My Dad Used My Mom's Mental Health Against Her

Ойын-сауық

Today on Unfiltered Stories, our guest is Albert Grieve. Albert grew up in a very tough environment where her mother struggled with mental health and his dad was very cruel towards her. In a couple of instances, Albert had to actually lie to Child Protective Services because he was afraid of his dad who used his mom's situation against her. Now, he uses his voice to spread awareness about protecting children in troubled homes.

    I would love to share mine! Born in Russia our mom’s boyfriend killed and chopped up her at the time boyfriends and threw him in the side of the road then pushed our mom off of our 3rd story apartment our mom off. I remember turning the corner of our building and seeing our mom on the ground. There’s so much about living on the streets in Russia then the orphanage and getting adopted by an alcoholic abusive American who used to call us her slaves that emotional and physical abuse was so bad my brother eventually committed suicide. I’m good now I have two wonderful kids whom I am overprotective of haha and I got to go through everything with my blood sister! ❤

    In this day and age law enforcement in Canada are doing the same to me and my children Whenever a domestic violence incident occurs in our home my Nigerian partner will lies and nothing is done about the situation, he beat up my 16 year daughter and broke up hand the RCMP(911) was called, but when this very tall manipulative man speaks out his lies. The four police officers believe him over the actual victim 😢😢the amount of abuse i and my four children had suffered and still suffering is insane. Since I was in silent 9 years and I did not speak about the abuse to anyone in my circle, now that I said I’m no longer going to live like this anymore he got almost everyone against me. He says to them I’m not mentally stable for throwing away the beautiful life he has given me.

    He said why that never happened, the authorities were scared to deal with his dad. People in the apartment complex, would have been more scared to get involved, and probably had their own situations to deal with too. Even the women's shelter was powerless against him. My situation as a kid was less dire, but we were brain-washed to toe the line out of true fear. People who have not ever been in so helpless a position, can not really understand, how hopeless you get, when everything you tried is useless.

There's NO EXCUSE for what happened to this guy and the fact that NO ONE came to take these kids (*when they were kids*) away from that sadistic, abusive environment is just sickening all around! I find it VERY HARD to believe that ONE ugly, white, pasty, piece-of-worthless-shit dude put that much fear around authority, no less! This man (*the storyteller*) is biracial and even though he didn't say it, the fact that his father was white and his mother was black - that very well probably played a role in this as well! A white man's word against a black woman's word! I've been abused and helpless and taken against my will too! So I get it! What this guy went through was unacceptable! His father is the epitome of an abuser, gaslighter and manipulator! He deserves to be murdered in the EXACT SAME MANNER of which he killed his children's mother! And the cops and the hospital should be sued for MILLIONS for abusing and traumatizing the mother, forcing medication down her throat and hurting her even more! I feel for the mother DEEPLY, minus the abuse she inflicted on her son herself!

There always have been far more that government agencies could be doing to assure there is a full spectrum of assistance given.

    My family praised my father for being present, "in the home" and "strict" and "tough" the community praised him too.. something i realized in adulthood is that grown men who regularly abuse children are displaying a lack of respect for boundaries. We (my siblings and i) had no agency or autonomy for our bodies and we were just objects. Men like that are ALWAYS R4p1sts!!!! They're showing an inability to keep their hands to themselves and an absence or respect or value for others (narcissism)

    The lack of seeing or caring about a child's (or partners) boundaries is alarming. I used to have to get onto my kids Dad. Them being a kid and us being the parent doesn't equate to them having no rights and you owning them. A guy I know now has zero sense of what boundaries are with me and also is prone to anger outbursts. I'm trying to gain some independence so they can both suck it! It sucks when things are used to control or gain others trust over you. I'm surprised there aren't more Lorena Bobbits out there honestly

Anyways he would beat us all up and my mother then eventually molested my sister. As an adult, i am very aware now of how a male acts around kids, especially if they are strict and don’t regard kids as humans because those are likely to be the ones to break boundaries with children!!

    I'm unsure if you will ever read this comments - but, as a complete stranger, I'm so happy that you did not make that final step to end your life. You are incredibly strong and articulate sharing your past experience, not allowing it to define who you are today, and becoming the husband and father, that your father was not. You are very factual with what occurred, what was done, and you don't use it to blame, but to show the gaps and missed opportunities that various agencies disregarded. I'm sorry that your mother was not believed, that an emotional victim is treated like they are delusional and instead, the calm articulate abuser is believed over and over. It's incredible that your mother actually survived as long as she did, as I don't know if I could have done it, being berated, abused and distrusted for telling the truth and trying over and over to get help. The family photo that is shown throughout the video shows your father as a smiling, happy family man. A wolf in sheep's clothing, so to speak. I wanted to say that I hope that your siblings have also healed from this trauma, but then I realized that is not how life is. It's not something that is "finished". It is something that survivors experience every day, as it is part of who they are, decisions made, and triggers and flashbacks can occur without warning. It isn't something that can be put in a box and a pretty bow and put away on a shelf. I think that is something people often forget. Stories such as yours, can make people uncomfortable- we don't know what to say. We don't want to trivialize of course, we can't really empathize as every single survivor's experience is their own. But, to provide you with a forum, a way of sharing your history, uninterrupted, I think is the most respectful and honest way that we can learn from your perspective, what you experienced. I commend you for having the guts to share, and the incredible fortitude to change your future. That despite your experience, you did not continue the violence, and abuse. I just think that people such as yourself, that share their story, and who grow into changing the narrative, and changing the future history of your children... I really am in awe, because I don't think you realize how amazing it is, to become exactly the opposite of everything that you were taught and experienced your entire developmental years. Thank you for this, and for stopping the cycle and giving to your children something that was robbed from you, something that was not modeled to you. And thank you to this channel, as I think allowing these incredible people to share their experiences and journey with us. It really shows class and respect when it is all about that individual, no guided or influenced narration to make it anything other than their story to tell.

