Edit: ah, looks like they did what I said. And it went about as well as I could have predicted. It makes me sad that I scoffed when it was written that Amy said they would run away together because they were in love. She’s still so young and I’m not surprised she’s allowed herself to become so deluded by him. If I were OP, I would show her his tinder profile and matches and say, “you’re not the only one. I’m not saying it to hurt you, I just don’t want you to allow yourself to be hurt by this horrible scumbag you claim loves you so much. Don’t build him any altars.”

Paul actually can potentially face criminal repercussions even if the physical part of their relationship only started after she turned 18; this is text book grooming and easily provable at that because Amy admitted that he was a mentor until she was 18 when he became "her lover". "Grooming is not necessarily a crime, but it is a legal gray. Once grooming becomes sexual conduct, it becomes a crime punishable by law. Grooming behaviors may manifest differently but generally follow a pattern to commit a criminal act later."

@cmlemmus494

2 ай бұрын

Actually, I tried to see if minor debt might be a thing in other countries and from a brief search it doesn't seem to be. The closest I could find was a 1947 legal essay about the validity of inherited debts and whether the "Infant Relief Act of 1874" (infant meaning under 7 years of age) applied to older children. There was also a mention of Roman legal concepts which may have carried into civil law. None of this applies to OP's situation, but my thought is that given OP's parents are clearly crazy and possibly drug-addled, it's entirely possible that they went down the Sov.Cit. rabbit-hole at some point and found the concept in there. Sov.Cits. tend to be "traditionalist" in a way that they could easily think that children are responsible for their parents (eg, we raised you so you would take care of us and if you don't do that then you owe us).

Story 1: For the China thing, this is based on a "Elderly Rights" law passed somewhere in the early 2010s to make sure kids visit/check up on their aging parents. There's a lot of BS tied to it because they don't define things like how often they should visit, what counts as a visit, and whether or not the major holidays are a requirement or should count as a visit.

@@Kalossupremacy3356 Elder abuse is not common. There's often extended families living together to support each other, even in the cities. However, there's a cultural expectation that the children are supposed to take care of their parents when their parents are older. The one who is expected to perform this duty is the youngest daughter. But if they don't have a daughter, it's the youngest son. A big part of why this law was passed was because of the work/school expectations often left the kids unable to visit home. Schools often go for about 8 to 9 hrs a day for 6 days a week. If they live in the rural areas, they often end up dorming closer to the city once they get out of primary/grammar school. This starts as early as 5th to 6th grade (10 to 11) and often lasts for at least 5 to 6 yrs. It's only if they fail to get into college or fail to find work in the city that they return home. If they do find work, then the 6 days a week cycle continues and vacations only occur during major holidays like the Chinese New Year.

Looking super young since about 13 when I was supposed to start looking older, I've also dealt with my fair share of cops and random adults who wanted to always take my parents side and treat me like a whining 5 year old. I've actually seen it done to others, too. The infantilization of 20 somethings is ridiculous.

Story 2: Even if he waited till she was a legal age, there is nothing that's going to convince anyone that he didn't groom her first. Even the naive 18 year old doesn't believe they're in love with someone without there being some sort of ongoing relationship, especially since she has been provided proof that he's not in love with her and she won't believe any of it. I honestly wish I could tell OP or the mom to let slip to the cops that the man who has recently under investigation for having an ongoing relationship with a minor is still in contact with this person and is still meeting up with her. But the more anyone tries to stop it or makes her resist, the more she'll push away from everyone. All I can say is I hope one way or another she realizes this isn't love, and hopefully after the investigation is over they'll have enough to convict him without her testimony or interference.

Story 1 : I'm afraid to say that the "More serious cop" in the story might have been by obligation only and not duty. Cops cannot refuse a complaint you're filling. They "advise you" to not do it sometimes because it would actually be detrimental to you with the court process, but most of the time, it only translate to "Please don't give me more work that I don't want to do.".

