I hope OP's dad realizes that he lost his kids for Stepmonster when he's old and alone.

"She might feel like she's excluded from the family" and smacking a kid hard enough to split his lip over something you're not dealing with doesn't help. And the dad going "If she ain't going than neither am I" just tells me he cares more about an abuser than the kids she abused. FU Dad.

Ironic of a stepmom to tell a half-brother he ‘isn’t family’.

"I love my Dad." But he doesn't love you, and continues to prove it.

Shame on those who let SM do this for years and even told op she’s “over reacting “ if you put hands on my child it’s not me you need to worry about. It’s my wife, she will tear you up putting your hands on our kids

"I only hit him once" That's twice too many times

“I hope this is my last update, thank you” 20 *minutes remaining to the video*

Okay but Nina and Laura are total *badasses*

Love how he named stepmother, "step monster".

She literally tried to make a baby shower all about her for Instagram and social media post. While yeah some people do that, but with their OWN baby showers. She's not the one pregnant, and she doesn't have rights to change anything without permission. And the fact that she refuse to acknowledge the fact that op had a boy speaks volume. She really wanted a girl, and just didn't want to accept the fact, it's a boy not a girl she dreamed to have. She is toxic, and I would suggest keeping her away from the son and future children, especially daughters. Heaven knows what she would do and say to the child when op isn't present.

I'm almost certain that the stepbrother's (4year) girlfriend actually left him because of his horrible mother. He just refused to acknowledge it at that time.

She hit a child. Any excuse anyone makes for her need to be banned from anywhere near children

What a pathetic father. He failed both his own children and his grandchildren. If he outlives her he’ll propably come crawling back

Maybe I'm just a bad person, but if I were OP, I'd have planted the seeds of distrust with the final phone call with the father. Ya know, "can't wait until it's revealed that she's cheating on you." Lets be real here, there's extremely high probability that SM is cheating on OP's father.

That guy will only realize his mistake when he'll grow old, take off the rose tinted glasses and see that all his children left him, he didn't see his grandchildren grow up and btch has either somehow turned even worse trying to seize control over all the family, has cheated on him, started to abuse him or has just abandonned him bc she didn't need him anymore

it's funny how some people like OP's father need to lose almost everything precious to them to even have a slight chance of understanding one's fault. Bet SM is gonna project her toxicity on him and the rest of the family members since OP and his sister are gone and he's still gonna stick with her

Yeah man you knew who your dad and her were. I wish everyone who was abused growing up, understood that they are doing their children a massive disservice by keeping them around the people who abused them.

The way Step Monster was, I wouldn't be shocked if the first girlfriend the stepbrother had was harrassed by the filth until she [the girlfriend] had to end the relationship in order to escape the insanity. Edited to add after thinking about it: the filth, AKA the Step Monster was so desperate to be accepted by the paternal family that she shot herself in the foot several times by inserting herself into anything and everything and made everyone hate her that much more. It must have gotten under skin to see that Luke and Jane were cared for while she [the filth] was seen for the trash she really was

"But SM's pictures looked like Barbie had puked all over Hello Kitty's birthday party" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I had a stepmom like this. She, at one point, was my dad's mistress. She never liked me and I didn't like her. When she would get all hoity toity talking about love, honor and respect and all those things, I pointed out that an honorable woman doesn't break up marriages. Of course, it takes two to tango but it was fun watching her face twist up like a quickly aging grape when I called her out on her crap. The abuse started right after the ring went on her finger. First it was emotional, then verbal and sometimes she would slap me on the arm or around my shoulder. One time she went to swing for my face and I ducked away and she ended up hitting the wall. Dad walked in on it. He tried to say that I had started the conflict and I was known for being a drama queen. I was 12 for Christ's sake. When she would sit next to me I would flinch and she put her arm around me and pull away. My dad and my grandparents tried to make it out like I didn't like being touched. Then I would get up and stand away from everyone. They asked me why I was being so difficult. I said “because I feel like she's going to hit me.” You could have heard a pin drop. My dad and my grandparents jumped down my throat while my stepmom sat there looking awkward. They all denied she would ever do that. I yelled back at them: “How the hell would all of you know?” My relationship with my stepmom went from toxic to nuclear after that. It didn't help at all that she still had one daughter who lived at home and she was a total crap starter. She accused me of going in her room. I didn't do that because I respected boundaries but it didn't stop my witch stepsister from stirring the pot. My stepmom got in my face and yelled at me. Then she took a swing at me and this time I couldn't tuck out of the way. She slapped me. I screamed. My dad came running in and he saw me holding me holding my face. My dad went off on his wife. He ranted about how no one was going to treat his kids that way. I decided to butt in and say: "Except for you, right dad?” I went and locked myself in the bathroom. I could hear them screaming at each other. Apparently my stepsister ran out the front door and across the street to the neighbor's house. When I finally came out of the bathroom, it was clear my stepmom had been crying. She had the nerve to say to me and “I hope you're happy.” I said some choice words to her and told her she would never have had to deal with me if she didn't break up my parents and violate the commandant that forbids adultery. She started to take a step towards me and I told her if she laid another hand on me I would call the cops, file a report and have her arrested. She worked for the county and any charges against her would cause her to lose her job. Unsurprisingly, my dad and her split. Apparently it wasn't okay for someone else to abused his kids except for him.

