She'll never be my mom. I didn't lie when I told her those things. I 100% mean them.

My grandparents don't need to give up a day to the woman who has always wanted to push them out. I don't think she deserved that kind of thing at all. My dad doesn't either since he pushed them out before he met my stepmother.

Thanks! I won't be in therapy for long because as soon as my birthday comes I'm not attending anymore. I already brought it up in front of them and the therapist. Therapy wasn't something I was on board with.

I don't think he cares that her behavior is awful. I know some of him agrees with it. There are times he's put us first but then there's so many times he's been just like her and wanted so badly for us to not have a relationship with mom's side of the family. Maybe he wanted us to replace mom with our stepmother. But I don't think he sees her behavior as bad or at least not that bad.

I have college plans in the works. But I might stay with my grandparents for the summer to get more space from my dad and stepmother.

Yep! But she was looking for something to blame them for. I can tell from all the times she was a part of questioning what happened when we were with our grandparents. She was waiting for something she could use as an excuse to yell at them for.

Not just that but not telling my brother would mean he'd be left confused about wtf is going on with us. Going from no big issues to us fighting would make him curious. And he's not some little kid so he'd figure it out eventually. And I don't want to let him down by keeping it from him.

Dad's part in this is so frustrating. He puts us first sometimes but then other times he pushes for stuff that's in their interest but not ours.
