistakes? That’s some serious audacity. They made their choice when they pushed you aside, and it’s unfair to expect you to clean up the mess now. It sounds like karma’s finally catching up to them, and they’re learning the hard way that actions have consequences. Stay strong and protect your own peace-you don’t owe them anything after the way they treated you!
11:55 Not. a petty grudge. It doesn't matter if they loved me and treated me as a god. Unless they wanted to use that money for the college fund I wouldn't tell anybody that. A matter of being honest. If they were good to me I'd help them pay, but wouldn't lie for them.
istg if my dad would threaten to call cops on me i will hold a grudge foreverrrr..... like i am sure i would have acted petty and convinced the ceo to file lawsuit againt dad and bro by telling him the full story just to get back
12:00 why do people in these stories always say the “only reason they haven’t been sued”when this is a criminal offense? you report someone to the police for and later you file the civil lawsuit once they’ve been guilty makes it so much easier
You are doing the right thing don't get involved in their BS plus they were horrible to you your entire life the only reason they reached out to you is to save their sorry busts period
What a spineless guy. He had the golden opportunity to completely shut it down and still gave them the easier way out. He should have called the employer, explain the situation and if he gets another word of contact he would call the cops himself. Or he could have called the cops and told them not only did his father and brother commit embezzlement, they’re actively harassing him to commit fraud. Get ahead of it before they have a chance to spin the story otherwise and lied to the cops.
The dad is a cruel piece of trash and so is the son. They have the absolute nerve to demand help from op after years of abuse. It wasn’t just “messing them around”. Op shouldn’t feel guilty. The father and half brother did this to themselves.
My situation isn’t as bad as that, and my parents have helped me out at times, tho most times with some sort of recompense, but my bro is definitely the golden child and gets everything he wants and treats my parents like crap even tho he’s older than me, over 40yo, married with 3 kids and still lives at home with mom and dad… the hypocrisy is real people and it sucks. Thankfully I have my grandma to help me like OP had his. Hope things work out for him and his dad and bro get what they deserve in the end
Sounds fake. Way to similar to another story also involving the parents and getting kicked out, having their sister moved in with the baby occupying OP's room instead of the guess room and having grandparents involved. Only difference was the mom didn't die, sister didn't moved in with bf in the end, OP moved to aunt's house, parent's chewed out by the aunt once found out, grandparents threaten parent's inheritance, sister reached out to apologized for never doing anything to stop the abuse happening.
I can’t be the only one thinking this, as soon as I heard they portrayed a plan to open my first though was to “play along” and instead come clean and spill everything to their boss. Tell him how they tried to manipulate you to lying them out of it and such…. The ultimate revenge story,missed opportunity fr. I was low key hoping for it as soon as I heard the plot.
I would have told the employer everything that happened and said to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law. They cashed the relationship a long time ago. Mercy is for the worthy.
I would of stared at both of them and said no your an adult and you know what you did was wrong you as an adult you are to take responsibility for your actions
If OP had agreed to lie then they may have pulled from his tuition money to pay back the debt when the father and brother inevitably don't return the money and the CEO sues to get the money back

If I were OP, I would have 4 words for dad and Derek: "Don't drop the soap." I would also tell mom's friend how they asked him to lie for them and say the money was for his college...
They deserve to go to jail....you dont owe them nothing
No see I wouldn't trust them not to lie, so I would've reached out to the employer who was my mom's friend and told him EVERYTHING and then begged to just press charges, that they need the wake up call.
I would have ignored them completely.
Hipocrisy Is a really bad thing
This was a story that actually had me feeling very bad for op, I felt so bad when op tried to stop his grandparents from rightfully berating his father.
Thats wome of the craziest gaslighting ever.
"I was supposed to start college in a couple of weeks and that was already going to be taken care of." Okay. By whom? The maternal grandparents? A trust left by the mother? He's pretty vague on this point.
Regardless, I don't understand how this cover story was supposed to make any kind of difference in their predicament. If you steal money and then use that stolen money to buy a present for someone else, that doesn't make the recipient of the present responsible for stealing and/or paying back the money. Were they hoping to somehow manipulate the situation so that the payback money would be taken from OP's college fund? Was that even possible? And if he had a college fund to take from, wouldn't that clearly demonstrate that there was no need to steal money for his college in the first place? There's no actual plan in this plan.
I don't see why the source of the college fund means anything. It's just a nugget to say "They are lying, and I know that."
The point of the lie was to try and get the CEO to give them more time to pay back what was stolen. They already had a couple months to try and pay back the debt without the Lawsuit, but they wanted more time. Why? obviously because Derek has already spent the money and it will take more time for them to try and get the money to repay the debt.
@@Olimar92 It means something if the plan was to eventually take from that college fund to pay back the money. If it was in a trust, then presumably no one could touch it, maybe not even with OP's say-so. If it was just coming from the grandparents, the same restrictions might not apply, but _they_ would be the ones who needed to be convinced to help.
If more time was the one and only motivation for telling this lie, then what's the point in involving OP at all? How should he know where his loving and generous half-brother was getting all this money from? They didn't need his blessing just to lie about it. He wouldn't have even known any of this was going on if they hadn't alerted him to it. And why would they assume that a sob story would add any time to their deadline?
IF they do find a way to contact you,Tell them both "DON'T pick up the SOAP!".
