Literally the best thing happened today
So here’s a little backstory, I’m almost of age to get my drivers permit. And my mom just divorced a toxic guy who was verbally abusive. He was my step dad. Well my mom got back together with a guy she’s known for 20 years and now we live with him. I already consider him as my new step dad, and I have mega trust issues lol.
Today me and my new step dad went to go to the store right? Well I always say how I wanna learn how to drive and not be yelled at for messing up or asking questions, ex step dad would yell at me is I messed up or asked questions. So when I went to go get into the truck with my new step dad he tossed me the keys and said “you drive out of the neighborhood and then I’ll drive the rest of the way” (we live in a stupid rual area, like the nearest grocery store is 15 minutes away) and so I got in and he showed me what everything meant and when I had questions he answered them and he made sure to stay calm (he knows how badly ex step dad treated me and my mom so yelling and getting mad at me often causes a trauma response and I cry- tbh I did that before ex step dad cause my bio dad was a- uh “character”) and when I finally started to have the car move I freaked out a bit, he has a large truck, he made sure to keep me calm and told me what to do and honestly he was amazing at helping me ONG! Of course there was one time I almost drove into a ditch- but he reacted appropriately and just helped me correct the steering! He didn’t yell nothing! Ofc I apologized a thousand times- I know this doesn’t seem like much but it means a lot to me and I just needed to tell someone about it so here I am lol! Anyways thank you for reading!❤️
