stepmom falsely exed me of Assa LT to stop me from getting my dad's inheritance when I was 21 my dad believed her and decided to cut me off 7 years later my dad found out the truth hello everyone my biological parents split up when I was 9M and my parents got equal custody of me I would stay with my mom for 5 days a week since she lived near my school and my weekends were spent with my dad despite their divorce my parents have always been kind and gentle to me although I was unhappy that
my parents were not together I also understood that they loved me regardless of their relation ship with each other a couple of years later my dad met my stepmother Gina when my dad first introduced my stepmom to me I was 11 years old she seemed really nice to me and my dad looked so happy that we met hoping for us to get along she had twins Emma and Emily who were both 14 years old at that time and had basically only been raised by her since their father had been absent from the time of their
birth this is why the girls were quite immature for their age and would throw Tantrums publicly of Gina and my dad didn't buy them what they wanted or if things wouldn't go their way I was an introvert and completely opposite to them so I would sit silently and watch them embarrass themselves after a year of dating they decided to get married when I was 12 and even my mom attended their wedding I was so happy that I had a new member in our family who would also be there for me I thought my and stepmother
were getting along until I think a few months after their honeymoon she told me while we were alone one morning that she didn't really like me and that we just needed to pretend to like each other for my dad when he was around she continued to tell me that whenever my dad was not there I should not bother her since she hated seeing my face which reminded her so much of my mom my tiny heart broke hearing her cruel words words I did not expect her to say something like that I genuinely liked her and
thought that our relationship was going to be okay but alas she did not see me that way the twins of course heard her say this and they would later tease me about how I didn't have a dad and my dad loved them more than me I remember crying and telling my mom about this who immediately called up my dad and gave him a hearing my dad assured her that there was no way that stepmom would have said something like that to me and that I might have misheard her the next weekend when I came to
meet my father my stepmother seemed pissed she didn't say a word in front of my dad but as soon as he had left she furiously whispered to me about how she was going to make sure that I would not have a dad left in my life if I ever told my mom anything about her she also threatened me that she would divorce my dad and take away all his money so if I didn't want to see my dad living on the streets then I should keep my mouth shut I was just 12 years old and
I was frightened for my dad so I just nodded my head in agreement from that day forward Gina made it her personal mission to make my life hell in every way possible and because I was a child I thought I would have to take it with my mouth shut whenever it was just me and SM she would say things to get to me and I would just not say anything hoping and praying that she would stop bullying me she would talk about my height and weight and would say how ugly I was I hoped my
dad would notice but he never did in fact he thought Gina and I had a good relationship and would force me to go shopping SL eating with her and the kids she would take my dad's card to pay for our meals yet she would not let me eat anything in the restaurant I was only ever allowed to have soup or dessert but no main course I would sit miserably watching them finish off the main course while crying quietly I would then come back home hungry and she would then force me to go to bed hungry
there have been so many nights when I was would cry myself to sleep hungry and tired of her hate towards me at that point I was at my Wit's End scared angry and frustrated with both my stepmom and my dad this is why I would dread visiting my dad during the weekends and whenever it was Friday evening I would try to escape visiting my dad by coming up with excuses like stomach ache so I could stay over with my mom of course my parents started noticing this and my dad would call and tell me about
how sad he was for not getting to see me my mom would urge me to tell her if something was wrong but I would always keep my mouth shut still scared of Gina's threats when I was 14 years old my dad decided to take his entire family and me on a trip to Greece initially I did not want to go but my mother told me that this was a good opportunity for me to travel and experience the world so I begrudgingly decided to join them as usual Gina pretended to be all sweet and kind in
front of my dad hugging me and asking me about school as if she was genuinely interested in my life one thing I started noticing was that she would subtly tease me in her sweet voice which was insulting to me but at the same time it would not outrightly portray her as being mean for example whenever I talked about how I was playing basketball she would make jokes about how I should be taller if I wanted to play that sport even though I was quite tall for my age and would then say how I should concentrate
