This my 1st post so forgive me if I get it wrong. A little background.My mom met her husband when I was 10 yrs old. I liked him at first, but was afraid to get close to him. Because no man in my life ever really lasted. Now S was friendly when I 1st met him. That changed very quickly. He did everything he was supposed to do, as a man coming in to a situation with a woman who had 3 kids already. But as I got older, he began to not like me. To put some context in it. I am black and my mom’s husband was white. The things he used to say to us as kids were.I used to be racist before I met your mom. Since I seem to be the only person who had a problem with what he was saying, he hated me for it. Once on my birthday, he chased me down a flight of stairs with a string of lite m80’s. Mind you I didn’t have on shoes & it was the summer time. When I started crying he said he was just playing with me. Now granted that was only a year after him, and my mom got together. Things only got worse after that. It got so bad that I moved out at 16. At 19 I was pregnant & afraid. As I grew closer to giving birth, he became more insistent on being in the delivery room with my mom. I told him no & my mom told him no. I came over my mom’s house 1 day and he was the only one there. He told me he was so happy them.I finally changed my mind. When I asked him what he was talking about, he said, my mom told him that I said yes to him being in the delivery room. So I confronted her with it and asked her, why would she tell him that. She says she never told him that he told her I said yes. So I sat them both down and reminded them that the only people who were going to be in the delivery room were the people who had to be & my mom. I thought he understood because he said he did. Call my delivery date and I’m full blown in labor. And the nurses ask, who do you want to be in the room? And I say, just my mom. He almost cusses me out and walks out. To this day, I do not regret my decision. I just find it so funny. This someone can be so adamant that they have to see your birth.

I find it creepy. Like, he’s been oddly hateful and now he wants to see you at your most vulnerable? It’s giving me some weird vibes…
