r/Offmychest My Son & Daughter are In Love

0:00 Intro
0:45 Sibling Love

[Borkedhusky]

SO It was confirmed by OP in a comment on her Reddit update posted two days ago that Luke and Amy are half siblings, Amy’s mother being one of Jim’s (Luke’s father) students when he was a professor.
Edit to add: in another comment in the same thread OP also confirmed that at the time this began between Amy and Luke they were 17 and aware of their… shared bloodline beforehand.

If this story is real, holy crap.
If this story is fake, OP needs to be a mystery writer.

[superoriginalname]

So that's why the kids "fake dating" didn't get Tom and Amy riled up that much, they're just following in their parents footsteps!!

[SkyEcho]

THERE IS AN UPDATE: As of 3 days ago, OP is in a successful divorce proceeding. She reported what they did and I quote "... and now They're Fucked", though she did NOT say what it was in the post, she did say that Jim was the other one who knew.
However, in one of the comments, she says exactly what happened. Amy's mother was one of Jim's students, and they are most definitely half siblings. That's also why Jim was "So Sure" they wouldn't have sex, because he told them they were half siblings and thought that would stop them... Amy could lose custody of their children because of this as well.

Day four of asking r/ to put the post link in the comments or description, because now there was an update that we could have seen a lot more easily

[RaNdMkDoI]

The longest rSlash video ever... we're in for a treat peoples!

Last longest was nearly 32 minutes, and the one after 29 lol

[AlastorsNight]

I have heard this story before and yes, this woman does add a bunch of long-winded, unnecessary paragraphs where she basically goes in circles talking to herself basically trying to rationalize what she is experiencing so I don't blame rSlash for editing this down. It was so frustrating to listen to when it was just read as written lol.

OP confirmed in the comments of her most recent post that Amy and Luke are in fact half siblings. Amy was Jim’s (Luke’s father) affair child and Cat the mother never knew.

[izraelburgess]

Tom and Sophie are the GOATS !!!

They knew something was wrong, they took the innocent party into considering, and strategically forced the guilty party’s hands

[luke-ilnr]

I swear rslash has a gift of choosing barely monetizable thumbnails

44 MINUTES FOR ONE STORY?! He was NOT lying at the start

[MegaAstroFan]

The teens taking action certainly solves the primary issue. But man, talk about selfish with Luke and Amy, imagine being so committed to being in an affair that you're willing to potentially let your kids date each other rather than come clean.

[jordanpatterson]

This story went from, "my daughter is in love with her brother", to "my husband had an affair with his sister".

Also, Luke and Amy's children are both brothers/sisters and cousins. So Tom is Sophie's half brother and direct cousin, I'm pretty sure.

[whytho]

after reading the last update and the coments from op it seems that the secret was that- luke and amy are half siblings. Cat doesn't know her husband was unfaithful. Amy was sexually abused by her official father and he was later taken to prison for possession of pictures and videos. Jim told Luke and Amy about them being siblings that's why they could never be together officially.

There was actually one more update:

Hey everyone. This may very well be my last update for a while. I'm in therapy now, as are my children. (And, from what I hear, Amy's children are as well, so that's good.) So I should probably be focusing on healthier ways to expel my feelings. Nonetheless, I have talked to my therapist about these posts and according to her, venting anonymously online can be healthy, up to a point. If I do talk about my life again, I may do it in different sub-reddits or something, I'm still not sure.

I have also met with the Judge now. Many were worried about how these posts might come back to bite me in the ass, legally speaking. The short answer is that they won't. The long answer is that because they're anonymous, there's technically no risk of defamation or "slander." I've changed enough of the meaningless details and given everyone fake names. The posts aren't going to be relevant in the case, and I'm clear to keep writing them if I so choose, so long as I don't discuss the details of the actual case itself. Though I think the Judge would prefer I just stop writing these altogether, one of the reasons I may do so.

Without divulging the specifics, I went ahead and reported what I had learned, and all hell broke loose. I knew I had to do so, because Amy and Luke had changed gears after Jim passed. They began to make the case that Luke and I had always had an open marriage. That there could be no such thing as an affair, and any instances of Luke sleeping with Amy could not be counted against him. It is no accident that they chose to do this after we lost Jim. As far as I can tell, he was the only other person who knew about what Luke and Amy did, and would have done something about it. Now that they don't have to worry about that, I think they wanted to claim I always knew about the affair and that it was no true affair. When I didn't report them, they must have assumed I didn't know the truth, and they changed their story. But I knew. I reported it, and now they're fucked.

Which unfortunately means everyone else found out. There was no way the children wouldn't learn the truth through the grapevine. I told Sophie and Tom personally because I figured they would learn of it anyway. The others did. Tom was pretty shell shocked. I know I'm just the messenger, but I felt terrible and I wanted to comfort him, but there wasn't a whole lot I could do. Poor Kaylee did not handle it well. I'm told she had several meltdowns, and then tried to run away. I know she tried to run away because she came to our house for sanctuary. And literally, I had to give her back. I knew all the reasons I had to but I was sorely tempted to give the middle finger to all of them and let Kaylee stay with us against Amy's wishes. But no, I had to relinquish her and honestly...nothing has been harder than that was. I know it isn't my fault but I still feel like I betrayed her.