more on studies rather than Sports if I ever wanted to be something in my life the twins would then smirk and call me names like Meathead even though I had better grades than them my dad would notice this but would choose to ignore it whenever I would voice out that what she said made me uncomfortable and hurt my dad would insist that she was just teasing and that I should lighten up Gina would KN her head and tell my Dad how I had no sense of humor and that I should have some fun just like
she was this continued to happen through throughout the vacation and one day in a moment of anger when she and the twins were teasing me yet again about my weight while I was trying to enjoy the pool I decided to be vindictive I told the twins straight to their faces about how they both had double chin which was embarrassing and watched their faces fall I then turned to look at Gina and told her that she should not be wearing a shrug over her bikini because I could still see her huge stomach protruding out which made
her look like a penguin I watched Gina's face turn red in embarrassment and she got up to run back to the hotel room the twins started yelling at me for being sexist and saying how I was horrible to say this about them later they told my dad and he came to talk to me clearly pissed he asked if I had really talked to my step-mother and stepsisters that way and when I nodded he went on a rant about how he raised me better than this and how I should never talk to a woman about her
weight I argued back that they were talking about my weight my looks and my height yet my dad forced me to apologize to Gina Who apparently had locked herself in the washroom crying after what I had told her she and the twins made a big show about accepting my apologies when I returned back home I of course told my mom about all this and she again talked with my dad who was trying to blame me for everything but my mother threatened that if Gina ever commented about my weight or looks then she would call CPS
on my father this scared my father straight and I don't know how but Gina never said anything to me after that of course she and the twins would blatantly ignore my presence whenever my dad wasn't around but honestly I was fine with that during a time when I was 16 years old my mom was away for a few days I had to stay with my dad and Gina Gina had been complaining to my dad for a few days about how she hated cooking for one more member so on my last night I decided to take
over cooking dinner since my mother had taught me to cook from A very young age as she wanted me to be independent when my stepmom heard that I was going to cook she told me that she wanted to invite a few of her friends also I cooked set up the table and served dinner to everyone everyone seemed to love my food and even praised me later my Dad decided to clean the dishes so I was free to go to my room this is when I heard Gina and her friends talking very loudly outside my window
while I was in my room her friends were telling her how lucky she was to have a nice husband and such a great house when they mentioned how nice it was that I cooked for them that night stepmom immediately went on a rant about how annoying I was and that she couldn't stand seeing my face she told her friends how she couldn't wait until I was 18 so she wouldn't have to see me every weekend when one of her friends mentioned again how nice I seemed Gina told her that she had actually expected me to
fail and was hoping that I would mess up cooking the dishes so she would have something to blame me for this really shocked me because here I was trying to be polite to her even though I knew that she hated me but she seemed to have already made up her mind and refused to budge As Time passed this hate just kept growing during college when I went away I would sometimes come to visit my dad on his insistence for a few days but even then Gina would completely ignore me she would knowingly schedule family activities
with just Dad and the twins or her and the twins so they would not be around much while I would be stuck at home every time I would wake up late because it was my vacation time for Christ's sake she would yell at me and tell me how embarrassing I was she would call me lazy and inconsiderate if I made any messes around the house even though I would always clean it up I knew for a fact I was always respectful to her because my dad would have my head if I wasn't I was very
polite towards her and treated them very lightly to make sure I did not say or do anything that would upset her but it felt like it was not enough and that I was still doing something wrong she also was inconsiderate about my privacy she would loudly come into my room while I was sleeping and wake me up or barge into my room without bothering to knock which would make me extremely uncomfortable she would randomly check my room and under my bed for God knows what she would refuse to pick up dinner for me but would
do it for the family and would not invite me to come down for dinner regardless of this I would just keep my mouth shut and my head down and try to spend time with Dad whenever I could now coming on to the main incident when I I turned 21 my dad asked me to come visit him he told me how he had some important news to share it had been a while since I visited my dad so I was a bit apprehensive but my mother encouraged me to visit saying that he had some good news
