@@HWDragonbornIt was the 90’s.

who is going to disown mark ???? Dad is P - whipped and would not dare to harm a hair on his wife's son🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and they are okey with fact that they left a 16 year old boy to die on the street so this new revelation won't change anything in anyone's life. Dad wanted to get rid of his son for some reason and he grabed the opportunity provided by mark with both hands. Otherwise a loving father would at least listen his son's side of the story.
@@roronoazoro276 Hm I think we could actually prove that OP did not even put the panties there - I mean he never touched them, but Mark did... But I am sure, that Mark would not be kicked out. Kicking out a 16 year old is just brutal.
Is it even legal to kick out a 16 year old, even with all the allegations on them? Cause I'd feel like the police would have been involved once people start wondering where a kid went.
Depends on the country, I think? Some places around the world consider an adult to be 16 and over. There's also a grey area in some places where he's still considered a minor, but the parents could lie and say he left willingly and nothing would be done about it because at 16+ they can choose to leave. Also I'm totally not a legal expert but I work overnights and listen to a minimum 40 hours of true crime podcasts and reddit stories every week. Picked up a few things along the way. Makes me feel lucky that I grew up in the country that I did, because kids really have it rough elsewhere.
It said it was 30, years ago, very different from today. I graduated in the early 2000s, I can tell you getting kicked out of your house wasn't common but it wasn't super rare, it happened to three people I went to school with. As long as you still showed up to class the school didn't care, and if you went to the police, they would just take you back home where you were probably going to be thrown out again as soon as the police left (without the police actually doing anything about it). Times were very different back then
What kind of a person uses a word like that for their own son instead of trying to get him help? What is more, stealing that underwear is NOT proof that he was attracted to his step sister. If he was interested in cross dressing but too embarrassed to buy women's clothing in the store he might in desperation resort to stealing the clothing from female family members. Even IF he had stolen it we do not know for sure that he had incestuous intent.
I dont care how sorry they are. For 30 years, they believed without question that op was guilty for something he didn’t do. If Mark hadn’t spilt the truth whole drunk, they'd have gone to the grave, still thinking the worst about op. Funny how there was nothing in the email about Mark suffering any consequences about his lies.
Imagine being Lisa now knowing the boy she was with was wrongfully accused and the guy you are married to would do something like that. Can’t fathom for their relationship to last much longer
Story 1: Even IF he had stolen the sister's clothing it would not have justified how the parents reacted. They could have had a heart to heart talk with him and tried to get him help from a therapist or something. Some things are unforgivable but technically his only crime would have been petty theft (stealing the underwear). I think forgiving a false accusation and unfair treatment would be easier if the treatment would have been valid had it been true but even IF he had done what they accused him of the way they reacted is disgusting.
Story 1 : OP you are a strong person to rebuild your life after that. Most people would self delete or go to wrong path in life but you managed to create a good life for yourself congrats.
My laundry and families get messed up all the time so even if he didnt plant it why was it such a stretch to think their laundry was messed up or someone put it there? But to kick him out at 16 and ask for forgiveness even if they had no clue once they became 18 they owed him to findout the truth and never did they should rest alone and leave OP alone forever
I always wanted him to go back. Get the will changed to exclude mark... And then plant drugs in marks vehicle and call the cops. Then deny anything and point out that how could they believe mark after the three decade lie he already put the "family" through
@@myeternalteardropSams but that just shows that he was able to come to terms with it and isn’t carrying to much anger with him around which is nice for him
Incoming "false allegations are so terrible because they also make actual victims harder to get justice" comments. They appear on every false allegation video, without fail. Innocent until proven guilty is a good thing. And if all it takes is the accusation to ruin somebody's life, it isn't that hard for victims to get justice. It's the literal."women most affected" meme.
When you have a woman in UK putting away 7 men into jail on false charges, yeah, I'd say any allegation whatsoever has to be completely proven by the accuser. No he said/she said. Hard video/DNA evidence only. Can't give that? Too bad, get stuffed, your assault charge gets tossed in the trash.
Its a hard thing imo innocent until proven guilty in most cases is the right thing to do but in many cases SA and stuff like that is more or less impossible to prove if some time has passed and most victims won’t go to the police immediately and often weeks if not months or years pass. I see your point in trying to prevent false accusations but many victims would loose their chance for Justice that way
@@philritter9042 So we should just punish people on the say so of someone? With no evidence whatsoever in most cases? That way you are simply creating victims of a different gender who also need JUSTICE. What you are saying is the equivalent of me demanding that you be jailed for murder just because I said you killed someone 10 years ago. After all, the innocent victim you killed deserves justice, who are you to deny them.
@@phoenix211245 That’s not what I’m trying to say just that this matter is a lot more complicated than it might seem at first glance. I am not a lawyer or know the law in any way but I’m sure there are people much smarter and knowledgable than both of us out there who have better and probably a lot more complicated answers for that problem. The only question is if any of them would ever have a chance to implement changes into the law so that less people suffer be it wrongly accused or actual victims
This guy should've made an appearance on daytime talk-show, "The Steve Wilkos Show" to tell his story and take a lie detector test to prove his innocence.
It could be fake as this story is almost identical to another i heard. However, giving benefit of the doubt, he should contact the family, tell them he doesn’t care, and not to contact him again. which is worse than him hating them. When you hate someone, it means you still care on some level. Apathy is the true death of anything.
People must be so delusional to the point that they think stuff like this is forgivable. How about you just live with the consequences of your actions? The family deserves no such forgiveness nor sympathy from OP, regardless if it was out of manipulation and deceit. You all fucked up, now you lost OP. Deal with it.
So, kicked out at 16, 30 years later family asks for forgiveness. So, he’s 46 when the family asked forgiveness. But! Met his future wife at 35, married 2 years later, and 15 years later they’re still happily married. That would make him 50-52 years old depending on if he counts from the time they met or the time they got married. So…time travel will be invented in the next 4-6 years. Awesome!
Glad too hear the dude from the first story is doing well. Maturity obviously comes with age cause im 31 and if i was in the first guys position and then got that email. The very first thing i would ne asking is where's Mark, cause me and him would need to have a little talk
These things actually happen, my grandma was kicked out from her parents house because a friend of her told my great-grandmother that she had seen my grandma hooking up with a boy in the fields (they lived in the countryside). Turns out she was the one hooking up with him and my great-grandmother kicked my grandma out of the house without second guessing. In the end when my great-grandmother was in her final years, old and sick, out of 7 children, the one who took care of her was my grandma. My mom told me that in those last years, my great-grandmother used to cry until she fell asleep begging and asking my grandma to forgave her. My grandma would listen and say to her that everything was okay, that there wasnt anything to forgive, meanwhile my great-grandmother cried in her arms. People make terrible mistakes but forgiveness is always the right choice and is not for the person who has done something wrong is for the person that has been wronged. Forveginess is the true key to freedom. But also you can forgive someone and keep them away from you and thats valid.
Wait - so OP just randomly wrote a story on Reddit, and simultaneously Mark "just happens" to be bragging at a bar about ruining framing his step-brother's life. Then OP's former step-sister "just happens" to reach out to OP and also posts on the same Reddit thread for everyone to see? This is so fake. I can't believe anything falls for this. Anyone can make 2 reddit accounts and pretend to write whatever story they want.

So is Mark going to be disowned? I'm guessing not, cause the family sucks.... Fuck em
tbf, it would be weird if OP knew that, since he says family respected his choice and did not contact him any further...
So...kicked out a 16 year old? He didn't go to the police? The school didn't ask questions about his sudden disappearance? No repercussions for Mark?
