Let's Not Meet Again

Step Monster

So my mom left the picture when I was three, she literally picked up one day and just walked out. So for a long time it was just my dad and I. I'm a male and at the time my dad met Tammy I was 13. I was chubby and at the time small for my age, I still had my baby fat. I was and still am a nerd, so is my dad and we shared a love of Star Wars, comic books, and science fiction.

My dad decided he needed to met someone, he was lonely and I thought it would be nice to have a mother figure. This was before online dating and there was still personals in the paper. My dad filled out an ad and it wasn't long before he met Tammy.

I remember him telling me about her and how happy he looked, they dated for a month before my dad figured it was getting serious and he wanted to introduce me to her.

So my dad decided to take us out for dinner than a movie. I remember my grandma helping me to get dressed and I was super nervous to meet her. She seemed nice at first, but even at that age I could sense something was off.

We went to Sizzlers for dinner and my dad told me to order whatever I liked, he then excused himself to the bathroom. I smiled at Tammy went to say something and she cuts me off, telling me my dads been letting me eat whatever I wanted and that I'm a fat little piggy. She demonstrated this by actually fucking making pig noises. I was crushed, I mean honestly I wasn't very heavy maybe a little chubby but no obese like some children are today. My dad actually didn't let me eat whatever I wanted, but anyways back to the story.

She ignored me until my dad came back and then played nice, I for my dads sake faked being nice too her. I wanted to tell my dad what she said but I didn't want to disappoint him or upset him. My dad was and is my best friend. Anyway so I hoped and prayed my dad would realize what a bitch she was and come to his senses but sadly no he didn't.

They dated steadily and when I was fifteen Tammy moved in, now that summer I finally lost my baby fat and grew like a good foot or two, my dads six foot three so it wasn't surprising that I shot up to almost six feet by age 15, puberty kicked in to and my voice was doing that weird cracking thing.

I made it a point to avoid Tammy, I went to school, came home and stayed in my room did homework and wait for my dad to get home. However she started in on me most days as soon as I walked in, she'd always find something, I was a looser, I was stupid, etc. just cruel, mean things. The few times I told my dad he just insisted we all needed to adjust. So I just decided I could put up with her for three more years for my dads sake then I was out of there.

The next three years sucked, her insults got meaner, she also would do things like put glass, pieces of paper, and sand in my food. And just my plate, I started refusing to eat her food I was terrified shed poison me. It was around this time my dad and her got married.

Graduation came, I was so relieved I was set to enlist in the army. I planned on being in basic by July, but of course she had to try to ruin that. My recruiter got a call from someone saying I smoked pot and did drugs, thankfully I passed my drug test but I know it was her.

One night before I left for boot camp my dad had a huge party for me, she had tried to cancel it earlier claiming she was sick but by that point my dad had already invited most of my family and friends and wasn't going to cancel. She pouted the entire time, I started to see that my dad was kind starting to see past her facade.

Let's skip a few more years, and I get leave I've been deployed twice now and I hadn't seen my dad in 22 months so I was dying to see him. He had told me in previous conversations that their marriage was pretty much over. She not only was controlling, and verbally abusive but a few weeks prior she had knocked my dad out with a cast iron skillet. He had given her an ultimatum of a month to get out or he was throwing her crap out.

The night I got in was late, my dad picked me up and we game home, she was gone supposedly she had started moving her crap into her sisters and was pretty much staying most nights there. So dad and I eat, and we get to bed. Around one I feel my bed move, I'm exhausted and figure it's my dads dog Caeser a German Shepard. That's when I feel hands go around my neck and my solider instincts kick in, I flip the intruder over and subdue them, my dad runs in and flips the light on, he's got his gun out. Surprise suprise it's my step monster. Dad calls the police, files a restraining order, serves her with divorce papers.

A lot more shit happens such as her destroying my dads new Mercedes but I won't bore you with details. What matters is they are divorced and I never have to see that bitch again so Tammy let's not meet ever again