for me I agreed and booked my tickets when I arrived I was greeted warmly by my dad at the airport and we drove back to his place I asked my dad what it was that he wanted to talk to me about but he assured me that he would reveal everything during the family dinner when we arrived I noticed that the twins were home also it had been a while since I had seen them Emma and Emily didn't even bother acknowledging my presence and neither did I that night during family dinner my dad started saying how
he was proud to have three wonderful children in his life he spoke about how Greatful he was to have such a loving family and how he wanted to share some exciting news the atmosphere seemed positive and I couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation as my dad continued speaking he looked at each of us with a smile including Gina who had been giving me icy glares all day my dad continued to say how he had recently lost his friend to a heart attack which had given him a harsh reality check and made him think
about how lucky he was to have all of us he had also spoken to a lawyer and made a will hearing the word will I immediately watched Gina and the twins perk up in excitement dad continued to say how he had carefully thought about it and decided to leave the house to stepmom since she was his wife Gina beamed in Pride hearing that and kissed him on the cheeks my dad lived in a five-bedroom house so if Gina ever decided to sell the place she could have a fortune dad then continued to say that he
had decided to leave me his entire retirement account money in his car now my dad's car was not an ordinary car it was a vintage car that he had spent a lot of money and time on maintaining the car held sentimental value for both of us as he had often shared stories of his Youth and Adventures associated with it I sat there still processing the information and realized that leaving the car to me was my dad's way of expressing his love as my dad spoke about how proud he was for me to inherit the car
Gina's expression shifted from Pride to discontent she exchanged glances with the twins who seemed equally displeased it was evident that the prospect of me inheriting a substantial amount of money in the cherished vintage car fueled their resentment dad seeming oblivious to the tension in the room went on to say how he would leave the twins the joint bank account that he and Gina shared Gina was a homemaker so the money belonged to my dad entirely he said that he wanted the money in that account to be equally divided between them he told them how they
would have money in this house to live in so they had nothing to ever worry about in case if something happened to him I was honestly fine with this Arrangement and it seemed fair to everyone also however the twins immediately expressed how they had expected more and that my dad should leave them his retirement account also since I did not need it anyway when my dad asked them why they would think think so Gina started saying that I was a guy so I should find my own way of living while they were women and would
need more money for financial stability my dad reminded Gina that he had already provided her children with college funds and now they would even get their house and bank account so they had absolutely nothing to worry about Gina kept insisting how I didn't deserve so much money but my dad reiterated that his mind was made up I was sitting quietly and listening while they continued to argue suddenly out of nowhere Gina burst out crying we looked at her concerned and my dad told her that this wasn't even something to cry about since he had Fairly
divided everything Gina between sobs started saying how she had kept her mouth shut for all these years to protect the family but that she could no longer take it anymore the room fell into an awkward silence and my dad and I exchanged puzzled glances despite the tension he gently urged Gina to share whatever was burdening her amidst sobs Gina began to say how a few years ago I had tried to force myself on her but she had tried to hide it to protect me I was taken about back shocked by the unexpected accusation before I
could even process what was happening Gina began to elaborate on her false claims she told my dad that after our vacation in Greece where we had that argument over weight and height I would always stare at her and try to come into her bedroom Uninvited I sat Frozen in my chair as she continued to fabricate a story about how I would try to barge and every time she had a shower or come too close to her face when we were alone she told my dad how she dreaded having me over every weekend because of this
since she was afraid that I would do this with the twins too I tried to defend myself furiously denying the baseless accusations and yelling at her for having the audacity to even make up such claims but Gina continued to cry like a victim she spoke about how as I started to grow older I would make her more and more uncomfortable and on one occasion when she and I were alone I tried to force myself on her my eyes widened in shock and blood drained from her face after hearing such a huge accusation from her lips
