Story #1: Why are they worried about asking the Dad for permission to go forward with a wedding? She says it herself that her and her family are not close. If you aren't close enough to your dad to ask him to go have breakfast and it not be weird then why should he have any say on you getting married at all? The father doesn't keep up with her life and they don't make efforts to hang out so why would it be important to have the father's say.
story 5 broke my heart. as a child who experienced years of verbal and emotional abuse from my father, who used to call me names and made me feel stupid for making small mistakes AS A CHILD, it can negatively impact these children for the rest of their lives. THEY NEED TO GET OUT of that situation, and away from the abuse, NOW. i understand that people who have served in war suffer with PTSD and act out in ways they usually wouldn't before war, HOWEVER, that is no excuse. As a 26 year old adult, I STILL HAVE ISSUES with the terrible comments my dad made at me when I was so young, these things still haunt me today, even after I went through years of healing as an adult. my heart breaks for these kids.
My mom died of stage 4 colon cancer. If she would have gotten a colonoscopy earlier she may be with us today. Get your butt checked!! Or get your cheeks checked!
I'm so sorry about your mom. We're coming up on the 1 year of my dad passing of colon cancer as well. I preach now to get colonoscopies. I'm unfortunately too young for insurance to cover it or I would be going asap. I wish my dad would've gone to get one when he was supposed to so he would still be with us.
Story 3: Why are you with this guy? You love him?… great… but he doesn’t love you. I’m not going to say it softly.. he’s abusive and doesn’t love you. Leave him. Get child support and set up weekend visits and then you can’t find ACTUAL happiness. Honey it’s better to be alone than with a guy who treats you awful. Get single, find some good friends and find happiness.
Story 5 really hit home for me. I grew up in very similar circumstances and honestly the husband isn’t as depressed as he seems to be. He acts like a monster then claims he’s depressed, suicidal and talks about how terrible he is because he knows damn well she’s going to feel empathy for him. All of a sudden it’s no longer about his disgusting behaviour and it becomes all about her reassuring him and talking him down. Good God I wish women weren’t taught to be so empathetic, it would save us a lot of trouble
Story 5: Please consider consulting a lawyer or womens/family advocate on your own before speaking to your husband about divorce (if you can do so in a safe manner). Especially if you are worried about shared custody. Someone with an understanding of the legal system may guide in how to document your situation and this behavior so you can be sure to maintain custody and so you have proof in court that the kids may need monitoring when in his care while he works on things. They will often also help navigate the financial aspects of splitting. Getting full custody doesn't mean you can't change your mind in the future and give him more access/split custody if you see he's changed and gotten control of his symptoms, it just means you can feel more at ease in the meantime and it may protect you from a terrible fallout custody or finance wise. Check your community for resources for women and or parents in unhealthy/abusive situations. Wishing the best for you and yours.
Story 1: It may be super old school to ask the father, but I’m so grateful I did this with my dad. My first long term relationship, the bf at the time asked my dad (I made him) and he said no. Literal best thing my dad has ever done for me. The boyfriend was so bad for me, couldn’t hold down a job, was abusive in so many ways, and I was just brainwashed. I truly think my dad saved my life by saying no, which helped me start to detach from the toxic ex. When my now husband asked, my dad was so elated and of course welcomed him into the family ❤
PLEASE everyone, keep up with routine screenings. My mom had a routine mammogram. Three days later a mastectomy. The cancer they found was so aggressive that she would have gone from asymptomatic to dead, in less than a month. My aunt had a routine colonoscopy one day and surgery/radiation treatments a couple days later. They found cancerous polyps that would have claimed her life, within a few months. They both felt fine. Responsible prevention saved their lives and kept them in ours.
Please remember that leaving an abusive relationship is often the most dangerous time and you do have to consider whether you will have to share custody with your partner. The end goal is to get out, but you have to be prepared for anything. If you can get proof of his behaviour so he doesn’t get custody do so, go to therapy & tell your therapist so they can document what’s going on & help you, do not go and pack or pick up stuff alone, bring a trusted person with you, tell someone you are ending things & tell them to come check on you if you don’t touch base within an hour or have them waiting outside, get your kids into therapy & prepare them if they will have to have visits alone with him, put a tracker in your kids bag, get them a phone they can use in an emergency. Leaving an abusive relationship & one with kids needs a lot of preparation. Especially with someone who feels shame & is already considering ending their life. There is nothing stopping them from taking their family with them.
