Sounds truly awful, and I'm glad you've found some peace. I hope my husband will also one day, as he's got a mother similar to that, and she lives with us..ugh! We have to be watchful
The second story has me pondering whether 'Uncle Joe' really was the hero OP and their father thinks they are. Just on the surface, it seems like cope to go "wow that crazy guy threatening to end us took his own life instead, what a hero!" With the addition of the mother's contempt, it makes me wonder what she saw in uncle Joe while he was alive, when he's most likely a blind spot for his father. Perhap's OP is 100% accurate on this despite going off of secondary sources, but I'll still wonder if she ever noticed things about Uncle Joe that weren't blatantly incriminating or vile, but still gave her doubts about the image he put out for everyone else. An unexplainable vibe that only clicks into place when his note was disclosed to the family, and so the only way she can process the vibe plus the information is contempt.
i recently found out my mother has a big sister with down syndrome who ended up being a child of SA by a priest in my grandma's reservation.Finding this out 24 years into my life feels surreal. I feel bad for my grandmother, she's always been a bitter hurt person. I now understand why.
I worked at an "asylum" for dev disabled people & it was wild to learn that siblings popped up after parents died ...apparently Dr's convinced parents to drop off their kids & forget about them & siblings would be clueless until parents died & the kids would find paperwork after parents died!!!
*A disturbing dream woke me up at 4 a.m. and I clicked on my computer to get my mind to another place. I landed here and the stories kept me company. I am grateful but not yet in a better place as I look out at the dark wintry night through window panes covered in cold raindrops and my past flooding in to torment me.*
Story 3. It doesn't sound like the uncle purposely wanted to hurt his wife. She hit him first and he pushed her back, its a reflex. Op said he doesn't know why but his uncle didn't finish her off after she fell. You think maybe it's because it truly was an accident...Then she spends years tormenting him until he terminates his life. Sounds like she wasn't some innocent victim.
Story 4 was messed up in all ways but I don’t blame the dad. He had a horrible end which would have been fixed even a little bit if the older sister confronted him on it with the family. Sure it would have been bad then but it would have brought the family back together. But that’s just me. It’s a scary situation to chose between your family.
Yes, I agree. I found it very naive that OP questioned whether his father would have been killed by those men. His aunt was playing with fire throughout her life unfortunately, I don’t think risking his entire family was worth it.
Poor Grandma!😢Horribly misunderstood,suffering & abandoned; she finally lost it completely. So she got to die in prison whilst her kin continued to ignore their responsibilities to her!
I was just thinking that. PostPartum Psychosis sounds more like it. Being locked away for years and years. I imagine OP's birth and care was heavily monitored by their father until the 4th trimester hormones were over. I can't imagine how traumatized the mom is, so hard.
My thoughts exactly. And tbh the mother owes no explanation to the son in my opinion. He should be able to figure out on his own his mother obviously suffered at the hands of mental health.
I really enjoy your content! I just got my husband hooked to your podcast. He has to work out of state so does a lot of driving. It now gives us something to talk about while he’s gone.
these are my favorite. please do another confessions video those were the absolute best and ive been wayching true scary stories for litterally 8 years
My mom told me when I was 18 years old that my dad wasnt my dad. She told me her first boyfriend, the love of her life, was my real dad. She never told my "other dad" about it because my grandma prevented her from marrying the other guy because they didnt like him. My "other dad" was so excited when my mom told him she was pregnant that he proposed to her right away and decided to get married. My mom couldnt break his heart after such reaction. She kept this secret from everyone until she told me one day while watching tv, ironically we were watching a tv show about family secrets. She took that as a sign. I almost fainted, i couldnt believe it. I never told my "other dad" whom i consider my one and only dad because that would hurt him so much, so now, my mom and I carry this secret.
@@IAmGodHimself777she was still riding 2 different guy's and chose the "good guy" to raise the baby because the other guy would've laughed at her as he told her to kick rocks 😂😂😂😂😂
These stories were some of the very Best (albeit sad) that I've heard on any UA-cam channel. I was locked into every story. Excellent choice of material & excellent narration. Bravo!
You’re talking about people who survived the war and lived through horrifying experiences which left them utterly broken, none of the other countries during World War II had to go through what Poland experienced from the hands of German Nazi’s. We were then left to the “mercy” of Russians who further did unthinkable things to us for years and years. This kind of trauma was then passed on to the next few generations in a form of abuse and domestic violence which decades later only gave us a shread of idea of what war and the aftermath of it did to these people. It’s easy to judge from the comfort of a normal life without having to confront any of the horrors these people, and I mean all of them, were exposed to.
@@TheAsentrastill. I've never heard of a child/teen killing women and child with rocks. Not in self defense, but just because everyone else around you is doing it too
I don't think it actually happed to the OP - I think he just made up a story after reading the Wikapedia. I don't think he could have followed that elaborate tale with the father whispering in Polish, if he hadn't heard his father talking Polish since he was a little kid
@@zulikkowalski3547 the main giveaway to me is that the father somehow knew that the boy wasn't killed and that they townspeople said he was. like how would the father know that? its much more likely the truth was uncovered by talking to multiple witnesses of the pogrom than from the father knowing that all on his own
I have been subscribe to your channel for a long time, and I have pretty much watched every story you have done, this has to be my absolute favorite and please do this one again because. Every single story was like a page turner.
