Not a secret but now that I'm here I kinda feel like I'm at a good place basically my life has been a lie Mt dad has lied to me abt my mom and made me hate her for years jus to make him look like the good guy he has always been manipulative ajs selfish and mentally and emotionally abusing he caused Me to have a mental breakdown once he caused me to fail a test I need because I was grounded and couldn't use my school laptop which sucks. I get grounded for the stupidest stuff. He cares about himself more than me and my brother, or atleasg jts how he presents himself. I feel like I'm everyone's punching bag in my house and I don't feel loved or wanted. I get called an embarrassment and screamed at constantly. Tbh the only thing keeping me from ending it is my friends, and the thought that if I keep torturing myself till I'm 18 I won't have to put my fake family through some emotional damage that they would carry thr rest if their life. Everything j say has to he sarcastic so I don't hurt anyone bc I'm afraid to and no one takes me serious. I can't speak freely without being scared of being hit. I want to be with my mom. @gdisis on tiktok. Sometimes I wish I could have a better life yet again I wish I could just take the easy way out but hurting to many people is too big a risk.

I been thinking real hard about even relaying these awful things about the person that I have admired the most, the person I have respected and revered my whole life but that now, has completely backstabbed me in the worst way possible. A few years ago, a scandal broke in my political family involving my mother. As you can imagine, it nearly broke my marriage and tore my husband’s family apart. My sister in law found my father in law and my mom talking on social media. The worst part of it, when I was confronted, I was accused of knowing about the whole affair and made it looked like I was an accomplice to the whole ordeal. When I had absolutely no clue to such a disgusting mess. I don’t know what neither of them were trying to accomplish and now, I’m the black sheep of the family. No one talks to me. While my father in law is still loved and honored. My mother the home wrecker and I pay the sins of her ordeals. She never once has said I’m sorry. Never! In her head, I’m better off without that side of the family. But it’s not about that; why did she do this to me? Why my father in law? Among so many men? Why him! I guess I’m just looking for an explanation and I know I will never get it from her. Because she just cannot accept she did anything wrong. I wish I could get her version because as of now, I only know everyone else’s but her’s. I always thought I didn’t need to hear her side because it’s not my place to question her, but I have kids who now have to suffer for her sins as well. I don’t think it’s fair to them either. I guess the damage is done as well and the past is the past. I won’t get nothing accomplished but I just want an acknowledgment from her part that she messed up.
