I was about four years old when my parents divorced. Haven’t really seen my real dad in a while. Then, my mother remarried. This is where the resentment rolls in. Obviously I won’t expose names so I’ll this guy, Step Dad. They’ve been married for 5, but together for 11. About 3 years ago, Step Dad started being kinda an ass to me. I don’t think I did anything to make him dislike me, but he does. It’s gotten worse over time, but it has been bad all throughout. I can’t push back because I know I’d be in deep s***. Its been made clear to me that he doesn’t care about me as much, and he knows it. To name a few a****** moments, he yelled me for having a mental breakdown in a restaurant, he called me ungrateful for getting stressed out, and he called me a crybaby because his “darling heir to the throne” stole my fireworks that were bought for me. I’m currently at my grandparents and I don’t want to go back, but I know I have to. The only thing I can do is wait for an opportunity to move out, attempt to go to therapy, and avoid him at all costs. It’ll be hard, the next 4 years will be difficult. Though, I know I’ll make it out eventually. Thanks for looking, if you did. If not, that’s fine too.
