I flew out to see my mom for the first time ever, and 15 years later I still regret it.

I love that this channel always finishes the video, links to longer videos when there is one, and doesn't have background music. It's the only reddit story channel I'm subbed to.

It's not your fault Hun. People are sometimes broken and there is nothing you can do. But accept people for there faults. I hope you can heal in time.

It's not his fault that his mom died. if it hadn't happened then, it would have happened another day. She chose that life, not somebody else. Sad, but a life lesson

[Berniej.Janinsky]

What part of "I Do This ALL The Time!" did you miss??!
She Would Have Killed Herself Driving Drunk, No Matter What!!! SHE JUST DECIDED TO TRY TO TAKE YOU WITH HER!!!
YOUR MOM WOULD BE DEAD, EVEN IF YOU NEVER SHOWED UP!!!
(That's what drunks do!!!)

This was truly the craziest mother and son day ever

[theultimaterobloxian-jq]

I genuinely feel sad for him since I also am kinda in his situation

[FlonieXD]

The Dad should have never let him go be with a person he knew was a danger to his son, regardless of the fight he had with a 7th grader. He was meant to be the responsible adult with full custody here. How massively irresponsible of him. I hope he forked out the money for OPs therapy.

The fact that their Dad send them alone to meet his mother who was notoriously drunk is insane to me . They were a child who said the wrong thing and so he chooses to send them alone to an unsafe adult?

[anonymous_emo]

Similar situation.. although my accident had no injurys or deaths. Just can't see my mum till she quits her addiction (never). Christmas eve, i noticed her acting weird and i know i couldve stopped her. But i didn't. So i know the feeling of blaming yourself for shit you cant control. Stay strong everyone x

[Kagamine_Len_Banan]

Am I the only one who think the dad overreacted a bit..? Every kid says that they hate their parents when arguments get heated, and I bet kids with divorced parents that live with one or the other say that a lot when they get mad enough.. to buy a plane ticket over an argument is kinda silly.. (edit: bro, why is this such a problem..? It’s my opinion.. am I not allowed to have one?)

[Mayoooooooooooooo]

Hot take but I think the dad’s kind of terrible for doing this. I mean I’m all for hands on education, but the dad flew his kid out to be taken care of unsupervised by a dangerous alcoholic. That was his choice. Yeah the mom was drinking and driving, that was her choice, but the dad put his kid in that situation knowing how she was and clearly scarred the kid for life.

[gennanation]

Why would the dad willing put his son In a situation like this? This shouldn’t be a teaching moment! He should of told him why he would regret that instead of risking his own life . Honestly parents like this make me pop a fuse

[Fantasyfanatic-gznk]

It was absolutely not the kids fault.

It was the mom's fault, for being an irresponsible alcoholic, and it was especially the dad's fault for sending his son into the sole care of a completely dysfunctional alcoholic.

[Jo-AnnMyles]

Bro met her son for the first time, and died immediately

[BusinessMindsetCoachSharlot]

Your mom chose that life and she eventually faced her consequences, you just happen to witness it. But why? Maybe you needed to teach others, maybe you needed a lesson not to drink and drive, not to become an addict. Who knows? Only time will tell. I wish the best for OP, I hope they get through this.

[KimChaDan_Movies]

The fact the mom wasn’t even evil, she still cared for him.

[deminerdg]

I lived with my dad after a really bad breakup this year and his alcohol problems got so bad I told him I couldnt do it, and I needed to leave.

I moved back home and not even a month after I left I got the call from my grandparents that they found him in our apartment.
It was devastating,
I have my moments where I believe I couldve helped him still, stayed and endured the pain.
It hurts, but Im trying to refrain from regretting thise emotions I had.

[sheridanvance]

I’m so sorry that he had to go through this. It wasn’t his fault and I hope he understands that. 💛💛💛💛💛

[maryworwood]