OP seems like a really good man who truly cares about the safety and wellbeing of his family. I hope they’re doing well.

when I saw the Reddit story title, I thought OP was going to be someone with a spoiled kid. that.... was not the case. also, that shit about "old era folks", that's bs. she didn't discipline the kid, she fucking attacked him. that is heinous. assuming this story is real, the only reason they'd support the dad and SM over OP is because their ties with the dad are stronger. it's got nothing to do with them being in an old folks club

25:10 I loved that “ nice try” 🤣

Because of her actions he has lost all three of his children his two biological and his stepchild and I can almost guarantee he's going around thinking they're all three exaggerating and ungrateful but what they need to understand is that if all three of your children are forced to cut contact with you you were not a good person you are not a good parent you do not deserve to have them in your life you deserve all the s*** that comes flying at you if that is the case ruined three innocent lives because she's f****** unhinged and then physically assaulted a f****** toddler and she still got off in my opinion so lightly a restraining order which she can hide she doesn't have to tell people that that's active she doesn't have to tell them why it happened she can even make up reasons as to why it happened definitely deserves worse than what she's gotten and she definitely doesn't see that it's her own fault it's happened even our own son wants nothing to do with her

I'm not sure which is my favorite part. Uno Reversing her Baby Shower Bull Shit, or her own biological son cleaning his hands of her after getting the true story.

Shame on the commenters who asked for that video/proof. Wtf is wrong with people

OP didn't want to know the gender until birth, and that's what I did as well. I loved the fact that it drove people crazy that we didn't know (and wouldn't tell them if we did)!

I dont think i would ever forgive my dad, specially not after the stepbrother also cutting contacts with the step mother. If it isnt obvious for the father that the step mother is the problem then there is no point even thinking about him ever again.

Hitting a freaking child is so out of line >:(

OP's dad is the textbook definition of a simp. All that energy for someone who assaulted a minor and the minor didn't even do anything that deserved an assault.

People say they hope the dad wakes up. The dad gets to sleep with the stepmonster so not having his kids or grandkids is the least of his worries.

I would be in jail so fast if my stepmom hurt my child. I would be smiling in my mugshot too. 😁

OP shouldn't feel too sorry for his father, he made his choice. I'd disown my own father if he made that same choice.

I have heard this before (stayed in case of more updates) and it is a sad tale. Though I will take away the "it was like Barbie puked all over Hello Kitty's party"

Anyone attacking a kid over anything don’t deserve love or anything but no mercy and that father is not a good grandparent or dad

hold the fuck up, she beat up a kid and people were STILL on her side?

I am so glad OP and Jane went NC with stepmonster and Enabler Dad.

Luke is not part of the family? SM is not part of the family! She is just your dads wife! Not a blood relation! This is so upsetting, even listening to you has reduced me to tears, i am soon to become A SM. I will be lucky to get a bonus daughter age 16, my son is an adult and 32 years old. Your dad will come around, but your MIL has gotten everything she deserves and more! Dont feel bad things eventually work out. This to shall pass!

Just think of it this way, the wedding will be cheaper if half your family wont come..tbh you have to be better off without them surely

Some of OP's phrasing have literally left me gasping and rewinding to review what my laughter had drowned out. When Barbie puked all over Kitty's party, I startled my dogs. OP for the win!

She splitt the lip of a 3 year old boy.

Hope OP and Wife have a long and happy life together

It has to be the best way to be called a dumbass, the way Jane called OP a dumbass for worrying that she would blame him. :D

If at any point OP, or even someone in their situation, reads this: The *second* your kid is old enough that you can let other people take care of them (Schools, babysitters, Daycares, Etc.), make absolutely sure that they understand that there will *never* be a reason that either parent will be allowed to pick up your kid. SM has shown she's unhinged, and I wouldn't put it past a narcissist to try and steal something they've been told they can't have.

I can totally see SM being the reason her son's fiancee decided to run away with her ex, she probably had to endure 4 years of SM's bullshit and decided that she didn't want to marry into that family.

Jane sounds awesome.

May OP and his be blessed.

The stepmother is appalling. She assualted a child, and OP is right to ban her from his house and the wedding.

i was eating a cookie when he said you get an invisible cookie like HAHA GOT A REAL ONE 😋

The father reaped all this just for a glory hole.

Not family? He’s literally the brides little brother…

Good Job on pressing charges. She should be in jail and your dad can take a flying leap.