2: Husband is a certified creeper

That last story. Yikes. That has definitely been going on before Amy turned 18. Just think about it. How much does it take to warp someone’s views on love and people around them to that extend? It can’t have been a quick thing

There's obvious signs that Amy was groomed the whole time, so she is a victim, BUT she's also a snake because she did all that behind her boyfriend's back because she knew what she was doing was wrong. I just wish she had common sense to realize if her and Paul are in love, then why do everything secretly? Why cheat on your boyfriend in secret? Honestly, if Amy's mom kick her out she would definitely TRY to stay with the cheating husband Paul, and if he's smart, he would try to hide the fact that she's living with him. If he doesn't accept her then he will send her back to her mom's because he knows it would not only look bad, damage his case even more in the divorce, and possibly kickstart an actual investigation on him. But there will come a point that she will be sick of having to "hide" and come out with the truth, so in the end, her mom's best bet is to kick her out. Mary is handling her thoughts and emotions correctly. She is feeling, expressing what she's feeling, realizing why she's feeling that way, asking others what happened to see if her feelings are valid, and protecting not only her mental health through what's going on but validating others as well. You rock but please give yourself time to rest and cry as well! Eric is experiencing shellshock and I'm sure there are plenty of moments that he feels this can't be real, but he still has the fortitude to go get checked and get therapy. I think he's more than likely ruminating to the past of interactions and conversations that were obvious that he missed. I am hoping the therapist can show him that both his ex and his dad are to blame for this, and that's it because it could be the start of his woman hating era. Other than that, good luck Eric, you got this! O.P. in this has handled herself well. The shock and denial is normal, but she continued to keep calm and look for more evidence to prove she wasn't crazy. She is well aware of what her son's feelings could be like and looked for the best time to reveal whats happening and what's going to happen. Especially when she picked up her kids, they both knew something was wrong because O.P. has such a strong and genuine bond with her kids. She even has compassion for Amy in realizing that she is also a victim. O.P. is going to be even more amazing even before she met that gross cheater after the divorce. As for Paul, he'll probably learn not to mess with kids in prison but his life is over. Trash.

The amount of groomer husbands on Reddit is insane

Story 2: I've heard of this story before and there's definitely grooming involved based on Amy's behavior.

Sadly for Amy, she'll likely get her reality check when she 'ages out' of this creep's preferences, after investing so much time, 'love', and energy, etc. into him, and after alienating her support network. Or, worse, he could well marry her to be his new beard as he ends up treating her like he treated OP while continuing to pick-up super-young barely legal/illegal minors to prey upon. I truly hope she figures it out before then. But, the level of resistance she has to even consider the idea that he is the wrong person for her suggests otherwise.

Jeez I can't even begin to imagine how crushing this all is for Eric

That debt sounds like they never wanted to have op and that he was a burden to his parents

Story 1 : theory is the first cop op got was friends with op parents which is why he didn't give a rat about the op problem.. Story 2 : WTH how can 1 stab his son and wife in the throat like that ?.. Update : sheesh op hasband has a massive S addiction and he watched that one ridiculous movie ( forgot what the name was called ) that was all humping and BDSM stuff.. Update 2 : of course paul the coward is gonna call the only one whos scared of him and not someone who doesn't fear him and could possibly put him in a bag.. once amy comes to her senses dont let her back into your sons life op.. Update 3 : amy mom has to throw her out the house shes a goner.. nothing can be done..

I feel bad for her but I also don't at the same time

"They have a right to recall all money spent raising me" What? Based on what? What law is this? Who thought this even sounded real? Who decided to have a kid? Did the kid choose to be born? Did the kid choose you as parents? Did the kid have any say in their upbringing? Parents like this don't deserve oxygen.

As I've seen in the comments, Amy's reactions and comments definitely screams grooming. So id definitely bet that something has been going on a lot longer than was said.

