What a terrible disappointment for all of you, but you have certainly described it well! And I suspect things won't get any better for a while...

What a nightmare. And somehow it seems much worse when it's a happy dream of anticipation which turns into a nightmare. Looking forward to the next episode.

It had to be a rude awakening! Your poor mom, caught in the middle! This man is such a monster! I loved how she stayed up attempting to clean to make it home for her children! She is an awesome person! sam

l It wasn’t hell but it sure looked like it. It felt traumatic. However your mother was determined to find the gold at the end of the rainbow. No matter what she had a dream love. BC-A, Bill’s RJLst

It's awful, but since you started with a rainbow...
I'm hoping things will improve. As for the stepfather, what a schmuck!

What a story you have to tell. I know everybody has a story with some good parts and some bad parts. But yours seems to go from bad to worse.
