I get where you’re coming from , my mother and I finally got away from my stepdad who was the main inspiration for both Femi and Jain. In fact he was as bad as them both put together. He didn’t hang my pet he secretly snuck fatty human food into my dogs food bowl despite us telling him hundreds of times not to . The result was a dog that vomited and shit itself nearly every day until finally dying of old age. He gaslit me and my mother into thinking we were crazy/ needy for telling him not to clean the house with bleach because it triggered my mom’s sarcoidosis .
The second dog I got . I checked the food bowl before letting him eat it. My stepdad then “fell” on my dog causing him to have chronic pain in the spot people usually pet him. My dad proceeded to let people pet him in that area and nearly got us evicted from our apartment. All of this happened while I was attending college for my gunsmithing degree and it significantly my grades .eventually had to move and purchase a house, have my grandmother move in with us so we could split the cost four ways. He then gaslit me into burning a 20+ years worth collection of games,consoles, DVDs and memorabilia. Then proceeded to become even worse . Causing me to have a mental breakdown because the things I used to cope with were now a pile of ash. My mom kicks him out and 3 days before Christmas he has his lawyer sent us a document demanding we sell the house and give him half the money. I hate my stepdad more than I’ve hated anyone else in my entire life. But I Forgive him. Forgiveness in this context is letting go of all the things I rightfully feel he owes me so I can cut him from my life like the cancer he is. I’m not going to talk to him ever again,I’m not singing around the campfire with him.
The life sized Boba fett cardboard standee that he intentionally left out in the rain. The limited edition toys r us holographic yoda promotional revenge of the sith action figure unopened that was also left out in the rain along with my collection of light sabers (I was able to save a few but the rest were ruined)The yugioh cards that he stepped on while I was s going through them in my room (I specifically told him not to come in my room while I was talking to him through my open bedroom door. And he came in and made sure to step on as many as possible) the plastic box that the card the cards were in that he nearly cut his foot open with while “tripping” (stomping on out of spite and claiming it was an accident . I was able to recover a majority of them but the ones I couldn’t had extrem sentimental value as they were given to me by my childhood friend Joey .)
The things I burned because he gaslit me into thinking it would help make him a better father to me/ husband to my mother (the consoles themselves are all us models. Most games are us releases as well with one exception though some games and attachments specify us because the Japanese versions are easily confused due to them being chronologically released and marketed out of order depending on if you live in Japan or the rest of the world aside.
