that really was a stunning comeback from joe, and the mom probably didnt expect her own actions to be thrown up in her face like that. this woman got served time and time again
I bet her husband had no clue where that came from. She is certainly playing him like a fidel. That she had the audacity to react to that as a victim when she did worse when their stepmom died when they were little kids just shows she has no soul. She is rotten inside and that dumbarse of a husband is a joke.
So the ex thought Sam needed to learn "the value of mothers"? She sounds like the type who believes that a mother is always entitled to her kids' love even if she's abused them.
He already knew "the value of mothers." He loved his STEPmother, who was a wonderful woman who died too soon. Meanwhile, when Joe gets "the news," I wouldn't be surprised if he hired a five piece orchestra to set up across the street from the funeral home, to play "Ding Dong, the Witch Is Dead" on repeat until every last "mourner" is gone.
Which carried the irony that you could totally have seen her treating any of her kids with him just like his mother treated him and his siblings. He almost ended up with a marriage just like his father had with his egg donor.
@@shadizersilverhand2113 Sometimes you can be fully aware of who your parents are and still fall into the trap of ending up with someone like them, as Sam came close to doing.
@@MsAnimefan95 true. Just like Sam's mother conned his father with the appearance of decency until they were married and her facade finally came off. His mother ironically did a good thing for him that she'd have never knowingly done by outing his fiancee for what she was.
@@MsAnimefan95 Yep. She sure does. But That's not true. Much like everything else in life, you are not entitled to love. You must give love in order to get it. You get what you give. ❤
Imagine being so paranoid about your spouse being unfaithful that you accuse your own child of trying to be your replacement in your marriage. There’s no way to navigate that kind of insanity without some serious psychological intervention!
Yes, that's the kind of thing you wish was just something made up for an episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit instead of being a sad reality.
I used to have a friend who was dating a girl, and he was so jealous that he'd accuse her of cheating with literally anyone. It was bad enough when it was friends like myself, but he accused her of sleeping with her brothers. She wasn't allowed to wear normal clothes (wearing jeans was dressing up), and not allowed to go out in social situations without him.... Thankfully, they are no longer together, but they had 3 children before they split.
Haha a cult more like a real nuclear family dynamic. Good thing he didn't marry her he would've gotten screwed by divorce court by those crocodile tears
People also can't decide on how someone else should or should not move past or deal with that trauma. As long as they deal with it in a healthy, productive manner then others should leave it alone. OP, her siblings, her dad have all been to therapy in the past and they all decided that cutting out the toxic mom was the best solution. The ex in her all knowing wisdom can't understand why they would cut her off. Finding out that the ex-fiance own father is a liar and cheat who has betrayed his wife, her mother, and they are still married tells everyone much about why she accepting of OP's mom's behavior. Just because the ex has a miserable family doesn't mean OP's brother should and would join in that misery by letting their mom back into his life.
Borderline? Sorry, I see that as full blown psychotic. It's almost at the " here's Johnny! " level of psychosis. But I'm not trying to have a fight with anyone. Just expressing my view of how crazy she is. I'm hoping for the update with her demise. Not because I want to be morbid, but so I can see that they can finally start to heal without the paranoia of " if I do this, will she rear her head? "
More people need to hear this, especially writers. I hate media that has one character bully/guilt trip another into “recovering” from their trauma and get treated like they’re in the right. “You need to get over this horribly traumatic thing that happened to you.” “Wow, I never thought of that! You made me recover from my trauma and I love you for it and I’m totally not going to bury my feelings & trauma out of fear & distrust until I break down!” 🤢 It’s trauma, not playing music a little too loudly or blocking the sidewalk. If someone has cancer or a heart or lung disease, is that character expected to bully/guilt trip them into instantly recovering from that too?
@@johnsmith-kt7ef my dad’s brother in law made a comment to his daughter saying “you don’t want to end up alone like your aunt and uncle” referring to my parents. I could’ve went for the jugular if that was said in front of me. I would not have been kind either. The ex knew enough about their past and used it against them.
My husband didn't get it for the longest time either. I went as far as doing him the favor and tried to reconciliate over and over again. But all I got out of it was more hurt and pain. But... They weren't invited to my wedding and my husband would have never dreamed of setting me up like that. That would be betrail and a hole different story. He never went behind my back. He "only" pushed me to keep contact and visiting and trying over and over to find my place in that viper pit. It doesn't work like that. It just didn't fit his world view that parents could do such cruel things to their own children. He just couldn't warb his head around it and wanted me to have a family on my side. He never understood that they never were on my side. (Sorry, english isn't my first language)
She’s projecting her image of what a family should be onto him. She probably thought it would be some beautiful reunion like in the movies, and she would get the credit for her. She played herself.
hothotheat, Which is strange in the first place, because her mother had at least on affair on her father. It seems her family believes that they stick together no matter what they do to hurt each other
@@jennysmith38 No... Her father had an affair and her mother stayed which led her to believe that no matter what your parents do, you have to forgive them and stay together. She was just forcing her own world views on op's family.
The ex fiancee obviously showed she lacked empathy, compassion and respect for the man whom she was going to marry. OP's brother could actually countersue her family for emotional trauma and disregard for the health and safety of those the estranged mother abused.
it was summed up in the fathers comment about "you both aren't getting any younger". He was her last real option to get married now that she is probably 30ish... It will be a significant downgrade now.
I was wondering if it’s even possible to sue I have read several left at the altar stories and not once do the parents ever try to sue or at least no mention of it
@@g-saviour6581 - Most likely they can't sue, but if one is ever served papers, you should always take it serious and prep a countersuit and get ready for the court date. The one who doesn't show up to even the most frivilous of lawsuits automatically loses the case.
1st story: So let me get this straight. Your brother’s ex-shrew betrayed you, you humiliated her, she’s throwing a temper tantrum like a toddler, and you guys just quietly backed away. The REAL question is: HOW could you POSSIBLY be the @$$hole?
Because they defended themselves and took no crap? Too many people think that if you fight back you lose the moral high ground. Joe's not screaming was keeping it classy while everybody else was throwing tantrums. OP's REAL family fought every inch of the way.
She humiliated herself. No matter what happened, it would not have ended well. She would have either been humiliated by being left at the alter or humiliated by OP's mom ruining her son's wedding. She made a bad choice, and now she has to deal with it.
Imagine calling someone's family a cult while you harass them for being a broken family that split due to cheating. Imagine saying all this while your father is apparently either a prior cheater or a present cheater. Imagine having your father with zero self-awareness speak of reconciliation in spite of the obvious enmity. Sounds like the cult comment was the pot calling the kettle black. I am loving those sweet swerving moves from Sam though, the energy, the vibe. Just MMMMmmmm...chefs kiss.
His ex’s parents want to sue him for the cost of the wedding because he didn’t marry her? Pretty sure they’d get laughed out of court when it comes out exactly why he didn’t marry her. Ex’s parents: He owes us the money because he didn’t marry our daughter. Judge: Why didn’t they get married? Ex’s parents: She invited his mother who abused him and his siblings and who he was no contact with behind his back as a surprise.
