As a child, Alicia didn't notice the tension in her family or why it was there. But when she was almost 20, she learned the real story of how her parents met.

The story starts with a simple dinner invitation. Alicia's half-brother, Mario, who was 18 at the time and shared the same mom but had a different dad, invited his best friend to dinner.

That night, something unexpected happened: Mario's best friend, then 23, met his mom, 37, and they hit it off. This might sound like a nice way for people to meet, but for Mario, it was a shock.

One day, Mario discovered his best friend was dating his mom. This realization came during a gathering at his mom's house, attended by Mario's mom, his girlfriend, his best friend, Alicia's older brother Marvin, and Marvin's girlfriend.

They were planning to go out, and everyone was getting ready to leave. Plans changed suddenly when Mario's mom, who had him when she was just 19, mentioned that his friend would stay behind for a haircut.

Mario looked at his friend, and then at his mom, and he knew. He got really upset, more upset than anyone expected. "My brother Mario flipped out, caused a scene," Alicia recalled.

Feeling angry and betrayed, Mario stormed out, took his mom's car from the driveway, and in a state of anger and slightly intoxicated, drove off. In his rage, he deliberately crashed the car into a pole, totaling the vehicle and infuriating his mom.

Alicia's mom and dad eventually got married, welcomed her into their lives, and Mario's mom adopted her. As time went on, Mario’s perspective began to change. It wasn't easy, but he learned to accept their relationship.

“He had no choice but to get over it once he saw how happy my dad made my mom,” Alicia reflected. She also noted that Mario and her dad were not childhood best friends. They met as adults.

You'd think that was the end of their troubles, but there was more to come. The real problem between Mario and his stepdad didn't start because his stepdad married his mom. It was because of money matters, especially about a house.

Around 1989, Alicia's dad inherited the beautiful house his grandmother raised him in. He had been living there with his family until 1997 when Alicia was around 8 months old.

Alicia's mother and father decided they needed to move, so Mario asked if he could have the house. After some thinking, Alicia’s dad said yes.

He let Mario stay there, asking for just $150 a month for rent. But Mario never paid, not even once. This, among other things Mario didn't pay back, caused more trouble between them.

Even though there were tough times, Alicia was always very close to her dad. She also had a strong connection with her brother. Since both were Virgos, they really got each other.

In 2014, Mario's health took a significant downturn, impacting the family deeply. Alicia recounted the effect on their lives: "That's when our entire family dynamic shifted very very drastically and it wasn't good."

The challenges of Mario's illness brought a new set of trials. Sadly, Mario passed away in 2020, marking the end of a turbulent period for the family.

Losing her brother was very hard for Alicia. She understands why her brother might have been upset about their mom and his best friend being together. She knows she would feel the same if she were in his shoes.

After all the tough times and losing Mario in 2020, Alicia recently shared an uplifting video of her parents on TikTok. The short clip showed her mom and dad, married for almost 39 years and looking really happy together despite their 16-year age gap. She captioned it, “My parents not letting what others say about their love story bother them.”

23-Year-Old YouTuber Marries His Friend's 75-Year-Old Mom to Prove a Point

Since social media became a thing, many people have made money creating content for it. One such person is David Dobrik, a famous YouTuber with over 17 million subscribers on his channel. In May 2019, he uploaded a fascinating clip.

He explained that it was made so he could prove a point to his friend. In the video, the 23-year-old was seen driving while accompanied by friends. Speaking to the person next to him, Dobrik joked that his ex-wife's children loved their mother's new boyfriend more than him.

The best friend, Jason, said it was crazy to think Dobrik would never have an ex-wife because no one would ever marry him. The YouTuber laughed, reacted badly to the comment, and promised his friend that he would regret the statement.

Three hours after Jason's comment, Dobrik returned with an update. While traveling with other people, the social media user explained to his passengers that he was flying to Boston to propose to Jason's mother so he could become his stepfather!

His passengers couldn't believe what they heard and wished to know if he was serious about it. Dobrik explained he was and had planned to marry his friend's mother in Las Vegas before they honeymooned in Hawaii. In a series of pictures, he was seen taking a flight, and next thing he was in Boston, with him confessing:

"I can't sleep. I'm so excited!"

He laughed as he contemplated the thought that he would be engaged soon. Next, Dobrik knocked at Jason's mother's door while holding a bouquet of flowers. When she opened the door, she was thrilled to see him but wondered why he was in her city.

Lorraine Charlotte Nash, 75, was utterly confused as she sat on a couch with Dobrik, holding the flowers he had bought her. Using her full name, the Youtuber went down on one knee and presented a ring before asking Nash to marry him.

The older woman asked him, "Are you out of your mind?" That's when he decided to hilariously explain to her that he wished to become Jasons's stepfather. Nash noted that it would be "hysterical" before Dobrik revealed that their flight leaves in three hours.

Jason's mother was keen on the prank, and the next thing we saw was her and Dobrik on their way to Las Vegas! As she climbed a limousine in Las Vegas, the YouTuber introduced her as his soon-to-be wife. The pair actually went through with the wedding, complete with a white dress and veil for Nash!

The hilarious part is that they actually went to Hawaii and had fun on their honeymoon! In one scene, Nash shared how she felt like she'd been married to Dobrik for 50 years and hadn't done any of the things they did before. Dobrik then asked some friends if they knew Nash, and they all said she was Jason's mother.

He corrected them by letting them know she was his wife and even produced a marriage certificate as proof. The 23-year-old then confronted his best friend with the shocking news.
