Also isnt it obvious, that many people would off themself if something like this happend? So basically its also close to some kind of attampted murder imo
My gramma was accused of murder back in the 60s and she was disowned entirely. The sad part is the guy she was accused of killing was her rapist. Someone's boyfriend found out about that guy raping girls and took matters into his own hands and killed him. My grammas innocents was proven within days but same as in the story, she still had the letter of disownment
@@10_points This sounds so unfair... Even if your grandma actually unalived that guy, it would be self-defense, not m*rder... It's truly unbelievable how her family was so quick to judge & disown her💀
Everyone’s talking about the family being so quick to disown but no one’s talking about Derick like seriously he is the absolute goat and probably prevented a suicide.
Then he just slid right in and took his wife 😡😡 makes my blood boil how that asshole got a perfect life with the girl he'd always wanted for EIGHT WHOLE YEARS before a drunken night with a fiancee brought out the truth 😢 i'm so glad that OP has a good life now...
@@dekrusone of the worst parts for me is how he beat him senselessly with no remorse. He was the one who framed him, yet still took it upon himself to punish him
Bro, the brother is actually a piece of garbage, he was willing to ruin his brother's life for a woman who was already married to him, but good on the OP for making smart decisions on this Edit: This is the most likes I've ever gotten tysm
1. Sue Henry 2. In the first part it was mentioned that Henry had feelings for Jenny so confront your parents that they trusted him more even though you warned him 3. Stick to all friends who helped you and keep them as your friends!!! 4. Let everyone in your ex family know what you are doing and how happy you are but do not include them, karma is a bitch. 5. Explain everything to your kids and to the people you want to see 6. Make a new family with Kim 😊
Too mellow he needs to Sue Henry for defamation because he doesn’t have money he will either be put in debt or jail and then ur ex parents will need to pay a lot of cash then you take the money you got from ur ex parents and you spoil ur children AND as icing on the cake right before you sue send your parents some ominous text like “you shall reap what you sow” or “I am going to make you feel what you made me feel” and then completely ignore them AND then you pretend to be some random guy and loan out money to your parents so they can bail Henry out because you “feel sorry for them” and you make a relationship with them on line so they trust you as a friend …THEN YOU STRIKE put in tiny print some outrageous detail like “the money you owe me doubles every day you don’t pay it” (I don’t know loan stuff so just bear with me) and now your parents are bankrupt your brother is in jail and you have a load of money 🤑🤑🤑
@@Thejazziestguyeverever heard of revenge bud? “Vengeance is an idiots game”- Arthur Morgan 1899 Also realistically, your so called “plan” since most likely,it would backfired a lot lmao
Sue your brother for defamation, take full custody of your 2 daughters, dont talk to your family, let jenna see the kids every saturday and dont make her pay child support
Bruh his family are all dumbasses. Not a single one of them stopped to think about why this random chick was willing to tell them what happened between her and op, but wasn't willing to go to the police and get him convicted for this very serious crime. It's almost as if they were looking for a reason to disown and shun him.
I can see this happening in my country a lot because many girls don't report SA/Rape cases most of the time, because fucking society blames the girl. This is an ongoing issue here, where many parents encourage their daughters to not report to the cops and stay silent because being raped is apparantly a 'disgrace' to the family. Maybe this happened in a country like that as he mentioned laws are very women specific too, meaning the majority of people may be heavily patriarchal and 'wanting to protect women'. However that doesn't excuse the behaviour the family showed towards him, and they should have tried to understand his point and try to find actual proof to any mistake committed. It's sad that cases like this are real, where a man was released 20 years later after being proven that he was falsely accused for rape. But one reason why they don't immediately suspect the woman if she accuses someone of rape is because, there is already a problem of women not reporting it, and if being suspected is what they'll get immediately, more and more women will stop coming forward. So if they were in a country like that, if Amanda had gone to the cops he would have likely been arrested as again, 'women centric' laws. This is the point where the line between Legality and Morality starts blurring, and the path the government has decided to take was to do nothing and rely on laws made almost 80 years ago. Sad part is, this happens all around the world, so many cases of men being arrested just because ofnthe word of a woman, and then being released after 20 - 30 years being found not guilty, and guess what, the false accusers walk away like nothing happened, while the man has lost literally the entirety of his hardwork and life. Actually shitty how the world is, but there's nothing we can do, no protests, no fight for the rights, nothing, will bring change. At least OP's life is changing for the good and there are good individuals like Derek and Kim who actually decided to put some trust until they saw actual proof.