It's a good thing his ex showed her true colours by inviting his mother to the wedding or he would have married a woman like the one that married dear ole dad.
Literally smh. I hate when ppl undermine the experience of others when THEY WERENT THERE to experience it themselves. It’s foolish and entitled behavior. And I find ppl like that to be sus, bc they may be secretly that person and are capping for them so further excuse their behavior.
Tactical? Nah... definitely a strategic nuke. City killer 50MT nuke. She knows better than her husband who lived with the woman. She knows better than the father. She knows better than two other siblings who also went no contact. She knows better than a judge to awarded dad custody. She even had her fiance call her before the wedding, go nuts on her, and hang up on her. Yet, she is surprised he doesn't show up.
1st OP is the best sibling ever. He saved his brother from marrying someone just as toxic as the person that gave birth to him....because she isn't a mother
That relationship is a true illustration of how childhood trauma can sneak in and trip you up. I'm sure Sam always swore he'd never get into a relationship with a woman like his mom. But- surprise! 😱 Stuff in your subconscious remains in the corners. Therapy is a great idea for the whole "cult" so they can go forward more confident that they can recognize and head off trouble in the future.
Man was this a bullet dodged. Op's brother's ex probably still doesn't see that she did anything wrong. This wasn't her trying to 'fix' his relationship with his mom, she was flexing her control.
I got the feeling there was A LOT wrong with her and her family. They are the sort of people who need to look perfekt and happy for others to see even if they are miserable and nasty.
I get the feeling that Sam was the one who got the worse treatment of all the siblings so his siblings are very protective of him. Also it would explain why he fell for that troll, because abused people tend to fall into abuse cycles. It is so, so lucky that his sister was there early.
@@Midorikonokami Not really. At least he was allowed a relationship with his own father, without being called a whore for it. "Mother dear" called OP a whore and her father a pedophile, because they wanted time together, just like the brothers had with Father. "Mother dear" was actually jealous of her own daughter, and almost certainly OP got the brunt of the abuse. But Sam is a beloved sibling, and they all rallied round him. Probably they would have done the same for either of the others, too. Because without her, they had a functional, happy family.
A newer update shows that you are 100% right. She faked a pregnancy and lied to everyone about it and even said Sam wanted an abortion. She then threatened to harm herself if she couldn’t be with Sam.
No idea how the ex bride's brain is wired, thinking that what she did was a good idea. OP's family had a last moment lucky escape. Anyhow, congratulations to Lost Genre for having advanced from Peppa Pig to My Little Pony with your daughter. I smiled big when hearing that part.
Could you imagine being so self centered that you would invite your SO's abuser to their wedding without even telling them? What a piece of work the ex is, to actually believe she knew better than him about his own abuse. I would go to church and thank God I didn't end up marrying that monster!
I see it so often in these stories. People have lived in situations where they basically lived a carefree life. They just can't fathom why somebody would go no contact with family.
I *100%* agree with EVERYTHING this OP and her brothers did, and I applaud them for standing up to their HATEFUL mother and _especially_ for not allowing his ex to FORCE him into speaking to his TOXIC mother. Ex thought she could force him into a public reunion with mom and that he would just "go along" with it since the wedding and everything was already paid for, but I'm so, _SO_ glad he shut that down. Unfortunately, people who had GOOD childhoods with supportive, LOVING parents can never and _will_ *NEVER* truly understand what those of us with TOXIC, ABUSIVE, NARCISSISTIC parents went through. Sometimes people will _at the least_ try to be sympathetic, but mostly what I've gotten have been disapproving looks telling me I was "ungrateful" and "obviously misunderstanding" my mother's intentions, and blah, blah, blah. Brother's awful ex learned a lesson. She wanted to be seen as some heroic guru who bridged the gap between mother and son and healed their troubled relationship, so she could go on social media and brag to family and friends about how "great" she [ex] is and how her new husband is "so lucky" to have married her. 🙄 Ex is a *NARCISSIST* and brother dodged a *HUGE* bullet, because she sounds like she would have eventually morphed into what his mother was. Honestly ex was already halfway there.
This story makes my blood boil. Just because you have an happy upbringing it doesn't mean the rest of the world had the perfect childhood you had. It's so chilling that the fiancee did this kind of thing to OP brother, it shows that she is selfish to the core, specially as the relationship they have it seems to be an indication that OP brother trusted this woman enough to be willing to share his deepest fears and a life with her. This is one of the worst types of betrayal
Which she totally deserved considering she went to actually celebrate the Dad's wife dying and called her a whore to her kids' faces. Celebrating her own death is something they're totally entitled to do.
Honestly, everyone on OPs side handled the situation so well. Ex played a stupid game because she thought she knew better and was rightly humiliated for her stupidity. Throw the whole woman away with the batshit biomom as well. Edit: please update if op ever posts again Edit: ignore the last edit lol
This is not the first story where I have seen family members try to force estranged family members back together at a wedding. It always ends very poorly. This bride tried to give her groom a huge s*** test and lost spectacularly. Glad to see it
People who can’t comprehend that some parents should never be parents are wild to me. Like, just because you had a good mother doesn’t mean everyone else did. How up her own butt do you have to be to not understand that?
Ex-Fiancee just didn't get it, but not everyone has a perfect happy family. Not everyone needs every member of their family. Just because they are blood, doesn't mean you HAVE to keep them around. Forcing reconciliation is a one way trip to getting booted out of a person's life and never let back in. I had great parents, but horrible aunts and uncles. Sometimes they still try to get in touch, but they get blocked and ignored when they do, and there are good reasons I keep them away. You'd think that as vehemently as her SO insisted there would be no reconciliation, she'd understand that inviting the mother to the wedding would end in a shit show. And the mother being told by her son that the only news he wanted about her was of her funeral so he could go celebrate? Brutal and well deserved. I love when a terrible person gets their own actions handed back to them and feel how much it stings. I bet she cried all the harder knowing he remembered her actions, and would do the same to her.
From how it sounds, Ex-fiancee doesn't have the "perfect happy family" either. Sounds like the father cheats and the mother just allows it. Plus it also sounds like the father does some other stuff that they don't want getting out.
Yeah, it was lucky that his ex-bride was such a dumb-a. If she hadn't brought his mom and family to the wedding, she would have sprung them on him later when he was ensnared. 👿 Bullet dodged!
Imo, it was that _plus_ the ex saying “I’m keeping the engagement ring” and the brother’s *only* response the whole business transaction was “No one asked for it.” You know she wanted there to be a fight over it. 🤣
NTA: well done on being a great sibling and saving him from a life with another toxic and nasty control freak. And why do people try to force the victims of toxic and abusive parents to reconcile with them? Does it make them feel that they're better than everyone else or something?
