I don't know why but my step mom and bio mom aren't good person to be around. They both are toxic and after I see them, I just want to runaway and just travel somewhere 😅. Now I am only focusing on my dad and just hope for the best.

At some point we have to become our own people and that usually comes with the biproduct of being able to see our "elders" or parents as equal to us in some way. When that happens it gets a lot harder to excuse abusive behaviors. I still talk to my intermediate family but in general I've been "solo" for a while. I can respect them as people and understand that we all have our own paths to follow... there's no more bitterness or victimhood there... it just is what it is I suppose. I think they meant well and did the best they could, but they have this intense need to tell me how to live my life and that just don't work for me. On some level it's probably a good thing you figured it out early. You're a good few years ahead of me at your age lol.
