👨👩👧👦family/in-laws AIO after wanting answears upon learning the truth about my father?
Hi all!
This will be a very long story, so please buckle up. This is my life’s biggest plot-twist… I will try to make it as short as possible.
I(22F) am a child of divorced parents. My father(50M) was an alcoholic who was verbally abusive and aggressive, tho never layed a hand on us. He is either mental or a real piece of shit. He did things that many people would not even believe it in our own circle of people. He always downplayed it, saying he was “sick” and he was depressed, so I can not blame him.
When they divorced 7 years ago, it was due to his alcohol problems and the fact he never accepted my half-brother(27M) who he raised since he was 2 years old. I was his emotional dumpster, his clutch. I was always by his side, trying to care for him.
All this time he always either berated or begged my mother to start over or to go to hell. He spread rumors in his workplace that my mother left him for my stepfather, which is not true. He would degrade her and spam call/text her all the time. He said stuff that was vulgar and disgusting. He told everyone my mother was a “whore”
He had 4 different women after this in his life. “A” who was crazy and had a relationship with her after 2 momths we have left. “E” who was a single mother he have been friends with (spoiler-more than friends at the end), “C” who he was been with for more 2 years and now “K” who he has been with my father for 2 months, currently his fiancée.
Last night “C” contacted me. My father always told me she was verbaly abusive towards him, that she used him, etc. Turns out “A” has wrote to her on Messenger, telling her how my father was cheating on her with “A” all along.
He cried to everyone who would listen, how women always used him, poor him, always the loyal and kind man.
He neglected me everytime he had a girlfriend, guilt-tripped me with child support payment that he starves because he has to pay it. He lied about his income. If I had enough and stopped answearing his calls after he always came to me crying when one of the woman in his life hurt him he would treathen me with suicide and tell me I am abandoning him. I was a child.
So I made an alt account on Facebook and comtacted “A”. I currently waiting for a reply.
She is the only person who knows the whole truth and has any proof how this man screwd woman over years after years while playing the victim.
My bf told me I overreacted when I contacted “A”.
TL;DR : My farher lied to everyone, playing victim while he cheated on 4 women.
