Feel so sorry for him tho. He didn't want to go and maybe would have turned it around but his awful parents wouldn't give him a chance or listen.

I think that John was being pushed too hard by his parents on the acting and voice acting, and never got to have fun once. That’s understandable on John’s part. His parents were expecting WAY too much out of him, making them sound like a couple of Tiger Parents, even going as far as to force their own son to leave the university, but ALSO tried to force OP to leave the university as well, because he was a “bad influence” on John. I hope John not only moved away from these controlling entitled parents, but ALSO cut all contact and block them both! Because entitled parents like John’s parents are the reason why half of their kids are rebelling against them. “We were ONLY forcing our adult child to work harder because we expect the BEST from them, NOTHING ELSE! We just don’t understand WHY they’re not doing what we demand from them!” Because they’re not your damn flying monkeys to boss around and perform for you, they’re your KIDS, AND THEY’RE HUMANS.

Those parents are incapable of unconditional love. They see everything as a transaction, or a "loan" that has to be repaid in full with interest. Never mind that they treat their kids as nothing but their personal bank account once they are old enough to make their own income. It comes to no surprise that they pull every card they can when their kids don't automatically cough up money on demand, including but not limited to: crocodile tears, angry berating, threats of legal actions/violence or actual physical abuse.

Quick aside about that last story. Depending on where OP lives what the college did is super illegal and they might have grounds for a lawsuit. I used to be an RA in college and one thing my university stressed to us was we were not allowed to give almost any info anyone but the student as they are adults.

As someone who was an Avid Disneyland Passholder for almost 10 years before the pandemic (and before the recent lawsuit), it's ironic that the Entitled Sister says that "Disneyland is for kids". Walt created Disneyland because back then a lot of amusement parks were kid-orientated, meaning that only kids could ride the rides and the adults just kinda sat on the sidelines. He got bored and thought there should be a place where both the kids AND adults could have fun together. If anything, I've been seeing a lot more adults going to Disneyland in recent years thanks to collectible events and unofficial holidays at the park. Disneyland itself has become much more family and adult orientated, like Disney himself wanted.

Feeling bad for Jon is not a bad thing. He at least defended his roommate against his parents, up until the end. It's also likely that he fell out of his classes and acting because it's not fun to him anymore, but that's all his parents want him to focus on and they never let him have any fun on his own. They pushed their expectations on him so hard that once he was given a semblance of freedom, he used it to live a little, which cost him his grades. I can't fault him for that, but I can fault his parents. Expectations should be self-imposed, something that you set realistically so you can improve and feel good about it.

Johns parents had invested so much of their time and effort into controlling him like a robot his whole life that when he was finally given personal responsibility and failed due to lack of naturally acquired maturity, they couldn't accept that it wasn't their own failure as parents and had to find a scapegoat. He was also probably burned out so college was more or less a way to let loose finally.

He didn't know any better nor had an understanding or emotional maturity (OP stated he was a bit emotionally immature) to actually survive in the outside world. His entire life was controlled and paid for. So finally feeling some freedom he most likely wanted to do what he could to rebel, but he never balanced that he needed to actually try hard with school. When people are controlled or sheltered for most of their life, they can be overwhelmed and not have a sense of reality. He was never allowed to actually make mistakes and learn the hard lessons. He only knew that he'd get things from his parents and they'd make the troubles go away. I wouldn't be surprised if Jon's actions were a subconscious cry for help. A lot of negative behavior when developing is because of parental behavior. He was acting out because he could. I think The fact Jon continuously defended OP shows he has some good qualities. His parents NEVER accepted their son could be at fault and then went over the top with how they responded. Not only forcing him to drop out instead of letting him actually try to redo his classes, but then demanded the same of someone else. The parents are delusional and their son is unfortunately their greatest victim. I know someone who was held to a higher standard and was expected to do certain things despite not only a desire to have a different path, but an actual learning disability which greatly handicapped learning engineering programming. They continuously got angrier and pressuring higher to either be an architect or engineer, when this person didn't want to do those things to begin with. There was an emotional immaturity and a lot of mental issues because of these unfair standards. It doesn't help that other relatives were given a choice in their career paths and had their schooling fully paid for. Often times it isn't a matter of laziness, but late emotional development for having a lack of freedom in their childhood and teen years.