The answer the first question is usually: "bEcaUsE fAmiLY iS ThE mOsT ImPoRtaNt tHinG" Which is the most *STUPID* thing I've ever heard especially in this context. Also I believe people think it's wrong when a child doesn't talk to their parents even when it's better for the child's mental health to go LC/NC when they get away.
@@Mythical_Paws You can't use the fact you're family as an excuse to be a horrible person. Nor can you convince someone to reconcile with a toxic person, even if they're family. Chances are that person cut them off for a reason. Yes, family is the most important thing in life, but you shouldn't be close to someone who hurt you in the past, even if they're family. ❤
Wow. At the risk of sounding like a “simp,” I appreciate your videos with all the updates so much! It is so satisfying to hear the whole story, start to finish. I will thank you again for all your hard work. ✌️💐
@@jgw5491 lol. I was called that on another comment I made on a different video on this channel, wherein I had expressed appreciation for how thorough these videos are. I admit I don’t have a clue as to it’s meaning, but if I recall, the commenter used all caps when accusing me of being a simp and posting my comment just to get recognition from this creator! My response to the commenter was simply “lol. Bless your heart!” Said in my best Southern voice, naturally! ✌️
@@LostGenre lol. Someone called me that word after I expressed appreciation on another of your videos! I don’t even know what it means, exactly! I just thought it was funny, kind of like a private joke between that person and myself!😂
@@MegaGinia That would be "lol. Bless your heart, YA'LL!"😘 😂 Urban dictionary: "It is when a male is overly submissive to a female and gains nothing from it." Yeah, no, not a simp. Just a grateful visitor to "Lost Genre". I'm grateful for his work, too. 😀
On mark narations, there was a further update. She tried to claim she was pregnant to get him back, but that fell through when he insisted they go to the doctors to prove it. I think she's desperate because she can't get anyone to marry her. A sentiment her parents share from the way they tried to get ops brother to still marry her despite everything.
Story 1 OP is NTA. Her brother's ex is the AH, it was not her place to invite his mother behind his back. She had been told why he was no contact and should have respected him.
Since you labeled it like this, Story 1: NTA, you didn't think about her, what about her thinking about her fiancé. She betrayed ever bit of their relationship, and he was open to how bad it was with his mom. Heck if they were to go to court, then OP's brother would just have to show how the mother intentionally took the kids out to prevent them from going to the step-mom's funeral. He had one reasonable boundary, and the fiancé ignored that for her own 'white knight' complex. She wanted to be the hero, instead of being the supporter she was supposed to be. And based on the update, the ex was just as crazy, and I think her family is the real cult. I mean they believed family trumped everything, and the members beliefs on how the world works in seriously warped.
Okay, wow. OP you and your siblings rock! You take care of each other, and don't let anyone put you down for being in your "cult". Not all women are meant to be mothers just as not all men are meant to be fathers. OP's mother is nothing but a genetic donor nothing more. I'm glad to hear you're going for counseling, we all need it sometimes. Take care of yourselves and each other, from an only child who wishes she had siblings like you.
While telling him he HAS to make up with his mother because he has to learn to value them, while the ex made it clear how much she didn't value her fiance's feelings or respect his suffering in the slightest.
I thought the line about celebrating his egg donor's death (when it happens) was appropriate since mom actually did celebrate the stepmom's death. You reap what you sow.
OMG this was a crazy story. The bride deserved what she got. The mother is awful. I'd be no contact too. My step mom was jealous of my relationship with my dad but to have yer own mom jealous of you with your dad, her husband is disgusting and warped. I'm glad Sam got away.❤
Joe is my hero. You all need a Joe in your life who can stand up for you in a church full of disappointed people who will never understand what dodging a bullet looks like. Edit: Holy cow! I commented prematurely! Joe's reply to his mom puts him on a whole new level of savage! I love it!
3:39 she *_deserved_* to be humiliated, IMHO. She just walked over her fiancé's boundaries like it was nothing without any deep understanding of the situation and thought she could get away with it. Who knows what other boundaries she'd overstep if they eventually got married.
100% if my SO pulled the kind of thing that brother's fiance did and invited either of my parents (completely NC with most of my family because of their abuse and unwillingness to change or acknowledge their behavior), I'd ghost them so fast and so hard, they'd be using a oueji board to trying and contact me.
I heard the beginning of this story and I immediately checked out my notifications for LG's channel. Was definitely not disappointed. Another awesome presentation LG. You're a Titan!
I "love" how she went on about how the whole family hates "mothers," but just completely ignores how much they all love their late step-mother. She's such an idiot. It's a good thing Sam is well rid of her. I feel sorry for whoever she does wind up marrying, because she IS an abuser, and her true colors are showing. Just imagine life with her, when she thinks she's "safe" to do what she really wants to do to him, and the rest of you, too!
Likely in her "suger" mind. Stepmom's "aren't people" so OP and brother's hatred to egg donor for how she acted towards their deceased stepmom isn't warranted (Remember she's "projecting" cause she KNOWS Egg Donor and her share ALOT in common!)
Wow even after all the stories they told the ex she STILL thought she could just invite OP's mother with no repercussions. Then to act like a victim.? She sounds just like the mother.
as a kid, my parents both tried their best to always have one on one time with my two siblings and i, and they are some of my favourite memories 😊 dad and i used to go camping together or even just go out to the hardware store together! even as an adult we often go out to a restaurant together or go day camping just the two of us!! its super important to have that one on one time with your kids, makes them know they are loved and valued as human beings!! my dad makes a point of telling us he loves us, no matter what.
Really loved this one! Guessing it's from a Hispanic country, but likely only because it's the only other culture I've spent enough time with. You have a great reading voice, a smooth delivery, and excellent fluency. Love the accent, too. Thank you for the work you put into your channel.
It's beautiful seeing the strength of bond of the siblings. I couldn't believe (but not really shocked) the ex-fiancee tried doubling down so hard. It's clear though she'd been talking to that manipulative bitch for awhile though...
This is the reason why I think everyone who's getting married should have someone ready to drive the getaway car. Ya never truely know what/who will get pulled out of the woodwork by someone who thinks they know better.
This is perfect example of someone needs to mind their own business when someone tell you don’t get involved with something that they don’t want to deal with
15:53 "The only news he ever wanted to hear related to her were the ones about her funeral so he could go celebrate" Insert 'Damn' memes or the roar of the people memes
I watched this story on a different channel, and they didn’t add the second update, only mentioned that the brother was meeting with the ex-fiancé. I instantly came here knowing you would have something extra! Thanks for the video😁
Sam was lucky not end up like his dad & man savage of Joe to say that they'll see their mom at her funeral I don't blame them man their mother is horrible I would do the same thing.
What an incredible family unit (sans Mum)! I'm just almost envious as our family doesn't really have any connection at all... until I realised that those feelings of love, respect and trust were forged through hell fire. These types of family dysfunctions can either break relationships or create amazing bonds. Congrats and blessings to OP and her family.
