@@iknowexactlywhoyouare8701 it doesnt amtter both children are suffering from shitty parents and they have to solution to do anything about it because those shitty parents are their everything.
@@taeharyu1812 exactly. It’s not a competition. I wish I had more money and a bigger house so I could take these kids...any kids who just want a family’s love and protection. You don’t hurt kids!
“ I’m a single mom of 1 son, but always have room for 1 more” the news needs acknowledge women like her on the news, in stead of praising these actors and actress and athletes for doing what their getting paid to do!!! They should put stories and awards on the news and media for women like her that is so amazing i a salute her!!!!
And for men too, tbh men more because they get looked at as creepy old guys stalking or kidnapping a girl or boy, it's awful and I'm glad that never happened to my dad, probably because he beat up an entire gang and is kinda buff, he took martial arts lessons half his life, buuuuut the gangsters were also just donkey ass at fighting I think, he came home with bruised eyes and bloody lips, he was MESSED up, probably has some light scares from it on his skin, it sounded like a goddamn movie but I can confirm, it was true, he did come home beat up and I'm just glad he didn't get internal bleeding and die like my dads friends uncle/dad (I forgot) by getting jumped and died shortly after. My dad definitely isn't invincible, but he can hold his own till the end in a fight
@@olivia7212 it seem like you stopped reading when he said "men more" and ask this question, when he or she instantly explained it, if you just read for 1 more word..
I'm still growing up, 10 years old. My dad drinks beer and almost kills my grandfather when he gets drunk, he also takes drugs and smokes, my mom does the same.... My mom thinks me and my half sister are being raped by donkey dicks, me and my grandfather are the only sane ones in my family, just wanted to tell you....
Not to mention bad childhood means bad future for them. Sad part is If they get a mental breakdown people will call him or she crazy and not offer help. Poor people who just end up in the asylums because they won't offer help.
I did.. I had too. But thankfully my dad stopped and he became so much more reliable and gained all my trust. He’s truly an amazing guy and he works so hard!
My parents smoke, But its for a reason. They are very stressed as we are losing money quickly due to covid-19, its very upsetting I havent told them to stop if they are not going to until they are ok.......
@@user-rt3jc6yb6t the uk sort of has a service like that. “Social services” I believe. These agents come and force kids into caring homes if they have abusive parents or the standards for safety are too low
I never wanted children myself and I can not see myself as a father. Stories like this still make me cry a little. I feel so very sorry for them. Several years ago in my teens I was going to the store in summer and down the road next to the store was a building in which mostly poor families lived. I heard slapping and a little child crying for his mom to stop hitting him. It did not as I walked by. Another time I was at a tattoostudio and all the artist and I were out having a smoke. A woman with two children walked by. They were around five years old. the little boy asked if he could have ice cream from the next door ice cream parlor like all the other kids standing in line. She hit him square in the face splitting his lip and his nose bled just telling him to shut the fuck up. No one said a word, but everybody stood up. The girls took the kids for an ice cream and the guys took their mom around the corner to "have a serious conversation". It did not take long to get CPS on her. The guys told me, they saw the kids again but with a different lady and they were way happier. They took them for ice cream when ever they came by. Don't want to know what was going on at home if she dealt with them this way in public.
This isnt reddit but here's mine: I was walking into the classroom and overheard my (ex) bestfriend saying "I dont really like [My Name]. I'm just friends with her because she is rich" We were friends since 8... Buttt, I moved on and now I have a great bestfriend ☺️👍
on the other hand, I really never had real friends. I even could feel they didn't like me that much since I was the poorest one. Now I have maybe.. 1 to 3 people I can maybe call "a friend" and I'n happy with that :)
my parents tried and made my birthday parties so awesome, and since my birthday is in later months, some people would be nice to me and I’d invite them to the birthday party, then right after they kinda like ignored me. But I have a best friend of 7 years and I’m happy 😃
As someone who naturally wants to be a mother and looks forward to it someday- the last story absolutely broke my heart. I easily get connected to children/even people younger than me and can get pretty protective if they aren't being treated right. I hope that little boy and (what I assume) his siblings now have a warm healthy home and a happy life.
"I miss my brother" said to me by a maybe 5yo boy while working at a funeral home. His older brother had been accidently run-over by his mother. I've always been able to keep my emotions under control. I had to politely excuse myself and go the back room. Even now 15+ years later I can still see the sadness on his little face. I hope he was able to grow up and be ok.
@@whoopihyena8961 in this case the family was out in the forest camping. The mother needed the drive into town to get some things. As she was backing out the kid ran behind the truck where she couldn't see him. The truck hit him knocking him to the ground and under the tires.
The one with the neglected kid who got adopted by his friends family broke my heart. Edit: I’m glad so many people share the same thought! Everybody deserves a loving home.
I once got a voicemail from a child that said “m-mom? He told me t-to call you... P-please come home.... Im- I’m really scared...” I think about it a lot...
Ashlyn Lancaster no. Wish I did though. I asked my mom what to do and she just said don’t do anything about it because it would probably be figured out eventually. So I just worried all day.....
My mom said to me was “You are adopted, you’re mother/my sister gave you to me, and we took care of you.” We burst out crying and it hurts me still to this day
To the Mom who took in her son's friend. You had a huge part in that young man's success. I'm not at all saying he couldn't do it living with his father. You gave him a stable and safe environment . And I have to give the father credit for doing right by his son by asking her to take him.
My son's third birthday present from his mother was her abandoning us for another man 12 hours away. Currently going to court for custody and child support.
My mum was absolutely shitty growing up. My dad fought as hard as he could and got joint custody after years of fighting. I'm 19 now and just moved out to my own place after living with him and my amazing stepmum for 6 years. Just keep trying, kids notice shit like that
I'm sorry, dude. Make sure your case is solid and get full custody of your kid. No parent should just walk out of their own child's life like that. Rooting for you.
Haha a abused starved child haha haha lol gacha XD lmao I’m a gacha kid who ruins gacha and should be gutted and let on a curb (This is a joke) just so Layla knows
An experience that got me traumatized: Me, my mom and my siblings were on our way home from my tae kwan doe practise. We were almost home tho, we stopped due to a car stopping us(No, it's not a police car) my mom was waiting for the car to move but, it just didn't. So my mom tried to go around the car. He then started yelling at us accusing us "hitting" his car. He was banging on our window car. I was so scared I started crying. My mom then started to call my dad. When my dad arrive, the "man" started to act innocent as if we are the one who banged on his window. My dad took a photo of his car plate & insisted going to the police station.When we arrived, the "man" didn't showed up. Luckily for us, my mom's work friend worked there now apparently. We told him his car plate and everything he did. My mom's friend then started to insist us to go to another police station to do some contracts. Even though we are "safe" I would always remember that day.
There was a kid at my school who was really smart. Over time, I realized that his parents severely punished him if he got any grade that was not an 85 or above, and if he ever got a B in his class, he would be grounded for the rest of the year. I had a science class with himin middle school. He was talking to the teacher and he found out on the day that grades were due that he was two points short of an A. He had no way to raise his grade either. Since I sat next to the teacher's desk, I overheard that he forgot a homework assignment one day and had a zero. At the end of the day, I gave him a homework pass I found in my backpack that he could get rid of the zero with. He gave it to the teacher before she left and he got an A. So I guess that's my story.
You're a good friend but dude someone needs to report his parents. Thats psychologically abusive. Even though it's not physical it can seriously mess up his head when he grows up. I know of a kid who always has ptsd anytime we joke about him sucking at uno or videogames. We don't do that anymore because we know it brings back bad memories.
1:58 was heart breaking at the beginning, I’m so glad the mother took him in. His parents obviously wasn’t the best in the world, I’m glad his father thought of him for a bit, but it’s sad that he had to go through all of the during his childhood..
