i had a stereotypical evil stepmom that hated me undercover for decades.
she did all the evil shit evil step-parents did
emasculated me constantly
framed me for destruction around the house (in addition to the regular mess a child makes)
did interesting food experiments on me (any one with cooking roots to a specific culture knows what im talking about)
and generally made me regret any supposed favor she would do for me
…
i thought when i finally started to hate her, that she would stop
she would regret making the child she raised hate her
but what i didnt know was that
she hated me first
she hated me for longer
she hated me more completely than a child can comprehend
…
she single handedly reversed all the good my mother ever did for me
undid the relationship i had with my father
broke me up with a potential betrothed
ruined my life irreparably with the most impeccable stealth and style
_
life goes on