I'll say it again for those in the back, how people handle their toxic and abusive family members is no one else's concern except there's. If you are a friend or even a spouse, you have no damn right to comment, let alone meddle and insert yourself into the situation. You don't. Because no matter how much they tell you about it you did not witness it, YOU WEREN'T THERE, so you can never understand the full history. As a person with an abusive toxic family member I speak from experience. Trying to mend a bridge that is not just broken but burned to ash won't get you any goods points, it will make that person throw you across to the other side of said burned bridge. It shows a lack of compassion, empathy, and just basic respect. You not only can't empathize with the situation you can't have the common decency to respect the person's decision to not have contact with them. That being said screw this woman, I hope op's brother finds someone that can not only emphasize with him but can also respect the trauma that has been inflicted on him and op. Good luck to both of them
"the only news he ever wanted to hear related to her were the ones about her funeral so he could go celebrate." Holy shit that was vicious, still deserved but holy crap you could probably see that nuke of a sentence from orbit.
I'm so pleased Joe will talk with someone, because it sounds very much like he was sailing into a relationship with a woman who was the mirror image of his mother. He talking about the 'little things' he'd let go - and also the Dad said he loved his ex-wife and she'd hid her real side until well into their relationship - Joe's ex sounds exactly like his own mum. Talk to someone Joe, and understand you have a right to your own standards of the behaviour you will put up with from the people in your life. Joe deserves to be listened to and respected - I cannot understand how anyone could hear this entire story and realise what the ex tried to do by betraying her life-partner and inviting a woman who actively abused him to the wedding - and still think being with her was the best step.
The fiancee got what she deserved, and what the Mother from Hell said about the FatherDaughter days was a not too veiled accusation of incest. You do not get into the middle of old family drama when you get engaged, you weren't there.
I feel like I'm missing something here. There's no way someone's so willfully obtuse as to hear about a partner's abusive upbringing, then *invite* the partner's abusive parent to their wedding to ambush them, then be *surprised* and *upset* when the partner LEAVES them??? There's no way someone's THAT stupid, right? Right? *nervous laughter* Right????
"We were not thinking about The Ex" And she was clearly neither thinking about nor listening to her ex-fiance. She humiliated herself. Edit: Oh wow, those updates. Bullet DODGED, looks like the brother was about to marry a woman just like Mommy Dearest.
After hearing the meeting between Sam and his ex bride to be, I really feel like he dodged a bullet and a life of misery with that girl who thinks that the mother is not as bad as he said and can be redeemed when clearly she is a self centered narcissists who used her kids as a weapon against her exhusband/their father. I wife who doesn’t listen to you or believe you is not a keeper.
Holy crap, that egg donor is evil and twisted and OPs brother was about to marry a younger version of her. Dodging a bullet doesn't do it justice. I hope they get their peace and a successful life. They sure deserve it. About that other creature and her husband. People like that seem to always get away with what they do, but I still hope Karma gets them.
It's this line for me -- "...staying with a cheating husband, as her Mom does, is nothing to be proud about... " LETHAL!!! And with that, Sam shut.it.down.
Story #1.. Absolutely 💯 NTA.. That is the 1st sign at the altar that you get that tells you to turn around and run the other way because this will be your future. You're a. Your emotional feelings will never be taken into consideration nor will they ever be validated. Thank God you were there to help him run Your post was absolutely positively positively received you do not need to wonder if people will think of you differently for the way that you responded. Because the way that you responded was your truth and that is what life is truly aboit's truly about it's your truth.
OP, NTA. You did the right thing to help him escape from what would have been a horrible marriage to someone who has no sense, understand or empathy. Her own bad judgement and betrayal of your brother's trust cause this to happen, she created her own drama. I'm glad he saw her for what she is before he got legally bound to her. After more comments: So sorry your mother and her husband are so horrid, and that your brother's bride was not who he thought she was, someone he could trust who would have his back. I'm glad others are coming to realize why what he did was justified. After update: NC is the way to go with such toxic family members, and more and more the X shows why your brother made the right move to run from her, she is nuts. Again, so sorry your mom is so unrelentingly awful. Best wishes to all the members of "the cult', but I think you will be good having each other's backs and escaping from what would have been a very bad extended family.
Ah daddys and daughters! My dad and I got really close the last 20 years of his life. When I'd be driving him to his Drs appt he'd hold my hand and tell me how much he loved me, how proud he was, and thank me for the things I did for him and my mom. Fast forward 10+ yrs, he had a stroke and lost his ability to speak coherently. BUT he still had Drs appts and I still drove. And he still held my hand....jabbering all the way. When the tone of his voice changed I knew exactly what he was saying. I couldn't understand a word but I knew exactly what he was saying.
I'm actually giving this family that are supporting him a standing ovation because too many times crazies like this will support the psychos instead of the victim so bravo. Also as a father idc if my kids are 40 and doesn't matter gender or gay or straight I'm gonna kiss them and tell them how much I love them and embarrass them by being all gushy. With that said if someone said something about me being with my daughter I would probably give them a old school Walker Texas Ranger round house. What a monster....

@@MsAnimefan95 Yep. She sure does. But That's not true. Much like everything else in life, you are not entitled to love. You must give love in order to get it. You get what you give. ❤
Imagine being so paranoid about your spouse being unfaithful that you accuse your own child of trying to be your replacement in your marriage.
There’s no way to navigate that kind of insanity without some serious psychological intervention!
There is no helping her.
She has no soul.
Yes, that's the kind of thing you wish was just something made up for an episode of Law and Order: Special Victims Unit instead of being a sad reality.
That's just wrong, in so many ways. Clearly she was beyond saving. The dad was right to leave.
I used to have a friend who was dating a girl, and he was so jealous that he'd accuse her of cheating with literally anyone. It was bad enough when it was friends like myself, but he accused her of sleeping with her brothers. She wasn't allowed to wear normal clothes (wearing jeans was dressing up), and not allowed to go out in social situations without him.... Thankfully, they are no longer together, but they had 3 children before they split.
Snow White syndrome isn't untreatable... it's just that those women who have will never get treatment for it.
The world needs more "cults" like OP's family (Dad, brothers, and supportive partners).
Definitely
Haha a cult more like a real nuclear family dynamic. Good thing he didn't marry her he would've gotten screwed by divorce court by those crocodile tears
I want to join. LOL.
Sign me up there!
People can't decide for others when they're ready to move on from past trauma. Especially with someone so borderline psychotic.
People also can't decide on how someone else should or should not move past or deal with that trauma. As long as they deal with it in a healthy, productive manner then others should leave it alone. OP, her siblings, her dad have all been to therapy in the past and they all decided that cutting out the toxic mom was the best solution. The ex in her all knowing wisdom can't understand why they would cut her off. Finding out that the ex-fiance own father is a liar and cheat who has betrayed his wife, her mother, and they are still married tells everyone much about why she accepting of OP's mom's behavior. Just because the ex has a miserable family doesn't mean OP's brother should and would join in that misery by letting their mom back into his life.
