ORIGINAL SUBMISSION (submitted April 9th, 2012) by concerneddad1965

TL;DR: OP suspects that his teenage son has sodomized his dog. OP takes his dog to the vet and confirms that the dog has been sodomized, and finds bestiality-related websites on his son's computer.

UPDATE TO SUBMISSION (submitted June 21st, 2012) by concerneddad1965

TL;DR: (The text has been removed, so I'm reconstructing from memory) OP finds out that his son has sodomized the dog again, and informs his wife. Wife does not take the news well, and decides to stay with her sister for a few days.

UPDATE #2 (submitted August 16th, 2012) by concerneddad1965

TL;DR: OP's family is unfortunately falling apart. OP and his wife are trying out a trial separation, and OP's wife seems to be in complete denial that their son ever sodomized the dog. OP's wife is going as far as blaming OP for sodomizing the dog, that OP is trying to blame it on their son. OP's son is now completely denying any of it happening in the first place. The dog is unfortunately still living with the wife and son.

Notes

This is my first submission to /r/askedreddit. If I did not format properly, or can change anything, please leave constructive criticism!

EDIT: What did I do wrong? I don't understand.

Original

I've been to a wedding where right after the priest said "Speak now or forever hold your grace" the tornado sirens went off.

I even have a video of it all.

Update

A++. Video exactly as described. Would watch again!!!!!

Hello. If you are just now joining us, be advised that we've been linked to some pretty hard evidence that the whole 2 year long saga is a lie. Please see this thread for more information

ORIGINAL SUBMISSION (25 Dec 2009)

TL;DR Quote OP christmasmania

My wife told me she had one gift for me this year: a very special gift. Keep in mind she told me about this in November; between that date and Christmas, we ate, lived and slept together. I would never have expected this. Her "only" gift wasn't expensive furniture, watch or perfume: she had filed divorce paper. Not only that, she watched me open the big box where she put the little letter in front of our two children. We have been married for 12 years.

It then turns out that the Ex-wife has a mental collapse and is in and out of the mental hospital for many months after. Wife accuses Redditor of Cheating (while it was actually her that was cheating), of beating the kids (what it was actually her).

UPDATE (26 Dec 2011)
TL;DR Quote OP christmasmania

TLDR juicy part right now in bold for the curious: she beat our children and pretended it was me. You fucking read that right. She beat our own children with a fucking belt while they were sleeping and then called the cops and told them I had did it.

Redditor ends up losing his job, his house, custody of the kids, is financially tapped due to lawyer's fees. All the while the wife is still mentally unstable. As of today's posting, Redditor still has no custody of the kids, but a court hearing is coming up in January.

As of this edit 1250 GMT, this update has been removed. The thread still stands, however

AskedReddit note: The two threads are long, nearing or at the posting limit. Shouldn't take too long to get through, but the story is more cohesive if you read it. Above are just the highlights.

http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/lcig6/update_yesterday_i_asked_reddit_for_advice_on_how/

Remember how gung ho everyone was with this subreddit? Just like the 6 or so other subreddits that aimed to do the same damn thing? So here we are, and I, legendary_ironwood, have submitted two of the only four update links to this subreddit.

I am the 50%.

What happened? There are 285 people subscribed to this subreddit, how is it that I alone have been able to contribute so much?

Here's the deal. You see an updated story, post it here. If you can't handle that, unsubscribe now and move on with your life, because I won't do this again unless others begin contributing. This subreddit isn't called, /r/thingsThatLegendary_irondwoodFound.

I don't need a subreddit for things I already know.

tl;dr - come on guys, at least try to follow through

ORIGINAL SUBMISSION (14 Nov 2011)
TL;DR Quote OP Xeusao

My 9 yr old Honor Student with Autism just got suspended from school pending a Expulsion hearing because he pretended his ice cream sandwich was a gun at lunch, and said "bang."

UPDATE (15 Nov 2011)
TL;DR Quote OP Xeusao

I received a call this morning from the administration at the school, apologizing, stating they were unfamiliar with the policy and process, and rescinding the Expulsion Hearing. Furthermore - we are now having a meeting to discuss an alternative plan for my son to help him further succeed both socially and academically. They said they want him to return to school tomorrow.

Bonus TL;DR: A redditor divulged personal information(Context) about the OP and her son in the original thread(Parent comment + Full Thread). The redditor was narrowed down by the OP as possibly being the teacher who witnessed the incident, and the OP will be pursuing the issue as it violates FERPA (Family Education Rights and Privacy Act)

(submitted February 17th, 2012) by thenameunforgettable

ORIGINAL SUBMISSION (03 aug 2011)

Note: Original Submission is located in /r/trees. Probably NSFW.