"Even after shes gone, my mom is still looking out for me"😭 but no rlly, she could have done more about all the abuse
No. The father already proved he would not be there for his younger son by kicking him out before he was a legal adult. No contract was made for people like this.
I really want to know what happened to his family
"Unbelievable! First, they kick you out to favor the ‘golden child,’ and now they’re begging you to save them from his mistakes? That’s some serious audacity. They made their choice when they pushed you aside, and it’s unfair to expect you to clean up the mess now. It sounds like karma’s finally catching up to them, and they’re learning the hard way that actions have consequences. Stay strong and protect your own peace-you don’t owe them anything after the way they treated you!
11:55 Not. a petty grudge. It doesn't matter if they loved me and treated me as a god. Unless they wanted to use that money for the college fund I wouldn't tell anybody that. A matter of being honest.
If they were good to me I'd help them pay, but wouldn't lie for them.
Lol let them both rot in jail.
dad: son you gotta help us we're going to go to jail!
son: i miss the part where thats my problem.
istg if my dad would threaten to call cops on me i will hold a grudge foreverrrr..... like i am sure i would have acted petty and convinced the ceo to file lawsuit againt dad and bro by telling him the full story just to get back
We should make a chatgpt story bingo card for these.
Im guessing if they had gotten OP in on their play they would hsve thrown him under the bus in a heart beat
12:00 why do people in these stories always say the “only reason they haven’t been sued”when this is a criminal offense? you report someone to the police for and later you file the civil lawsuit once they’ve been guilty makes it so much easier
Yea, they wouldn't be going to jail either.
You are doing the right thing don't get involved in their BS plus they were horrible to you your entire life the only reason they reached out to you is to save their sorry busts period
What a spineless guy. He had the golden opportunity to completely shut it down and still gave them the easier way out. He should have called the employer, explain the situation and if he gets another word of contact he would call the cops himself. Or he could have called the cops and told them not only did his father and brother commit embezzlement, they’re actively harassing him to commit fraud. Get ahead of it before they have a chance to spin the story otherwise and lied to the cops.
The dad is a cruel piece of trash and so is the son. They have the absolute nerve to demand help from op after years of abuse. It wasn’t just “messing them around”. Op shouldn’t feel guilty. The father and half brother did this to themselves.
must be related to dan and his family
Ikr, so many people remember Dan, blows my mind 😅
My situation isn’t as bad as that, and my parents have helped me out at times, tho most times with some sort of recompense, but my bro is definitely the golden child and gets everything he wants and treats my parents like crap even tho he’s older than me, over 40yo, married with 3 kids and still lives at home with mom and dad… the hypocrisy is real people and it sucks. Thankfully I have my grandma to help me like OP had his. Hope things work out for him and his dad and bro get what they deserve in the end
Sounds fake. Way to similar to another story also involving the parents and getting kicked out, having their sister moved in with the baby occupying OP's room instead of the guess room and having grandparents involved.
Only difference was the mom didn't die, sister didn't moved in with bf in the end, OP moved to aunt's house, parent's chewed out by the aunt once found out, grandparents threaten parent's inheritance, sister reached out to apologized for never doing anything to stop the abuse happening.
NTA THEY COMMITTED THE CRIME.IF THEY DO TIME ITS THEIR OWN FAULT
Problems are like the immortal snail. No matter how hard u run, the snail will somehow find u someday
Do It For Dan.
*T H E R E C K O N I N G !*
Tdlr; Zeus dies 3 days later of hypothermia :(
Your Mum would be so proud of you. 😊
Another "Do it for dan" Spinoff
DO IT FOR DAN
-a bad mom/dad
Are you a veteran of this channel
@@Ishaan-f2pwhatcha mean
It's like the inverse of the "Cool dad dies and leaves the kid with evil step mom" trope
I can’t be the only one thinking this, as soon as I heard they portrayed a plan to open my first though was to “play along” and instead come clean and spill everything to their boss. Tell him how they tried to manipulate you to lying them out of it and such…. The ultimate revenge story,missed opportunity fr. I was low key hoping for it as soon as I heard the plot.
go NC with dad's parents, dad and Derek for the rest of their lives. Screw them!
I would have told the employer everything that happened and said to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.
They cashed the relationship a long time ago. Mercy is for the worthy.
dude congrates for the job
Well, isn't this the consequences of my own actions. Op's dad and his brother are terrible human beings.
If it was OP who stole, they'd be witnesses for the prosecution. I wouldn't help them either.
this story makes me furious at your dad and half brother. you made the right choice to decline
Dad: You're not bringing any money back home so suck it up and do your chores.
OP: Tell thst to your Fave son, DAD
Call the boss and tell him what they wanted him to do so you keep your hands clean of the thievery.
Ladies and gents *_”DO IT FOR DAN”_* has risen from the dead
I would of stared at both of them and said no your an adult and you know what you did was wrong you as an adult you are to take responsibility for your actions
"even after she's gone my mom was still looking out for me"
If their house is paid for, then dad should think about a 2nd mortgage.
if your "friends" cared more about reputation then friendship then they were never truly your friends
If OP had agreed to lie then they may have pulled from his tuition money to pay back the debt when the father and brother inevitably don't return the money and the CEO sues to get the money back
This just reminds me of "do it for Dan"