Just look from their perspective. Nobody is going to treat someone they are told rvped a girl kindly. If you were told that your cousin did that, would you really go through all the steps to fact-check it? When you have multiple people saying it’s true? The parents are horrible. The ex wife was horrible. Seriously, the extended family probably doesn’t even care. It’s a sad truth
steps to take 1. Sue Henry 2. Do not forgive your friends or relatives until you want to if they keep texting or calling and you dont want them to block them 3. Get your daughters in your life more 4. Be happy with Kim
I feel so bad for the daughters who were caught up in this mess. Their “father” (Henry) is a liar, their mother a mess, their actual father, now moved on into a new family and has his own kid with another woman They were caught up in everything and when the news comes out are gonna suffer for it
I mean yeah that sucks and all but the actual dad had his life obliterated in front of his eyes and couldn’t do anything about it. I feel worse for him honestly. He was just as innocent as the kids and had actually built the family he lost himself.
In short, Amanda (a girl he went to high school with) made a story that he had r word her. The word spread to the whole family, including extended family. He was disowned and shunned from everyone he knew, his friends, family and Jenny. He was in a very dark place, but eventually found a job that he was able to get because he had no criminal record. (The police never showed up at his door) At this work place he befriended a guy named Derrick, who later became one of his close friends. He also found a woman, Kim, who understood his background and they started dating. Amanda randomly calls one day, and she was essentially apologizing for what she had done. She explained that she and Henry were dating, and it was Henry’s idea to frame him for r***. When she was drunk, she confessed that she ruined an ex’s life to her partner. He made her apologize. (Which is why she called) Legal action was taken. He told Amanda to tell his family the truth. In which, once they found out they were also apologizing for assuming so soon. He told them that he would forgive them on his own time. He was able to meet his two daughters once again, and there was a child with Kim that was on the way. (Sorry if I left out a bunch of parts, or messed anything up, or confusing, I typed this from memory and I would say these are some of the key details)
That was a good paraphrase but you left out the juiciest information! Henry successfully swooped in and married Jenny one year after the divorce and had one child together. 😮💨
Henry didn’t make Amanda confess for they broke up ages ago, when Henry became distant after the plan was completed. Instead, Amanda’s new bf/fiancé, Mark heard Amanda confess when drunk and pushed her to speak the truth.
Also, henry had a child with OP’s now ex-wife after he got OP separated from her(jenny). He apparently consoled her and then later married her. Thats messed up.
Kim Is The Biggest Green Flag Ever, You Hit The JackPot Edit: aint no way i just hit 200 likes Edit: 400 LIKES HOWWW Edit: HOW 600 LIKES Edit: BROO 900 LIKES IS THE MOST IVE EVER GOTTEN💯💯💯💯💯💯💯 Edit: Man Tysm For The 1k Yall Are Epic
When he said “should I ruin them with lawsuits for defamation and blah blah blah.” I immediately without hesitation went “Yes! Yes! Yes! Do it now!” 17:43
The only issue is that a defamation lawsuit requires proof that the accusations really did negatively effect someone's life. It isn't always easy to get all of the proof because so much of it is circunstancial.
This man is the calmest man ever I can’t even say what I would do but congrats to this man for getting up for himself and taking control of his life and being honest with every step
I wouldn't have been able to post on reddit I'd have found who I knew was plotting the whole time and "made" him confess on video before sending him to the land of not living
What a despicable human being, I hope OP is doing better. This is exactly why we need to stop immediately assuming everyone is guilty based on any random accusation unless they can prove it thoroughly.
You should sue Henry to the fullest, because he ruined your happy life with Jenny just for his own feelings. As for the daughter of jenny and henry, if they get to know the back story at one mature point in life, they will realise the acts of their garbage father and will overcome it with jenny and your support. All the best for the future, and great of you to restart your life amidst all this drama.
This is really awkward, this should never have happened at all, or he should just not be involved with them. People who are tricked so easily don’t really deserve to apologize.
You should sue the hell out of your brother, he got you disowned, he framed you for r@pe, he tried to ruin your life, and he got you divorced! and I am very very happy things are doing much better for you and I hope that doesn’t change but in my opinion you should sue him.
Not only that he did all this because he was obsessed with his own brother's wife. If that was my family Henry would have been disowned in the first place and all this stuff would have never happened. And shame on Jenny for marrying her brother-in-law. Brother's wife is like a sister. It's messed up to marry your sister in law.
Just the fact that so many cases of False Rape accusations occur around the world is disgusting and sad, because these false accusations ruin an innocent mans life, and as this continues, the chances of actual reports being ignored due to them being assumed as fake, is also possible.