I'm with Taylor there, i like how my life is too! 😅 I don't wanna find extra siblings, that means i gotta buy extra Christmas gifts.. IN THIS ECONOMY!!?? 😭 😂
yay perfect timing ! i can listen while i clean, i love when morgan asks me how the cleaning is going. can’t wait to talk into the void abt these stories 💛
Ooph..story 5...Short answer is yes, get those kids out of there. I was in a similar situation and was scared he would harm himself if I left, but came to realize it was not my responsibilty to make excuses for his behavior, nor would it be my fault if he made a decision to hurt himself. For my safety and the safety of my kids, I needed to leave. Was one of the most difficult, but one of the best, choices I have ever made.
Store #3 it sounds like the girl has post partum depression. When I had my son I felt very similar in the beginning and my relationship with his dad was awful! It wasn’t until I took care of myself and my mental health that I was able to be a healthy partner myself and able to communicate my needs more clearly. Don’t get me wrong this guy definitely needs to be doing more and needs to step up but my first step would be getting help for you first. The statement “when I am feeling good our relationship is good” i relate to 100%! It’s so easy to become overwhelmed with a new baby, especially as a first time mom. I was the same way and on the days my mood was good my relationship also flourished. But ultimately it’s going to be an on going issue if you don’t get the help you need. Then go from there! Best of luck to everyone in the situation. ❤
With story number 4: I think OP should tell her sister about all the info she has found and approach their dad as a united front. If the household is aggressive this would be the safest for them if they are still living at home. I also agree with y’all about reaching out to their newfound siblings!
For the last story look for shelters, not to live but they oftentimes do have recources for people in your situations. libraries and community centres can be a nice way to get away from him at least during the day. These are more short term solutions in case he makes leaving difficult or refuses to leave the house
This show prompted me to ask my mom if she got a colonoscopy and she told me she’s had numerous polyps removed and my great grandpa had colon cancer so THATS GOOD TO KNOW. Asking for a colonoscopy Thursday 😅 (I’m in my late 20s)
I had my husband get a colonoscopy. He just turned 33. He did have a polyp. Came back fine, but now that he knows he can get them his doc recommends he get regularly checked every 5 years. I can’t imagine him waiting until 45+ yrs. Because that’s the “standard” age to start checking. Nooo get checked earlier!
To be honest, Taylor isnt the odd one out for story #4. I don't remember how I was told that I have an older half sibling from my dad, but it has always been known amongst my siblings and I. Aside from their name, we don't know much not even how they look like. Not even my dad. as he was never part of their life. So, we all have a neutral feeling about. Its safe to say that i would be completely fine if I never meet them or ever look them up. I'm sure the same can be said about my half sibling. Since neither one of us have ever tried to contact one another.
Story #1: my fiance and I live 6 hours away from my family. Asking for my dads permission was important to both of us. While we were visiting my family for Christmas, my fiance (boyfriend at the time) helped my dad take stuff out to his truck and asked my dad out there. Theres definitely ways to do it even if you're all at the same place.
TW: Suicide i wish i had shared my story before this came out😞. my dad passed away this past thursday due to suicide and i’m so broken. I had a feeling. i confronted him the day before and poured my heart out to him. i told him that i was worried about him and was afraid he’d hurt himself. i made him promise me he wouldn’t do anything and made him promise to get help😖. I told him i can’t do life without you dad, but he laughed and said i was over reacting and that it wasn’t a big deal. he lied and took his life the next morning. i felt so guilty like i could’ve noticed sooner or said something sooner so he’d change his mind but it was too late. My dad will never walk me down the aisle, never be a grandpa and never come home again. i just wanted to share for anyone who truly believes no one can help them like my dad believed. i know he’s not hurting anymore but now im the one who feels so broken and guilty that i should’ve told someone sooner💔
I’m so so sorry. My dad took his life when I was 10 so I know how you feel, please know it’s not your fault. Grief camp is awesome and really really helpful, I recommend looking into it. Sending you a thousand hugs❤❤❤❤
The last story really hit home for me… I grew up with a verbally abusing father and now my siblings ( 16y age gap) are going through it and now I’m sad at work 😭
Story 3: it's such a massive red flag that she has lost all her friends over the years. For those of us who have gone through something similar, it's easy to see the subtext. He is isolating and controlling and she needs to get out.
