My Ex Is My New Dad - Real Life Story Animated

[Music] hi i'm alice and it's been six years when i broke up with my ex-boyfriend and to be honest i had completely wiped him away from my memory he was just too everything to get at sports too good looking too muscular too smart just to everything so i had to end it in a nice way of course and i was happy well at least i was happy until about 30 seconds ago six years ago i was 18 and still living at home like most 18 year olds now i'm 24 and have a husband a house and a little one on the way but then i mean a puppy not a human baby i was sitting on the couch watching my favorite television show ironic situations when i got a text from my mother apparently she was dating some guy for a while and did not even tell me her own daughter i was excited for her though because ever since my dad left her when i was at the very young age of six she never had been the same i do not know if she was just heartbroken or if it was stress or what it was but i had always felt bad for her the worst part about this text was that it's monstrosity of a message at first i was just surprised that she had a boyfriend without telling me but after i read the whole text i found out i was going to have a new dad how is this even possible my mother probably one of the most stubborn people when it comes to letting stuff go has a fiancee i sat there for 10 minutes maybe more just contemplating what the heck had happened my mother going down the aisle in a white gown i could not get that out of my head over and over it played in my mind it seemed that would haunt me forever she then after seeing that i had read the text some time ago told me that she wanted me to come out to dinner tonight to meet him i wanted to chuck the phone out the window and say that i never read that text but that wasn't an option there had to be some random excuse to get me out of going but what i ended up thinking about what my mother had done for me and all that she had gone through i decided i would go for her i did not want to go but i did i was getting ready for the night the restaurant we were going to sounded extremely fancy while getting ready i was filled with anxiety overthinking plagued my mind what if i don't like this guy am i supposed to call him dad and why on earth would my mother not tell me his name i reassured myself that everything would be fine on that note i left for the restaurant the restaurant was called sakra i assumed it was french but i wasn't certain i entered the elegant building and quickly spotted my mother her fiance was not there yet so i asked her to tell me the name of the man she was engaged to since i would be meeting him soon with enough persuasion she finally relented it was my ex my worry of a shocking moment in my life that changed everything forever it all started as far back as i can remember i had a best friend that was closer to me than even a sister we did everything throughout our younger years together we liked all the same music we had the same tasting clothes although we could never share because she was always much thinner than me however she'd always teased me that i still had the advantage since i was a natural blonde and she was a brunette nonetheless we always had a blast we go on double dates together we even went to our prom with the same guy not literally of course you see they were identical twin brothers so it was kind of like the same guy all our lives we always figured that we'd end up living life side by side no matter what then all of a sudden that all changed in a flash after graduation she decided to go on to pursue a degree in medicine and i joined the peace corps to become a teacher since they had a very enticing program that would pay for my degree this would result in both of us living in very different parts of the country we would keep in touch a lot usually we talked every week and when we got busy we'd write eventually she finished college and then went to nyc for an internship and after i completed my time in the peace corps and had my teaching degree i was offered a really great job in hawaii while in hawaii my life once again took a huge turn it was there while taking some extra classes on the weekend that i met robert it was like a cosmic flare immediately we were drawn to each other from that day forward we were inseparable within six months we were married i had always wanted a huge wedding and the whole shebang but robert had wanted to elope spontaneously we were already on a weekend lovers retreat and he had suggested that it just felt so right to do it immediately he said down the road once we got settled a bit we could always have a family celebration i was so in love i couldn't help myself so we eloped well now i'm gonna fast forward my story a bit here four years later my best friend and i have been talking on and off throughout a few months time she tells me about this guy she met on the internet on a dating site and how they've been talking back and forth for months now she said how he seems amazing almost too perfect she told me about all the romantic things that he sent her in the mail she said she can't wait to see him in person that they haven't exchanged pictures of each other yet because he told her that it should be part of the surprise when they finally meet so she wants me to be there when he comes to meet her because she's nervous and she asked me would i do this favor for her i told her of course i would since she's like a sister to me i knew robert had a travelling teacher seminar coming up soon so i suggested this time frame to her that this would be a good time for me to fly to her for the weekend she agreed this would be a perfect plan so i packed my bags and bought my airline ticket and it was off to help give some moral support to my lifelong best friend their date was set and of all the places in the world my favorite sushi at nobu in midtown manhattan now this guy has the same taste as lynn and i we arrived a little early so she could be waiting in a booth for him and when we spoke to the hostess she said that her date had already reserved a table in advance so she showed us to the table on the table was a centerpiece of wild orchids with a note that read these orchids are as rare and beautiful as the love we have found can't wait to meet you i was flawed what a romeo this guy must be lynn sat down in the booth and i quietly sat at another table on an opposite angle across the room i could clearly see them however he'd have to turn around to purposely look down this end to see my table then the moment came as he walked up to the table i was in shock couldn't breathe it was him i knew by his tall stature deep voice the curls in his hairline without thinking i grabbed a waiter and asked for his apron and said please you'll understand in two minutes i took his order pad and pen and i marched straight to their table my best friend lynn looked at me in desperation as if to say what the hell are you doing and then i said as he looked at me like he was having a heart attack can i take your order oh let me see that's right your name is roberto and your favorite food is raw peruvian oysters on the half shell oh yeah how is it i know that lin said please holly what's going on she started to cry i should have felt bad for her she certainly couldn't have known but all i could feel was insane anger so i grabbed her hand and looked at him and said you'll be hearing from my lawyer then we left we took the train back to her place she kept trying to apologize but it wasn't her fault after that my lawyer informed me that he was already married in several other states to women that he met on facebook [Music] hi there i'm jasmine when i was around eight years old my parents began fighting constantly every night by the time i was 10 they were going through a nasty divorce i had no reprieve my home didn't feel safe it was more like a war zone their words exploding over my head like bombs being let out of aircrafts most of the time my parents fights would revolve around money or the other person having an affair my parents didn't love each other anymore and after two years of fighting under the same roof my father moved out i was deeply upset about this because i missed having my daddy around as a young girl and my mom would say negative things about him being a loser or a liar to me i began to wonder if all those things were true it felt like he abandoned us i only was able to see him once a month during those visitations with my father he would bad-mouth my mom any chance he got how he would strike while the iron was hot with hurtful words like your mom is an ugly woman from her heart out to her physical appearance or don't believe a word she tells you he would stare me dead in the eyes trying to make me believe this at that point back and forth between my parents who utterly hated each other i was full of confusion on who i loved and who i believed was telling me the truth about the other one eventually the day i was dreading came to fruition court day inside the courthouse in front of a judge i was to tell her whom i wanted to live with the rest of my years until i was an adult i had no idea who to choose they were both my parents and i loved them dearly except they didn't love each other i wondered if they loved me anymore because they were putting me through so much pain having to choose a side my mom was a caring woman to me she cooked for me and cleans my room while my dad would read me a bedtime story and give me piggy back rides i didn't hate either of them and i don't think either of them were monsters like they portrayed each other to be the court day came and went i cried to the judge that i loved them both and didn't want to choose and eventually he made the choice for me it wasn't one i would have readily have chosen but it gave some sort of solution i was going to live with my mother full time and visit my father every weekend when my parents saw me cry about how much it hurts me to choose between them they never again spoke a bad word about the other and i was able to enjoy my time with them separately as now happy individuals [Music] subscribe to this channel to watch more such videos and press the bell icon for more updates you