Watching these sorts of videos makes me realize how good my life actually is. Like I never realize that what I have in my life is considered an extreme luxury for some people when it is just normal living for me.
I want to back hand that lady SO HARD and steal the child and take him to the store and let him get everything he wants food candy toys etc then take him home and raise him as my own and NEVER EVER hurt him and if I did by accident ( like accidentally elbow him) I would apologize for 7 hours straight he deserves better 😣😫😢😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😤😤😤😤😤😭😤😭😭😤😭😤😤😭😤😤😭😭😤😤😭😭 the mom sucks 🤬😡
I'll never forget walking around the store with my grandma and over hearing a little girl, no more than 6 talk about how hungry she was, her care giver was ignoring her and putting garbage in the cart, obviously nothing specifically for her to eat.
I overheard my parents deciding whether or not to put me in a mental institute. I was at one of the lowest points in my life and that was like 2 years ago so I really hasn't left my mind.
one time i was in a Mexican restaurant bathroom that has the stall door to the floor and i heard a dad beating his son. he had no idea anyone heard it was horrible
Now thats just super messed up. If we could get context and the kid did some really bad stuff, or the father beating the kid was just a huge noise but in reality just some stuff. I hope we could get that but oh well.
I was waiting for an entry job interview at a big company and in walks this sweet 30 something lady. Walks up to the HR rep, hands her a resume, and is immediately rejected. I overheard her pleading to the rep. "I've been a housewife for 17 years and I've never had a job. My husband took everything. I really need this job for my kids. I'm willing to learn. I'm willing to work. Please just give me an interview". The rep responded "you need to just make up with your husband. You don't belong here." I got the job and turned it down. I was just too shaken that someone could be so cold hearted to another person in such a harsh position over an entry level customer service job. In this case, Human Resources forgot about the "human" aspect of the job.
That last story almost brought me to tears. I realize now I really need to appreciate what I have more. And thanks to all of the storytellers for sharing and making me realize this.
I was working at my school desk when my best friend got called by her mom. She took her phone, got up and walked out of class, answering the call in the hall. Now, where I sit in class is directly in front of the door. After a while, about 5 minutes, I overhear her crying her eyes out, litterally screaming "NO-". It broke my heart to hear her so distressed. What broke it even more, is that I heard that her mom got cancer. She's already in quite the situation, but in the 13 years that I've known her, she really doesn't deserve this. Nobody does. She later signaled me to come and basically ran over to her without signaling the teacher, already with tears in my eyes. I felt so bad, and I still do. Her mom has had her first chemo last weekend. I hope for the best.
Use that to be a better person, to improve yourself and find the ones of your kind, and then you finally will have a family... but please, don't give the pleasure of your failure to those who wanna see you in the ground... best of luck's sweetheart :)
Ex gf admitting she’s been loosing her sanity at as young as age 7, she hated humanity at age 6 she hated guys for calling girls weak, crybaby’s, your normal stereotype at age 6. She wasn’t even aware sexism exist, nobody told her nobody gave her any signs she assumed it all. She was told to stop crying by multiple ppl, by her sister, her friends, and her teacher. This made her bottle up what she felt, what she said made me nearly cry. She said “when I was 5-7 I was told to stop crying by my teacher, because I was really sensitive and I didn’t know how to handle being sad. So by then I just stopped crying.” You guys now how men say “girls are lucky they get to cry without anyone making fun of them.” Well she didn’t want to cry cuz she was afraid to be made fun of. She really goes through the troubles of a man sometimes As you can see her childhood was shit. And still is.
I would just tell her to see a therapist or the school counselor. It seems you're still fairly young judging from your post, so I would do my best to focus on developing yourself (your schoolwork, your health, and your hobbies) rather than feeling that you are responsible for someone else's mental health. It's not your responsibility, and it could turn into a situation like when a person is drowning and they end up drowning the unexperienced swimmer trying to save them. This is just my 2 cents based on experiences I've had in high school.
@@matthewmullin8168 no I’m worried because she’s becoming more violent because of this (and yes I we are young) and she can’t afford counseling especially because it’s expensive and her mom is the type to think kids can’t be depressed
@@YingLing read my comment again. There's plenty of free resources. She can talk to her school counselor or a trusted teacher who could advocate for her to her parents. It's best for your own sake not to get dragged down in other people's problems and let an adult handle this. Just direct her to the resources I mentioned.
@@matthewmullin8168 this is kinda where I need to explain the adults in Aria’s life, they don’t give a shit (sorry if offensive but they really don’t) over and over Aria has tried getting help but the adults just tell her “people have it worse.” “Stop being dramatic.” She has no trust towards adults now, and I don’t know how to get an adult’s help without them saying “kids aren’t depressed.” And then saying we’re dramatic children. And even threaten to share this info online for blackmail if we don’t stop “faking depression” Edit: also I’m the only one who takes care of her
"The neighbor watched and said it was heartbreaking because she saw I was terrified" And, yet, she didn't feel the need to call the police or interfere in any way
That one was so sad. I hope she is doing better and I'm honestly surprised that she still has contact with him I would have cut ties with him if that was even possible...
I’m a waitress at a local sonic, we had a boy (around 14 or so) come in with his mother and father for lunch. i had already noticed the [mental hospital name] wrist band on his arm and just decided to shrug it off. the boys mother began to argue with the boy and his father, shortly after she stormed out. i overheard the boys father saying that his mother is insisting they take him back to [mental hospital name] and he just broke down in tears. i had experienced something similar when i was his age and it killed me. i hope he’s alright now
@@NicholasEzclapz how in the hell do you know that?? You're *feeling.* You're *hoping.* You're *wishing.* We don't -- we *can't* -- know what transpired between the three of them before the quick snapshot observed by the waitress. *For all we know,* the father might have been an enabler, and the mother the truly compassionate one who wants the boy to stay in and get truly healed.
Back in 7th grade I liked this girl and I told her, she didn’t have the same feelings. During lunch me and my friends(including her) just went to a class to make up some work and when we finished we just talked. I decided I was tired and wanted to take a nap, so I went to another table as to not disturb anyone and about 5 minutes later they were talking about how awkward it was how I told the girl I liked her. It takes me quite a while to fall asleep so I was still awake with my head down listening. Then they started talking about how bad they all felt for me. Except they didn’t say my name they just pointed and I could feel everybody staring at me behind my back. They started saying how it’s a “little sad how he thought he can get with you” never brought it up and pretended like I didn’t hear it. And about 3 months later I had a surgery in my meniscus as I tore it. We were in class and everybody had already left except me because I was in crutches and a little slow and my crush who I still liked just because she finished her test a little late. The teacher had left and she had walked up to me as I was about to walk out the door, blocking it. She said in a quick sentence “I think I have a crush on you” my heart bounced immediately but I felt it was a trap so I just looked in confusion pretending I didn’t hear her. She then said almost a second later “just kidding!” With a big smile. Can’t believe I ever gave my attention to that fucking devil
I relate to the very first one about the mom and the little boy. Whenever me and my siblings would visit our dad, he would always go to a liquor store to get beer. We would always beg him not to because it's not good for his health, but he would always give excuses like "Only this time and then no more" yet he continued to get beer whenever we visited.
