I disowned my father 20 years ago because he moved me and his gold digger girlfriend and her two kids in together. He gave me a room just big enough to fit a twin size bed in and a dresser. I still treated her two boys, who were only 10, 11 and me being 20 my father's youngest, like they were my little brothers. I took them out to play baseball, football, rollerblading and so on. But their mother bad mouthed me being a bad influence because all I did was sit on my computer all day (despite working 40 hours and having paid off one of my father's cars, paid it's insurance and installed remote starters in both) but all she did was lounge around all day drinking and popping pills. The last straw was when he threatened to kick me out if I didn't buy "the car" off him for the remaining 8,000$ of my inheritance from my grandmother. I had thought he meant the car I had paid off and signed the pink slip in anger and paid him as I started looking for a new place. It wasn't till the next day when I couldn't find my keys that I noticed he had left the keys for her beater of a town car. Looked at the title I had signed and it was for that pos. I told him to go fuck himself and his gold digging girlfriend and took my computer and few things and drove down from near the Maine boarder to Boston were a friend lived... found out how much the car was because it was sputtering and having issues. Pulled into a mechanic shop and the guy did a quick look and showed me the cracked engine block, it needed a whole new engine. It thankfully got me to my friend's place. (still ended up homeless because his roommate tried blackmailing me into paying his rent.)

The very disparate (in time) updates, alongside nothing going exactly in his favour as a matter of course when OP had been relying on that being the case (like some stories have revenge-plots that _need_ components of them to go _just_ right), does make it rather plausible. Add to that how OP was mainly reactionary and the story felt consistent, too. Granted, there were portions that felt somewhat embellished/biased (like his accounts of how horrid they had been to him as a kid), but that is honestly to be expected (and kinda made it seem more likely someone's actual account of events). And even those things are stuff I have knowledge actually _do_ happen irl at times, so might not [biased]. The main issue I have making it seem like it might be fake, is the extreme the family went to when they broke into his house and such (even forging fake documents - which btw any competent cop would bag as possible evidence). Hard to see how they could think they would get away with it, what they actually hoped to achieve, and how parents able to try and do that could then expect him to ever reconciliate.

Yeah, this story is not only believable but also common too. And the most common "character" in the whole story is SIL. The girl that finishes college but then realizes she never wanted to work, tries getting a traditional role but then off shores all of her work load to older generation around kids while still spending money, and especially popping out kids every few years to keep out of work is so common. It's actually so common that it's basically an archetype of a character, instead of "one off", and I personally know few of them. It's really sad when people don't know what they want in life and then end up pulling everyone down with them. If she honestly strived for being a good stay at home mom and used all those years she wasted on college to acquire cooking/cleaning skills and then set out to find a guy who wanted 4-5 kids and such wife, she could've had happy life and make someone's life equally happy. Instead she spent those years acquiring worthless degree she won't use and more horrendously, a lot of ego about it. A lot of people do this and it always results in overall unhappiness around them.

because reddit "true stories" are creative writing exercises for ragebaiting at this point, and writing believable fiction is the goal for such a purpose. Characters are archetypal, story follows a perfect arc, with character development and plot twists, happy endings, and most importantly regular updates. The story even opens by addressing the veracity of itself, and keeps insisting it isn't 10 copypasta reddit posts glued together.

Shoutout to the Employers who let him park the camper in the backlot, man. Without them, not only would we not have gotten this amazing story, but OP's family would never have seen "That Bitch" for who she truly is. I'm glad reconsiliation is in the cards for the family, and I truly feel apologetic for Dan, who likely experienced some form of Ego Death through all of the revelations that occurred throughout the story (ranging from reading the perspective of his older brother through the reddit posts, seeing how his Ex-Wife manipulated and took advantage of his previous narcissism, down to her outright cheating and then blaming his older brother, and everything in between). Things seem to be looking positive, and from there, as much as I want an update to keep my drama-driven brain satisfied, I actually REALLY hope that we don't get any more updates, because ending off where we are now, no news is good news, aside from the car egging situation.

Frankly, OP was a better person than I would ever be. I would've cut ties with someone like Dan, never help him nor even be friendly. Because notice how Dan never apologized for being shitty towards OP, he only called himself "shitty" as in his taste for women. He never applogized for acting haughty, for being evil, for acting entitled...he's still too prideful.

That is true, but Im hopeful that words of apology, taking responsibility and repair will come in time. But maybe like his father he also needs to develop new behaviours to connect with his brother in a healthy way. When growing up you learn different patterns and as long as they work all is fine and dandy. Problem begins when it turns out these patterns aren't good in the long run, but without alternatives you will repeat the old patterns out of lack of choice. Therapy is an important part to help people with this no matter if they are the abuser of the abused. I've worked with plenty of people that have experienced abused, helping them finding their own maladaptive behaviors and then learning to break them and create adaptive behaviours. It's not easy, but it is possible. And when it comes to anger management progress can often be surprisingly fast just by getting one or two alternatives to blowing up in anger and getting a basic understanding of where the anger comes from.

Not once we're those kids actually thought about.

Oh my god... Dan got a redemption arc. I can't believe it. I agree that his wife's infidelity and seeing himself as a youtube caricature acting out his horrific behaviors was enough of a punishment for him, especially since it was paired with actual effort to be better. But the the wicked bitch of the east (SIL) hasn't quite fallen far enough from grace for me to be satisfied. At least she doesn't get to inflict her horrible, unchanged personality on those kids anymore. I'm glad this story had a good ending overall :)

There are two types of people that go to church. Those who are genuinely good people, know that they sin through simply being human and aspire to be better than they were the day before. They help everyone around them and try to make everyone around them be as comfortable as possible. Then there are people like OP's family. They know they are wicked people and are unrepentant. They know where they are going when they die and they are hoping keeping up appearances will earn them a spot. I'm more like a combination of OP and the former. I don't like going to church because I'm surrounded by protestants and they freak me out. That said, I try to treat everyone around me with kindness and if I can help, I will. I don't have very much, but that will never stop me from offering someone a place to stay, literally offer the shirt off my back or offer someone something to eat or drink. I'm not looking for validation or praise, just offering my two cents. God will ultimately judge me in the end.

Some people do it like that, and as others said for some people it can be the first step of introspection. In this case it seems to be the latter since they seem to make efforts to change behaviours and take responsibility. Just talking about these things with people from the outside is important in situations like these, both for the ones doing the abusing and the ones being abused. Without an external frame of reference just about anything could be considered normal. Which is why I can see the progress of wakeup that OP describes. It rarely happens fast and all at once, often there is a build up and then it can come a tipping point where things suddenly happen fast. Kinda like bending a piece of twig where there's a lot of nothing happening on the surface but tension is building up inside until it finally snaps.

Honestly the real bad guys are the parents, if they had raised dan right and equalized them, dan might’ve turned out way better.. if he had better influences then he would’ve turned out fine. He seemed genuinely sorry as the story went on. So did the parents.