BORDERLINE?!! No.mom.full blown batshit insane.like even harley quinn,riddler,joker are all saying jesus h.christ
Borderline? Sorry, I see that as full blown psychotic. It's almost at the " here's Johnny! " level of psychosis. But I'm not trying to have a fight with anyone. Just expressing my view of how crazy she is. I'm hoping for the update with her demise. Not because I want to be morbid, but so I can see that they can finally start to heal without the paranoia of " if I do this, will she rear her head? "
More people need to hear this, especially writers. I hate media that has one character bully/guilt trip another into “recovering” from their trauma and get treated like they’re in the right. “You need to get over this horribly traumatic thing that happened to you.” “Wow, I never thought of that! You made me recover from my trauma and I love you for it and I’m totally not going to bury my feelings & trauma out of fear & distrust until I break down!” 🤢 It’s trauma, not playing music a little too loudly or blocking the sidewalk. If someone has cancer or a heart or lung disease, is that character expected to bully/guilt trip them into instantly recovering from that too?
When it comes to family estrangement, you either get it or you don’t. Walking away is the most difficult choice but necessary to survive
TBH i think they handled it about as well as they could. I wouldn't have been so nice about it.
@@johnsmith-kt7ef my dad’s brother in law made a comment to his daughter saying “you don’t want to end up alone like your aunt and uncle” referring to my parents. I could’ve went for the jugular if that was said in front of me.
I would not have been kind either. The ex knew enough about their past and used it against them.
@@Wander85942 The ex just dismissed his feelings out of hand and simply cared not a jot about his feelings
My husband didn't get it for the longest time either. I went as far as doing him the favor and tried to reconciliate over and over again. But all I got out of it was more hurt and pain.
But...
They weren't invited to my wedding and my husband would have never dreamed of setting me up like that. That would be betrail and a hole different story. He never went behind my back. He "only" pushed me to keep contact and visiting and trying over and over to find my place in that viper pit. It doesn't work like that. It just didn't fit his world view that parents could do such cruel things to their own children. He just couldn't warb his head around it and wanted me to have a family on my side.
He never understood that they never were on my side.
(Sorry, english isn't my first language)
@@nela3986 Did he ever get it? I notice yoy didn't say he was your ex, so I hope that means he eventually got it.
She’s projecting her image of what a family should be onto him. She probably thought it would be some beautiful reunion like in the movies, and she would get the credit for her. She played herself.
don't mess with situations you don't know about. especially family situations.
Unfortunately, I think he almost married a woman just like his mother. Bullet dodged.
My husband's family has issues, and some he is NC with. I don't ask questions. I accept it, and change topics.
hothotheat, Which is strange in the first place, because her mother had at least on affair on her father. It seems her family believes that they stick together no matter what they do to hurt each other
@@jennysmith38 No... Her father had an affair and her mother stayed which led her to believe that no matter what your parents do, you have to forgive them and stay together. She was just forcing her own world views on op's family.
The ex fiancee obviously showed she lacked empathy, compassion and respect for the man whom she was going to marry. OP's brother could actually countersue her family for emotional trauma and disregard for the health and safety of those the estranged mother abused.
Exactly. 1st OP's would-be-sister-in-law her brother's trust by inviting their abusive mother to the wedding.
it was summed up in the fathers comment about "you both aren't getting any younger". He was her last real option to get married now that she is probably 30ish... It will be a significant downgrade now.
I was wondering if it’s even possible to sue I have read several left at the altar stories and not once do the parents ever try to sue or at least no mention of it
@@g-saviour6581 - Most likely they can't sue, but if one is ever served papers, you should always take it serious and prep a countersuit and get ready for the court date. The one who doesn't show up to even the most frivilous of lawsuits automatically loses the case.
@@g-saviour6581 It depends on local laws, really. In some places, it is.
1st story: So let me get this straight. Your brother’s ex-shrew betrayed you, you humiliated her, she’s throwing a temper tantrum like a toddler, and you guys just quietly backed away. The REAL question is: HOW could you POSSIBLY be the @$$hole?
Because they defended themselves and took no crap? Too many people think that if you fight back you lose the moral high ground. Joe's not screaming was keeping it classy while everybody else was throwing tantrums. OP's REAL family fought every inch of the way.
She humiliated herself. No matter what happened, it would not have ended well. She would have either been humiliated by being left at the alter or humiliated by OP's mom ruining her son's wedding. She made a bad choice, and now she has to deal with it.
The wronged people are always TA in their tormenter's eyes.
Imagine calling someone's family a cult while you harass them for being a broken family that split due to cheating. Imagine saying all this while your father is apparently either a prior cheater or a present cheater. Imagine having your father with zero self-awareness speak of reconciliation in spite of the obvious enmity.
Sounds like the cult comment was the pot calling the kettle black.
I am loving those sweet swerving moves from Sam though, the energy, the vibe. Just MMMMmmmm...chefs kiss.
Given that she's okay with this, I wouldn't be surprised if she wants to marry Sam so that she can cheat on him.
His ex’s parents want to sue him for the cost of the wedding because he didn’t marry her? Pretty sure they’d get laughed out of court when it comes out exactly why he didn’t marry her.
Ex’s parents: He owes us the money because he didn’t marry our daughter.
Judge: Why didn’t they get married?
Ex’s parents: She invited his mother who abused him and his siblings and who he was no contact with behind his back as a surprise.
I almost *want* them to try suing him so the mother's and ex's dirty laundry can get thoroughly aired in public.
@@brigidtheirish oh my god I would pay to see that and bring popcorn.

It's a good thing his ex showed her true colours by inviting his mother to the wedding or he would have married a woman like the one that married dear ole dad.
AMEN. Not just "bullet dodged", more like MOAB dodged "mother of all bombs"…
Literally smh. I hate when ppl undermine the experience of others when THEY WERENT THERE to experience it themselves. It’s foolish and entitled behavior. And I find ppl like that to be sus, bc they may be secretly that person and are capping for them so further excuse their behavior.
Op's the only cult I'd willingly want to join. Massive tactical nuke dodged.
Same here. The BEST cult.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍👍
Leaky nuclear reactor
Tactical? Nah... definitely a strategic nuke. City killer 50MT nuke.
She knows better than her husband who lived with the woman. She knows better than the father. She knows better than two other siblings who also went no contact. She knows better than a judge to awarded dad custody. She even had her fiance call her before the wedding, go nuts on her, and hang up on her. Yet, she is surprised he doesn't show up.
More like Death Star superlaser blast dodged!
Waffles & Toast, me too, that would be the sort of cult most people would want to join
1st OP is the best sibling ever. He saved his brother from marrying someone just as toxic as the person that gave birth to him....because she isn't a mother
That relationship is a true illustration of how childhood trauma can sneak in and trip you up. I'm sure Sam always swore he'd never get into a relationship with a woman like his mom. But- surprise! 😱 Stuff in your subconscious remains in the corners. Therapy is a great idea for the whole "cult" so they can go forward more confident that they can recognize and head off trouble in the future.
That woman actually called her daughter a whore and her husband a pedophile, accusing them of having a sexual relationship!
