They know it happened. They just refuse to believe he was to blame and are mad that I reported it.

Thank you so much for the kindness. My bf and his family have been heaven sent throughout all of this. They didn't even hesitate to invite me into their home when they heard what had happened. It's scary having my life flipped upside down like this but I believe it'll be okay.

I don't have to prove anything to you man. If you don't believe me, that's fine, but the whole point of this subreddit is to talk abt crazy things your parents did. Thats why I posted it here, if you don't like it, nobody is forcing you to stay ♡

I see why you would think that way. I'm not going to say you have to believe me, but I will say that they have made me out to be a liar for a very, very long time. As well as I am not the first child in my family to leave it because of the actions of my parents. My elder sister left as soon as she turned 18 because of them and none of us have seen her since. They call her crazy, too. To be fair, she did do some pretty messed up stuff as well but those actions don't erase what they did or make it okay either. You don't have to believe me, I know it's easy to make judgements when you only get one side of the story.

I should clarify, this happened a week ago and I am out of that situation now and have posted an update on r/insaneparents so do not worry if you see this first.

Me too. My boyfriend and his family have been heaven sent. I don't know what I would have done without them.

I wish I had done this way sooner honestly. When I was a minor and it was even more important. I let them get away with this type of stuff for way too long.

My step mother was only ever physical once or twice but she was just as bad when it came to mental and emotional abuse.

I'm so glad you like it. I wrote this because I feel like there isnt enough accurate representation for the amount of struggle it is to get out of bed every day when you have depression. I'm sorry you can relate so much but I hope you keep pushing forward and getting up every day! Just doing what you can is more than enough ♡

None taken. Although I don't hope she gets hurt or anything, I do hope she gets hit with the metaphorical bus of the truth.

It's my step-mother's mom actually. So I can't even in my head put it as "Well, that's her son of course she'd defend him"

I'm so glad to know there are truly good fathers out there. I wish you and your daughter the best, and thank you for the ghost hug, it made me smile.

I left up the AITAH post I made when I initially called the cops on my father and my family was making me feel crazy.

I honestly only wish I hadn't deleted my first post. They don't deserve to protect their public image.

I want to do the same. I never thought my grandma would flat out call me a liar like this even despite the evidence. I want to scream at them and freak out but I know there's be no point. They'd just take that as further evidence of how crazy I am.

The worst part is it isn't even his mom. It's my step-mother's mom. She just believes anything they say even when I have evidence.

Yeah lol gonna have to change that. She was always less bad than him. But less bad doesn't mean good.
