batman could NOT force me to confess to HALF of the things HALF as bad as these stories ANYWHERE, let alone *post them online for everyone to see*

I heard the "I kicked my kids out bcs they didn't side with me in the divorce" story before. THE GUY LITERALLY ADMITTED THAT HE EXPECTS HIS KIDS TO CHOOSE HIM OVER THEIR MOTHER, BECAUSE "well everyone needs to pick sides" AND REFUSED TO ELABORATE.

The forgetful abusive parent thing is so common. Someone put it really well: the ax doesn’t remember the damage it causes, but the tree does. To them, it wasn’t a big deal, but people who are hurt remember it. Especially if it’s during their formative years.

Story 3. When you hate your ex more than you love your children. He was basically upset his sons were at their mom's and apparently the ex got the house in the divorce. In 10 years OP will be posting "why don't my sons visit or speak with me anymore?"

Story 2-OP admits that the culture favors boys, yet 'forgets' all the crap that was done to the Daughter. Don't be surprised when Daughter won't do squat for you or your Husband OP. Sounds like neither of you did anything for her that wasn't negative.

Second story: it’s tragically common for abusive parents (especially emotonally abusive parents) to forget about traumatic events they caused for their kids. For the kids, it’s a defining part of their childhood, but for the parents, it’s just another Tuesday.

Story 1: Haven't even reached the dad dying, but his guilt just feels performative.
"I'm such an awful human being! Don't be mean to me!" rather than someone who genuinely recognizes that they did something awful and should be in prison.

Second story: the axe forgets, the tree remembers.

Story 1: You can't get "bailed out of prison." Jail awaiting trial, yes. Prison, no. Unless dad paid someone off.
Edit: I am truly liking the replies. Different interpretations of the privilege this guy had/has and what it could have meant.

Story 1: What about M's friend? How did OP break her? How does she sleep at night? Did she have a family member who helped her erase her ordeal? Can she have a normal relationship? Is she married? Does she have children? Does she have peace? I don't think I can support my brother if he is an r-ist. I can't.

Went to check out the story about the dad throwing his kids stuff to the curb. He’s made a lot of comments spewing so much hate about his kids “choosing” their mother. Some people believe the story is rage bait, with one commenter stating “even a sociopath wouldnt have these responses”.

Story 1: the hell is up with this family?! OP gets love and support but what about the victim?! Did she get help? Did she get a happy life dispite everything the OP did to her?! And how in the blue hell does someone just go from disowning someone to wanting to meet their family?! I have a feeling something is in the will the OP's dad wants them to "be a family" again. I can't confirm anything, but it just feels like it.

Of course OP “doesn’t remember”, what a convenient bout of amnesia she developed.

Last story basically boils down to: "How dare my nonbeliever brother support my daughter's choice in going to a godless college?!" - For OP, the religious aspect is clearly extremely important.
If she leaves the faith, it'll be in large part because of how controlling her parents are in regards to religion, not because of her choice of college. Regardless of whether she stays in the religion or not, she should definitely cut out these toxic people from her life. I'm glad she has a supportive uncle to fall back on, who doesn't judge her for her choices.

Story one: he didn't jut ruin the girl's life and his life, he screwed up his family's lives too. they lost a brother and a son when he SA some poor girl. They don't actually want this guy, they want their brother back. but they know this is a s close as they can get. it would have been better if he paid for his crimes....

The mother's "I don't remember that" is how mine is in regards to my stepfather. F*ck that sh*t.
The BS apology she started by trying to deny everything AGAIN just to turn around the next second and "remember everything" while being soooo sOrRy was infuriating.
FederalBurroOfInvestigation
Last story: it's ironic op says he's not in control of daughter's life yet the entire post is about how controlling he is over his own daughter in such a passive aggressive way.

"It was a rough couple of years but it was more than i deserved after what I did."
You didn't get a slap on the wrist, dude; you got a mouse fart

First story is just so unjust. He should've been in jail and then he pities himself like he is the hurt one. Dude, you should've kept it in your pants and not force it on a girl and your life wouldn't be this shitty.
JerziTBoss
Story 1: r/slash said what i was thinking. He never mentioned the woman in that story. If he really was sorry, he'd apologize to her or take himself to jail.
