Growing up, my stepfather was physically, verbally, and emotionally abusive towards my mother. He also mistreated me, and my mother never protected me. During the abuse, my mother relied on me for emotional support. She even told me that if anything happened to her, I should take care of my sisters because she thought he might kill her. By high school, I was severely depressed and self-harming, and I moved in with my aunt. In university, my mother apologized, but I still refused to go to her house because I could not be around my stepfather. The hardest part was that she never left him. It made me feel like I was never important enough to protect. My half-sisters got the peaceful childhood and high school years that I never had, and I've always wondered if I simply wasn't enough. She later told me she was only staying because she couldn't afford to leave. Today, I found out she is pregnant with his child. I blocked her. Am I dtm?
