0:00.0 | Welcome to R. Slash Off My Chest, where a bully systematically destroys O.P.'s life. |
0:06.5 | Our next Reddit post is from No Line. |
0:08.5 | My world has crumbled into pieces, and it's my own fault. |
0:12.7 | My father died around 10 years ago of cancer. |
0:15.4 | I never looked like him. |
0:16.9 | In fact, if you would ask me whether we had anything in common, |

1:10.3 | So I called my stepdad, whom I love and who I'm glad my mom |
1:14.5 | found after my dad passed. I was heated and angry, thinking I must be the product of an affair, |
1:20.4 | but didn't want to confront my mother directly before I knew more information. That's when my stepdad |
1:25.6 | told me that he once asked my mom about why I looked the way I did. |
1:30.1 | And she told him that she never checked, but she thinks that she was once drugged at a party |
