Seriously, seeing healthy family dynamics when you came from an abusive one is heartbreaking. It's damn near devastating. Knowing - let alone seeing firsthand - what you were supposed to have, but never received, really does a number on you.
I’ve been thinking a lot about this lately. I’m so jealous of my friends who have healthy, loving, supportive families and had normal, happy childhoods. I wish I did too and I wonder what my life could have been like if I did. I don’t regret cutting my abusive parents out of my life but it’s hard to be alone sometimes and I think a part of me will always long for the parents I wish they were.
@@annie_xoI understand this completely. I’m mostly estranged from my family since most of them live in Mexico & im in Texas. I haven’t met them ever so I feel very disconnected. My family has been dealing with a lot of abuse lately. I’m only here because I want to protect my younger brother from it. Honestly, I wish I had support and family relationships. I especially feel like I missed out on having grandparents
I know that feeling 😢 I try to concentrate on the now and the future, take comfort in friends, they are the family we choose. Sending you love and strength ❤
Do what I do... Eat some Ben and Jerry's, tickle your pickle, and listen to stories about people that had horrific encounters to make yourself realize your life ain't so bad.
The guy with Angel - dude has some serious issues. He went off because she wouldn't sleep with him then attacked her brother? Wtf. He needs to be in jail and hopefully get some mandated anger management counseling.
I have become an insomniac last couple of yrs. so I listen to you while I stare at the ceiling fan every night. So I thank you for all your hard work putting these uploads together. I appreciate you Joel. Peace.
Watching the ceiling fan 😂 I remember those days and still have some actually! Not fun AT ALL! But let me tell you ppl like Joel have been teaching me how to sleep again. It's been a long ,very long process but it's possible with all the right tools. I wish u the best❤
I was dealing with insomnia also and what I found helped me a lot is absolutely cut off all sugar or caffeine after 3:00 in the afternoon. Magnesium glycinate at bedtime. And getting at least 30 hours of direct sunlight no sunglasses each day as much as possible anyway. Also you've got to put this phone down because the screen and the light from the screen is terrible for our circadian rhythm. So like 7:00 or so just let it go, Read a book. We also turned off Wi-Fi. Made our room very dark and very cool. I run a box fan also and all this has helped me overcome years of insomnia and the damage it does
"The voice," that's what you are to me. It's the only way I fall asleep. Super bad insomnia my whole life. So glad I found " Let's Read!!! Thank You For What You Do. Bless You For Helping So Many Of us out.
The thing that I found ominous about this story,after he finds out she has got married and expecting a child , he states that he has a family now , and sounded a little threatening . Why did he even say that ? She may be watching this?
It made me so angry. She ruins his life until she happens to find someone else. Perhaps I am not a decent human being for feeling this, but in my opinion, she is NOT entitled to that happiness. At the very least she should have had the decency to tell her victim that she was moving on and he was rid of her now, and apologize. A story like this would only have a happy end to me if the crazy ex would have been arrested and put in prison or a mental institution, or if she would have been beaten to a pulp and scared into never acting that way again.
The 1:32:18 story was written by a psychopath… screaming at a woman for not having sex with you and then assaulting her brother while repeatedly using the ‘I just lost control’ excuse….😮
In terms of the roach story I've had to deal with something similar, definitely not nearly as bad!! But a few years ago I woke up with my ear hurting, I'm prone to ear infections so I thought I may have gotten another one. I sort of shook my head a little bit and found that it hurt, I thought maybe my ear was leaking (gross I know but it gets worse). I got up and ran to the bathroom, shaking my head more only to feel something plop onto my hand. I look down and quickly drop a silverfish into my sink. Worst day of my life. I sleep with earplugs now.
Ahhhh this is my fear. I’m wearing ear plugs to bed from now on. I was in bed once and felt a little itchy tingling sensation on the top of my head. I ignored it at first but it persisted so I slapped my head and sat up. A dead mashed silverfish fell onto my pillow
I’ve heard the 1st story before. But it reminds me of a story that I read earlier today. It was the woman who had a 🪱 in her brain and they had to surgically remove it. Apparently this is the first case of this ever happening and it shocked everyone in the operating room. The lady is fine and is recovering well and as for the worm it was apparently quite happy to be out or at least that’s how the surgeon put it.
@@BrokenDollyTV I'm the same way. When I was in 7th grade, I was waiting for the school bus at the corner. It had just rained and there were worms all over. The kid across the street picked up a bunch of worms and threw them down the front of my shirt!! I was screaming, freaking out and undressing as I was running home. I got home and showered and went to school late. Ever since then I'm more freaked out about worms!! I like snakes, don't mind bugs, but just can't deal with worms.
Best time of night is a new video from you… especially an approximately 3 hour vid which saves me looking through the few videos of yours i haven’t watched. Love u dude
JOEL gives so much don’t take it lightly my friend Joel is human just like me and you he has his good and bad days remember he hates the people that use him to fall asleep too he thinks there so disrespectful even though he won’t admit it ❤
The guy in the "Angel" story is creepy. After you pressured a girl for sex you shout at her until she cries. After you call her parents house several times you show up uninvited and beat up her brother! At least he supposedly turned himself in. He'd be lucky if he didn't catch a charge.
That's what I was thinking. No one owes anyone sex. It doesn't matter how long you've been dating. If they want to wait for marriage and that's not for you then suck it up or move along. Convincing over time and not taking what someone says to heart that they don't want to is coercion.
1:27:05 i feel so bad for angel and her family man. i've had a 17 year old guy groom me when i was 13 and constantly tried to get me to have sex with him (i obviously refused since i was fucking 13). my first bf (i was 17 and he was 18) also did the same thing. i can't imagine what it's like for the poor girl, having someone take out their anger on her just because of intimacy and proceeding to beat up her brother who was only trying to protect her. she was probably simply not ready for it, for religious reasons, asexuality, low libido/sex drive, trauma, etc. i hope she finds someone who wants her for her and not for their own sexual desires.
My bedtime stories are usually from Joel! An awesome narrator who I take a lot inspiration from! Any new or upcoming narrators should look up to this channel as I know I do! Wishing you even greater success on this channel and in life Joel!
