For a while now I have been emotionally abused by my father and his terrible fiance'. He invited her into our home to live about 2 years ago with her now 12 year old daughter. The fiance's name is April. April is a very insecure individual who aches for attention from my father. My father has very willingly accepted Makayla (the daughter) as his own without punishing her, yelling at her, getting her in trouble, etc. April, although, is the complete opposite. My father lost his job in NC so he recently had to move to Charleston, SC. He comes home 2 days a week.
She has very openly told my father that she does not want me here. April and I do not get along, at all. My mother died 10 months ago unexpectedly. Recently, April made up a story to my father saying my boyfriend and I were in the shower together (totally bogus and I still to this day haven't been able to figure out where she got that from). Anyways, she and I got in an argument and she made the comment "You have no family, they're all dead like your mother". I then proceeded to run out of the house and have a panic attack. I called my father and cried to him and explained what happened and he seemed very concerned; he told me to leave the house and go to work, so I did. Then later texted me saying "you lied, and I defended you". April had told him that I made the entire thing up. And he believed her. I was then on restriction for a week, even though I had done nothing. And thats just one scenario.
To my father, nothing I say or do is right. I've been called names such as "slut", "tramp", "a mistake", and many other hurtful and emotionally deteriorating terms. I have a 4.1GPA, am a starter on the Varsity volleyball team at my school, I have friends, I don't do drugs, so it's not like I am a terrible person. He knows that April wants me out of the house (I don't know why), yet he continues to stay with her. Yes he deserves happiness, but not over his own child's. I have had suicidal thoughts for the past 6 months due to the emotional abuse; I can't remember the last time I've gone a night without crying.
The issue is that she wants me gone and does everything in her power to get me shipped off, but he won't let me leave. I WANT to leave. I have options. I have family with a stable monetary/economic situation and who are more than willing to take me in. I have options. He knows the way he treats me is wrong, therefore he is ashamed and embarassed of the way it makes him look if he lets me leave. I am up to even go to boarding school! But he won't let me leave, because it's what I want to do. I'm just a year shy of graduation early and going to college. My great aunt and uncle have been here for me although he shut them out because I told them everything. They want me there. I feel wanted there. But he won't let me leave. I'm scared here. I'm always on restriction so it's not like I leave the house anyways. I have a job where I get paid every week, I have my own car, and I babysit for a lot of families to get extra money. I need something such as emancipation to help me. This short description of my situation doesn't do it's justice for it's just a paragraph on a website. If anyone is willing to give me advice I would be more than happy to give a more detailed description of what has been happening. Thank you so much. Meghan