Yeah. Pretty sure OP is a girl btw.
Man was this a bullet dodged. Op's brother's ex probably still doesn't see that she did anything wrong. This wasn't her trying to 'fix' his relationship with his mom, she was flexing her control.
I got the feeling there was A LOT wrong with her and her family. They are the sort of people who need to look perfekt and happy for others to see even if they are miserable and nasty.
You don't reattach a rotten/burned limb.
I get the feeling that Sam was the one who got the worse treatment of all the siblings so his siblings are very protective of him. Also it would explain why he fell for that troll, because abused people tend to fall into abuse cycles. It is so, so lucky that his sister was there early.
@@Midorikonokami Not really. At least he was allowed a relationship with his own father, without being called a whore for it.
"Mother dear" called OP a whore and her father a pedophile, because they wanted time together, just like the brothers had with Father.
"Mother dear" was actually jealous of her own daughter, and almost certainly OP got the brunt of the abuse.
But Sam is a beloved sibling, and they all rallied round him. Probably they would have done the same for either of the others, too. Because without her, they had a functional, happy family.
Bullet dodged? How about avoiding a Nuclear Bomb?
Yikes, that ex is a piece of work. After the update, I'd say the ex is the mother incarnated.
No doubt about it, and so is the mother; the ex and 1st OP's mother are both parasites feeding on healthy hosts.
Most definitely. Also the reason they got along so well.
@@nela3986 Agreed.
A newer update shows that you are 100% right. She faked a pregnancy and lied to everyone about it and even said Sam wanted an abortion. She then threatened to harm herself if she couldn’t be with Sam.
Aye, they deserve each other. Shrew and Shrew, Inc.
No idea how the ex bride's brain is wired, thinking that what she did was a good idea. OP's family had a last moment lucky escape. Anyhow, congratulations to Lost Genre for having advanced from Peppa Pig to My Little Pony with your daughter. I smiled big when hearing that part.

Could you imagine being so self centered that you would invite your SO's abuser to their wedding without even telling them? What a piece of work the ex is, to actually believe she knew better than him about his own abuse. I would go to church and thank God I didn't end up marrying that monster!
thank an imaginary being, yeah, that is gonna help not,
where was that omnipotent being while all the hurt was going on ?
I see it so often in these stories. People have lived in situations where they basically lived a carefree life. They just can't fathom why somebody would go no contact with family.
Omg that update was absolutely amazing!
Joe saying he only wanted to hear news of the mom's funeral was just EPIC. Such a badass!
I *100%* agree with EVERYTHING this OP and her brothers did, and I applaud them for standing up to their HATEFUL mother and _especially_ for not allowing his ex to FORCE him into speaking to his TOXIC mother. Ex thought she could force him into a public reunion with mom and that he would just "go along" with it since the wedding and everything was already paid for, but I'm so, _SO_ glad he shut that down. Unfortunately, people who had GOOD childhoods with supportive, LOVING parents can never and _will_ *NEVER* truly understand what those of us with TOXIC, ABUSIVE, NARCISSISTIC parents went through. Sometimes people will _at the least_ try to be sympathetic, but mostly what I've gotten have been disapproving looks telling me I was "ungrateful" and "obviously misunderstanding" my mother's intentions, and blah, blah, blah.
Brother's awful ex learned a lesson. She wanted to be seen as some heroic guru who bridged the gap between mother and son and healed their troubled relationship, so she could go on social media and brag to family and friends about how "great" she [ex] is and how her new husband is "so lucky" to have married her. 🙄 Ex is a *NARCISSIST* and brother dodged a *HUGE* bullet, because she sounds like she would have eventually morphed into what his mother was. Honestly ex was already halfway there.
This story makes my blood boil. Just because you have an happy upbringing it doesn't mean the rest of the world had the perfect childhood you had. It's so chilling that the fiancee did this kind of thing to OP brother, it shows that she is selfish to the core, specially as the relationship they have it seems to be an indication that OP brother trusted this woman enough to be willing to share his deepest fears and a life with her. This is one of the worst types of betrayal
Story 1: NTA, and what a great family OP has (Dad’s side, obvs!) It’s awesome the way they all rallied around Sam.
I agree.👍
I thought the mom's family was awesome too. 10/10 would marry into it.
First story: when 'Joe' said that about the mom's funeral, I about died. That was amazing!
I lol'd so famn hard when I read that. Then I'd say, "Only worthless people cry over spoiled brats."
Which she totally deserved considering she went to actually celebrate the Dad's wife dying and called her a whore to her kids' faces. Celebrating her own death is something they're totally entitled to do.
Honestly, everyone on OPs side handled the situation so well. Ex played a stupid game because she thought she knew better and was rightly humiliated for her stupidity.
Throw the whole woman away with the batshit biomom as well.
Edit: please update if op ever posts again
Edit: ignore the last edit lol
Ex-fiance sounds like a mini mum. He almost married someone exactly like his Mum.
When the HB called to tell them they were worthless, that should have galvanized the “not the a-hole” decision. That bride is a piece of work.
This is not the first story where I have seen family members try to force estranged family members back together at a wedding. It always ends very poorly. This bride tried to give her groom a huge s*** test and lost spectacularly. Glad to see it
I always LOVE "floozies"! Would OP's and Joe's actions also be an example of "bros before floozies"?
Another term for 304s
Story 1: NTA. You know, OP's brother almost married someone just like his Mom. OP saved him.
People who can’t comprehend that some parents should never be parents are wild to me. Like, just because you had a good mother doesn’t mean everyone else did. How up her own butt do you have to be to not understand that?
The brother did not dodge a bullit...... He dodge an artillery barrage!
Ex-Fiancee just didn't get it, but not everyone has a perfect happy family. Not everyone needs every member of their family. Just because they are blood, doesn't mean you HAVE to keep them around. Forcing reconciliation is a one way trip to getting booted out of a person's life and never let back in. I had great parents, but horrible aunts and uncles. Sometimes they still try to get in touch, but they get blocked and ignored when they do, and there are good reasons I keep them away. You'd think that as vehemently as her SO insisted there would be no reconciliation, she'd understand that inviting the mother to the wedding would end in a shit show. And the mother being told by her son that the only news he wanted about her was of her funeral so he could go celebrate? Brutal and well deserved. I love when a terrible person gets their own actions handed back to them and feel how much it stings. I bet she cried all the harder knowing he remembered her actions, and would do the same to her.
From how it sounds, Ex-fiancee doesn't have the "perfect happy family" either. Sounds like the father cheats and the mother just allows it. Plus it also sounds like the father does some other stuff that they don't want getting out.
@@stantona07 It's all about the appearances.
seems ops brother got lucky he didnt make the mistake his dad did.
Yeah, it was lucky that his ex-bride was such a dumb-a. If she hadn't brought his mom and family to the wedding, she would have sprung them on him later when he was ensnared. 👿 Bullet dodged!
Joe's comment about celebrating their mums funeral, was THE punchline for the entire story...