Lmao story 1 brought back some memories. I was at boy scout summer camp for my first year around age 12-13. I woke up one morning and felt my right side nostril was clogged up. I thought it was just because of the drastically cold weather at night so I started blowing my nose harder and harder and harder. Finally felt something dislodge and looked down at the tissue. A wolf spider about the size of a dollar coin was all wrapped up in the tissue. I actually laughed and walked around the camp to show everyone. I guess some of us handle situations a little differently. Granted, I didn't have parts of the spider stuck in my nose for 2 weeks.
@markshillaw3536 oh stop trolling 😂 His audience has been listening and falling asleep since he started his chan. We all say that with respect! You can't put a price tag on helping thousands of people every night! The stories are great too. Most of them are heard eventually during a replay!
Been listening your stories for long time..and that first story I heard like 50 times. Not saying I don’t mind but I do remember hearing this one few times.
Just spent a 14 hour day cleaning up literal Rich Person Poop in the Hamptons. They had a huge party on Saturday and the waste line got clogged. It backed up into the house and let me tell you, whatever those people eat…. but I t was the worst smelling thing I smelt ever, I would rather smell a dead body that was in a room for a week with the heat on 85 degrees ( true story - found that before ). After all that drama this is a great welcome home, Joel reading true horror stories. Ahhh…
I’d heard this story before somewhere, guy admits to screaming at her for denying sex, and starts harassing her family to see her to the point where he shows up at their door and beats the brother viciously out the front of the family home and wants people to see things from his side? Bruh lmao, I’ll admit though if this is a true story it’s a captivating listen and stands out amongst others for controversial reasons. 1:27:00 time stamp for anyone curious.
I’ve listened to many of your videos but this one man this one is on another level of wtf story after wtf story. Keep up this awesome content! When I saw the cover photo I just knew this one was going an epic one.
Love these stories been watching for 2 years and I'm still finding great old videos to fall asleep and just listen to keep it up bro love your voice to best one I heard on any platform
This was amazing!!! I love and enjoyed this so much!!! Thank you Joel for all you do!!! You are da man and I appreciate you greatly 💙💙💙 May God always bless you, keep you healthy and safe ❤️🙏❤️ Much love and hugs from South Carolina ❤️ xx
The first story is the SCARIEST thing I've ever heard on this podcast. As soon as they said there was something on their ear I was jumping out of bed trying to unlock my phone and skip forward. I only got to cotton swabs, but I know. I know. I cannot unknow now. Nightmare fuel.
Story number 1 is EXACTLY why I sleep with headphones in every night, it's always been an irrational fear of mine bugs going into my ears while im asleep 🤢
My mom had a moth fly into her ear one night and ever since then, I’ve slept with another pillow covering my ear because that’s my literal worst nightmare
I had a half inch june bug in my ear and it was the worst pain ive ever felt. The feeling of those feelers scratching at my ear drums will haunt me forever. I killed it with prroxide. Luckily it all came out at once.
As soon as I heard cockroach and then ear... I had to move to the next story. I knew someone that had this happen to them. I'm terribly mortified of those things 😮😮😮
My Lord… That story about the man who was tricked by his girlfriend, that he had a daughter, only to find out that it was all a lie, after being left at the altar by her… My heart just broke for him
I recently had something in my ear canal recently but it was the silicone tip of an earbud. Never fall asleep with those in your ears because that was actually painful. The suction it created deep within my ear almost made me go crazy and I balled like a baby. I almost passed out and/or puked due to shock. My boyfriend was my hero by carefully pulling it out with tweezers. I didn't want to go to the hospital cuz I couldn't wait for a doctor to remove it, but I would've had no choice if my bf wasn't able. It sucked so bad and I still cried after it was out and cuddled up to my bf lol it is pathetic but seriously... I won't sleep with earbuds in my ears ever again.
Everyones talking about the first story.. im highly concerned for the second one! Nothing i hate more then people stealing and hurting people, those poor girls I hope the second one didnt get killed when they forced her to find the stash.
I’m the first story after hearing about the roaches in the room as soon as he said there was something wrong with his ear immediately I was like I know where this is going and unfortunately it went exactly where I thought it was going. But 2 things 1 how the hell did the doctor in Greece not see the rest of it cause it seemed like there was quite a bit of it left and when he saw what he got out he didn’t realize how much was missing. After seeing the other doctor back home I would have told them idc if u have to put me under and do surgery to open up my ear canal I want u to make 1000% sure u got every last bit of it out. And 2 I wouldn’t be asking that air bnb for my money back I would be suing them into oblivion and writing as many reviews as possible so that u can’t even book a room at that place without seeing my story of how I got a roach in my ear while staying there
Thanks for reminding me of my own bug in the ear incident. Ugh! 😢 I am surprised that no sounds is mentioned. Heck it was loud! I am sleeping with earplugs ever since.
Damn been listening to Joel for years but for the first time ever I had to take my ear buds out and periodically check if the first story was finished it made me so uncomfortable and creeped me out.
Wow. This reminds me of when I was travelling in Australia. My boyfriend and I were staying in this seedy pub in Queensland. We had eaten Chinese food and left the empty plastic containers on our bedside tables. Like you I heard scratching next to my bed. I opened the light and there was this massive roach the size of a bird using it's pincers to scrape the food. To say that I was in shock and horror was an understatement. I couldn't kill this thing because of the size. So I flung the container out the window. Eeeeee.... But this ear story is next level. Omg. Horrific 😢
Good on Angel for not giving in to pressure. That guy took zero responsibility for his own emotions.
How am I supposed to fall asleep to someone getting cockroaches in their ear?! I had a full on panic attack listening to that 😂
I hope you feel better now
@@cute_peanut3026 you’re sweet. I’m great :) thank you.
FR i started freaking out once they mentioned a cold feeling in the ear 💀i'm sleeping with my ears covered from now on
Exactly! I totally fast fowarded thru that one. I CANNOT listen to anything in regards to bugs! Horrifying indeed.
SAME LOL
First story ends at 15:30 for anyone trying to skip ahead
OMG thank you SO much, honestly. I felt like it was going on for forever 😂
You are a gem❤
I. Hate. Bugs 🤢
Thank you for saving me😆✌
Thanks! 😊
Love falling asleep to other people's traumatic experiences lol
Great job Joel as usual
Lmaoooo

