Long story short I'm NC with my mum, stepdad and unfortunately my half-siblings due to EA
EA was mainly from my stepdad (DGM thinks it was due to resentment because my existence meant DM had to stay in contact with DF) He essentially bullied me from when I was seven years old.
I've been NC for nearly three years and I've always regretted not seeing my half siblings (they're much younger than me so hard to see them without seeing DM and SF) but now I'm questioning being NC with DM
Now its been so long and I've been without that abusive behaviour for so long I'm starting to wonder if DM is in fact being abused too. I'm remembering times when she's slipped me extra money for Christmas presents with a shush don't tell, always with a smile but I still knew SF would throw a strop if he knew.
But then I remember the times she joined in with the bullying and I'm just really confused and I need an impartial opinion?
