I feel so stupid (RANT)

Former Member

I live with my mom and step dad along with my siblings.

Me and one of my little sisters share a room, today around 8am this morning I was woken up to see someone on top of me opening the blinds.

I was scared so I screamed then I got hit by my step dad, I didn’t know it was him I didn’t recognize who it was I just seen someone over me.

He hit me in my face and told me to “hush” because I was going to wake up my little sister. I hate him so much .

He’s such a bad person and even bad step dad I wish my mom would let him go … im sorry for ranting

I’m so sorry you had to experience that. Are you okay? He shouldn’t have hit you, sure i think anyone would react to same if they woke up and saw someone on top of them.

He should’ve waited for you to wake up before messing with the blinds.

Jeez it sounds like it was so scary

@Slinky yes im okay it’s not out of the ordinary for him to hit anyways

I'm glad you're okay @Amille_Zayr, as @Slinky explained anyone would respond the same way if they woke up and noticed someone on top of them, so if he wanted things to turn out that way because he knew you'd react that way, that's unacceptable.

And whether he meant for things to turn out that way or not, he should've apologised.

Hey @Amille_Zayr,

I'm really sorry to hear you are experiencing this. Your step dad shouldn't be hitting you and he is completely in the wrong here. Your home should always be a safe space and you are so deserving of that. What is your support system like outside of The Mix?