In story 2, I think Paul is a pedo, but he keeps on the legal side of statutory grape. Amy has been groomed and it will take some serious growing up for her to realize the nonsense that she went through before she turned 18 the prepared her to "be in love" with Paul.

@@Codm22712 I don't know about that. I suspect China would still side with the parents. And as I said, I agree this sounds like America where none of this is in any way legal but also like I said, the parents seem to have some very un-american views of the law. I strongly suspect they are Chinese or Croation or something. Somewhere that actually does have those kinds of laws and customs. A lifelong American adult doesn't come up with this crap unless they are incredibly stupid. No American would believe this for a second

The first story reminds me of my mom. She started threatening to kick me out at like 13, forced me to get a job at 15 (literally filled out applications for me and made me sign them under duress), all because I owed her for taking care of me when she never wanted kids. By my senior year of high school I had two jobs, wasn't allowed to keep my paychecks and frequently had my transportation to work and school threatened as coersion. Even now, she'll do "favors" for me, then demand hundreds of dollars in compensation because I owe her. Don't be that parent. It fucks your kids up for life.

Story 2 someone needs to check his laptops hard drives because something tells me there may be some CP on there why else would his "world be collapsing around him"

When Amy was saying he was her mentor and role model, all I could hear was “Groomer. Groomer. Groomer.”

Used to be the other way around, at least in New York State back in the '50s and '60. If your adult children ended up on welfare, the State could come back on you to support them. Mom's long term BF (they were together eleven years) at the time got hit with this. So he transferred most of his assets to his business partner. Later, when he tried to get his assets back from the business partner, she just laughed at him. He ended up renting his own farm from her. Dude just couldn't win.

The mom needs to start locking her door and keeping an eye on Amy, the delusions mixed with her anger at feeling like she's being separated from her "love" could make her dangerous. And the fact that he was able to groom her so easily, he could convince Amy to do whatever it takes to save their "love."

The second story I’ve heard before. It gets more and more insane. That poor wife/son. Glad they eventually get therapy.

Stories like that last one are why i believe the cheating party in a marriage should get absolutely nothing in a divorce. I dont feel bad for amy either. When i was 17/18 I would have known not to get with my girlfriends married mom. Its wrong on so many levels.

The first story anecdote reminds me of the court case of the young lady who was given up for adoption and became successful and then later on her parents sued her for adult maintenance cost or adult parent child support and I believe they also wanted her to help take care of the son that they kept the court rule that she did have to pay the parents maintenance cost, but she didn’t have to take care of the brother, but I think if a parent gives a child up for adoption in this case they shouldn’t be able to come back and then reap the reward of maintenance when they didn’t even maintain the child to begin with altogether, it was messy situation

I dont know about China,but here in Croatia you can be sued not just by your elderly parents,but idk their neighbours if they see that your parent is sick,cant move,cant feed themselves properly...You either have to take care of them personaly or get them into a nursing home,because thats neglect of an elderly parent/neglect of an injury in an elderly parent.

Nearly every country on Earth is going to have to implement such a law, since governments the world over are bankrupting themselves with their aging populations drawing more from social security/pensions/retirement plans than there is money going into the system from employed people.

Something tells me the ex-girlfriend on that second story was definitely groom by the poster's husband probably from the time that the Sun introduced ex-girlfriend to OP and of course the ex-husband in the situation as well because no teenage girl is going to act that way about being caught having a relationship with a full grown man unless they've been groomed into it or they're taught that dating someone older is okay and even then that is still a form of grooming so thank goodness OP have the decency to expose her husband and also the ex-girlfriend to the parents about her behavior because clearly she's going to need a lot of help to understand that the affair that she was groomed into having with the ex-husband is not a healthy relationship you should ever have with somebody in general even if she was let's say older even then it's not right to think it's okay to destroy a family like shame on the husband 100% in my opinion and sadly the ex-girlfriend really does he know but those are my thoughts

@wingracer1614

Just want to point out that while this case absolutely sounds like grooming, it is not unheard of (uncommon but not non-existent) for a teenager to become obsessed with someone older even in the absence of grooming. Point being, your statement that no teenage girl would act that way is false. It's rare without there being grooming or some sort of sexual abuse taking place but not never.