First story: I have a friend who is a college professor. According to the stories he tells, some parents never accept that their child is less than perfect and try to blame others. He has had the parents of second-year college students sit in his office and demand he change their child's grade. (He teaches a specialized field of physics, by the way, so the grades are strictly based on getting the right answers.)

That story with the mother getting OP's info from her college... I have worked a lot in post-secondary institutions and where I live it's federal law that you can't give out that type of information. If the student is legally an adult (true of virtually all of our students) then the school cannot even confirm or deny if the student is enrolled there, even if the person asking is the one footing the bill. Anyone who would give out that type of information would be in serious trouble not just from the employer but also legally. You can image that some parents get irate when they phone to complain about exams, grades, etc. of their (adult) children and are told the school cannot even confirm that the person is a student there. There are actually scripts printed out for the staff to read in different situations to ensure that the students' privacy, and the responding employee, are protected. It is unbelievable to me that anyone would give out that type of information about an adult even if there were no laws like that in place. As OP mentioned, how do they even know that woman is the mother? How do they know if OP wants her mother involved in her financial affairs? How do they know that the mother is not trying to harm OP? etc., etc., etc. (and in this case, all of the 'bad answers' to those questions apply). The school has a responsibility to take care of its students. Shame on the person(s) who opted to go behind the back of one of their students in favour of a random stranger on the phone.

That last story has an EASY solution… file a formal complaint about the privacy violation to the uni. That way the “scholarship” is denied AND she gets thrown in jail for fraud

I think something is missing from that last story. That’s not how scholarships work, also the reception desk wouldn’t have a lot of the info required to get a scholarship. Also, OP only has to go to the school’s financial aid office and alert them to the situation. Which he needs to do anyway as there’s the potential for fraud charges here which may come back to him

The dad didn’t even give the kid a chance to turn it around? There’s no way to know the college wouldn’t have continued to work with him either, even if he didn’t ace those two finals. What a psycho!

Kinda two months late here. But the last story, the college giving out information like that without it being approved by OP is a FERPA (Family Education Rights and Privacy Act) Violation. As a Resident Assistant and Community Director for one of the dorms in my University, this is not something you want to break because it can cause some serious repercussions for the University. OP could definitely have grounds to file some kind of suit for information being disclosed to a parent without express permission.

Scholarship story: I hope OP tries to contact the school to see if there is any way to block that scholarship money from his mom. If there isn't anyway to block it. I hope he considers sueing the school. That's a breech of privacy. That money, rightfully, should go to OP and his Dad who are paying those loans.

That last story op seems to not like conflict. But I vote they call out the school and sue for that violation. It's kinda illegal to give a student's information out to people not on the paper work. This is how kidnappings and identity theft happen.

That last story: I feel OP hard. When I was in middle school, I had to go to a special church class after school once a week with my brother. It worked like any other class/school where my parents had to leave information in case something happened. The classes were also attached to our church. It's also fair to mention that my grandfather lives in the same area and everyone in the church knows him and our family. On top of that, he's as invasive as OP's mother in the story. He always asked my mom when our classes were so he could just show up and tag along after our parents picked us up, but she refused to tell him. One day, out of the blue, my mom gets a call from the church and she's MAD! It turns out that he got the receptionist talking and got her to tell him when my brother and I had class. When he left, she realized she did something wrong as he wasn't even on our papers and called our mother to inform her. I learned a lot of colorful words that day.

I’m glad I found your page this year. Every single day, I’ve listened to your videos and they’ve helped me so much. I’m in an abusive household and your videos help me just focus on the stories and get through the day. They’ve been a huge distraction for me and now, I don’t dread cleaning (cleaning is one of the things I’m forced to do). It’s now something I look forward to as a way to escape from this place. But soon, I’ll be leaving and starting my new life away from here ❤️ thank you for all of your help ❤️❤️

I'm sorry for what you're going through. Best of luck!!