This never happened and the only Mark on her was a faded bruise on her leg. I had to go through counseling and parenting classes in order for me to get my children back. It was several weeks before I got them back, and that was with no abuse present. It blows my mind that with all of the incidents and signals, the father was able to talk his way out of everything.

    I wonder considering, this looks like the late 80s early 90s, if race played a role-with the mom being African American with a history of mental illness and the Dad being an articulate white man he could easily convince police and social services that the mom was crazy, as well as coach the kids

    That person at the hospital that made a seemingly small gesture that made a lifelong impact…this is why it’s so important to be kind to one another. You have no idea what someone is going through and something you said or did for them that you forgot about the next day could be a kindness that person remembers for the rest of their life. As a childhood trauma survivor, I too have those moments in my life where I wish I could have thanked that person and told them what an impact their gesture had on me.

    Why do people sat You "had" to go through that? He did not have to, but unfortunately he did. He was subjected to horror, he did not "have" to go through it at all. It was not his actions that put him there, he only had to make hard choices to try to survive, he was deathly afraid and had no other way that he knew of, to deal with it. Sorry for ranting, but had to is the wrong word, he was "put through that" by someone's actions, "had to" sounds more like it was for his own good that his dad chose to act that way for his benefit. That is just a nasty way of thinking. Like parents that say you'll thank me later, when their choices are obviously unreasonable, and destructive.

    As I watch him, I'm finally able to cry over my childhood which mirrors his. He is part of the system now so he refuses to hold the agencies accountable because it's part of his programming and they excuses themselves with a weak excuse of "we were too busy, how were we supposed to know". He speaks as if so far removed from his experience and you can tell towards the end the reality of it all was trying to burst through but he has buried it deep and along with his childhood programming, he maintains his composure. This is how I am to this day. It was 'a normal part of life' for me, the more I talk about it, it goes from it's all I knew and normal to me to an almost panic and rage and heartbreak over how everyone failed me and my sister and mom. Another thing I noticed is how he kept using the phrase "had sex with" in regards to his father raping his sister but used rape and molestation in regards to himself. This is another programming of his father's to make it look like the siblings wanted it or deserved it and they were weaponized against each other by this narcissistic father. The failure of CPS / Law Enforcement/ the Mental Health Institutions, is a systemic issue but also pure laziness, they come to collect paychecks only. However this man is trying (just as every abused child turned adult does) to put a happy ending onto a terrible story. Women get with men who mimic their father's treatment towards them, men get with women who mimic their mother's treatment towards them and in his case, he got into a system that will still fail him. They didn't protect him as a child, guaranteed by his explanation and excuses given, they had excuses to explain why they never were able to protect his mother, himself or his siblings. So he believes it, forgives them as "well it's not really their fault" when it IS their fault and failure and above all it's THEIR JOB to ensure this doesn't happen. This whole thing is simply heartbreaking all around. I pray for him and his wife and children. This episode hit too close to home.

    Exactly Unfortunately there are some sick Women who think that every Caucasian man is better than any other race. Anybody of any race can be abusive, neglectful, and mentally ill. I have a very close friend that is from the Philippines She grew up very poor but was always intelligent. And a hard worker, her family encouraged her to marry. A blonde hair, blue eyed Caucasian man from America. And she did when she got here. He beat her abused her, made her work. Double shifts everyday took her money. And then made her pretend that everything was okay for fifteen year's When she would call the police. They would tell her that He was a good American guy And that he was in the military prior they would not even Write a proper report. So yes, sometimes people use their race to their advantage. But everybody gets upset when you bring that up.

    I'm sorry Albert. You were failed over and over again. Thank you for sharing your story and showing your light. Even through all of that, I can see your light wasn't extinguished. Thank you for sharing your love with the world

    Thank you for sharing your experiences of DV and child abused. I think what happened within your family highlights the disturbing fact that women and children are not believed. And the abusers are adept at manipulating the system and suppressing the voices of those abused.

    When it came to the authorities, racism clearly played a major role as well. Just sad

    I am literally in shock and this is truly the most disturbing story of someone’s life I have ever heard. Absolutely dismayed. May God bless this young man and his siblings. I just cannot believe how many times the system failed this family.

    Your so right. I thought I knew horror stories. This sounds like something straight out of the 17/18 hundreds (slave story type thing)

    I am so sorry to hear that you and your siblings went through that. I wish your mom was able to get away sooner.

    2:44 "strangling in the air" means feet off the ground and your body dangling while your throat squeeezed while demanding eye-contact. Abuse where abusers demand eye contact is very dark and i hope they pay for their heartless brutality, day-in day-out on their children, sunrise sunset. These kids did years of time locked up with true monsters. My mother was 6 foot. It's a terrifying childhood where you can never relax and be liked for just being yourself❤
