It's a really long story and Id be happy to provide more details if anyone wants them but essentially, I (as well as my sister) have decided to completely cut off my family.

My mom and dad are divorced, my mom is married to my stepdad and my dad and stepmom got divorced after my dad cheated multiple times. I'll give a brief overview of all four of them and like I said, I'll give more details for any of them if requested.

Mom - the biggest narcissist I have ever met. She somehow always finds a way to make everything about her. She'll ask general questions like, "How was your day?" and then completely ignore everything being said, sometimes even going as far as getting annoyed that someone else is talking about their day when she's the one that asked. Blames me for saving her from her suicide attempt that I accidentally witnessed after coming home from school when I was 12.

Stepdad - Uses my sister and I for financial gain. When I turned 18, he had a conversation with me about how child support for me was ending soon and that he needed to find a way to come up with the $800 that was going to stop being paid. I explained that they could start by not paying for every subscription streaming service known to ma. My stepdad also has a very bad habit of NEEDING the newest thing. Newest phone, newest car, newest security camera. Hes never able to pay anything off and is constantly having to make payments on things because of this. He then told me that I could do my fair share to help out (I worked a part-time job and only made $300 a month that was being put toward my own car payment and insurance, swallowing my entire income.) He is also convinced that the US government will collapse any day now and that Americans will be forced to fend for themselves. Given the world we live in right now, fair enough but ever since I can remember, he has also spent upwards of $1000 every two weeks to buy food in bulk just for it to expire in a month and be thrown away. What really got to me was my sister asking for help paying for her college and him telling her that him and my mom don't have any money, then a week later dropping $70000 to renovate the kitchen. I understand that they have no obligation to help my sister pay for her college but they could have st least told the truth.

Stepmom - Used to be verbally abusive to my sister in high school. Ever since the divorce with my dad, she's continuously put all her money toward rescuing pets, specifically cats. Which like, yay cats!! But she can't afford anything else and she takes my dad to court to take whatever money she can to fund her unhealthy obsession.

Dad - Probably the worst one and yet also the hardest one. Consistently cheated on my mom and stepmom growing up. Admitted to thinking of my sister and I as a burden to his life. Makes a ridiculous amount of money that he consistently tries to give me even tho I refuse it (I've made it this far without him) but refuses to help my sister pay for her college with that same money. Took my out of therapy after witnessing my mom's suicide attempt when I was 12 because "real men don't need therapy." Tried to get full custody of my sister and I so he could use us as pawns the next time him and my mom decided to take each other to court to bicker about stupid stuff.

All four of them have gotten better now that my sister and I are older but all I remember whenever things are this good in my family is all the bad that comes with it after it all comes crashing down. I'm afraid the damage has been done and if they want contact, it's going to be on my terms. But maybe I am being too harsh. I would love some input