This first one sounds true. There was an older lady caught for the same crimes on a fake murder for hire site that started as a joke site but got legitimate requests through the years
What about that one guy who was desperate for money, it might have been during the pandemic but I can’t remember, anyway he posted on Craigslist or some forum offering up his yard as a disposal site “NQA-no crime, ‘natural’ deaths only” or something like that?!! There’s that TX mom who tried to literally take out daughter’s cheerleading competitor or her mother to make her too depressed to win. She took a plea agreement of 10yrs after receiving an initial 14yrs, homegirl walked out after serving 6 months of that 10yrs to serve the rest on probation or whatever!?!
How does your motto relate to the first story? The grandmother was dying. But also was the one not “thriving”. She was abusive and was setting up a murder.
I don't know about the story, but that lil Freudian slip right there indicates it's probably best you just keep yourself in the woodwork either which way.
"She pretended to let bygones be bygones but was bent on revenge"... Revenge for what? She hit him & he pushed her away. It's called self defense. She was the one at fault, not him. You don't put ur hands on someone if ur not ok with getting hit back 🤷🏻♀️
That sister is ridiculous! You want a father that’s supposed to protect his family to give up six people in the house, rather than the sister who was selfish and only thought of herself, who went out then got herself into serious trouble on her own?!
Wow the first one just brought up old memories. My sister-in-law hired a hit man to kill my brother. So she could be with my sister's husband, at the time. It tore our family apart. The worst part of it all, my brother stayed with her. Fast forward 30 years and we still don't get together as a family. She ruined everything and my children grew up without cousins.
@@oisinlynch8427 The writer specifically stated that their dad went out to the car and called the police. My point is that in the EARLY 80s, VERY few people had a mobile device of any kind.
There were phones in some cars 40 years ago. The fees to use it were astronomical though lol. And they were actually attached to the car with a curly cord, like a house phone but thinner. You couldn’t take it out of the car because the cord wasn’t long enough. It was located in the console, between the driver and passenger seats. And only came in prestigious cars like Lincoln Continental and Cadillacs.
My family is harboring many deep, dark secrets and sadly the only ones who would know anything have passed away. I do know this though: my great-grandfather on my dad's side up and left his family out of the blue one day, never to be see or heard from again, and both of my grandfathers had extra-marital affairs which means there's a chance my parents have siblings they'll never know about. Also apparently Emily Dickinson was a distant relative of mine.
The bail amount was given when the grandma first got arrested and the lawyer called her daughter to let her know and she asked how much to bail her out of jail. At that juncture, she realizes that her mum must’ve done something heinous to have such a high bail and awaits trial/sentencing in jail. This is when she ceased contact with her mum and didn’t hear about her again until years later when she’s dying in prison.
Yeah, not sure if not doing something awful qualifies as being a hero. That’s like saying instead of robbing a bank I instead worked overtime for some extra cash, thus preventing a bank robbery.
The last story, with the wife having drowned her kiddos, that man mustve truly loved her to stick by her side and eventually deciding to have another child.
The story about the Polish Dad is a powerful testament to the power of a lie. One lie can do so much damage. And a false accusation can destroy a life, or many lives. Although I’m not religious, I understand why one off the 10 commandments is not to bear false witness. A forensic anthropologist once said that the most decomposed corpse is preferable to the odiousness of deceit & lies.
Story #3, That uncle definitely plotted to kill his wife their entire marriage. He probably planned to push her, and he double unalived the both of them. Maybe she was naive and believed him due to gaslighting. Happens
True or not, great stories, new sub for a week now, with the very large selection of past content, this channel and a couple more with fit nicely into ever gap of empty space right in between MrBallen episodes
I mean even if they did, the supposed men are right there down the street, and the cops take like five minutes at the best of times to show up to these things. And there's no way to call the police discreetly while chatting up the guy threatening your family.
@hayasheeeesh Well, good points, however, I'm from a stand-your-ground state in the US and the gun laws here tend to be a little much relaxed. Safe to say, it would go pretty bad for that gentleman if tried that nonsense here.
Story 1 is iike wow I can't even imagine what kinda childhood u could have wit a woman that tries to hire a hit man to kill neighbors n there young kids that's just crazy to me

True or not, great stories, new sub for a week now, with the very large selection of past content, this channel and a couple more with fit nicely into ever gap of empty space right in between MrBallen episodes
That’s the best part of subscribing to a channel,you get to binge all their past content!
Those stories were fantastic.
34:02 Why didn't they just call the police?
The family seemed like a bunch of cowards.
I mean even if they did, the supposed men are right there down the street, and the cops take like five minutes at the best of times to show up to these things. And there's no way to call the police discreetly while chatting up the guy threatening your family.
@hayasheeeesh Well, good points, however, I'm from a stand-your-ground state in the US and the gun laws here tend to be a little much relaxed. Safe to say, it would go pretty bad for that gentleman if tried that nonsense here.
These were really good stories
Story 1 is iike wow I can't even imagine what kinda childhood u could have wit a woman that tries to hire a hit man to kill neighbors n there young kids that's just crazy to me
More of these!! I really wish the person of the second story knew or said why the uncle wanted them dead though.
Wow story 2-Thank goodness he didn't kill his entire family. Smh
Heartbreaking stories. I could never understand why some humans are so cruel.