I feel that on a personal level. My son’s uni had a shooting on campus yesterday and now I feel like I could share a story, not just listen. 😭
The guy with Angel - dude has some serious issues. He went off because she wouldn't sleep with him then attacked her brother? Wtf. He needs to be in jail and hopefully get some mandated anger management counseling.
Came here to say this
Seriously, I was just thinking 'what a gross psycho' that whole story, he sounds like an incel 🤢
I have become an insomniac last couple of yrs. so I listen to you while I stare at the ceiling fan every night. So I thank you for all your hard work putting these uploads together. I appreciate you Joel. Peace.
When you go to bed, blank your mind. Read, Stop Thinking, Start Living. Also, ensure you exercise for an hour a day. Ensure you go to bed tired.

The story about the guy faking his own death was so sad. I wouldn’t even wish something like that on my worst enemy.
The thing that I found ominous about this story,after he finds out she
has got married and expecting a child , he states that he has a family now , and sounded a little threatening . Why did he even say that ? She may be watching this?
Because she isn’t the type of person to stop, anything could set her off again and he wants to protect his family from her craziness.
@@amyclark997 That’s the point I am making ! You don’t give people like that anything they can hurt you with , especially a child..
@@carolball5764 so, he shouldn’t have developed a happy life just in case?
It made me so angry. She ruins his life until she happens to find someone else. Perhaps I am not a decent human being for feeling this, but in my opinion, she is NOT entitled to that happiness. At the very least she should have had the decency to tell her victim that she was moving on and he was rid of her now, and apologize.

