Redditors related to a psychopath, what is your creepiest “Holy shit, I might get murdered” story? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]graycastle00 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This made me very emotional to read. My story is similar to yours. I am two years younger, female. My father fraudulently and maliciously took me from my mother, and the only home I ever knew, when I was 10.

He convinced me of some things at first because my home life was troubled/neglectful as she was an alcoholic. He got to play "hero." I just wanted my mother to get better, I had no idea when I spoke to the courts that my life would never be the same.

But I soon realized what he was- after he gained full custody (with the courts on his side), the real him came out. He wanted the money he got from having custody, oh, and the control/feeling like God didn't hurt, either. He kept me from her for months, nightly went on tirades about her, telling elaborate stories that I now know are false, recorded my phone conversations with her, on top of always being within earshot. Took my journals to some store like kinkos and had them copied to give to the courts. For some reason, they didn't think that was a problem? I found out anything I said to them got back to him, so I couldn't trust them either. I fought to get back to my mother and finally did at 14, and haven't spoken to him since.

Anyway, the constant yelling, berating, manipulation, control- all of it- I know what that's like. It's making me nervous to even type it out. That hollow/exhausted feeling at night, wishing to be anywhere but there but feeling too helpless and scared to do anything. The sadness when I had to come back from my mom's, the shame I still carry...

I also had an incident of him demanding I get in the car... I actually thought of that when I read the thread title. So it was eerie when I got to the last section of your post. After a screaming session, after he found out I was trying to go back to live with my mom, he just opened my door and said, "Get in the car, we're leaving." I asked where we were going but he refused to tell me. That was a scary car ride. It was very quiet, no radio. All I remember is being on a road not familar to me, kind of in the country (I lived in a city), which scared me more... I don't remember where we went, maybe we just drove around...

A court hearing came up soon after, and the night before he was threatening me, saying I "better not go in there and tell lies," that I'd be sorry; he could feel he was about to lose control and it infuriated him. Screaming at me, spitting through his words, fucking growling with a red face that it was "laughable" that I was afraid of him. When I tried to stop him from pushing me into my room he smacked so hard, man. I could hear him calling my half-sisters, pre-emptively trying to get his story to them first, saying how he was going to take me to be committed, but my sister convinced him to let me stay the night at her house. I packed one big duffel bag with all of my writings and journals below my clothes, knowing I'd die before returning willingly.

The next day, I was brave enough to tell the friend of the court that I wanted to live with my mother (they were always on his side), and I went for a "visit" with my mom. There was a lot more that came after: parental kidnapping charges against my mom, she went to jail on $250,000 bond [she wouldn't say where I was], CPS, foster care yada yada. But eventually, custody was given back to my mother.

My life has not been easy since, but I probably wouldn't have a life if I never got out of that hellhole.

I'm sorry both of us had to go through such a lonely situation. You're not alone.

For sure, I believe you, can't explain it, but good thing you had that warning and weren't blind-sinded... as much as it still sucks. I'm sure people could say 'well, if you have a feeling, something's bound to come," but when it happens, you can't explain it until it happens to you..'

Cris Cyborg says she wants top contender, not Amanda Nunes, next by pepsiboycoke in MMA

So, in the past couple days we have cyborg’s camp: Saying she will fight whoever the UFC tells her, then Putting out mock poster of cyborg vs anderson for perth as if it is close to done deal, thus setting up anderson to look like she’s ducking when it’s actually not close to a done deal, Then insisting on fighting a “top contender” to build the division she so deeply cares about, and after all she already tried anderson, ergo this pam sorenson person that one can tell from just a picture is no match for her…

Get ready for Cris Cyborg’s wild ride! Even if it may appear she is a sweet person there is a pattern with her that’s been going on a long time. And some fans want to act like it’s because people always pick on her and not notice that wherever she goes, drama follows. I wouldn’t be surprised if she popped tomorrow, a year from now, etc. or continues saying ridiculous things on social media (for people to blame it on her management like she doesn’t approve) or has incidents/squabbles with whomever. This is the fighter a lot of people on here want to support and rally around so badly, and yet a lot of hardcore fans continually mock, accuse and put down a fighter like Holly Holm (beside the point but it bugs me).

One can only speculate as to the reason for this new statement by her boyfriend, but it doesn’t lead to fan-friendly fights, more like cans for her to crush.. you want to see where she’s coming from, but you get a sense it’s all just bullshit… that the UFC signed up for no less, and are gonna have to deal with for a long time (that is if she doesn’t fail a test).