Imo, it was that _plus_ the ex saying “I’m keeping the engagement ring” and the brother’s *only* response the whole business transaction was “No one asked for it.” You know she wanted there to be a fight over it. 🤣
"we weren't thinking of her" BRO SHE WASN'T THINKING OF YOU EITHER NTA
NTA: well done on being a great sibling and saving him from a life with another toxic and nasty control freak. And why do people try to force the victims of toxic and abusive parents to reconcile with them? Does it make them feel that they're better than everyone else or something?
The answer the first question is usually: "bEcaUsE
fAmiLY iS ThE mOsT ImPoRtaNt tHinG"
Which is the most *STUPID* thing I've ever heard especially in this context.
Also I believe people think it's wrong when a child doesn't talk to their parents even when it's better for the child's mental health to go LC/NC when they get away.

@@Mythical_Paws You can't use the fact you're family as an excuse to be a horrible person. Nor can you convince someone to reconcile with a toxic person, even if they're family.

On mark narations, there was a further update. She tried to claim she was pregnant to get him back, but that fell through when he insisted they go to the doctors to prove it. I think she's desperate because she can't get anyone to marry her. A sentiment her parents share from the way they tried to get ops brother to still marry her despite everything.
Story 1 OP is NTA. Her brother's ex is the AH, it was not her place to invite his mother behind his back. She had been told why he was no contact and should have respected him.
It makes me happy when family rallies around for something good
Since you labeled it like this, Story 1: NTA, you didn't think about her, what about her thinking about her fiancé. She betrayed ever bit of their relationship, and he was open to how bad it was with his mom. Heck if they were to go to court, then OP's brother would just have to show how the mother intentionally took the kids out to prevent them from going to the step-mom's funeral.
He had one reasonable boundary, and the fiancé ignored that for her own 'white knight' complex. She wanted to be the hero, instead of being the supporter she was supposed to be. And based on the update, the ex was just as crazy, and I think her family is the real cult. I mean they believed family trumped everything, and the members beliefs on how the world works in seriously warped.
Man what a good family i'm so glad they all stuck together and had each others backs.
It's good that his brothers were there for each other
Okay, wow. OP you and your siblings rock! You take care of each other, and don't let anyone put you down for being in your "cult". Not all women are meant to be mothers just as not all men are meant to be fathers. OP's mother is nothing but a genetic donor nothing more. I'm glad to hear you're going for counseling, we all need it sometimes. Take care of yourselves and each other, from an only child who wishes she had siblings like you.
I can't imagine how stupid his ex is. "Imma surprise my husband with the mother he doesn't want to invite to his wedding" dafuq.
While telling him he HAS to make up with his mother because he has to learn to value them, while the ex made it clear how much she didn't value her fiance's feelings or respect his suffering in the slightest.
I thought the line about celebrating his egg donor's death (when it happens) was appropriate since mom actually did celebrate the stepmom's death. You reap what you sow.
Good catch!! And then OP and her brothers should shame the mourners for crying over a wretched person.
Lost Genre… you are a gem: “recently upgraded from pepper pig and paw patrol to my little pony”🥺 reminds me of my father-daughter outings😆
I want a great sister like YOU! You are a gem, for having your brothers back!!!
OMG this was a crazy story. The bride deserved what she got. The mother is awful. I'd be no contact too. My step mom was jealous of my relationship with my dad but to have yer own mom jealous of you with your dad, her husband is disgusting and warped. I'm glad Sam got away.❤
Hmm not yet because Mommy Dearest and her buddy, are still alive.
it's not "mothers" that Sam doesn't value, it's THAT mother.
Joe is my hero. You all need a Joe in your life who can stand up for you in a church full of disappointed people who will never understand what dodging a bullet looks like.
Edit: Holy cow! I commented prematurely! Joe's reply to his mom puts him on a whole new level of savage! I love it!
No wonder the ex SIL didn’t see a problem inviting the abusive crazy mom. she’s just as crazy as she is!
They probably got along and connected with how they create drama
3:39 she *_deserved_* to be humiliated, IMHO. She just walked over her fiancé's boundaries like it was nothing without any deep understanding of the situation and thought she could get away with it. Who knows what other boundaries she'd overstep if they eventually got married.
What other boundaries? Probably all of them as long as there was a pretty picture, however false, to show to the public.
The evil ex saw herself in his mother. They are alike and he avoided marrying his mother version 2.0. He was so lucky.
I loved this. Joe just made my day. Love him and the rest of the fam.
100% if my SO pulled the kind of thing that brother's fiance did and invited either of my parents (completely NC with most of my family because of their abuse and unwillingness to change or acknowledge their behavior), I'd ghost them so fast and so hard, they'd be using a oueji board to trying and contact me.
I'm so down for a one story vid. Thanks LG
hearing about the EX-mother trying to sweet talk the brother and his comment deadass made me happier than anything.
I heard the beginning of this story and I immediately checked out my notifications for LG's channel. Was definitely not disappointed.
Another awesome presentation LG. You're a Titan!
Glad you enjoyed it United!
I "love" how she went on about how the whole family hates "mothers," but just completely ignores how much they all love their late step-mother.
She's such an idiot. It's a good thing Sam is well rid of her. I feel sorry for whoever she does wind up marrying, because she IS an abuser, and her true colors are showing. Just imagine life with her, when she thinks she's "safe" to do what she really wants to do to him, and the rest of you, too!
Likely in her "suger" mind. Stepmom's "aren't people" so OP and brother's hatred to egg donor for how she acted towards their deceased stepmom isn't warranted (Remember she's "projecting" cause she KNOWS Egg Donor and her share ALOT in common!)
Wow even after all the stories they told the ex she STILL thought she could just invite OP's mother with no repercussions. Then to act like a victim.? She sounds just like the mother.
I’m sorry that Sam and everyone else went through all that trouble but good for standing up to her.
as a kid, my parents both tried their best to always have one on one time with my two siblings and i, and they are some of my favourite memories 😊 dad and i used to go camping together or even just go out to the hardware store together! even as an adult we often go out to a restaurant together or go day camping just the two of us!! its super important to have that one on one time with your kids, makes them know they are loved and valued as human beings!! my dad makes a point of telling us he loves us, no matter what.
Really loved this one! Guessing it's from a Hispanic country, but likely only because it's the only other culture I've spent enough time with.
You have a great reading voice, a smooth delivery, and excellent fluency. Love the accent, too. Thank you for the work you put into your channel.
Daniella is Spanish or Italian.
I love this story, finally someone with a spine and brain.
It's beautiful seeing the strength of bond of the siblings. I couldn't believe (but not really shocked) the ex-fiancee tried doubling down so hard. It's clear though she'd been talking to that manipulative bitch for awhile though...
This is the reason why I think everyone who's getting married should have someone ready to drive the getaway car. Ya never truely know what/who will get pulled out of the woodwork by someone who thinks they know better.
"Getaway car" LOL
My getaway car would be a Kenworth W900 or a Peterbilt 379EXHD with a moose guard on the front that could be used as a interceptor bar.
