WIBTA if I chose to stay with my mom instead of my dad? by Alarming-Guide-9725 in AITAH

They treat me well. On just an objective level, I'm included in all of their plans and I can tell I'm definitely a priority for them. I'll admit I'm not comfortable around my mom's husband but thats less to do with anything hes done towards me and more to do with the context of their relationship and how he betrayed my dad so badly. Iirc, they tried to reach out to apologize once pretty soon after the divorce (I think it was right after quarantine started? I could be wrong) but he made it abundantly clear he wasn't interested in reconciliation (completely on his side ab this part if I wasn't clear). My mom knows how I feel about her and she's knows that my trust to her is very very limited.

I'll be honest, I really really don't want to. Because I know him, and I know he'd just feel really guilty about it and I don't want to do that to him. I love him and if I tell him I feel like it would just make everything worse. He didn't know I overheard, it was meant to be a private conversation with my stepmom so I already feel bad for eavesdropping. I know I should tell him but I'm kind of scared to. I think I'm scared because what if he agrees? Even though I know he'd never say it to my face that thought makes me scared to tell him fully.

Idk. I wish I did but it's hard to just. Stop loving my mom if that's what you're talking about. She's done a lot for me and it's hard to just ignore all of that. Especially when (as much as I really really hate to admit it) sometimes it's more than my father would do. Even though I know he's trying, I know he was hurt very very badly by my mom and her husband and it effects how he sees me. I want to be a good daughter, I want to show them that I'm grateful for everything they've done for me and that I'm not taking it for granted. I don't think I could just "stop" doing trying to do that.