The problem is systems seem to favor one side or the other. Some countries the guy can be a serial r@pist with dozens of provable crimes and he doesn't face a day in prison or any social stigma. Other countries the guy could have been on a business trip to the far side of the planet for 3 months and he will still go to prison on a woman's word. I heard Israel is really bad about this. And the US had issues with this (the Duke Lacrosse Team story, tRolling Stoned's "A rape on campus" story, Emma Sulkowicz, Brett Kavanaugh, Johnny Depp...) even before the MeToo movement, which will have repercussions on relationships for decades to come (I don't have eyes on the data, but I am pretty confident that at least two generations of men have pulled back from relationships, and the "red pill" / MGTOW / Passport Bros / Incel is becoming more main-stream). Countries can't seem to find a happy medium where they protect victims without giving crazy women a loaded gun pointed at the head of every man in the nation.
@@TwilightMysts it's all because Law and the Legal system has become a PR stunt, rather than a system to protect the innocent. If the whole world starts a movement where everyone is against a certain people, no matter they are good or bad, the law will abide to the masses.
@@thecubemasterxiii4209 do you say it because you know it, or because you feel that rap is ok for them only because their societies are more patriarchal?
I would personally sue Henry. I would also have it that the parents disown Henry. If the parents ever want to see their grandchildren and OP, they need to reverse that disownment, and leave everything to OP.
My gradnfather knew someone like this in the town he grew up on, thought that person never got a happy ending they did go through similar events, someone they knew framed them of murder and molesting someone and that basically made everyone they loved kick him out, disowned him, and even beat him up brutally to the point where they had to amputate an arm, over the years they struggled with trust issues and multiple breakdowns which let him to take his life, it took him taking his life for the truth to come out and now everyone in that family was seen like, and i quote this from what my grandpa told me, they saw them as "heartless bastards with no redeeming qualities and deserved to burn in all and every type of hell that existed" which is kinda brutal but that family got harassed so much they moved and some apparently took their life because they couldn't handle the pain and harassment from the town. I still dont know all details since my grandpa told me this when i was like 6 and he says he doesn't remember most details due to him being pretty young when this happened in his town
@@One_stammanot even Henry's kid. Henry is an asshole and Jenny too for not giving her husband a chance to prove his innocence. But the kid shouldn't suffer at all.
Wow this story is so crazy. Imagine everything is going good in life and boom all of a sudden you lose everything bc of false accusations. I'm glad he recovered.
Kim seems like a great person, your children seem nice and all you need to do is try and built a strong relationship with them as you did with Kim, as for your ex-parents I would meet up with them once every about 2 weeks as a nice coffee place or something like that and just talk and try to build a relationship but if you can’t don’t go screaming at them, instead be the ‘bigger’ person and just keep calm, you can cut ties with them at any point as if they start to be dick-heads you can just show them the disown papers and say “your just strangers to me now” and walk away Hope that helps, sorry if it doesn’t 😴😴😴
Sue Henry. Honestly I still can’t believe Amanda and Jenny would believe such a lie about you but leave them out, Amanda was manipulated by the fake love of Henry and later was manipulating Jenny and even making it worse for the family while they were blinded by this guys false allegations for you. You should really reconcile with your parents not because they’re family or what not just because they too had a taste of karma (In wealth) from Henry so basically everyone is a victim but I mostly feel a lot of Sympathy and I’m happy that you got a good life going and I’m glad you got Kim in your life (Not for me to judge but I’m just happy it turned out well and you didn’t off yourself)
1. Sue Henry. He’s clearly not your brother, so you can feel free to ruin his life. It can’t be as bad as everything he did to you. 2. Make the people who try to call themselves your parents and family realize that they can’t just say “we were wrong, sorry” and move on. They need to know that the were and kinda still are pieces of trash. 3. Make time for your real family. Take time to take care of Kim, your baby, and your two other girls. 4. Stay friends with Derrick and James. They are real ones. 5. Sit back and watch. Karma is on it’s way to your ex-family, and I have no doubt it’s going to be great to see for you and your family.
yk this is something my brother would do he almost made me break up w my gf but she realised that the story he told her couldnt be true as she looked through my phone
because his “brother” is a pos and is some insane, twisted psychopath who had to absolutely destroy his own brother’s life just to get his wife, who he had some twisted, disgusting obsession with
That might actually be the best thing you could do. In this case though, everyone in that commentsection is rolling their eyes cause they believe its a fake story
I’m glad how OP is still alive to tell this story. It’s a reminder that no matter how hard things seem in the moment there are still beautiful moments ahead waiting… 😊
Ignore the whole lot and only see your daughters. Be happy with Kim and new baby and be a good father to your daughters. Let your 'parents' have the bad son they deserve, they dont deserve you. Stick with those who saw the good in you when there was no reason to. As a previous comment already said, Thanks for being upfront about the short. I really am glad I saw the whole thing.
