My stepmom was that way I hate her

I’m sorry he’s treated you that way. Emotional abuse is very scarring. It sounds like a situation no one can get out of. It would take your mom standing up to him & kicking him out, but if she can’t support the family on her own, that makes it very difficult.

@marsbar she wants to leave him, she's wanted to for years but she can't and she doesn't. Its really sad to see her struggle some days. I want to help her get out of there but she feels like she has to stay, especially when she's having to take care of his mom. It's just so complicated and toxic. You end up feeling so hopeless and trapped

@LunarSkies That is awful. It would be easier for her to leave if there were no more children living at home, but I suspect they’re still pretty young. It sounds like a vicious cycle. I’m glad you’re out from under that roof.
It feels so bad having to be someone other than yourself.

I had parents like that. To the outside world, they looked like the perfect parents. But behind closed doors, they were terrorizing. I grew up in fear of both of them. It wasn't until they both died that I could tell people how it really was living with them. They were surprised because it's not how they were thought of.

There WERE some people who were scared of my dad. They told me only after he had died. I never knew it before then.

I'm so sorry about your circumstances. I can relate.
