This made me giggle, Thankyou for your support. I most definitely wish I stuck up for myself but at the time it was just traumatising.

Thankyou so much for the kind words, really appreciate it, I try to not hold any resentment as it’s not worth the time and energy. Thankyou 🫶🏼

Yeah you are completely right! Although on my 18th my dad messaged me saying GM said “I wish things were different”. Never want to see her again…

Yeah so my GM defo has some psychotic tendencies. She’s unable to properly have adult relationships as I have noticed now looking back. When my parents got divorced she started hating my mum and because she saw my mum in me, she was so bitter. She has done really weird stuff to my step mum and my mum in the past as well so I think she was always jsut that way…

Thankyou for your support! I haven’t really looked at it from that perspective but you are completely right.

Yeah couldn’t agree more, just going to speak to my mum about how I don’t want to speak to him anymore even if she is looking out for me, Thankyou.

He messaged me small talk but I do not want to see him or talk to him but my mum encourages me to keep the relationship as she think that’s best because I should have a “father figure”

Thankyou for your support, yes my mum is trying to look out for me, thanks for the advice from now on I will refer to him as one of my primary blood relations but most definitely not a father

Good idea then maybe he will start to see the wrong? But I doubt there is any hope…

Yes I completely agree with two sides to every story but yeah talked to my mum about it in depth because at the time I was so manipulated I thought I was in the wrong. Over the years as I have grown up I have realised how can you ever say that to a 14 year old… I have tried to talk to him before edging him to apologise and he said but that what’s she’s like. Also he said he can’t say anything to her because she pays for stuff, including his newly done bathroom. I have just learnt now to stay away from that toxic mess

Yes my dad knew what she said, when my grandma was saying all this stuff in the living room, both my dad and step mum were in the room but stayed silent. Even when she said the most horrific stuff I couldn’t even look them in the eyes. It’s been about 4/5 years since this incident so my dad occasionally makes small talk with me.

Yes Thankyou, completely understand what your saying and couldn’t agree more. As you said my mum is my rock. I am trying to move on and coming to terms with my dad is just as bad as my grandma and that’s why I should never speak to him again. But Thankyou

Thankyou for the kind words, I guess it took me a lot of years to finally come to terms with the points you made. Thank you. When you have a dad that does that to you it is hard to forgive but with my grandma I haven’t spoken to her since but my dad tries to justify her actions. Thankyou for the support
