What if it were the step mother who left you with the monster knowing what he was doing? I recently remembered a lie that she told us for YEARS. She said that the marriage counselor they were seeing helped her escape. The counselor knew how he was and what a monster he was. Helped her and my step brother leave, left me there. A counselor by law would have to report the abuse if she knew. I would have been removed from the home. This just hit me, she lied this whole time thinking I would never put 2 and 2 together. How do I forgive this?
My protective side wants so bad to call her. We haven't spoke since October at my brothers funeral.