The last one really hit me in my feels, because it reminded me an awful lot of how it was at my moms house. For back story, my dad and mom split up when I was 3, dad got custody (Thank god) and I got to see my mom on alternating weekends. Every time I went over there I got a sample platter of ways that life could be so much worse. I once watched a man get murdered over $30, things got pretty bad, but I never said anything. My mom was a BIG drug user, it's what she spent all her money on, thanks to her abusive boyfriend, who got her into them in the first place. Mom and her boyfriend had two girls, my half sisters. These two girls weren't as lucky as I was, because I was able to go back to my dads after 2 days of eating almost nothing, they had to live with an abusive dad, a drugged out mom, no food on the table, and only had a roof over their head 70% of the time because my mom couldn't keep a job. I knew all of this, but I didn't know of any real way to help. when I was 8, my mom disappeared, and I didn't hear a word from her for 3 years. at the end of those three years I got a call from my mom, and I still remember it like it happened 30 minutes ago. Long story short, my mom went to prison, lost custody/visitation rights of all her kids and spewed some bullshit about it being all the governments fault (She was super manipulative, I only recently realized that) There is a bright side to this story though, my sisters were sent to live with one of the greatest guys I ever met, my moms boyfriends dad. To this day I still feel glad knowing that they're safe. As for my mom and her boyfriend, I haven't heard anything from or about them. To me it's just easier to imagine they're dead, because I know it'd be easier than any other alternative path they'd likely choose. anyways thanks for reading lol, just thought I'd get it off my mind :) (BTW I'm doing great, I've taken my moms situation through life as a perfect example of what not to do, and I'm living with my dad, so everything's okay)
@@yipps1171 Mom lost custody of Op and Op was sent to live with dad. Dad was great. Op would be sent to mom's house on weekends. Mom was a drug addict and had an abusive bf. Mom and abusive bf had kids together. They barely had any food. Mom keeps losing her job. Mom went to prison later and talked about some bullshit about the government. Daughters were sent to live with abusive bf's dad (who is a great guy).
The kid with the banana really broke my heart in pieces especially the line when the parent said:”I never wanted to kidnap a kid so bad”. I hope that mom is in jail now
I overheard one of my cousins tell my mom over the phone that my grandmother(we were VERY close) had passed away. This was RIGHT before Mid-terms in 9th grade. It was about a week and a half before Christmas and we had just got done celebrating my sisters birthday when I had heard it. I bawled my eyes out when I heard it, and it put a damper on the rest of the year where I just kind of shut down, and didn’t really talk to anyone for a while, It took almost two months for my friends to get me to do something even resembling a smile, looking back at it now, I am greatful for my friends, and appreciate them for relentlessly getting out of my sulky attitude and getting me back to my old happy self.
On my way back to my house from the grocery store, I had to stop because of heavy traffic, so I just pulled over and took a smoke break, then I saw a little girl with her parents crying, telling them that she was hungry, but it seemed that they were homeless, and that little girl made my heart melt, gave them all 315 dollars worth of groceries
I remember hanging out with my boyfriend when we overheard her mom on the phone, saying his cancer not responding to treatments was the reason she started doing drugs. At this point she was really messed up and I saw his smile fade slowly after hearing it. I hugged him and sang a little so she wouldn't notice his unstoppable crying. I hope both of them are doing better
My twin and I were 9 years old when my mother said "I regret marrying your dad, but my worst regret is having you two." My brother moved with my dad and i'm still with my mom going through depression. She doesn't love me but I stay with her because I don't want her to be lonely. She constantly tries to kick me out the house and threatening me but now I have a little baby brother and I don't want to leave him.
Take your baby brother and get the hell outta there. Go with your twin and your dad. You don't deserve to live like that and, most importantly, nor does your baby brother! If she really doesn't love you she won't fight for custody. It's worth a try!
My dad once told me, “If you weren’t my daughter, I wouldn’t like you.” and my mom has told me she’s hated me so many times throughout the years, i can’t even remember when the last time she told me she loved me.
We dont choose our parents. I cant say I understand what you feel. But its not how you were brought into this world but what you leave behind. Make sure you dont become like them, learn from this. You can always ask for help if it becomes too rough. I have no idea if youre underaged if so call the right authorities and if not cut off contact with them despite how hard it might feel. None of this is your fault though, some people arent mesnt to be parents. Dont think any less of yourself.
for me, it was probably my mother saying “I dont want you in a relationship you’re not happy in” . A few years ago, my father had cheated on my mother. It was a huge scene. Cops were involved, and my mother was planning a divorce. But, she couldn’t get one since she wasn’t financially stable. Because of this, my parents stayed together and my father soon came back in to live with us ( my mother got a restraining order on him, so he wasnt home for a while ) . They would argue a lot and looked like they were getting tired of each other. About 2/3 years pass, and everything’s somewhat normal. somewhat, because my mother is now always suspicious of my father. Despite this, i thought they were finally on good terms, and both were happy. I was in the car with my mother and two sisters, on our way home, when my mother, my older sister and I start talking about our future, my mother giving her input. I don’t exactly remember how the conversation went, but it was to a point where my older sister and mother were somewhat arguing, and my older sister said “you just dont want us to live the same life you do” and my mother replied “I just dont want you being in a relationship you’re not happy with” , implying the relationship her and my father have. It broke me realizing this. I thought they were on good terms, but now I knew my mother wasn’t happy. Sticks with me to this day.
Both my parents died when I was young and everyone in my family always said bad things about them, so I was really ashamed to talk to anyone in my family the more I grew to understand what they said my parents did (they only remembered the bad things, never the good ones). I decided I'd do good all my life so I'd be good enough for my family, studied at the best school and got accepted into the best university in the country for my major (i was first place). Then I went to my cousin's birthday party feeling I'd be able to finally socialise with everyone, then my cousin who grew up with me didn't want to introduce me to his friend [he also wasn't accepted at the same university] and I overheard my aunt saying I was too full of myself. Never wanted to go to another family party again... ever
Don't worry, there are many people who's willing to take you in as their family. You are a good person and don't deserve that hardships. I hope you are doing okay
“I can’t believe he actually believes I love him. I think he’ll be jealous I said I love you to you and actually meant it.” That was what my ex told my friend.
I heard my mom on the phone with my dad. I was in the hallway, waiting for it to end so I could go and set my baby brother down on the bed with her. There was a long pause the last time I walked through, so I figured I could go on in. As I was handing him off and turning to go, I heard my dads voice break on the phone and said "I know you don't want me there and you hate me." I booked it and cried on my bed. Never have I felt more sad and guilty in my life
It’s nice that the people who told these stories actually tried to do something about the awful things they saw. It proves that there will always be good people in the world, no matter how many terrible ones there are.
When i overheard my mom tell her coworker say that she wished i wasn't the father of my son and that my wife would leave me and move back to her home state over 8hours away and leave me..jokes on her as we are all moving out of state in a few months and she will very rarely see me or my son after that.
Sorry, but ur comment confused me at first. I thought at first you said "my mom said to her co-worker that she wished I wasn't the father of our son" and was like hold up and had to reread it then read the rest to realize I had confused myself🤣
The one about the little kid who told his friends mom that his mother didn't love him broke my heart...I'm glad that she took him in and treated him as her own child all those years. God bless her, a true angel on earth. She made a world of difference in that child's life
Call me crazy but I think you should have to meet certain criteria to have a baby. Certain level of income, stable job, a place to live, not be an alcoholic or drug addict etc. otherwise that kid will have a shitty life.
To everybody who may find a chance to change a person's life for the better: Please do it. That split-second decision you make to help them will shape their future. Please, don't be a coward, and do what's right.
@@fionanaray9205 well i was unable to message my friends and was talking to this girl who didnt have the apps i used so she was kinda sad that i didnt message her for 2 weeks and then i never messaged that kid again as he started to say things that didnt even make sense and then he would claim to smash his head off of a wall yet he woud keep pkaying and wont turn his mic off so you could hear everything like bruh
for me the thing that broke my heart was to hear a mother telling her child that he "was just a piece of shit and that he should never have been born" ... I was the child
My sister said "Why should I be rewarding you for doing something you should already be doing?" I have never forgotten that, and recently has been ringging in my head every time I think of my nephew.