Silent subscriber! 👋🏻 Story #5: ma'am you need to get yourself and your 4 babies out of that house that is very very unsafe! It might not be physical but it could potentially turn physical! I say get out for the safety of your kids and yourself!❤
Story 4: as the youngest kid with a half brother on my mom's, and FOUR half siblings on my dad's side... This story is so tough for me. The only way my pops found out his dad died was from a letter with no return address, and the only reason he knew it was from his mom was because it was written with a typewriter. I know basically nobody on my pop's side; other than his younger brother's name, his cousin's wife that I have on Facebook (who my mom told me not to talk to????) and my late grandparents, who were always good to my family when I was just a peanut of a human. Even now, when my dad has been battling a multitude of cancer in his body, he won't talk about his immediate family. I fear I will only finally learn about my dad's side of the family once he's gone.. it terrifies me, and fills me with dread, because he won't be around to fill in the blanks. Therefore, I can SO all totally get how this area of family can be so dodgy. Ugh! It's so incredibly frustrating when you can't get answers.
Story 5: get out you can love someone at a distance. He needs to see that this is serious and that he needs to help him self, not only is it severely abusive, but honestly it sound like the start of a true crime story, where the parent end in a psychotic break and hurts him self and/or is family
Hot girl tummy troubles meant a colonoscopy in my early thirties. Microscopic Collitis hoo-ray /s My dad was the youngest of 5 children between my grandmother and grandfather but my grandpa had two other kids from a marriage prior to my grandma. I vaguely knew the eldest uncle before he passed, I don't know nor do I really care to know the eldest aunt as she's never reached out to us.
Story 3: OP dump the ahole! He is a deadbeat dad! He is abusive. Your baby and you deserve better. You're a strong person to take all of this on. You're a single parent now. Please see your doctor as you may have postnatal depressionm. Seek child suppuprt. Please put your baby and yourself first.
Story 3… girl please get out. You say that it’s okay when you feel good but things are always okay when things are okay. What matters is his behavior when things are not okay and things are hard. Even the worst people have good qualities. You say he’s a good dad but the next sentence say you don’t trust to even leave the baby with him? That means he’s not a good dad. It’s not worth staying with someone just because you don’t want split custody. There are options, supervised visitation? Maybe he doesn’t want custody? But regardless you and the baby are not being Treated right and he hasn’t been doing that for a very long time. You can’t make someone start if they don’t want to. They have to want to
Story 5: i truly hope the mom leaves the husband for the sake of the kids I don't give a damn if he apologises or if he is "a great guy on the inside" . And I hope she is not brainwashed with the stupid concept of ' i make sure to protect my children the best i can so they don't see or hear as much"- they DO. Kiddos have VERY sharp senses
Story 4 reminds me of the scene from The Good Place I also want to know if anyone else thinks she meant she didn't want to burden the 2 daughters ("sister's") with reconnecting to Carl or their dad? Not a sister she grew up with?
Story 5: Angry spouse. It sounds like he is making himself the victim by calling himself a bad dad and "apologizing" without making any real change. Those kids need to know what it is like to not be around a toxic environment and not being in constant fear. OP and her kids need to get out of this situation, as soon as they can. OP needs to develop a get out plan before doing anything, she needs to have the kids out of the house and have people nearby before she even confronts her husband. Who knows how her husband will react to being confronted.
Story 4: Extra siblings, I'm commenting from someone who has two extra half-siblings. I know they exist, but they don't know I exist. I have spoken with my bio father, but we aren't close since our last conversation was about 11 years ago and he hasn't really been apart of my life. Since I have no intention of shaking things up for my half-siblings and our bio father is from what I understand a decent dad to them, I have also left things just be. I honestly don't really have anything to gain from learning more about that side of my genetics.
