I've posted about my family issues before. My stepfather started his relationship with my mother as a crazy alcoholic, then after he got sober thanks to a DUI conviction became gradually more verbally abusive, and eventually went back to occasional drinking. My mom always stayed due to forgiving him too easily, money issues, and worrying about the effect it would have on their daughter. Things looked better for a little while when he started getting psychiatric treatment, but then he started drinking and then eventually quit getting treatment. He also lost his job when he started getting treatment and couldn't seem to keep another one, his rich adoptive parents(who enable him) helped him keep living here. Then he got into another argument with my mom and said something so ridiculous I laughed. So he told me to shut the f**k up and I argued with him. Then my sister, who's 14, got annoyed and sent his adoptive parents an email when they blamed his drinking on my mom, so they sent it to him and he emailed her saying "I guess I don't have a daughter" and saying she was a "lost cause". So I feel like this whole relationship has been a massive waste of time that's been hugely detrimental to my mental health and I really hate his guts and don't feel like there's anything that can make up for how big a piece of s**t he is.
