My mother made multiple attempts on my life as a teen up till 41. The family has lied and denied everything, so at age 41, in 2010 i stopped association with any family members and disappeared. Im now 55 and living peacefully for the last 14 years. Youngest brother is the only normal one in the family. Brother between us plus my father are both narcissists. Mother is a bipolar psychopath. I'm high functioning autistic and no longer the scapegoat in the family. My mother even blamed me for crap that happened before I was even born. I now tell people i hatched from an egg, and have no family.
@@TectorThe I've had people tell me that I need to say sorry for my abuse I've received from the family. People are twisted and nuts even thinking that way. I haven't seen any family since 2010 and never will again.
Sounds truly awful, and I'm glad you've found some peace. I hope my husband will also one day, as he's got a mother similar to that, and she lives with us..ugh! We have to be watchful
i recently found out my mother has a big sister with down syndrome who ended up being a child of SA by a priest in my grandma's reservation.Finding this out 24 years into my life feels surreal. I feel bad for my grandmother, she's always been a bitter hurt person. I now understand why.
I worked at an "asylum" for dev disabled people & it was wild to learn that siblings popped up after parents died ...apparently Dr's convinced parents to drop off their kids & forget about them & siblings would be clueless until parents died & the kids would find paperwork after parents died!!!
*A disturbing dream woke me up at 4 a.m. and I clicked on my computer to get my mind to another place. I landed here and the stories kept me company. I am grateful but not yet in a better place as I look out at the dark wintry night through window panes covered in cold raindrops and my past flooding in to torment me.*
The second story has me pondering whether 'Uncle Joe' really was the hero OP and their father thinks they are. Just on the surface, it seems like cope to go "wow that crazy guy threatening to end us took his own life instead, what a hero!" With the addition of the mother's contempt, it makes me wonder what she saw in uncle Joe while he was alive, when he's most likely a blind spot for his father. Perhap's OP is 100% accurate on this despite going off of secondary sources, but I'll still wonder if she ever noticed things about Uncle Joe that weren't blatantly incriminating or vile, but still gave her doubts about the image he put out for everyone else. An unexplainable vibe that only clicks into place when his note was disclosed to the family, and so the only way she can process the vibe plus the information is contempt.
Poor Grandma!😢Horribly misunderstood,suffering & abandoned; she finally lost it completely. So she got to die in prison whilst her kin continued to ignore their responsibilities to her!
Story 3. It doesn't sound like the uncle purposely wanted to hurt his wife. She hit him first and he pushed her back, its a reflex. Op said he doesn't know why but his uncle didn't finish her off after she fell. You think maybe it's because it truly was an accident...Then she spends years tormenting him until he terminates his life. Sounds like she wasn't some innocent victim.
Story 4 was messed up in all ways but I don’t blame the dad. He had a horrible end which would have been fixed even a little bit if the older sister confronted him on it with the family. Sure it would have been bad then but it would have brought the family back together. But that’s just me. It’s a scary situation to chose between your family.
Yes, I agree. I found it very naive that OP questioned whether his father would have been killed by those men. His aunt was playing with fire throughout her life unfortunately, I don’t think risking his entire family was worth it.
these are my favorite. please do another confessions video those were the absolute best and ive been wayching true scary stories for litterally 8 years
I really enjoy your content! I just got my husband hooked to your podcast. He has to work out of state so does a lot of driving. It now gives us something to talk about while he’s gone.
I was just thinking that. PostPartum Psychosis sounds more like it. Being locked away for years and years. I imagine OP's birth and care was heavily monitored by their father until the 4th trimester hormones were over. I can't imagine how traumatized the mom is, so hard.
My thoughts exactly. And tbh the mother owes no explanation to the son in my opinion. He should be able to figure out on his own his mother obviously suffered at the hands of mental health.
These stories were some of the very Best (albeit sad) that I've heard on any TH-cam channel. I was locked into every story. Excellent choice of material & excellent narration. Bravo!
My mom told me when I was 18 years old that my dad wasnt my dad. She told me her first boyfriend, the love of her life, was my real dad. She never told my "other dad" about it because my grandma prevented her from marrying the other guy because they didnt like him. My "other dad" was so excited when my mom told him she was pregnant that he proposed to her right away and decided to get married. My mom couldnt break his heart after such reaction. She kept this secret from everyone until she told me one day while watching tv, ironically we were watching a tv show about family secrets. She took that as a sign. I almost fainted, i couldnt believe it. I never told my "other dad" whom i consider my one and only dad because that would hurt him so much, so now, my mom and I carry this secret.