Story 2: What a horrible man and an even worst husband and father. It’s bad enough to cheat on your wife with someone so young, but to make that person that you cheat with your SON’S GIRLFRIEND?????? I have no words for how disgusted and heartbroken I feel for OP and her family. Her son was betrayed by the two people he deeply cared for. He is supposed to be able to look up to and talk to his father about so much…then this happens?? I definitely also agree that Amy has been severely groomed because if she’s 18 and has this much loyalty to Eric’s father, then this took place when she was at LEAST 15. Remember, Eric and Amy have been together since their freshman year in high school. May OP and her kids heal from this catastrophic situation, especially Eric. The best thing to come out of this is that the dad was exposed for the pervert he is and he is away from Mary and her friends. Hopefully one day Amy will see the light. She loves a very bad man and a future with him will only end in heartbreak for her and loss of precious time.

I have a friend whose dad gave his kids a 'bill' detailing every extra curricular activity they took... horse riding lessons, ballet lessons, music lessons etc. He said they had to pay him back or they would be cut out of his will(and yes, he had money).

2nd story guy deffinitly a p word, and wouldnt be suprised of there are more victims

Based on my personal experience, the way Amy is acting definitely adds up with their relationship starting before she was 18.

Probably got promoted

So OP’s parents in the first story was hoping to use a made up “law” in order to use their adult child as an ATM and squeeze them and their brother of every cent they have or made! The parents’ entitlement is beyond disgusting, seeing their own kids as objects to use for their selfish and greedy needs are just that! I hope OP and their brother’s families cut all ties from this toxic set of parents! Because if they tried to get their kids’ money AND stole OP’s car in a failed attempt at “blackmailing for money”, then who knows WHAT they’ll do to the rest of the family!

the sad thing is I've heard a ton about 'Debts of a minor'. it's an abuse tactic out and out. The times I hear it come up are parents trying to keep control of their kid. 'oh, you're leaving our control, PAY BACK EVERYTHING FOR US RAISING YOU!'. Kids don't owe parents anything for being born

I feel so bad for the wife in story 2. In the first few lines, she partially blames the marriage on her "aging badly." Unless your marriage was built on sand to begin with, how you look as time, health, and pregnancy take their toll should have little impact on your marriage, unless you just intentionally do something like have atrocious hygiene. Everyone ages, and how "well" you age is largely out of your control. It's also completely subjective. She said she has aged badly and feels guilty for it, and those types of feelings usually come from outside first. My guess is her husband has been criticizing her appearance for a long time and just wanted to use it as an excuse to cheat.

I notice so many cheating stories where the couple are married but the person being cheated on doesn't call their cell provider to collect all phone messages in the last 2 years or more depending on how long they keep them on record.

2nd story: This is gold for a lawyer. And you know it's bad if this thought crosses your mind.

Omg when I was 18 and when any older guy tried to talk or flirt with me, I'd get nervous, not flattered. Jc the level of delulu this kid is in 🙃

Story 1: reminds me of a case in China where some abusive parents sued their kid for money and won.

Amy is acting exactly like I was acting when something like this happened to me. The "he can't do anything wrong" mentality gets old eventually. Or it doesn't. It's really scary for those who care about you because the more they try to make you realize, the more you go back to the person gr00ming you. But they don't want to leave you in this situation until you realize because it could take years.

More than likely the reason their logs from before she turned 18 are completely deleted is because they started before that. If he was "just a friendly figure" before that there would be normal and innocent conversational history from that period. So where is it? More than likely they started sooner and when she turned 18 he convinced her to delete the logs and pretend it started then because "other people wouldn't understand our love". She was groomed hardcore. And the fact that she goes to a catholic school probably made that a cake walk for him.

