In reply to My stepfather is making me CRAZY, posted by woolav on August 10, 2004, at 8:24:49
My 1st thought about this situation is that you need some distance from this for awhile. When someone is as sick as you describe as your stepfather, you need to stay away mentally. They will draw you into their sickness as well.
You have to do what is safe for your mind. You have put up with this personality for years. You don't have to take the abuse as your mother is choosing to do. Sometimes, you have to lose someone you love if they aren't protecting themselves from this too. In other words, you can choose how much interaction from this person you are having now. I do hope you aren't in the house hold with him. If you are, I would be strongly motivated to get out.
My father is one sick pup and I haven't seen him in years. I haven't and will not see him. I have to keep myself safe. So, you do not have to put up with what your mother is. The decision is up to you now.