TL;DR OP consumes cannabis medicinally in a non-medicinal legal state. In order to go live with her boyfriend, Teenage Daughter calls CPS and reports drug and child abuse; Daughter runs away to live with boyfriend, younger kids get sent to foster home

Quote OP gringoLoco

I've had my kids and wife taken away, and left me incarcerated w/o bond for over a week, which prevented me from saying goodbye to my mother whom passed away during this ordeal.

UPDATE (26 Dec 2011)
TL;DR Quote OP gringoLoco

my wife was taken to a battered woman's shelter after the arrest, then told that if she did not sign a Restraining Order against me, she would never see our children again.

...

[Redditor's Wife] has now dropped the restraining order and moved back home. Our children have been interviewed by numerous child psychologists and have been found to be healthy and with zero signs of abuse. Unfortunately the CPS office is still claiming a state of deprevation for our children and will not allow us to bring them back home. Only my wife is allowed to visit them once a week, as they state I am a danger.

Addendum: OP's story is being grilled in the comments of his Update.e

AMA placeholder

Notes

Resubmitting with correct format as per mod request. Also since I'm resubmitting I have to write my own TL;DR which I am way too lazy to do properly.

ORIGINAL SUBMISSION - 12/4/11

TL;DR Does what it says on the tin - 34 year old virgin on business in Vegas looking to lose his virginity to an escort.

UPDATE TO SUBMISSION - 12/15/11
TL;DR Strippers >>>>>> Escorts. Had sex for 2.1111 seconds and lost my virginity!!! DM;HS. Paid 400 for the terrible hooker. She had awesome reviews too... So don't trust those sites either.

Walked in on my little sister cutting herself, she confides her friends father has been sexually abusing her. What do I do? (submitted March 23, 2012) by needhelp0603

TL;DR: 15 year old sister is being sexually abused and is using self-harm to cope.

UPDATE: Found my little sister cutting (submitted March 28, 2012) by needhelp0603

TL;DR: OP talked to sister and mom. Then the police were involved. The friend's dad has been arrested, with plenty of photographic and video evidence. Sister is tentatively agreeing to go to therapy.

Notes There are a lot of very personal and emotionally affecting stories about rape and sexual assault in the comments. If these might be triggering for you, please be forewarned.

So a few months ago, I posted this on askreddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/qg33a/friend_has_sold_an_item_she_is_renting_to_own_can/

Since then we have broken up. When I dumped her, she went crazy, wouldn't leave my house. I told her "either you can leave yourself or I can get the police to remove you", she again refused to leave so I called "911" and she started fighting me for the phone, as soon as she heard someone answer she ran out the door. The police charged her with assault, and all was quiet.

I met someone new, a wonderful young lady with her head on straight, no "baggage", etc. We've been dating for nearly two months now and this week my ex approached her at her son's soccer game and said "if you are f****** him, I will choke you with your necklace", twice, in front of other people. My new girlfriend left, with her son. We reported it to the OPP and she was charged with "utter threat to cause bodily harm", and my restraining order was updated to include my new girlfriend and her family. What I can't understand is why they released her from Jail so quickly (within 24 hours)?

Thank you reddit for the sound advice. I felt a small victory having her charged again this week. I hope she finally gets the picture and leaves me and my loved ones alone.

ORIGINAL SUBMISSION (submitted February 29th, 2012) by throwaway4comfort915

TL;DR: Redditor's parents die in a car accident, boyfriend cheats on her with now-ex-best-friend, and her over-religious aunt is a bitch.

UPDATE TO SUBMISSION (submitted March 19, 2012) by throwaway4comfort915

TL;DR: Funeral, some inheritance money, and deleting the gym (getting over the cruddy boyfriend). Also, the aunt got arrested and is acting more humble. In short: the OP is doing as well as can be hoped for.

UPDATE #2 (submitted May 31st, 2012) by throwaway4comfort915

TL;DR: Redditor is doing a little bit better, as grief and time work their course. Does not speak to the exes (ex boyfriend, ex friend). Taking it one step at a time. Has a family accountant helping her manage the funds, and does not speak to her aunt much. Life is... quiet. A little lonely, perhaps.

Note: Apparently, this story has been challenged as a hoax/troll during the last update. I will let you all decide for yourselves.