I’m 18 and I like “older guys” (20-24) which isn’t ideal but if a 48 year old man that I’ve known since high school wanted to “get to know me” I’d be DISGUSTED. That is foul.

Of course you had to release this today, when I just read the story this morning lol

PSA - I've seen people repeatedly report that if you file a CIVIL lawsuit against people who've stolen something, it can sometimes spur particularly stubborn police precincts into action. Probably because something genuinely illegal happened, and now it's about to be on open record. It may not help everyone, but it might help some folks.

That first story sounds a lot like what a scientologist would say. "Debt of a Minor" really sounds similar to what happens if someone was raised in that cult and leaves.

Second story: I completely believe the husband waited until Army was 18..................................... to delete all incriminating evidence.

Yep same.

My brother (27 at the time) met the mother of his daughter when she was still 15. When our mother tried relaying to our sister that they waited until she was 16 (age of consent in Canada) before getting sexual, she was like "Bullshit" before our mom could even get the words out of her mouth.

Unfortunately, Amy will learn the truth about Paul once she’s older and he’s looking for a new victim. By then she’ll likely realize too that it wasn’t a lover she’s been looking for, it’s a father figure, which just makes this all so much worse. 🤦‍♀️

I’ve recently discovered that some parents have the audacity to start romantic relationships with their children’s partners… why oh why. Also I’d love to see rSlash react to the cesspool of cringe that is r/AgeGap

"Because if it comes out that they were before she turned 18 he'd be going to jail" more like the morgue. He comes across as incredibly spineless and it never ends well for people who go to jail for child related crimes. Also, theres no way he wasn't grooming her since she started dating his son, the fact she latched this violently to means there has to have been years of grooming and emotional manipulation going on

Story 1: In Brazil you can do the same and also if you are a child taking care of your parents, you can sue your siblings to make them responsible to help you by taking care or paying you for your services. But if the child prove that they were mistreated or were abandoned then they don't have any obligations.

Story 1: I would've loved if they tried to sue OP for "debts of a minor".

I (18f) feel for Amy, I know how vulnerable you are at this age even tho you tend to justify yourself by saying that you "are an adult". Feelings can be so strong and hard to control, even more so if a power dinamic is involved... I hope she listens to her mom and gets out of the situation

I feel so bad for amy… that kind of grooming takes a lot of time to realize that you were a victim. Im sure it doesnt help that everyone is “against” her, but there’s likely nothing that will go through to her right now

it's really cool how this mother cares about her children's feelings

Last story I was in a very similar situation about 12 years ago, my ex's mother was having an affair with the landlord, the dad found out, went to never wake up land by his own hand, she then broke it off with the landlord followed by him targeting her daughter (my ex) This stuff can get real messy

"Does anyone believe he actually wanted until she turned 18?" Yes. Because a dumb person wouldn't have waited. An vindictive person would...

We have a law like that in México, you can sue your offspring if you cannot support yourself when older

I heard there's a way for the guy to get in trouble even if the girl is 18 so maybe OP can look into that.

Willing to bet by "aging poorly" the husband means she isn't jailbait anymore.

They might’ve deleted their texts before she turned 18, but the carrier still has those texts.

I assume your wife told you about the entitlement of the older generations, those that existed during Mao's revolution generally have no skills but expect to be looked after by the younger generation. Their behaviour is outrageous man.

If this guy gets locked up, he’ll be getting shafted in A LOT more than just the divorce

That last story is rough. And Paul needs to be investigated for grooming that girl. He hopped on her the MOMENT he could do her legally.

Story 1: I don't know where the Debts thing came from, either. Like, they chose to have children, so what's their excuse?

in the infamous words of jar jar: you-sa in big doo doo now

Rslash may not realize it, but about half the states in the US have filial laws as well. And while they aren't really something that would land you in jail, can certainly be pursued in a civil court by your parents, and more importantly, by a third party care facility if your parents are placed in one.