@@IAmGodHimself777she was still riding 2 different guy's and chose the "good guy" to raise the baby because the other guy would've laughed at her as he told her to kick rocks 😂😂😂😂😂
How does your motto relate to the first story? The grandmother was dying. But also was the one not “thriving”. She was abusive and was setting up a murder.
I don't know about the story, but that lil Freudian slip right there indicates it's probably best you just keep yourself in the woodwork either which way.
I have been subscribe to your channel for a long time, and I have pretty much watched every story you have done, this has to be my absolute favorite and please do this one again because. Every single story was like a page turner.
You’re talking about people who survived the war and lived through horrifying experiences which left them utterly broken, none of the other countries during World War II had to go through what Poland experienced from the hands of German Nazi’s. We were then left to the “mercy” of Russians who further did unthinkable things to us for years and years. This kind of trauma was then passed on to the next few generations in a form of abuse and domestic violence which decades later only gave us a shread of idea of what war and the aftermath of it did to these people. It’s easy to judge from the comfort of a normal life without having to confront any of the horrors these people, and I mean all of them, were exposed to.
@@TheAsentrastill. I've never heard of a child/teen killing women and child with rocks. Not in self defense, but just because everyone else around you is doing it too
I don't think it actually happed to the OP - I think he just made up a story after reading the Wikapedia. I don't think he could have followed that elaborate tale with the father whispering in Polish, if he hadn't heard his father talking Polish since he was a little kid
@@zulikkowalski3547 the main giveaway to me is that the father somehow knew that the boy wasn't killed and that they townspeople said he was. like how would the father know that? its much more likely the truth was uncovered by talking to multiple witnesses of the pogrom than from the father knowing that all on his own
"She pretended to let bygones be bygones but was bent on revenge"... Revenge for what? She hit him & he pushed her away. It's called self defense. She was the one at fault, not him. You don't put ur hands on someone if ur not ok with getting hit back 🤷🏻♀️
This first one sounds true. There was an older lady caught for the same crimes on a fake murder for hire site that started as a joke site but got legitimate requests through the years
What about that one guy who was desperate for money, it might have been during the pandemic but I can’t remember, anyway he posted on Craigslist or some forum offering up his yard as a disposal site “NQA-no crime, ‘natural’ deaths only” or something like that?!! There’s that TX mom who tried to literally take out daughter’s cheerleading competitor or her mother to make her too depressed to win. She took a plea agreement of 10yrs after receiving an initial 14yrs, homegirl walked out after serving 6 months of that 10yrs to serve the rest on probation or whatever!?!
That sister is ridiculous! You want a father that’s supposed to protect his family to give up six people in the house, rather than the sister who was selfish and only thought of herself, who went out then got herself into serious trouble on her own?!
The uncle Joe story really got to me. When he said "rest in peace uncle Joe" I started bawling my eyes out I haven't even made it past that part yet 😅 I think it's the 2nd story. Around 15/16 minutes in
True or not, great stories, new sub for a week now, with the very large selection of past content, this channel and a couple more with fit nicely into ever gap of empty space right in between MrBallen episodes
Wow the first one just brought up old memories. My sister-in-law hired a hit man to kill my brother. So she could be with my sister's husband, at the time. It tore our family apart. The worst part of it all, my brother stayed with her. Fast forward 30 years and we still don't get together as a family. She ruined everything and my children grew up without cousins.
The bail amount was given when the grandma first got arrested and the lawyer called her daughter to let her know and she asked how much to bail her out of jail. At that juncture, she realizes that her mum must’ve done something heinous to have such a high bail and awaits trial/sentencing in jail. This is when she ceased contact with her mum and didn’t hear about her again until years later when she’s dying in prison.
@@oisinlynch8427 The writer specifically stated that their dad went out to the car and called the police. My point is that in the EARLY 80s, VERY few people had a mobile device of any kind.
There were phones in some cars 40 years ago. The fees to use it were astronomical though lol. And they were actually attached to the car with a curly cord, like a house phone but thinner. You couldn’t take it out of the car because the cord wasn’t long enough. It was located in the console, between the driver and passenger seats. And only came in prestigious cars like Lincoln Continental and Cadillacs.
I mean even if they did, the supposed men are right there down the street, and the cops take like five minutes at the best of times to show up to these things. And there's no way to call the police discreetly while chatting up the guy threatening your family.
@hayasheeeesh Well, good points, however, I'm from a stand-your-ground state in the US and the gun laws here tend to be a little much relaxed. Safe to say, it would go pretty bad for that gentleman if tried that nonsense here.