I heard that story before, it's nice to have some updates

Man, do you realize how killer the stepmonster must have been in bed for the dad to defend her to that level? Like she must have had fireworks shooting out of there or something

If I had been the one to organize a baby shower and the SM did that with the boxes of decorations. I'd take hers and replace them with my own. The look on her face when she opened them would be priceless.

Imagine taking your toxic wife side over your children, he'll regret it when she runs off with some dude she met while scoping out better partners.

"DO IT FOR DAN!" Like always :D

So maybe I misheard this but OP’s dad cheated on his gf to be with this awful woman? Well I can see why OP’s mom divorced him in the first place. This SM sounds like a sociopath. Who the hell tries to be the matriarch to two kids whose actual mother is alive & around? That’s stepford wife territory right there.

Barbie puked over Hello Kitty's birthday party had me...

"I'm not worried about them trying to show up at the wedding" *checks time left on video* 22 minutes

Absolutely love the descriptor of "Most instagrammable ever"

Sorry ladies about this next bit but. Wow she must have one hell of a magic box for the dad to stay with that level of crasy.

Everyone has move on. All is left is if dad is willing to clear his eyes for once

This was one of the best written stories I've seen for awhile. Good job.

Don't invite them to the wedding! Keep your family away from them. NC!!

And in the legal eye (by what i know) Luke is OP's step child so he is family and also by blood on OP's wife side of the family

It took me a long time to realize watching these videos that bil means brother in law and sil means sister in law

i hope this is my last update. *20 minutes left in the video*

Dad 1000% hates his grandkid. Who tf doesnt divorce over that?!

Stepmother basically called OP's fiance a ho. That Luke is not OP's. If I could talk to OP. and the fiance. I would have them do a DNA test on both OP and Luke. Then show the results to SM and his dad. I would say that the sm does not realize how much OP's dad's side has accepted her. She is unable to see that fact. Thus her jealousy over Jane and Luke is very much unfounded. She is also instinctively hates OP and his sibs due to the fact they give evidence that his dad had relations with their mom. And they do not have any of sm's DNA in them. For all you folks, this is why many step parents have troubles accepting their stepchildren. And why they let their offspring if any to terrorize the offspring they are steps to. Seen this type of action before with an ex-bf of mine. It is why I became leery of ever becoming a stepmom myself. And I had a chance a few decades ago.

I only got one name to call OP's dad, SIMP👎👎

"i dont plan on updating before the wedding unless something big happens" "update: something huge happened" every time...

Why didn't you call the damn police in the first part.

Alcoholic Aunt brought out on a wheelchair

They don't want to come.they don't need to,stand ur ground.

Ik it’s not that funny but I laughed my butt of when he stepmosters

I am glad that you realized quite early on that you needed that footage and the nanny cam as well and I'm glad you were smart enough to get seen by the police that she is abusive because this may come in handy in future times when she abuses somebody else's kid and trust me you are not alone. I wish you and your fiance who is hopefully by now your wife a long and happy life.

I like OPs wife. She seems like good people.

had to relisten to the part where laura whispered "nice try" bc THE AMOUNT OF TRIUMPH I FELT

Always be courteous when it’s quiet.

Why is always the parents or siblings?

Good on OP,always press charges

Hey Telltale would you be able to post a link to the story or author in the description of these videos so I can read the comments and stuff?

I love that you say step monster instead of step mother

My dad’s dad is similar to op’s. His current wife is a nightmare and my dad was the only one of his children to still be talking with him. The wife finally won by getting my dad banned from their home and grandpa chose his wife over his son.

Hours upon hours of minecraft parkour footage that never loops.... That's the wild part

When your kids go NC ans you still don't get it

Step monster💀

I´d only let the father in if he ditches the stepmonster.

Now people leaving the dad's side one by one because of his beloved wife. He'd die alone if stepmonster chose to leave him too lol

The reason step mom doesn’t feel welcome is because she has narcissistic behaviors that prevent her from truly being likable. So if all family members have a run in that didn’t go well, it is hard to accept it and more hard when an apology doesn’t happen.

I was just watching a video that was sad then when I clicked this video I said “anyways time to listen to some drama”

Sooo how is your stepsons no family but you stepmother is? That has zero logic

... "he is not family" do they feel like family? do you feel like they are family? there we go, problem solved... they are to be loved and respected as family, no legal paperwork or adoption is needed.

Wow I hope ops dad likes the fact that he's now has no contact with his child or his grandchild because of a psychopath who attacks a child

Im glad she called op a dumbass for believing it was his fault hopefully she laughed and kissed him when calling him that

It’s funny how she will hit the kid but the reason is that he can’t be the ring bearer because he isn’t family meaning according to her logic she just hit some kid because they weren’t a part of her family

This one story takes THIRTY MINUTES TO READ

I thank the lord I don’t live with a roommate. Because that’s the type of shit that would get me arrested for assault. You don’t mess with a persons sleep. You push a person hard enough they will snap. People love playing dangerous games with other people.

Good job not giving in and congrats on the wedding
