[quote=Anonymous]You're making the right decision, OP, but you're focusing too much on the stepmother. Your father has a huge role in this. You describe him as someone who flees (the driving around on Christmas)...he's your father and he has subjected you (and your sisters too) to a toxic environment for years. He should have been protecting his children rather than fleeing in self-preservation all this time. Now he has the audacity to tell you to essentially get in line?  Your father is a terrible enabler and you need to acknowledge his role in a this too rather than defining his situation as the result of having the misfortune of marrying yet another with mental issues. In some strange way it is probably a nice change for your family to focus someone else with anger and blame...it's a nice distraction. And don't think your SM isn't secretly loving this. Wow, she gets to play the victim and feel as if her family is rallying Around her. Talk about rewarding bad behavior. I'm sorry OP. stick to your guns and share a bit of your outrage with dad.