Sophie's also been dealing with a lot of anger toward her father, especially after he and Amy forced Kaylee to come back to stay with Amy again. All of this... It hit Sophie and Kaylee the hardest. Luke wanted to see Sophie again and she refused. She wouldn't come out of her room. Technically, I was supposed to let him see her, but she's fifteen years old. I told her to come out of her room, she wouldn't. So in my book, I tried. This was after Kaylee's incident so when Luke pressed me to force Sophie out of her room, I'm not proud to say I shouted at him to leave. My blood was boiling by that point. Throughout all this, my soon to be ex husband and his affair partner are still acting like I'm the bad guy.

Luke and Amy are angry with me, and that's putting it lightly. They have no right to be but they are, or at least they're acting angry. I now have a restraining order against Amy because I was quite certain she would confront me after the fact, and she did. After I reported them, and before Kaylee came over, Amy came to the house while my kids were home, banged on the door and screamed. She was furious with me for what I had done. But I don't know what she expected me to do. I called the police, but Amy was gone by the time they showed up. They were just as useless as last time, to be honest. When Kaylee came to me for asylum, Amy came after her, but I wouldn't let her in until she called the cops herself. I would only let one of them take Kaylee, Amy was not setting foot in my house. I was very clear to explain the situation but it didn't matter.

Amy later smeared me on social media and framed me as a kidnapper. I set the record straight without divulging too much about the circumstances of the situation, which I was tempted to do. Luke also gave me the lecture of a lifetime when I saw him, but I just kept cutting him off and spitting the facts in his face. I don't know if it's been my time away from him, but I'm learning to recognize his bullshit now where previously I fell for it every time. He always sounds so reasonable and sweet but what he's actually saying is often circular and evasive. Honestly, I am so angry with him for what he's done to his children, ALL of them. Kaylee especially. I want to adopt that girl. I know I can't, but I want to.

Cat and I had a long talk as well. So far as I can tell, she didn't know, and she's genuinely sorry for her earlier deception. Trust takes time to rebuild, but I also understand that she was in an awful position. But now that certain things have come to light, she's kind of in shambles herself, so I pity her. Not to mention, if Amy loses custody of her children, and she very well might, I'll need all the help I can get. I can't take all of them in, I don't have the space. Cat will need to do some of the leg work. So I'm trying to give her the chance to earn my trust back, sort of out of necessity. I can't speak to the long term but if all goes as it should, Luke's not even going to be getting visitation of my kids. We'll know soon enough though, and it will be on record, if Amy's children were fathered by him. All I know is, they've always been quite certain Kaylee was, though they never had her tested. So far as I can tell, Amy hasn't really been intimate with anyone other than Luke for a long time. For the record, Cat is still supporting Amy financially, and by that I mean, she's supporting Amy's kids. I don't mind that. If Amy loses custody, that all goes away anyway.

As to the how and why of Luke and Amy getting together? From the letters, I've put the pieces together as best I could. Amy was sexually abused as a child and Luke was apparently the only person she felt "safe" exploring her sexuality with when they were in high school. It was a very bad idea and they both knew the reason it was a very bad idea well before they made that choice. As to the lie about them being "surrogate siblings, " apparently they always DID have that kind of relationship emotionally...but they also did this. After Tom was born (they also believe Tom to be theirs, going off the letters) the bond took on more romantic aspects as well. Amy describes Luke as "my person" and he says the same about her. I did read the letters in more depth for as much as it sickened me, I wanted to understand.

I'm doing better overall, though. Personally, I'm doing better. Which makes me feel kind of guilty because nobody else is. My kids are miserable, which makes me miserable, but I know there's light at the end of the tunnel and I want them to see it. Luke and Amy are miserable, which, honestly...I'm not gonna say I'm glad about, but, I don't know what they were expecting. They've been playing a monstrous game for decades, it was always going to have consequences sooner or later. Amy's kids are miserable, especially Kaylee. I wish I could reach out to her again, but I absolutely can't except through Tom, and he needs to play this carefully. Cat is miserable too. We're all still reeling from the loss of Jim, and honestly the Kaylee incident really tore my heart in half...but I think I'm over the hump and am taking comfort in how I'm actually choosing myself for a change.

Yk, Rslash, you could've put this video in 2 parts but you didn't. I respect you for that.

[AsheReads]

I never understood why men won't just stay with the "best friend" if they are so close. Like, what is the point of getting in a relationship/marriage only to keep the person who actually holds your attention in the mix. You're only hurting the other person you've roped into and give them trauma and trust issues.

Edit: I just got to the end. What the fuck?!

[Red.Isnt.Dead]

Rslash PLEASE keep giving us longer videos. I love longer videos and i love your videos but im only able to watch for the short time in the morning, if i was able to continue watching once i got home would be AMAZING

[valornthered]

Genetics doesn't work exactly the same as the math, but just doing the math for the hell of it. Luke and Amy are both 1/2 Jim, so they both pass down 1/4 of Jim to their kids. So all of their kids are also sort of 1/2 Jim. Jim's kids with OP would be 1/4 Jim. If Sophie and Tom has actually hooked up, she'd pass down 1/8 Jim and Tom 1/4, making their kids 3/8s Jim, which is 37.5%. So rSlash was very close when he said they'd be around 40% shared DNA.

[allieg]

I am 10 minutes in as I am writing this comment and I literally just want to scream at op like I am dying on the inside how are you so complacent?
23 mins in : OMG THANK GOD THOSE KIDS ARE SO SMART OH MY GOD MY HEART