Final story i would sue the mother and the university for fraud

Dear Dabney, Nicole, Lily and Yugo, Merry Christmas. Rslash, personally and I think I speak for a whole lot of people, I truly want to say thank you for your daily videos, your soothing voice and comical way of reading reddit posts have gotten me through so many dark hours you wouldn't believe it and their have been several instances of self harm and suicide attempts in 2 1/2 yrs, caregiver burnout with not even emotional support from family, anyhow, I'm really not trying to bring down Christmas but to truly try and thank you sooo very much for the changes you've made in this world for so many people that I don't think you even realize the impact you've made. Please don't ever stop making your videos, you've become a beacon of light in what's become a horribly dark world for sooo many people we love you ❤

That last story I'm pretty sure Op and their Dad can sue the university for giving out personal information

In the 3rd story i totally agree that OP should go no contact with his parent but not before leaving them a text that calls them out for their BS and telling them that he's better without them alongside many other insults before blocking them out entirely and essentially ghosting them, that would be a sweet revenge. On the 4rst i think story OP should call a Lawyer and sue her mother, he can't let her get away with what she has done.

I agree on this. TBH, no contact without letting them know why is kind of pointless. You want them to know why so they can possibly change themselves and become a better person, even if you don't want to talk to them ever again. And, hey, if they toss out your reasons for going no contact, then their loss.

That first story... Wouldn't it have been possible to ask for attendance from both students' teachers? Even if it's at college or university level, teachers need to keep track of the students that are present, no? At the very least, someone who's skipping all of the classes they're registered to would be found out pretty quickly, while OP would be protected by his teachers saying he has perfect attendance, which therefore would give away that the ex-child star is the only one to blame for the failure.

I've worked for private schools as a teacher. It is completely within the realm of possibility that parents enable their children's bad behavior, even well into adulthood. How do you think we got Donald Trump?

Merry Christmas everyone! The cold of my house's nonfunctional heating is nothing to the warmth of a new rSlash video.

8:28 The person he cheated on her with probably didn’t know he was cheating, so when it came out that he was seeing OP, she also told him to get lost.

That last story sounds like the school violated FERPA laws which could land them in serious legal trouble. Also, OP posted an update. The "scholarship" for the mother didn't go through. OP cut off all ties with the mom.

Merry Christmas, r/Slash! This is your first one as a father; cherish it!

Christmas Rslash!! ... BONK BONK. Okay I'm done with this joke.

I feel bad for the guy. Because of that father who jump to conclusions way fast with no explanation to why. He just completely assume that it was the roommates fault.

No, the entitled parents from the first story though op was pulling a flame king from adventure time and repeatedly whispering "Evil evil evil evil" into their son's ear while he slept😂

story 1 : If that dad tried that to me while i laid in that bed he would have catched a strong spray of deoderant in his eyes and mouth. EDIT i would sent the cops and computer crime unit after them after so much harrasment.

merry christmas rSlash! wondering if you actually know who Sam Allardyce is, but his pictures are often perfect for these episodes!

500 dollars OP, I am so sorry. The one time my Mom's borrowed a substantial amount from me, she asked and made sure to be clear about what it was for and tell me that I could of course say no. It was from an account that she put money into all the time to pay for my braces (which are Uber expensive as in almost a million all together in my currency). She started it when I was like 9 years old and she'd asked me about taking a quarter million or so out to give my big sister a massive opportunity when I was like 13. I said yes and she double checked and made sure to be thankful and kind about it all. That's how you respect your children.

Tbh i fully expected John to blame op for all that, but no, after making his bed he actually did lay in it. Respect.

Merry Christmad RSlash and thanks for making every day of the year better

Merry Christmas to you and your family and your new baby Rslash😇

*last story* The OP is from Spain. The scholarship was denied and OP has cut ties with their mother. The dad bitched out the dorm administrators but didn’t sue as he didn’t want to go through the hassle.