my dad looked confused and concerned and his eyes darted for me and to Gina clearly at a loss for words to say Gina kept telling her story saying she suffered in silence for years afraid to speak up for the sake of the family I yelled at Gina that she was a psycho since there was no way that I had ever even looked at her inappropriately let alone touched her Gina yelled back that she was no longer going to keep her mouth shut and that she needed to expose a monster like me the twins started shouting
at me furiously for putting their mother through all this and used words like rapist and molester my head was spinning and all of this felt like a bad dream I couldn't even imagine how a pleasant evening had turned into wild accusations being thrown at me I looked at my dad for support but he kept quite clearly trying to process everything that Gina had said he asked her if what she had spoken was true and Gina nodded saying she would never lie to him about his own son and that as his wife he should believe him
while I tried to defend myself my dad asked her again about why she didn't speak about this earlier and Gina told him how she was afraid no one would believe her since I was a minor who was trying to do inappropriate things with her after all she was the stepmother who had married my dad so people would not take her word so she had to Bear all this silently to protect the family I was crying at this point begging my dad to not believe her I had never imagined that Gina was vile enough to make
up such atrocious things even after what she had put me through all those years unfortunately Gina's manipulation had taken its toll on my relationship with my dad and he seemed torn between trusting me and believing the woman he had married the twins influenced by their mother's narrative chimed in with support for Gina's false accusations and yelled at me to get out of their house I yelled back that this was my dad's place and that they shouldn't believe what their mother was saying since it wasn't true my dad was sitting quietly in the midst of chaos
he then looked up at me and told me that I needed to leave the house until this matter was resolved it felt like a punch to the gut being rejected by my own father who was believing his second wife over me hurt confused and betrayed I packed my belongings and left the home I once thought was mine I flew straight to be with my mother who was shocked to see me at her doorstep when I told her everything she was beside herself with rage and was ready to go face up with stepmom but I requested
her to not do something like that since there was no guarantee about how psycho genena was if she could make up such crazy lies just to get me kicked out of my dad's house just because she was upset at what I was going to inherit then she could make up a lot more to destroy my life I couldn't take the risk of having her in my life any longer and this is why I decided to cut off my dad permanently since he had chosen to believe her he didn't deserve to have me in his life
later I heard from my mom that my dad did call and tell her about how he was ashamed to have a son like me and that he wanted nothing to do with me my mom tried to defend but it fell on deaf ears she also received a lot of flack from my dad's side of the family who believed Gina's story as well and told my mother that she had raised a pervert I can't even imagine how painful it must have been for my mother to have heard these words about her son clearly the damage was
done and G had won I wish I could write that my life started improving after cutting her off but it didn't Gina and the twins would continue to send me a barrage of text messages saying unspeakable things and threatening that I should stay away from my dad forever it became so bad that I had to change my number just to escape them things didn't improve for me even after that because after what Gina had put me through I was scared of being with Slash near any woman I was scared that I would be again falsely
accused of something like this and lose my job and career I was afraid to meet anyone or go out on dates throughout all this mom has stood by me and believed me I went through severe depressive and suicidal episodes and my mom flew to live with me for a couple coup of months so I would be all right slowly my mental health recovered and I started to live my life eventually I met a wonderful woman named Mara who brought the sunshine into my life she has absolutely changed my life and my mom Ador her as
well Mara and Mom are everything to me and thanks to them I continue to live my life with a purpose just a week ago I received a call from an unknown number thinking it might have been Amazon I picked it up to my shock it was Dad I was taken aback by hearing his voice the first thing he told me was how much he had missed me it had been a long time almost 7 years since I had heard from him he sounded old I asked him about how he got my new number since not
a lot of family members had it but my dad dodged the question and asked me if I was doing okay I kept quiet and then told him to not bother me again since I had nothing to tell him this is when my dad broke down and started to cry he begged me to forgive him and kept saying how bad he was to have abandoned his own son my curiosity peaked and I waited for him to explain himself that is when my dad started to say how Gina had been cheating on him with his best friend