The one about the girl having a brother torture her when their parents were out: They should have put him away he's obviously showing sign of a sociopath who will start hurting people
One time I've overheard my mom tell her friend that she had depression a long time ago, when I was just few years old, and she would have probably killed herself if she didn't have me to take care of. I've been through some really tough times myself, but even just the thought of how she'd feel if I did something to myself is enough of a motivation to live.
I overheard my ex-husband telling his gaming buddies that he was tired of me crying and bitching the time. He wasn't nice to me, my in-laws were horrible to me, and I felt stuck. Our daughter was stillborn, and 8 years later I still cry for her. I guess it hurt so much because all I ever did was try to make him love me how I thought I should be loved and gave him everything I had, and in the end I was just angry and bitter, and didn't care any more. I was blamed for the divorce by a lot of people around me, even though he packed up his own belongings, and went back to his mother's home. I never told him to go, but it was all my fault. All of the gas lighting, all of the threats made toward me, all of the hate I received from his parents, it was apparently all my fault. I don't miss him, but it still hurts. It's been 3 years since he left, but I don't trust anyone, and don't really fell a need to show anyone the kind of care I tried to give him during our marriage. I try really hard because I'm in a relationship with the man I hope to marry one day, but I worry about giving too much because I don't want to be in the same situation I was for 6 years.
Me too buddy. I know how you feel, she was trying to be quiet but the walls were thin and i heard every sob. My mom is going to therapy once a week now and is feeling alot better, i hope yours is too!❤
We need more good people like these. I was abused until I moved out. Now my mother and sister want me for my money, but there's no way in hell I'm giving them a single penny
I’m ready to go out to prom and was listening to the one about the boy w the drug addict mom and non-committed dad when I burst into tears. Now I have to fix my mascara mess. Gosh it was heart breaking
i didn't overhear this, my mother said it right to my face. I was in 7th grade, and I have an older sister who was in 10th. She was under a ton of stress, she had a project due the next day and had done very little due to other assignments. My parents were always strict about getting all A's, and since I did that I was the "golden child". Well, my sister had to skip out on a family activity because she had to work on the project, and my mom flipped because she want her to go to the family thing. My sister ran to her room, and afterwards, I asked what happened because I was in the bathroom upstairs and they were downstairs. My mom immediately went off about how she was so selfish, and dumb, and how I had to fill the spot left from her. That was a lot, considering the fact that I had always gotten the impression they liked her better, because she was an amazing artist. Another unrelated incident, when I was around 9-10, I overheard my dad talking to his bestfriend on the phone. Please keep in mind that my family was not rich, but we weren't poor at the time of my birth. I had a few things wrong with me when I was born that required surgery and a shit ton of meds. He said exactly these words, "If we had had max (my real name) first, I don't think we would've had another child!" This crushed me, and the problem was, I have an extremely long and vivid memory. I do not forget ANYTHING. This helped me achieve grades my sister couldn't, by the way. That fucked me up in my teenage years, because i remembered that stuff, and made me have 3 failed suicide attempts. Anyways, in the end, me and my sister were both big, fat, disowned, disappointments, because we are both girls, and we're both gay.
I hope you see a therapist about this. However, you being associated with big medical expenses says more about America's healthcare system than any fault of your own, so on that front, you can ease your subconscious feelings of guilt.
Hey, I might be late and not that good with encouraging words and stuff. But I hope you're doing okay, and that your sister and you are very valid. I can see that we have a similar situation, and I know how bad it really feels, with seemingly toxic parents. I couldn't do anything to help you and sister but I'm wishing you all the best. How are you doing these past few months? I hope you everything goes better for you. If you need anyone to talk, just reply to this comment, please stay safe! ^^
That woman who adopted that one kid with the neglecting drug addicted mother and distant non committing father is a saint and I just wanna say that I wish there were more people like that in the world
I was getting my hair cut. My 15 yr old son was with me. Another customer told her son, who was sitting there also, that the day all her kids turned 18, they will come home to their bags packed and waiting for them on the porch. I turned to my son and told him I loved him and that he could live at home as long as he wanted.
You're a bad parent (soft and enabling), and have jumped to a conclusion, since you don't know whether it's because the other parents are cruel and heartless, or because the boy is mean & cruel, sociopathic, etc, etc.
@@RonJohn63 If you're willing to throw your child out of the house at age 15 for any reason, you're a shitty parent. I'm so sorry this person offended you by having a fucking heart.
The single mom with the adopted kid : I hope you will have everything you want and need , I hope you will life 200 years happy and I know you will be a very good grandmother
I think the most heart breaking thing I've heard is my mom, shouting she'll call the police because of my abusive dad, (but don't end up doing it finally) or screaming because she's scared of my dad hitting her. Those scared screams are way worse than anger screams. It is horrible to hear your own mom scared of that man who is your dad.
The po po wouldn't of done anything as the wife is his property like a cow. I don't care what the "laws" say - po po don't do nothing. If they actually did anything this world would be a safe place. And then after he spend only one night in jail, IF they take him, he agrees to anger mgmt. blah, blah, blah and due to the embarrassment of that ordeal, if he doesn't kill your Mom, he will beat her within an inch of her life. Your Mother didn't call because she wanted to stay alive for you and knew the truth about the po po and society at large doesn't care about Mothers and their children. Boys will be boys!!!
When I was younger I would usually jump into the fight and hit both of them. My brothers would always fight and make my mom cry and get my dad angry I noticed everything I know I was similar to them but I fought to try and fix things. I always fought everything was my fault so I tried fixing anything that happened in anyway possible. It worked for me. I would use the fact that I'm their child against them to fix the situation. I tried my best now I always act like that and it gets me in big trouble nowadays.
I was in class and I overheard this girl telling her friend that even though she knows that she’s skinny and isn’t overweight she’s still self conscious because everyday for 5 years her dad is fat shaming her and telling her she needs to exercise or lose weight It was pretty sad. Maybe not the most heartbreaking thing that is in this vid or around but to think that she is forced to think that way
When I was 1-3 years old I had an alcoholic mother and father that abused my half sister. They were also drug addicts and I went to a foster home. They didn’t care about me and ignored me if I was crying. I went to another one and they did the same. Now I live in New Jersey with my cousin who is now my dad. I still have trust issues to this day but am glad I have a home.
Damn. I'm sorry you had to go through all that, but now you know what kind of shitty person or parent not to be. Do not follow your old "parents" tracks. Be someone your kids can look up to. We shape into a person through these hardships. I want to quote Fullmetal Alchemist on this: "There's no such thing as a painless lesson-they just don't exist. Sacrifices are necessary. You can't gain anything without losing something first. Although if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you'll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle. Yeah... a heart made Fullmetal."
"Now don't talk to them like that, or they might end up like me" - I overheard a shy girl saying this to her friend in high school. This friend was not a terrible person, but was on some edgy phase and used to make fun of the appearance of younger kids. The shy girl was hands down one of the nicest persons I've ever met, but quite sad and insecure. Edgy girl went silent and then babbled something, I don't remember. I do remember her confusion and I think she was a lot better after that. So at least there was a lesson learned.
gonna share my own story since I don't have reddit: I help out at daycamps over the summer in my area. We had a kid come and was really misbehaved, at one point I told him that he needed to be nice to the staff and other kids. Kid started bursting into tears, saying that mommy would lock them outside and make them sleep in the cold if they got sent home again. Absolutely just destroyed me and I hope that kid was able to get out of there.
Every child deserves a parent, but some parents don’t deserve a child.

