Growing up in Chicago, my parents split when I was 10. My dad was abusive, and my mom tried her best, but home was never safe. When I was 16, a creepy stranger started stalking me online and in real life. Years later, my mom started dating—and living with—this same man. I felt betrayed, angry, and completely lost. Every family visit, he’s there, silently watching, and I can’t even talk to my mom alone. I asked for just a few hours without him, but my mom and grandma told me to get over it or not come at all. Even my partner thinks I’m being dramatic. Am I wrong for wanting boundaries? How do you rebuild trust when your own family chooses someone who hurt you? Please, tell me—what would you do if you were me? 😤😭🤡 #FamilyDrama #TrustIssues #ToxicRelationships #RomanticRelationships
