Growing up (when my parents were together) I had a close relationship with my father and a very distant relationship with my mum but it is only because she was depressed during the whole time when they were together, she had me at 18 and was too scared to leave my father as he would physically, mentally and vermally abuse her a long with mind manipulate her.
When they broke up however, my Dad got a new girlfriend and started to neglect me and my two siblings (who are autistic) and mostly focused his time on his step son. The neglect got so bad to the point where he wouldn't feed us, he had never taken me or picked me up from work, just never got me anything for my birthday etc (all when I lived with him). His family continuously loves to play games with my head including himself which has resulted counselling sessions. A month ago I ran away to live with my mum and still need to go back to his to get the rest of my stuff and my dog. So yeah, he is dead beat of a father which is nothing but an abusive piece of ****. (There is way more to the story but its too touchy to talk about it)
My mother however, is simply my best friend. She pays for all my school fees (I go to a private school so very expensive, she works 2 hours away for 5 days and comes home for 4 days and she does it all for us, she takes us places and she always gives me advice because she doesn't want me to live the life she did. I think she is very cautious of me considering she takes me to counselling sessions when sometimes I have nothing wrong with me, but I know she loves me dearly and I am grateful for how hard she fights for my happiness.
So yeah,
Mum - Best mother and son relationship. Like a best friend to me.
Dad - Abusive, controlling, mind-manipulating, selfish, arrogant, and vile pig. No words can describe what he has put me and my siblings through. He now has a new child with his partner but I am very cautious for his partner and my half brother & step brother because they are in the same situation mum, me and my siblings were in
