He would cancel our visitations with excuses of emergencies but then our friends would call us asking if we at the theme park as they just saw my dad and his family. Since the divorce my older brother and I tried to maintain a relationship with him, calling him, trying to visit etc with him always avoiding it. My father abandoned my family, getting remarried six months later to a lady with four sons, replacing them with the two he had from my mother. My parents divorced when I was 10 years old and attending boarding school. So I'm now 15 and it's been 7, almost 8 months.

But after two months of living with my grandpa, my mom leaves, she missed my birthday, Christmas, New Year's and so on. My stepdad kept contacting me and my mom with threats and everything, so I blocked him on everything. After begging my mom for years, we moved to my grandpa's. I wanted to leave anyway, but that pushed me toward the edge. So this went on for 6 years, and I later found out at 14 that he wasn't my dad, so I wanted to leave. I tried to call the cops, but my mom said we had nowhere to go. He said she deserved it because she would leave for weeks. But my stepdad was abusing my mom, and I was so used to it that I thought it was normal. My dad left me when I was 6 months, or so that's what my mom told me what happened. My mom wasn't even the one to tell me that he wasn't he was. The man I grew up with wasn't my real dad, but I always thought he was.