I am the eldest and I have 2 siblings. I have a sister that shares the same mom, and a brother that shares the same dad. Though my brother and sister barely know eachother, and don't see eachother as siblings, they are MY siblings, not half, just my sister, just my brother... I dont like "half" sibling outside a medical context (because that can matter when looking at things like family history and genetic predisposition to disease).
Taylor 😅😅 first story… I don’t think she was saying her boyfriend was scared… more so just not knowing how to go about it because as she said “going out for lunch isn’t a thing my family does” “he doesn’t know where his phone is” like as in there just is no opportunity rather than him just being scared to do it 😅
STORY FOUR! TALK TO YOUR DAD BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!!!! I have a similar situation, and I’d love to share that with you. When I’m done working, I’m going to find a way to reach out to you; maybe thru Morgan. But pleeeeease talk to your dad first, and hear what he says to say!!!!!!!!!
The story where the woman finds out her dad had a whole other family before them, the writer is assuming her father left the family, but isn’t it possible that the mother of his other children disappeared and her dad couldn’t find them? Maybe the other mom went into some sort off hiding, for whatever reason. There’s the very outside possibility that they had to go into witness protection, or maybe he was violent and the other mom didn’t feel safe coparenting with her dad. It’s not necessarily the dad’s fault.
Story 4, I feel like the kid doesn't know if dad paid child support and mom took the kids away. And I absolutely don't say that in a way of blaming the mom at all, bc there is sooooo much unknown here. And The write in is still absolutely valid for having negative feelings about it bc it's a HUGE part of your life that was omitted your entire life. Especially with the brother being around for a lot of their life and then he just vanished? That's all bizarre. But I'm sure they don't know their parents finances to know if he did pay child support and what was involved in their father mot being part of the other siblings lives.
Story 5: OP you should have taken your kids and leave now! Don't wait any longer. He is abusive. Don't wait until he is physically abusive. This can turn devastating quickly. Don't wait any longer. Run. Run now. I hope your childrren and you are able to get out safely. Please take care. Ask a trusted friend or family member to help you. Ask for police escort.
Snipe hunting I went when I was a child at my friend's birthday sleepover I don't remember what they said the creature was they said it was half something and something else I believe half raccoon and I don't remember the other damn thing of course they don't exist but I wish I could remember what they said it was I know that it wasn't a bird.
Story number 4: maybe all 3 kids where not his...... If ancestry and all didn't get back with any clues that could also be the reason..... Reading all these stories about men finding out later they were raising affair babies... It would also explain the anger.
@@miro__m i know some opinions were weird especially considering they always try to see from all sides.... But somehow came to this conclusion with lack of any information.
Holly is such a slacker. She needs to show up to work more, IMO. On the last story, that woman needs to take her kids away from her husband’s reach. I grew up in a fairly stable home(altho hindsight shows me that there was way more behind the scenes than I could have imagined), and while my dad wasn’t downright abusive, I know some of what he said, stuck. Even in jest, it’s stuck. His parents really should not have been parents, and given his role models, my dad did his best, but he was coming from such great flaws, and def missed the mark at times. Anyway, any time spent with this husband is in some probably invisible ways, ingraining in their heads things that are wrong and hurtful. Until the husband gets some serious help, he shouldn’t have access to those children until he is better mentally. I also want to say how much I love your shows, and wish I could get to a live one, and also every FKS episode makes me fall a little more in love with Jerry.(not trying to be inappropriate, but I love your take on things, and given the way I was raised, I wish desperately that I’d had a dad a little more like you). Keep up the good work guys, love you, love your shows, love your interactions, and while I’ve weenied out of my very necessary colonoscopy, I have plans to try the home test soon.
#1 Taylor really is confident however someone who wants theie father asked usually wouldnt marry without the blessing if indeed it is a religious or w.e it may be. He sounds very naive for sure.