I firmly believe that if a child is to be an actor, then the parent should not be their manager. Be present and offer guidance, but get a professional agent to handle the child's career. I've seen too many instances where child actors had their parents also be their managers, the kids grow up to be total wrecks, doing drugs, having mental breakdowns, going to prison or the psych ward, end up in conservatorships, and finally it comes out that the parents were being abusive and exploiting their children's fame for their own gain. And even if they can successfully restart their career, that stigma still stays with them. But sometimes, it ends tragically. Look what happened to Michael Jackson. The abuse he suffered at the hands of his father made him grow up to be a very troubled adult, especially when it came to children, and he finally died of a drug overdose. And I remember watching the anime Zombie Land Saga, where one of the zombies idols, Lily Hoshikawa, was formerly a child actor who was pushed too hard by her father, focusing more on her career than being a child. Finally, at a young age (as in, just entering puberty), she died from an exhaustion-induced heart attack. Her death was probably the saddest of all the zombies.

Lets go!!! Love the awesome reddit videos, gonna keep watching

Merry Christmas yall

Cheater's mom is insane. If he has nowhere to go, then maybe he shouldn't have cheated on the person he lived with? Maybe you can take him back home, mommy.

Who wants to be babysitting someone else's kids on a romantic vacation, regardless of where?! Personally, my wife & I are massive Disney fans. I wasn't allowed to watch "mindless waste of time things like Disney" growing up so my wife is the one that introduced me to it around 86 so a trip like that would be very special and very romantic for us, and for the life of me I can't imagine what a damper looking after someone else's children would be to that trip. OP, please just blow off the entitlement and enjoy y'all's trip to Disney Paris! These times are priceless!

Merry Christmas to all my friends celebrating alone this year! I love you!!!

Merry Christmas to all. Have a good day everyone! 🎅

For that last story, that girl needs to sue the university for handing out her personal information to a stranger without her consent. She also needs to sue her mother and report her for fraud. That university literally broke the law by handing out a students personal info to a stranger without their consent. OP needs to take legal action NOW. BEFORE her mother gets the first payment. Because if her mother gets the first payment, it will be extremely difficult to stop all the other future payments. She has allowed her mother to get away with this shit for too long. OP needs to grow a fucking spine and stand up for herself, before her mother ruins her life!

The last OP needs to report her mom. Mom could and should go to jail for that. It’s literally fraud. It would also be easier to go no contact, which OP should definitely do as well.

2nd story, ex's Mom should take OP's ex into her house, if she's that concerned.

Merry christler While it was jons fault, at least he defended op. That was sweet

Exactly , cheers on the dude for taking the responsibility, with his parents he could easily be on of those entitled people who always blame on others

Yeah privacy laws are only wishful thinking, or if you have enough money and time to go to court over it. Privacy gets violated all the time, odds are if someone who hates or is targeting you wants to get you, they can just call up a utility company or where you work and sweet talk the representatives on the phone and there is a good chance they will hand over all your info. I know so many people that their family members have ripped them off this way. Doesn't have to be family. Know a few people who got plain old scammed by enemies, but unfortunately I know a lot of people that feel it is ok to steal from family. It's weird that you are more likely to be ripped off by someone close to you than a stranger.

That last story is crazy, the university violated FERPA a strict ruling that you cannot give out any student information to anyone besides the student. That’s super illegal

In the last story, OP has the chance for a Malicious Compliance. Act sarcastically grateful towards your mom and ask the information for the scholarship, since you will need evidence that the funds are being used in paying your tuition. If she doesn't hand you the info and the money she might get in trouble for fraud and will get arrested. If she is doing this in your name, you might be held accountable as well, so prepare your evidence that your father is paying and your mother is the one using the money. I bet she won't be happy, but would comply before getting into jail.

I have to give Jon props for, however ineffectually, standing up to his parents about OP. He couldn't stop them, or beat them, but he TRIED. He NEVER threw OP under the bus. Poor guy. He got his very first taste of freedom, ever, and he lost it, because he couldn't control the addiction to freedom and rebellion. And at a top-tier school, too! Maybe it would have been easier at a lower-ranked school, but his parents probably wouldn't have allowed him to attend a "low class" school.