I’m so happy for OP right now. He had an entire life that was ruined in mere days by his AH brother and then he managed to rebuild that life. Derek and Kim were also extremely understanding and THE people who helped him get his life on track.
Unfortunately the time has passed to get him on a assault charge depending on what country he is from but if he's from the states it's 7 years to report a crime of that magnitude if that doesn't happen then it's no longer a offence due to the laws
Shit he didn’t give a damn about you or how your kids would feel why should you care? It’s ridiculous how everyone just expects him to forgive them. I wouldn’t forgive anyone. I wouldn’t want any of them in my life if I was him.
Regardless of whatever else he did, OP's brother robbed him, an innocent man, of eight years of his children's lives. He systematically set about destroying his brothers life, in full knowledge of how badly this would affect him, and didn't care. Not only that, he also set up a sophisticated plan to stalk his brother's wife, and smear his name just so he could get close and comfort his brother's wife. Once his plan was in full swing and OP drove round to his parents to talk to them, Henry also physically assaulted OP in front of his parents and still then wife. Not only that but he also manipulated and misused Amanda, though she was willing it was because of her misguided love for Henry, and after he had the results he wanted he cast her aside. Yes, he has a daughter, but does any of the above make it sound like this man would make a good father? A man who would go to these lengths would have gone further. If this plan had failed, it's likely he'd have resorted to something even worse.
Maybe not take the kids from the ex and instead allow the ex into the house with op and Kim because she really didn't do anything wrong she was just manipulated but shouldn't lose her kids over a weak mind and judgment.
@@dew_san-animatorand thats her mistake. She married him, she was supposed to have his back, but instead she jumped the gun on her own man. Henry “consoled” her afterwards, but her reaction was entiely her own. I mean, to begin with, its messed up that she would then marry her ex-husbands brother and have a kid with him. Huge nope.
That isnt all that unusual. What is disgusting is that Henry has spawn out there. OP should just take care of his daughters and whatever happens to the other child happens. Not his problem.
very admirable story, i have no clue how i'd cope with this if it had happened to me, OP from the sounds of it has an amazing wife and i hope nothing like this ever happens to anyone and that OP can make a great connection with his daughters
What's the craziest is that everyone OP knew and loved just took the brothers side without a second thought ruining OP's life forcing him to leave town and CHANGE HIS NAME and then just called him disrespectful when he didn't forgive them. Like thats actually horrible
What blows my mind is that some of that extended family had the AUDACITY to be ''dissapointed in his reaction''. Like are you actually kidding me? You dissown him and drop all contact, only to come and act like you have some moral high ground when he's suffered for 8 years.
They were angry at him for 8 years or something he didn't do and just found out the truth. They're "disappointment." At him is just them trying to mask their own disappointment at themselves.
Can't believe how easily the family just believed a random girl's testimony and easily faked messages over THEIR OWN SON. Just shows how bad they were.
@@Cyborg_Lenin there is literally no proof that he actually committed the crime other than some people believing he did so. its basically their words against his
OP is a fighter and those who stuck with him at his lowest are the real family he needs going forward. That guy Henry ruined a mans life, manipulated 2 women against him, robbed 2 daughters of a father, robbed his own parents of a son Whatever punishment is fit for him at this point? What is lost can't ever be recovered even if the family wants to make amends OP started from scratch with people who mean much more after such hardships.
This guy is strong. If I were in this situation I no doubt would have offed myself. It’s admirable how he worked towards rebuilding his life and accepted his old life.
This brings back some memories for me. I went through something similar and the best advice I can give you, don't stop till you get there. He's really considering stopping right before finally getting to the one who caused all of this, it's something weird our human minds do. But don't stop till they feel the same pain and agony you were forced to endure. The moment you start to limit yourself because of someone is the moment they win.
I wouldn't sue the brother. "To think in spite of everything I did to my brother he still hasn't done anything to me, maybe I am the piece of shit" let him lay in his own pit of destruction and chaos a lone. Don't block him, you want him to see what he could have had if he wasn't a pos. Just ignore him and move forward with your life.
That is for Jenny to decide. I wouldnt care either way. I would be angry if she brought that kid around me though. It would be a reminder of the ill gotten relationship and my ex betrayal all wrapped in one.
The brother should be sued. No ifs or buts. He purposefully ruined op's life, stole his girl, got her pregnant, and robbed op's daughters of their father for 8 years too long. Not the asshole for suing him at all, even if it may affect the kid he was with the ex. Though the child doesn't deserve what may come as a result.
First of all, screw your ex, she didn’t trust her husband and instead trusted your brother which means she was on his side so you should sue both of them
The right answer is to forgive and move on as you have now made a better life for yourself, however the messed up part of me is saying to ruin Henry’s life