This is perfect example of someone needs to mind their own business when someone tell you don’t get involved with something that they don’t want to deal with
15:53 "The only news he ever wanted to hear related to her were the ones about her funeral so he could go celebrate"
Insert 'Damn' memes or the roar of the people memes
I watched this story on a different channel, and they didn’t add the second update, only mentioned that the brother was meeting with the ex-fiancé. I instantly came here knowing you would have something extra! Thanks for the video😁
This is the family!!!
Glad that this lad got away on time.
Sam was lucky not end up like his dad & man savage of Joe to say that they'll see their mom at her funeral I don't blame them man their mother is horrible I would do the same thing.
What an incredible family unit (sans Mum)! I'm just almost envious as our family doesn't really have any connection at all... until I realised that those feelings of love, respect and trust were forged through hell fire. These types of family dysfunctions can either break relationships or create amazing bonds. Congrats and blessings to OP and her family.
I'll say it again for those in the back, how people handle their toxic and abusive family members is no one else's concern except there's. If you are a friend or even a spouse, you have no damn right to comment, let alone meddle and insert yourself into the situation. You don't. Because no matter how much they tell you about it you did not witness it, YOU WEREN'T THERE, so you can never understand the full history. As a person with an abusive toxic family member I speak from experience. Trying to mend a bridge that is not just broken but burned to ash won't get you any goods points, it will make that person throw you across to the other side of said burned bridge. It shows a lack of compassion, empathy, and just basic respect. You not only can't empathize with the situation you can't have the common decency to respect the person's decision to not have contact with them. That being said screw this woman, I hope op's brother finds someone that can not only emphasize with him but can also respect the trauma that has been inflicted on him and op. Good luck to both of them
"the only news he ever wanted to hear related to her were the ones about her funeral so he could go celebrate." Holy shit that was vicious, still deserved but holy crap you could probably see that nuke of a sentence from orbit.
I'm so pleased Joe will talk with someone, because it sounds very much like he was sailing into a relationship with a woman who was the mirror image of his mother. He talking about the 'little things' he'd let go - and also the Dad said he loved his ex-wife and she'd hid her real side until well into their relationship - Joe's ex sounds exactly like his own mum. Talk to someone Joe, and understand you have a right to your own standards of the behaviour you will put up with from the people in your life. Joe deserves to be listened to and respected - I cannot understand how anyone could hear this entire story and realise what the ex tried to do by betraying her life-partner and inviting a woman who actively abused him to the wedding - and still think being with her was the best step.
The fiancee got what she deserved, and what the Mother from Hell said about the FatherDaughter days was a not too veiled accusation of incest. You do not get into the middle of old family drama when you get engaged, you weren't there.
I feel like I'm missing something here. There's no way someone's so willfully obtuse as to hear about a partner's abusive upbringing, then *invite* the partner's abusive parent to their wedding to ambush them, then be *surprised* and *upset* when the partner LEAVES them??? There's no way someone's THAT stupid, right? Right? *nervous laughter* Right????
"We were not thinking about The Ex" And she was clearly neither thinking about nor listening to her ex-fiance. She humiliated herself.
Edit: Oh wow, those updates. Bullet DODGED, looks like the brother was about to marry a woman just like Mommy Dearest.
Sounds like dad raised you all. Just right good luck too all of you including dad. !
I appreciate the time you take to search and put this stories up. As I prefer the stories with updates.
She thought threatening to burn all his stuff was gonna win him over?
Not only do I like your videos, I also like your reactions to each of the stories. You Rock LG!!! I also LOVE this story. Great Reading!!!
God that was a nuke dodge

After hearing the meeting between Sam and his ex bride to be, I really feel like he dodged a bullet and a life of misery with that girl who thinks that the mother is not as bad as he said and can be redeemed when clearly she is a self centered narcissists who used her kids as a weapon against her exhusband/their father. I wife who doesn’t listen to you or believe you is not a keeper.
Thanks for the stories LG. We appreciate your time and work.
I had a mother exactly like the one in this story, she’s dead now and it might be a terrible thing to say I’ve never missed her.
Holy crap, that egg donor is evil and twisted and OPs brother was about to marry a younger version of her. Dodging a bullet doesn't do it justice. I hope they get their peace and a successful life. They sure deserve it.
About that other creature and her husband. People like that seem to always get away with what they do, but I still hope Karma gets them.
This guy dodged a big one. The lack of respect form the ex and family is astounding. Like they wanted a house pet.
It's this line for me -- "...staying with a cheating husband, as her Mom does, is nothing to be proud about... " LETHAL!!! And with that, Sam shut.it.down.
Story #1.. Absolutely 💯 NTA.. That is the 1st sign at the altar that you get that tells you to turn around and run the other way because this will be your future. You're a. Your emotional feelings will never be taken into consideration nor will they ever be validated. Thank God you were there to help him run
Your post was absolutely positively positively received you do not need to wonder if people will think of you differently for the way that you responded. Because the way that you responded was your truth and that is what life is truly aboit's truly about it's your truth.
The way Lost Genre says floozi, OMD I can't even.
Thanks so much LG. You truly are the bomb. A ROCK. Peppa pig omg . love you guy. Many blessings to you and yours. Stay safe please. Peace
You too Louella!!!
OP, NTA. You did the right thing to help him escape from what would have been a horrible marriage to someone who has no sense, understand or empathy. Her own bad judgement and betrayal of your brother's trust cause this to happen, she created her own drama. I'm glad he saw her for what she is before he got legally bound to her.
After more comments: So sorry your mother and her husband are so horrid, and that your brother's bride was not who he thought she was, someone he could trust who would have his back. I'm glad others are coming to realize why what he did was justified.
After update: NC is the way to go with such toxic family members, and more and more the X shows why your brother made the right move to run from her, she is nuts. Again, so sorry your mom is so unrelentingly awful. Best wishes to all the members of "the cult', but I think you will be good having each other's backs and escaping from what would have been a very bad extended family.
Ah daddys and daughters! My dad and I got really close the last 20 years of his life. When I'd be driving him to his Drs appt he'd hold my hand and tell me how much he loved me, how proud he was, and thank me for the things I did for him and my mom. Fast forward 10+ yrs, he had a stroke and lost his ability to speak coherently. BUT he still had Drs appts and I still drove. And he still held my hand....jabbering all the way. When the tone of his voice changed I knew exactly what he was saying. I couldn't understand a word but I knew exactly what he was saying.
OP definitely did the right thing! Great video.
I'm actually giving this family that are supporting him a standing ovation because too many times crazies like this will support the psychos instead of the victim so bravo. Also as a father idc if my kids are 40 and doesn't matter gender or gay or straight I'm gonna kiss them and tell them how much I love them and embarrass them by being all gushy. With that said if someone said something about me being with my daughter I would probably give them a old school Walker Texas Ranger round house. What a monster....
I just know she's going to regret abandoning and betraying a family so loyal.