That last story, OP should definitely involve the school. If they're in the US, that's a FERPA violation. (Think HIPAA but for education.) Plus if the mom gets any funds, it *is* money taken from OP. The school determines how much OP is eligible for. The student can then take the full amount or partial. So let say he's entitled to $10k/semester. The mom takes $4k, that means instead of him having the flexibility to receive uptown $10k, he now can only get $6k. (Numbers are hypothetical and for example purposes only.)

Story 2: If Mommy Dearest cares so much about where her poor, misguided son is staying, why doesn't she have him stay with her? Surely she's at least got a couch for him to stay on for a couple weeks.

I swear, parents who try to sponge off their kids as adults are the worst. They think that since it's their child, and that they raised them, they're entitled to their money, benefits and their lives. Like who does that? Why would you choose to have a child,just so you can Rrip them off later in life? Don't you understand you're just gonna ruin your relationship with your own child?

Ok.. if Jon was a child actor, he was paid, and at least some of that money should have been invested on his behalf... what happened to all that money that he needed/qualified for any type of scholarship at all, "Dad" ? Hmmmm...?

I work in the admissions office of my university and on the first day we all went through online training. One of those trainings was all about FERPA, a US law that basically says that identifying and private information that can’t be seen by basically doing a Google search is not meant to be given out unless the person can prove they are the student or someone the student has given access to. That last story is a huge FERPA violation, based on the way I was taught about it anyway.

To the op that called love ugly. It isn't. It's misunderstood, confusing, deceptive but in some weird way glorious and magical. Humans just just keep misunderstanding what it is. But we chase it anyway because it is worth it in some way.

Mom forces ex-husband to pay for kids' college. Mom then constantly pesters kids to get money kick backs for said college payments. Dad somehow DOESN'T immediately react with the law on his side. People are not smart. Edit: WTF is wrong with that school!? REPORT BOTH THE MOM AND THE SCHOOL.

Jon's parents didn't just hold him to a high standard. The way his father was treating him is abusive. Forcing him to drop put and driving down to make him throw out his notes and textbooks, and confirming that he dropped out in person isn't normal people or parent behavior over a young adult. It's abusive Edit: hell, the way he's treating op someone he doesn't know is indicative of that abuse. The problem is he genuinely assumes he can manage op by intimidation the same way he managed his son, and he can't and the control he has over his son only works so long as his son doesn't get away from him

Last story OP should contact his universities legal department and the Dean's office STAT! Tell them that they gave OP's info out to someone who shouldn't have it and that the mother is going to try and scam money from them. If Op's mother does somehow get the scolarship money, then contact the scholarship and claim it as fraud.

The one about the breakup because of the bf cheating, the mom in my opinion was just looking forward to grandkids and nothing else.

About that last story. He and his father need to report the mother for fraud ASAP. The school needs to be threatened with lawyers. There is no way she should even be allowed to apply for that scholarship.

11:44 Sounds right to me, his mother basically called herself out for being a B. Yatch to him. At this point, he could just call out the ultimatum with the price of chairs for taking them back, since they're in his name.

If parents want those $500 chairs so bad, why don’t they give the money to her BEFORE she orders. OP needs to start enforcing that.

I had a friends family similar to John's in high school, except my friend would blame everything she did on me (drinking, having sex, not studying and skipping class). Her parents treated my mom and I horribly. It wasn't until I left for college in another state and my friend got pregnant that they realized that it was actually their daughter, that was the bad influence. It didn't change anything to this day, they still continue to blame me for their daughters bad choices and that she got pregnant so young.

My mother used to call my little brother a pig when we were kids. I think it was because of the way he ate. This was over 20 years ago, so I don't really remember the exact reason. Anyway, my little brother would just answer, and I remember jokingly asking what the mother of a pig is called. It works better in Danish because a swine or sow is called a "So," which is the same word we use for "b***h" in Danish. So she was essentially calling herself a "b***h."