for a few years and after he confronted her with proof she didn't even bother hiding any longer and said how she was tired of being married to a pathetic man like him Gina revealed to him that she had only married him for his money and that she hated being someone like him when my dad kept pushing her for more truth she finally admitted how she had made up all those accusations about me because she hated me as well and wanted all my dad's wealth for herself and her daughter because they deserved it as you can
imagine my dad divorced her and she got nothing from the marriage since she had an affair even though her lawyers tried to fight for alimony my dad continued to say how he had been waiting to divorce Gus so he could officially get in touch with me and apologize for what he had put me through he said how he wanted to catch up on lost time so we could have a better fatherson relationship At The Mention Of father and son I couldn't help but scoff I told him that he was no Father of Mine after how
he quickly abandoned me for his wife's nasty accusations I told him that I wanted nothing to do with him and didn't want him to bother me anymore I cut the call and hoped that he would get the message however since then I have been bombarded with calls from my dad and his side of the family who I don't even talk with about how my dad has suffered enough and I am just making it harder on him I feel conflicted with their messages Ida for refusing to talk with my dad after he cut me off for
false accusations by Gina update one okay so my post was locked but hopefully it's okay now I've posted the link and tried my best with spacing I'm on mobile for all the support and advice received I really appreciate and I'm wholeheartedly so grateful to all who helped me to see how I was thank you to explain a bit further I am not just furious at my dad for believing my stepmother over me but also for all those years she harassed me and he did nothing to protect me I was the child and she blackmailed and
manipulated me while I would keep quiet I have never told anyone about that I think it's time I open up about this to my mom and let her know exactly what I went through since I know she will understand update to hi everyone it's been a week since I updated for everyone concerned about my mental health I am doing okay thank you everyone for being so kind now first things first I booked tickets for my mom to come and visit me so I could tell her and Mara everything they already knew something was up with
me I started to tell them about how dad had contacted me after all these years which shocked my mom she asked me why he did so and I told her she had no idea that he had gone through a divorce and was furious at Gina for what she had put everyone through then I told both of them about how Gina would manipulate me when I was just 12 years old I told them about how she would bully me while Dad wasn't around and would threaten to divorce him if I ever decided to tell him I
didn't realize how traumatic these events were when I started to slowly open up about all those incidents that had happened to me one by one by the time I was done recounting I had tears streaming down my face marshes and my mom were crying quietly as well my mom immediately got up to hug me and kept repeating how I should not have held this all in and that it was okay for me to share this I cried for half an hour straight while my mom continued to hug me Mara also told me how no child
should have gone through this and that it was completely fine if I chose to not speak to my dad ever again since he should have done a better job protecting me my mom nodded and told me that I didn't have any obligations to explain anything to my dad because when I needed him the most he chose to believe his wife over me and the only reason he was contacting me now was because he was lonely and had no family left this is when I realized that that they were indeed right my dad perhaps never really
loved me because had he really loved me and known me he would have never believed that I was capable enough to sexually assault someone since then my mind has been made up after the conversation after years I feel so much lighter saying all my past with Gina out loud to my mom and Marsha I have blocked my dad and will continue to block any other family member who decides to interject in my life I owe no explanations to the ones who chose to abandon me update three wow I wrote this post 6 months ago and
I can't believe how much my life has changed since I want to start by sharing something happy I proposed to Mara and she said yes my mom is happy for us and we're thinking about moving closer to her because the schools are better there both of us can work from anywhere so it makes sense for our future family I've also started therapy thanks to the advice of people on rdit it's helping me feel better step by step I'm trying to focus on the good things in my life like Marsha and my mom they've been there
for me and I'm grateful for their support the past has been tough but I'm looking ahead to a brighter future free from all the lies and drama