Not to mention bad childhood means bad future for them. Sad part is If they get a mental breakdown people will call him or she crazy and not offer help. Poor people who just end up in the asylums because they won't offer help.

I never wanted children myself and I can not see myself as a father. Stories like this still make me cry a little. I feel so very sorry for them.
Several years ago in my teens I was going to the store in summer and down the road next to the store was a building in which mostly poor families lived. I heard slapping and a little child crying for his mom to stop hitting him. It did not as I walked by.
Another time I was at a tattoostudio and all the artist and I were out having a smoke. A woman with two children walked by. They were around five years old. the little boy asked if he could have ice cream from the next door ice cream parlor like all the other kids standing in line. She hit him square in the face splitting his lip and his nose bled just telling him to shut the fuck up. No one said a word, but everybody stood up. The girls took the kids for an ice cream and the guys took their mom around the corner to "have a serious conversation". It did not take long to get CPS on her. The guys told me, they saw the kids again but with a different lady and they were way happier. They took them for ice cream when ever they came by. Don't want to know what was going on at home if she dealt with them this way in public.

I hope he was able to grow up and be ok.

We were almost home tho, we stopped due to a car stopping us(No, it's not a police car) my mom was waiting for the car to move but, it just didn't. So my mom tried to go around the car. He then started yelling at us accusing us "hitting" his car. He was banging on our window car. I was so scared I started crying. My mom then started to call my dad. When my dad arrive, the "man" started to act innocent as if we are the one who banged on his window. My dad took a photo of his car plate & insisted going to the police station.When we arrived, the "man" didn't showed up. Luckily for us, my mom's work friend worked there now apparently. We told him his car plate and everything he did. My mom's friend then started to insist us to go to another police station to do some contracts. Even though we are "safe" I would always remember that day.

