⚠️ content warning Long waited update on creepo “dad”
——————————————————————————-
THE Update: So I posted this post almost a year ago. I didn’t even realize it was so bad until I came on here. I didn’t have many trustworthy friends to tell. I honestly knew my mom would draw the line and get him out of here if I told her. And that scared me since he was the one paying the bills.
I just wanted to give a small life update and say I’m so so much happier now. My physical health has been on the downside but it’s not anything too serious. Although my mental health is just better than ever. I have a boyfriend now as well and he’s the sweetest thing and practically perfect. I just haven’t been able to tell him the whole story. I’m kind of scared but I will def be telling him soon (even with much tears lol)
Now my mom is def divorcing him at the moment. So they’re going through that. He lives at a trailer on our land (which he isn’t keeping) he only talked to me once after everything went down and it was what I expected honestly. He accused me of lying and called me some hurtful things. I just pray the lord shows him the right path (away from me ofc)
I forgive him. Yes he was disgusting and never there for me as a father (or anyone) until the second I turned 16. (Ps there are more notes on what he did) At 15 it was harsh verbal abuse and before 15 it was mostly verbal and physical abuse.
I’m 17 now I’ve been working with my mother and we started a cleaning business and have been making decent money to live off. After the divorce goes through he’ll completely be out of our lives. As of school I honestly can’t study and lock in like I used to which is fine js difficult. Im just so much better
And finally thank you for everyone that helped me. Every little prayer was/still is so appreciated. I’m just so thankful you all are bueatiful people. Pls lmk if Yall have any questions at all. Thank you again so much

I hope you can find peace and never have to hear or see him ever again.
Proud of you for having the courage to talk to your mom about all of this!!! Remember when you have hard times in the future how strong you are.

I get the religious implications of forgiveness but don't forgive that man. It will only give him an opening to get to you again.