Tayler is DEFINITELY from Minnesota 😂
😭 taylor sounds so Canadian 🤣
Commented by a Canadian
Story #1: Why are they worried about asking the Dad for permission to go forward with a wedding? She says it herself that her and her family are not close. If you aren't close enough to your dad to ask him to go have breakfast and it not be weird then why should he have any say on you getting married at all? The father doesn't keep up with her life and they don't make efforts to hang out so why would it be important to have the father's say.
She said it herself, it's important to them, that's all that matters 🤷♀️
Honestly I thought the same thing. I get it’s important to the both of them but they have no relationship with her family so why does it matter.
story 5 broke my heart. as a child who experienced years of verbal and emotional abuse from my father, who used to call me names and made me feel stupid for making small mistakes AS A CHILD, it can negatively impact these children for the rest of their lives. THEY NEED TO GET OUT of that situation, and away from the abuse, NOW. i understand that people who have served in war suffer with PTSD and act out in ways they usually wouldn't before war, HOWEVER, that is no excuse. As a 26 year old adult, I STILL HAVE ISSUES with the terrible comments my dad made at me when I was so young, these things still haunt me today, even after I went through years of healing as an adult. my heart breaks for these kids.
The Midwest accents are so thick 😂
Yeah I hardly noticed the difference cause I’m so used to them😂
My mom died of stage 4 colon cancer. If she would have gotten a colonoscopy earlier she may be with us today. Get your butt checked!! Or get your cheeks checked!
I'm so sorry about your mom. We're coming up on the 1 year of my dad passing of colon cancer as well. I preach now to get colonoscopies. I'm unfortunately too young for insurance to cover it or I would be going asap. I wish my dad would've gone to get one when he was supposed to so he would still be with us.

Get child support and set up weekend visits and then you can’t find ACTUAL happiness. Honey it’s better to be alone than with a guy who treats you awful.

Story 5 really hit home for me. I grew up in very similar circumstances and honestly the husband isn’t as depressed as he seems to be. He acts like a monster then claims he’s depressed, suicidal and talks about how terrible he is because he knows damn well she’s going to feel empathy for him. All of a sudden it’s no longer about his disgusting behaviour and it becomes all about her reassuring him and talking him down. Good God I wish women weren’t taught to be so empathetic, it would save us a lot of trouble

Taylor's midwest accent coming thru 😂
He could pass as a bit Irish lol

When my now husband asked, my dad was so elated and of course welcomed him into the family ❤
I relate to what Taylor said about the relationship you witnessed growing up giving you a good example of how NOT to treat people.
I’m a silent watcher but beyond thankful for you guys! Been watching y’all for a while and I get so happy when you guys post. Thank you 🙌🏼
PLEASE everyone, keep up with routine screenings. My mom had a routine mammogram. Three days later a mastectomy. The cancer they found was so aggressive that she would have gone from asymptomatic to dead, in less than a month.

Please remember that leaving an abusive relationship is often the most dangerous time and you do have to consider whether you will have to share custody with your partner.

Taylor is so shy though, he has an interesting take on things. Would love to hear more! Thank u for the ep guys 🎉❤

For my safety and the safety of my kids, I needed to leave. Was one of the most difficult, but one of the best, choices I have ever made.
You are an excellent parent for making that choice. At the end of the day someone has to step in and say enough is enough. Good on you.

The third story: PLEASE LEAVE that man.
Listening to THT and they mention FKS, and this drops two minutes later. Love it 🥰😆

It is WILD that Morgan had an ad read for Dipsea for her dad’s podcast😳
i thought the same thing😅 im glad theyre close but… i dunno man
Taylor is definitely from Minnesota 😂 sounds exactly like my brother 😂 😂😂😂😂😂 I just can’t listening to him talk 😂😂😂 feels like home
This show prompted me to ask my mom if she got a colonoscopy and she told me she’s had numerous polyps removed and my great grandpa had colon cancer so THATS GOOD TO KNOW. Asking for a colonoscopy Thursday 😅 (I’m in my late 20s)
Not me texting my dad to get a colonoscopy 🤣😭

I know basically nobody on my pop's side; other than his younger brother's name, his cousin's wife that I have on Facebook (who my mom told me not to talk to????) and my late grandparents, who were always good to my family when I was just a peanut of a human. Even now, when my dad has been battling a multitude of cancer in his body, he won't talk about his immediate family. I fear I will only finally learn about my dad's side of the family once he's gone.. it terrifies me, and fills me with dread, because he won't be around to fill in the blanks. Therefore, I can SO all totally get how this area of family can be so dodgy. Ugh! It's so incredibly frustrating when you can't get answers.