There was a kid at my school who was really smart. Over time, I realized that his parents severely punished him if he got any grade that was not an 85 or above, and if he ever got a B in his class, he would be grounded for the rest of the year. I had a science class with himin middle school. He was talking to the teacher and he found out on the day that grades were due that he was two points short of an A. He had no way to raise his grade either. Since I sat next to the teacher's desk, I overheard that he forgot a homework assignment one day and had a zero. At the end of the day, I gave him a homework pass I found in my backpack that he could get rid of the zero with. He gave it to the teacher before she left and he got an A. So I guess that's my story.

I was working at my school desk when my best friend got called by her mom. She took her phone, got up and walked out of class, answering the call in the hall. Now, where I sit in class is directly in front of the door. After a while, about 5 minutes, I overhear her crying her eyes out, litterally screaming "NO-". It broke my heart to hear her so distressed. What broke it even more, is that I heard that her mom got cancer. She's already in quite the situation, but in the 13 years that I've known her, she really doesn't deserve this. Nobody does. She later signaled me to come and basically ran over to her without signaling the teacher, already with tears in my eyes. I felt so bad, and I still do. Her mom has had her first chemo last weekend. I hope for the best.

Ex gf admitting she’s been loosing her sanity at as young as age 7, she hated humanity at age 6 she hated guys for calling girls weak, crybaby’s, your normal stereotype at age 6. She wasn’t even aware sexism exist, nobody told her nobody gave her any signs she assumed it all. She was told to stop crying by multiple ppl, by her sister, her friends, and her teacher. This made her bottle up what she felt, what she said made me nearly cry. She said “when I was 5-7 I was told to stop crying by my teacher, because I was really sensitive and I didn’t know how to handle being sad. So by then I just stopped crying.” You guys now how men say “girls are lucky they get to cry without anyone making fun of them.” Well she didn’t want to cry cuz she was afraid to be made fun of. She really goes through the troubles of a man sometimes
As you can see her childhood was shit. And still is.
I would just tell her to see a therapist or the school counselor. It seems you're still fairly young judging from your post, so I would do my best to focus on developing yourself (your schoolwork, your health, and your hobbies) rather than feeling that you are responsible for someone else's mental health. It's not your responsibility, and it could turn into a situation like when a person is drowning and they end up drowning the unexperienced swimmer trying to save them.
This is just my 2 cents based on experiences I've had in high school.

I’m a waitress at a local sonic, we had a boy (around 14 or so) come in with his mother and father for lunch. i had already noticed the [mental hospital name] wrist band on his arm and just decided to shrug it off. the boys mother began to argue with the boy and his father, shortly after she stormed out. i overheard the boys father saying that his mother is insisting they take him back to [mental hospital name] and he just broke down in tears. i had experienced something similar when i was his age and it killed me. i hope he’s alright now
Sadly, the boy might have needed to be in the hospital.

Back in 7th grade I liked this girl and I told her, she didn’t have the same feelings. During lunch me and my friends(including her) just went to a class to make up some work and when we finished we just talked. I decided I was tired and wanted to take a nap, so I went to another table as to not disturb anyone and about 5 minutes later they were talking about how awkward it was how I told the girl I liked her. It takes me quite a while to fall asleep so I was still awake with my head down listening. Then they started talking about how bad they all felt for me. Except they didn’t say my name they just pointed and I could feel everybody staring at me behind my back. They started saying how it’s a “little sad how he thought he can get with you” never brought it up and pretended like I didn’t hear it. And about 3 months later I had a surgery in my meniscus as I tore it. We were in class and everybody had already left except me because I was in crutches and a little slow and my crush who I still liked just because she finished her test a little late. The teacher had left and she had walked up to me as I was about to walk out the door, blocking it. She said in a quick sentence “I think I have a crush on you” my heart bounced immediately but I felt it was a trap so I just looked in confusion pretending I didn’t hear her. She then said almost a second later “just kidding!” With a big smile. Can’t believe I ever gave my attention to that fucking devil
Thats horrible
DRoidzzz
You should’ve hit her with one of the crutches.
She's a bitch, she doesn't deserve your attention.

The last one really hit me in my feels, because it reminded me an awful lot of how it was at my moms house. For back story, my dad and mom split up when I was 3, dad got custody (Thank god) and I got to see my mom on alternating weekends. Every time I went over there I got a sample platter of ways that life could be so much worse. I once watched a man get murdered over $30, things got pretty bad, but I never said anything. My mom was a BIG drug user, it's what she spent all her money on, thanks to her abusive boyfriend, who got her into them in the first place. Mom and her boyfriend had two girls, my half sisters. These two girls weren't as lucky as I was, because I was able to go back to my dads after 2 days of eating almost nothing, they had to live with an abusive dad, a drugged out mom, no food on the table, and only had a roof over their head 70% of the time because my mom couldn't keep a job. I knew all of this, but I didn't know of any real way to help. when I was 8, my mom disappeared, and I didn't hear a word from her for 3 years. at the end of those three years I got a call from my mom, and I still remember it like it happened 30 minutes ago. Long story short, my mom went to prison, lost custody/visitation rights of all her kids and spewed some bullshit about it being all the governments fault (She was super manipulative, I only recently realized that) There is a bright side to this story though, my sisters were sent to live with one of the greatest guys I ever met, my moms boyfriends dad. To this day I still feel glad knowing that they're safe. As for my mom and her boyfriend, I haven't heard anything from or about them. To me it's just easier to imagine they're dead, because I know it'd be easier than any other alternative path they'd likely choose. anyways thanks for reading lol, just thought I'd get it off my mind :)
(BTW I'm doing great, I've taken my moms situation through life as a perfect example of what not to do, and I'm living with my dad, so everything's okay)
TL:DR? (Sorry)
@@yipps1171 Mom lost custody of Op and Op was sent to live with dad. Dad was great. Op would be sent to mom's house on weekends. Mom was a drug addict and had an abusive bf. Mom and abusive bf had kids together. They barely had any food. Mom keeps losing her job. Mom went to prison later and talked about some bullshit about the government.