Yes me too 😢🙏❤

it's a rainy monday evening and i'm starting up my kids's nighttime routine! love listening to your narrations while doing so!
The 1:32:18 story was written by a psychopath… screaming at a woman for not having sex with you and then assaulting her brother while repeatedly using the ‘I just lost control’ excuse….😮
And he says "I'm almost sure Angel isn't interested in my anymore". Almost sure?
Gosh... the first story had me shuddering with every word
I am listening now, getting ready for bed. So, this is what I’m falling asleep too. Let’s read’s voice is calming.

Yeah, that guy sounded like a real pos.
True, he sounded very selfish. Hopefully he grows up

I had a half inch june bug in my ear and it was the worst pain ive ever felt. The feeling of those feelers scratching at my ear drums will haunt me forever. I killed it with prroxide. Luckily it all came out at once.
oh damn the first story had me wide awake 😭😭
Story #1 Take all hospital paperwork and sue the sh** out of the Air BNB.
Exactly what I said!
This is definitely one of your best Joel. ❤
I love the videos like this that has the ominous music in the background.
As soon as I heard cockroach and then ear... I had to move to the next story. I knew someone that had this happen to them. I'm terribly mortified of those things 😮😮😮
I've never been this early! I'll be back in 8 hours when I need some help sleeping for sure.
This is one of the best birthday gifts I got today ❤
Yay! Imma sleep like a baby tonight
This was one of my favs by far! A ton of new goodies!! 😂
Heading to bed now! Can’t wait to listen🩷🧡💛💚🩵💜
Over 2 hours I've been blessed today
the roach one was definitely a horror story omg
I hope they had a law suit for that! Disgusting
Prepping for landfall on the gulf. Thanks for the much needed distraction. Awesome job as usual Joel!! ❤
Best of luck and I'll say a prayer for you and yours.
My Lord… That story about the man who was tricked by his girlfriend, that he had a daughter, only to find out that it was all a lie, after being left at the altar by her… My heart just broke for him
I recently had something in my ear canal recently but it was the silicone tip of an earbud. Never fall asleep with those in your ears because that was actually painful. The suction it created deep within my ear almost made me go crazy and I balled like a baby. I almost passed out and/or puked due to shock. My boyfriend was my hero by carefully pulling it out with tweezers. I didn't want to go to the hospital cuz I couldn't wait for a doctor to remove it, but I would've had no choice if my bf wasn't able. It sucked so bad and I still cried after it was out and cuddled up to my bf lol it is pathetic but seriously... I won't sleep with earbuds in my ears ever again.
wow, thanks for the advice seriously
Everyones talking about the first story.. im highly concerned for the second one! Nothing i hate more then people stealing and hurting people, those poor girls I hope the second one didnt get killed when they forced her to find the stash.
I’m the first story after hearing about the roaches in the room as soon as he said there was something wrong with his ear immediately I was like I know where this is going and unfortunately it went exactly where I thought it was going. But 2 things 1 how the hell did the doctor in Greece not see the rest of it cause it seemed like there was quite a bit of it left and when he saw what he got out he didn’t realize how much was missing. After seeing the other doctor back home I would have told them idc if u have to put me under and do surgery to open up my ear canal I want u to make 1000% sure u got every last bit of it out. And 2 I wouldn’t be asking that air bnb for my money back I would be suing them into oblivion and writing as many reviews as possible so that u can’t even book a room at that place without seeing my story of how I got a roach in my ear while staying there
Tuesday morning, 13 mins early! Let's go!
Thanks for reminding me of my own bug in the ear incident. Ugh! 😢 I am surprised that no sounds is mentioned. Heck it was loud! I am sleeping with earplugs ever since.
Sleepies? Too cute. Joel, stop making us crush on you. 😂

Thanks Joel ❤

I have waited for thisss❤❤❤❤
27:38 skips the roach story your welcome
Damn been listening to Joel for years but for the first time ever I had to take my ear buds out and periodically check if the first story was finished it made me so uncomfortable and creeped me out.
Wow. This reminds me of when I was travelling in Australia. My boyfriend and I were staying in this seedy pub in Queensland. We had eaten Chinese food and left the empty plastic containers on our bedside tables.
Like you I heard scratching next to my bed. I opened the light and there was this massive roach the size of a bird using it's pincers to scrape the food.
To say that I was in shock and horror was an understatement. I couldn't kill this thing because of the size. So I flung the container out the window. Eeeeee.... But this ear story is next level. Omg. Horrific 😢
Queenslander here, what town were ya staying in?
Hes always on my watch list..❤
Thank you M'lord
Oh yes some great stories from Joel ❤thanks friend ❤