God I love this podcast
Story 5: get out you can love someone at a distance. He needs to see that this is serious and that he needs to help him self, not only is it severely abusive, but honestly it sound like the start of a true crime story, where the parent end in a psychotic break and hurts him self and/or is family
Hot girl tummy troubles meant a colonoscopy in my early thirties. Microscopic Collitis hoo-ray /s
My dad was the youngest of 5 children between my grandmother and grandfather but my grandpa had two other kids from a marriage prior to my grandma. I vaguely knew the eldest uncle before he passed, I don't know nor do I really care to know the eldest aunt as she's never reached out to us.
Story 3: OP dump the ahole! He is a deadbeat dad! He is abusive. Your baby and you deserve better. You're a strong person to take all of this on. You're a single parent now. Please see your doctor as you may have postnatal depressionm. Seek child suppuprt. Please put your baby and yourself first.
Story 3… girl please get out. You say that it’s okay when you feel good but things are always okay when things are okay. What matters is his behavior when things are not okay and things are hard. Even the worst people have good qualities. You say he’s a good dad but the next sentence say you don’t trust to even leave the baby with him? That means he’s not a good dad. It’s not worth staying with someone just because you don’t want split custody. There are options, supervised visitation? Maybe he doesn’t want custody? But regardless you and the baby are not being Treated right and he hasn’t been doing that for a very long time. You can’t make someone start if they don’t want to. They have to want to
Story 5: i truly hope the mom leaves the husband for the sake of the kids
I don't give a damn if he apologises or if he is "a great guy on the inside" . And I hope she is not brainwashed with the stupid concept of ' i make sure to protect my children the best i can so they don't see or hear as much"- they DO. Kiddos have VERY sharp senses
I’m with Taylor on story 1. If he is nervous to ask her dad, what else is he too nervous to do? ❤
Story 4 reminds me of the scene from The Good Place
I also want to know if anyone else thinks she meant she didn't want to burden the 2 daughters ("sister's") with reconnecting to Carl or their dad? Not a sister she grew up with?
I've been waiting for this ❤❤❤
Story 5: Angry spouse. It sounds like he is making himself the victim by calling himself a bad dad and "apologizing" without making any real change. Those kids need to know what it is like to not be around a toxic environment and not being in constant fear. OP and her kids need to get out of this situation, as soon as they can.
OP needs to develop a get out plan before doing anything, she needs to have the kids out of the house and have people nearby before she even confronts her husband. Who knows how her husband will react to being confronted.
Story 4: Extra siblings, I'm commenting from someone who has two extra half-siblings. I know they exist, but they don't know I exist. I have spoken with my bio father, but we aren't close since our last conversation was about 11 years ago and he hasn't really been apart of my life.
Since I have no intention of shaking things up for my half-siblings and our bio father is from what I understand a decent dad to them, I have also left things just be. I honestly don't really have anything to gain from learning more about that side of my genetics.
I am the eldest and I have 2 siblings. I have a sister that shares the same mom, and a brother that shares the same dad. Though my brother and sister barely know eachother, and don't see eachother as siblings, they are MY siblings, not half, just my sister, just my brother... I dont like "half" sibling outside a medical context (because that can matter when looking at things like family history and genetic predisposition to disease).
Taylor 😅😅 first story… I don’t think she was saying her boyfriend was scared… more so just not knowing how to go about it because as she said “going out for lunch isn’t a thing my family does” “he doesn’t know where his phone is” like as in there just is no opportunity rather than him just being scared to do it 😅
I'm so early!!! I love you guys
STORY FOUR! TALK TO YOUR DAD BEFORE DOING ANYTHING!!!! I have a similar situation, and I’d love to share that with you. When I’m done working, I’m going to find a way to reach out to you; maybe thru Morgan. But pleeeeease talk to your dad first, and hear what he says to say!!!!!!!!!