I overheard one of my cousins tell my mom over the phone that my grandmother(we were VERY close) had passed away. This was RIGHT before Mid-terms in 9th grade. It was about a week and a half before Christmas and we had just got done celebrating my sisters birthday when I had heard it. I bawled my eyes out when I heard it, and it put a damper on the rest of the year where I just kind of shut down, and didn’t really talk to anyone for a while, It took almost two months for my friends to get me to do something even resembling a smile, looking back at it now, I am greatful for my friends, and appreciate them for relentlessly getting out of my sulky attitude and getting me back to my old happy self.
I cried at the little boy who was hungry and his mom didn’t let him eat
some people really do not deserve to have kids
I laughed
On my way back to my house from the grocery store, I had to stop because of heavy traffic, so I just pulled over and took a smoke break, then I saw a little girl with her parents crying, telling them that she was hungry, but it seemed that they were homeless, and that little girl made my heart melt, gave them all 315 dollars worth of groceries
I remember hanging out with my boyfriend when we overheard her mom on the phone, saying his cancer not responding to treatments was the reason she started doing drugs. At this point she was really messed up and I saw his smile fade slowly after hearing it. I hugged him and sang a little so she wouldn't notice his unstoppable crying.
I hope both of them are doing better
That lady who adopted the young lad, what a fucking HERO, I don’t think I’m ever going to forget that story. So sad but heartwarming.
My twin and I were 9 years old when my mother said "I regret marrying your dad, but my worst regret is having you two." My brother moved with my dad and i'm still with my mom going through depression. She doesn't love me but I stay with her because I don't want her to be lonely. She constantly tries to kick me out the house and threatening me but now I have a little baby brother and I don't want to leave him.
Oh well sad story but i hope ur bro gives u love u deserve
she doesnt deserve you nor the mental exaustion you are going through for her. please dont feel guilty
Take your baby brother and get the hell outta there. Go with your twin and your dad. You don't deserve to live like that and, most importantly, nor does your baby brother! If she really doesn't love you she won't fight for custody. It's worth a try!
You should both leave honestly. She obviously treated you like garbage, it's only fair that you return the favor.
You and your baby brother deserve better than her
My dad once told me, “If you weren’t my daughter, I wouldn’t like you.” and my mom has told me she’s hated me so many times throughout the years, i can’t even remember when the last time she told me she loved me.
We dont choose our parents. I cant say I understand what you feel. But its not how you were brought into this world but what you leave behind. Make sure you dont become like them, learn from this. You can always ask for help if it becomes too rough. I have no idea if youre underaged if so call the right authorities and if not cut off contact with them despite how hard it might feel. None of this is your fault though, some people arent mesnt to be parents. Dont think any less of yourself.
Sad, my dad called me ungrateful and my mom cusses at me you had it worse
my mom said that shit to me too
So many people have horrible parents, I’m lucky enough to not have bad parents but I feel really bad for those who do.
heyitsbrooke same
for me, it was probably my mother saying “I dont want you in a relationship you’re not happy in” .
A few years ago, my father had cheated on my mother. It was a huge scene. Cops were involved, and my mother was planning a divorce. But, she couldn’t get one since she wasn’t financially stable. Because of this, my parents stayed together and my father soon came back in to live with us ( my mother got a restraining order on him, so he wasnt home for a while ) . They would argue a lot and looked like they were getting tired of each other. About 2/3 years pass, and everything’s somewhat normal. somewhat, because my mother is now always suspicious of my father. Despite this, i thought they were finally on good terms, and both were happy. I was in the car with my mother and two sisters, on our way home, when my mother, my older sister and I start talking about our future, my mother giving her input. I don’t exactly remember how the conversation went, but it was to a point where my older sister and mother were somewhat arguing, and my older sister said “you just dont want us to live the same life you do” and my mother replied “I just dont want you being in a relationship you’re not happy with” , implying the relationship her and my father have. It broke me realizing this. I thought they were on good terms, but now I knew my mother wasn’t happy. Sticks with me to this day.
Both my parents died when I was young and everyone in my family always said bad things about them, so I was really ashamed to talk to anyone in my family the more I grew to understand what they said my parents did (they only remembered the bad things, never the good ones). I decided I'd do good all my life so I'd be good enough for my family, studied at the best school and got accepted into the best university in the country for my major (i was first place). Then I went to my cousin's birthday party feeling I'd be able to finally socialise with everyone, then my cousin who grew up with me didn't want to introduce me to his friend [he also wasn't accepted at the same university] and I overheard my aunt saying I was too full of myself. Never wanted to go to another family party again... ever
Don't worry, there are many people who's willing to take you in as their family. You are a good person and don't deserve that hardships. I hope you are doing okay

I heard my mom on the phone with my dad. I was in the hallway, waiting for it to end so I could go and set my baby brother down on the bed with her. There was a long pause the last time I walked through, so I figured I could go on in. As I was handing him off and turning to go, I heard my dads voice break on the phone and said "I know you don't want me there and you hate me." I booked it and cried on my bed. Never have I felt more sad and guilty in my life
thats so sad omg T-T

It’s nice that the people who told these stories actually tried to do something about the awful things they saw. It proves that there will always be good people in the world, no matter how many terrible ones there are.
The mother who adopted the son who was being neglected deserves something. She didn’t even hesitate to accept him when his father asked
When i overheard my mom tell her coworker say that she wished i wasn't the father of my son and that my wife would leave me and move back to her home state over 8hours away and leave me..jokes on her as we are all moving out of state in a few months and she will very rarely see me or my son after that.
Dude… damn. I wish you and your familx all the best, man.
Why would your parents (no matter if father or mother) not be supportive of you being one?? Cut all contacts with her, she’s rubbish
Sorry, but ur comment confused me at first. I thought at first you said "my mom said to her co-worker that she wished I wasn't the father of our son" and was like hold up and had to reread it then read the rest to realize I had confused myself🤣
The one about the little kid who told his friends mom that his mother didn't love him broke my heart...I'm glad that she took him in and treated him as her own child all those years. God bless her, a true angel on earth. She made a world of difference in that child's life