The story about the Polish Dad is a powerful testament to the power of a lie. One lie can do so much damage. And a false accusation can destroy a life, or many lives. Although I’m not religious, I understand why one off the 10 commandments is not to bear false witness. A forensic anthropologist once said that the most decomposed corpse is preferable to the odiousness of deceit & lies.
The last story, with the wife having drowned her kiddos, that man mustve truly loved her to stick by her side and eventually deciding to have another child.
Story #3, That uncle definitely plotted to kill his wife their entire marriage. He probably planned to push her, and he double unalived the both of them. Maybe she was naive and believed him due to gaslighting. Happens
I would love to know what the grandma in the first story did to her daughter (well i dont mean i'd love it lol, it'd be horrifying to hear, but im intrigued)
My family is harboring many deep, dark secrets and sadly the only ones who would know anything have passed away. I do know this though: my great-grandfather on my dad's side up and left his family out of the blue one day, never to be see or heard from again, and both of my grandfathers had extra-marital affairs which means there's a chance my parents have siblings they'll never know about. Also apparently Emily Dickinson was a distant relative of mine.
Wow! That last Story trumped them all! 😪 To that person, your Mother was Mentally I'll and by God's Grace she got better and raised you Good. You will see your brother and sister someday Sweetie! 🙏
Yeah, not sure if not doing something awful qualifies as being a hero. That’s like saying instead of robbing a bank I instead worked overtime for some extra cash, thus preventing a bank robbery.
The last person is a selfish ass - oh boo hoo my therapy isn't good enough, I need to drag painful memories out of my parents, who gave me a good life and are barely holding on to sanity, so I can heal
In the last couple years..I found out a DARK family secret.😢 I also figured out my own mother was a real life HERO. Unfortunately it all came out to me AFTER she passed. I always thought she was a bit weak,She ended up being one of the strongest women ever. I'm SO PROUD to be your daughter Ma❤ 😎

Right. Did they forget about the part where "she hit him so he shoved her back"?! It's not like he was attacking her.

A forensic anthropologist once said that the most decomposed corpse is preferable to the odiousness of deceit & lies.
The last story, with the wife having drowned her kiddos, that man mustve truly loved her to stick by her side and eventually deciding to have another child.
Family secrets are the best!
Story #3,
That uncle definitely plotted to kill his wife their entire marriage. He probably planned to push her, and he double unalived the both of them. Maybe she was naive and believed him due to gaslighting. Happens
I would love to know what the grandma in the first story did to her daughter (well i dont mean i'd love it lol, it'd be horrifying to hear, but im intrigued)
My family is harboring many deep, dark secrets and sadly the only ones who would know anything have passed away. I do know this though: my great-grandfather on my dad's side up and left his family out of the blue one day, never to be see or heard from again, and both of my grandfathers had extra-marital affairs which means there's a chance my parents have siblings they'll never know about. Also apparently Emily Dickinson was a distant relative of mine.
These were really good stories
Great stories! I shared them.
We need more of these stories!
Sir I agree with you your father sacrificed all for his children. May God hold him in the palm of his hand to comfort him now. X
Cheers 😊 love your intro music
While watching these I always wonder WHO ACTUALLY REACTS THAT WAY😭
The loooooooord has blessssssed usssssss
Wow! That last Story trumped them all! 😪 To that person, your Mother was Mentally I'll and by God's Grace she got better and raised you Good. You will see your brother and sister someday Sweetie! 🙏
The Poland father story would blow my mind if it was my father. I would be beyond crushed and disappointed in him.
Yeah, not sure if not doing something awful qualifies as being a hero. That’s like saying instead of robbing a bank I instead worked overtime for some extra cash, thus preventing a bank robbery.
Love this, more family stories.
Thanks Joel
The last person is a selfish ass - oh boo hoo my therapy isn't good enough, I need to drag painful memories out of my parents, who gave me a good life and are barely holding on to sanity, so I can heal
Those stories were fantastic.
All of these stories are great! Thanks for your hard work!
51:01 Love you TH-camJoel! 👍🤘Thank you! Thank you! 💚🦋💚
In the last couple years..I found out a DARK family secret.😢
I also figured out my own mother was a real life HERO.
Unfortunately it all came out to me AFTER she passed.
I always thought she was a bit weak,She ended up being one of the strongest women ever.
I'm SO PROUD to be your daughter Ma❤ 😎
The story where the dad gave up his sister to save his family. His kids suck. Of course he would rather give up his sister than his family tf?!
The last story was so sad. So many questions.
