I'm feeling so angry right now...I just need to vent a bit
At the beginning of the year I had to move back home, due to my agoraphobia. I'm living with my Dad,Step Mum and little brother now....I've lived away from home since the age of 16,so it's testing to say the least!
My step mum seems to fit the stereotype of the wicked stepmother portrayed in Snow White ect. Although we used to get on, these days she takes all her pleasure in making others suffer...she's a nasty piece of work indeed. She is constantly abusive towards my Dad and has ground him right down, he finally had enough and is filing for divorce. The whole seven years they have been married she has used every excuse to belittle him and ridicule him. She constantly critices him as a father and takes great joy in telling him what failures his kids are and that it's his fault!! Nowadays she directs her nastiness towards me too, although she will never do it to my face she is constantly being nasty behind my back. I have never said or done anything that warrents this, so it came as a shock to me when I found out. She is so petty and childish, she goes out of her way to wind up people...doing silly things like pouring all the water out of the kettle and water filter last thing at night so theres none in there for my dads morning cup of coffee...and yes I do know it's on purpose as she told me this, thinking it was funny!
On Sunday night, she left a big disgusting mess in the kitchen and didnt bother even attempting to clean it up....then when she got home the next evening she went crazy at my dad for not clearing it up (despite him having worked a 12 hour day) it was her mess, and her area (each person is responsible for different rooms cleaning, hers is the kitchen of her own choice). She then proceeded to take pictures of the mess (she had left) as 'evidence'. This evening she has been taking pictures of the microwave, that I failed to clean (despite the fact I don't use it)...asking me would be sufficient.
The incident which was the final straw for my dad goes as follows. We urgently needed some bread and marg. from the shop so my dad told her he was popping to the shops to get them but she said she'd do it later instead (lord knows why). Hours went by, she still hadnt been. Then at 9pm she announced she was going down the pub and would go to the 24hr later on. My dad was awoken at 4.30am (this was on a weekday and also woke me up) by her banging around very noisily in the kitchen, so he got up and asked in a sleepy tone what the noise was....at which point she went *mental* and started screaming and shouting at him for not immediately saying thank you?! She then threw a cup of boiling hot coffee at him and burnt his arm. Ontop of all that, instead of only getting the 2 items we needed, she spent £300 on a load of crap that was completely unecessary and had the audacity to charge me and my dad for it!!
She has run up £20,000 of debt on her credit card and is somehow blaming my dad for this too?? I have no idea what the hell she has spent this money on, she just keeps buying 'stuff'.
I could spend all day listing the vile and nasty things she has done, these aren't the worst just more recent.
I'm so sick of her disgusting behaviour, but I don't know what to do. She quite clearly needs professional help but will never accept this. My nerves are shot, I'm completely on edge and it is setting my recovery back huge amounts. My anxiety is sky high. Agggghhhhh!
Rant over....for now