One time I've overheard my mom tell her friend that she had depression a long time ago, when I was just few years old, and she would have probably killed herself if she didn't have me to take care of. I've been through some really tough times myself, but even just the thought of how she'd feel if I did something to myself is enough of a motivation to live.
I overheard my ex-husband telling his gaming buddies that he was tired of me crying and bitching the time. He wasn't nice to me, my in-laws were horrible to me, and I felt stuck. Our daughter was stillborn, and 8 years later I still cry for her. I guess it hurt so much because all I ever did was try to make him love me how I thought I should be loved and gave him everything I had, and in the end I was just angry and bitter, and didn't care any more. I was blamed for the divorce by a lot of people around me, even though he packed up his own belongings, and went back to his mother's home. I never told him to go, but it was all my fault. All of the gas lighting, all of the threats made toward me, all of the hate I received from his parents, it was apparently all my fault. I don't miss him, but it still hurts. It's been 3 years since he left, but I don't trust anyone, and don't really fell a need to show anyone the kind of care I tried to give him during our marriage. I try really hard because I'm in a relationship with the man I hope to marry one day, but I worry about giving too much because I don't want to be in the same situation I was for 6 years.
I overheard my mom in her room when she had a complete mental breakdown.

I’m ready to go out to prom and was listening to the one about the boy w the drug addict mom and non-committed dad when I burst into tears. Now I have to fix my mascara mess. Gosh it was heart breaking
i didn't overhear this, my mother said it right to my face. I was in 7th grade, and I have an older sister who was in 10th. She was under a ton of stress, she had a project due the next day and had done very little due to other assignments. My parents were always strict about getting all A's, and since I did that I was the "golden child". Well, my sister had to skip out on a family activity because she had to work on the project, and my mom flipped because she want her to go to the family thing. My sister ran to her room, and afterwards, I asked what happened because I was in the bathroom upstairs and they were downstairs. My mom immediately went off about how she was so selfish, and dumb, and how I had to fill the spot left from her. That was a lot, considering the fact that I had always gotten the impression they liked her better, because she was an amazing artist. Another unrelated incident, when I was around 9-10, I overheard my dad talking to his bestfriend on the phone. Please keep in mind that my family was not rich, but we weren't poor at the time of my birth. I had a few things wrong with me when I was born that required surgery and a shit ton of meds. He said exactly these words, "If we had had max (my real name) first, I don't think we would've had another child!" This crushed me, and the problem was, I have an extremely long and vivid memory. I do not forget ANYTHING. This helped me achieve grades my sister couldn't, by the way. That fucked me up in my teenage years, because i remembered that stuff, and made me have 3 failed suicide attempts. Anyways, in the end, me and my sister were both big, fat, disowned, disappointments, because we are both girls, and we're both gay.
I hope you see a therapist about this. However, you being associated with big medical expenses says more about America's healthcare system than any fault of your own, so on that front, you can ease your subconscious feelings of guilt.
i hope u do well though i cant do anything
Hey, I might be late and not that good with encouraging words and stuff. But I hope you're doing okay, and that your sister and you are very valid. I can see that we have a similar situation, and I know how bad it really feels, with seemingly toxic parents. I couldn't do anything to help you and sister but I'm wishing you all the best. How are you doing these past few months? I hope you everything goes better for you. If you need anyone to talk, just reply to this comment, please stay safe! ^^

I think the most heart breaking thing I've heard is my mom, shouting she'll call the police because of my abusive dad, (but don't end up doing it finally) or screaming because she's scared of my dad hitting her. Those scared screams are way worse than anger screams. It is horrible to hear your own mom scared of that man who is your dad.

The po po wouldn't of done anything as the wife is his property like a cow. I don't care what the "laws" say - po po don't do nothing. If they actually did anything this world would be a safe place. And then after he spend only one night in jail, IF they take him, he agrees to anger mgmt. blah, blah, blah and due to the embarrassment of that ordeal, if he doesn't kill your Mom, he will beat her within an inch of her life. Your Mother didn't call because she wanted to stay alive for you and knew the truth about the po po and society at large doesn't care about Mothers and their children. Boys will be boys!!!
When I was younger I would usually jump into the fight and hit both of them. My brothers would always fight and make my mom cry and get my dad angry I noticed everything I know I was similar to them but I fought to try and fix things. I always fought everything was my fault so I tried fixing anything that happened in anyway possible. It worked for me. I would use the fact that I'm their child against them to fix the situation. I tried my best now I always act like that and it gets me in big trouble nowadays.
I was in class and I overheard this girl telling her friend that even though she knows that she’s skinny and isn’t overweight she’s still self conscious because everyday for 5 years her dad is fat shaming her and telling her she needs to exercise or lose weight

The story about the little kid and the banana Had me crying, that woman didn’t deserve a child.
When I was 1-3 years old I had an alcoholic mother and father that abused my half sister. They were also drug addicts and I went to a foster home. They didn’t care about me and ignored me if I was crying. I went to another one and they did the same. Now I live in New Jersey with my cousin who is now my dad. I still have trust issues to this day but am glad I have a home.
Damn. I'm sorry you had to go through all that, but now you know what kind of shitty person or parent not to be. Do not follow your old "parents" tracks. Be someone your kids can look up to. We shape into a person through these hardships. I want to quote Fullmetal Alchemist on this: "There's no such thing as a painless lesson-they just don't exist. Sacrifices are necessary. You can't gain anything without losing something first. Although if you can endure that pain and walk away from it, you'll find that you now have a heart strong enough to overcome any obstacle. Yeah... a heart made Fullmetal."
"Now don't talk to them like that, or they might end up like me" - I overheard a shy girl saying this to her friend in high school. This friend was not a terrible person, but was on some edgy phase and used to make fun of the appearance of younger kids. The shy girl was hands down one of the nicest persons I've ever met, but quite sad and insecure.
Edgy girl went silent and then babbled something, I don't remember. I do remember her confusion and I think she was a lot better after that. So at least there was a lesson learned.
gonna share my own story since I don't have reddit:
I help out at daycamps over the summer in my area. We had a kid come and was really misbehaved, at one point I told him that he needed to be nice to the staff and other kids. Kid started bursting into tears, saying that mommy would lock them outside and make them sleep in the cold if they got sent home again. Absolutely just destroyed me and I hope that kid was able to get out of there.
ngl I teared up at the mom with the adopted son.
