60. Why Didn't My Dad Protect Me?

For our bonus show The Freudian Slip and to support us please go to our Patreon What do you do when your stepmother insists you treat her as though she was your biological mother? After her mother died when she was 2, our listener's dad married a woman who insisted she was called mum, and everyone pretend that she was the bio mum. Years of emotional abuse follow, and now our listener asks how she can detach herself from her parents.