Oh shiii early on the vid and get to eat breakfast watching!!!!
If you're parents are over 45. Not me feeling super old because I am 42 😂. And I'm nobody's mum.
Heyyy time to schedule it!! recommend age is 45 but that would be lower if insurance wasn't so scammy!
Story 5: is/was my dad. The relationship is better now but my dad really messed up my mental health.
The story where the woman finds out her dad had a whole other family before them, the writer is assuming her father left the family, but isn’t it possible that the mother of his other children disappeared and her dad couldn’t find them? Maybe the other mom went into some sort off hiding, for whatever reason. There’s the very outside possibility that they had to go into witness protection, or maybe he was violent and the other mom didn’t feel safe coparenting with her dad. It’s not necessarily the dad’s fault.
Story 4, I feel like the kid doesn't know if dad paid child support and mom took the kids away. And I absolutely don't say that in a way of blaming the mom at all, bc there is sooooo much unknown here. And The write in is still absolutely valid for having negative feelings about it bc it's a HUGE part of your life that was omitted your entire life. Especially with the brother being around for a lot of their life and then he just vanished? That's all bizarre. But I'm sure they don't know their parents finances to know if he did pay child support and what was involved in their father mot being part of the other siblings lives.
🎉 per per per perrrrr !!!!❤
Story 5: OP you should have taken your kids and leave now! Don't wait any longer. He is abusive. Don't wait until he is physically abusive. This can turn devastating quickly. Don't wait any longer. Run. Run now.
I hope your childrren and you are able to get out safely. Please take care. Ask a trusted friend or family member to help you. Ask for police escort.
Snipe hunting I went when I was a child at my friend's birthday sleepover I don't remember what they said the creature was they said it was half something and something else I believe half raccoon and I don't remember the other damn thing of course they don't exist but I wish I could remember what they said it was I know that it wasn't a bird.
My dad told my brother in law no.
Story number 4: maybe all 3 kids where not his...... If ancestry and all didn't get back with any clues that could also be the reason..... Reading all these stories about men finding out later they were raising affair babies... It would also explain the anger.
I thought the same thing, they jumped to conclusions too fast. Maybe he didn't abandon anyone because those children are not his.
@@miro__m i know some opinions were weird especially considering they always try to see from all sides.... But somehow came to this conclusion with lack of any information.
Okay, so quick side note- how do you all look alike?😅❤
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Where are his pants
Story 3 and 5 Jesus Christ.... Both of these poor women need to leave!
Holly is such a slacker. She needs to show up to work more, IMO. On the last story, that woman needs to take her kids away from her husband’s reach. I grew up in a fairly stable home(altho hindsight shows me that there was way more behind the scenes than I could have imagined), and while my dad wasn’t downright abusive, I know some of what he said, stuck. Even in jest, it’s stuck. His parents really should not have been parents, and given his role models, my dad did his best, but he was coming from such great flaws, and def missed the mark at times. Anyway, any time spent with this husband is in some probably invisible ways, ingraining in their heads things that are wrong and hurtful. Until the husband gets some serious help, he shouldn’t have access to those children until he is better mentally. I also want to say how much I love your shows, and wish I could get to a live one, and also every FKS episode makes me fall a little more in love with Jerry.(not trying to be inappropriate, but I love your take on things, and given the way I was raised, I wish desperately that I’d had a dad a little more like you). Keep up the good work guys, love you, love your shows, love your interactions, and while I’ve weenied out of my very necessary colonoscopy, I have plans to try the home test soon.
Maybe taylor is shy ? Idk thesnt have much opinion
#1 Taylor really is confident however someone who wants theie father asked usually wouldnt marry without the blessing if indeed it is a religious or w.e it may be. He sounds very naive for sure.
14 seconds ago, yay!
I thought bro was just wearing undies cause his shorts are so small
Wow nice hairy manly legs❤😊
Really hope you’re at the Tempe show pops 🫶🏼
