Ugh, I just need somewhere to vent this, sorry for the huge post.
Over a year ago, my stepdad ended up being some creepy sociopath who had like 10 other wives and took everything from me: our house, our money, and our own mom, who, without a plan, was forced to stay on a friend's land in the wilderness for ten months in the freezing cold weather, nearly driving her mad. My sister and I were staying at my dad's house during this time, and that was bad enough already. My dad tries to be a good parent, but he really isn't; he will do anything to make my mom look bad and keeps taking her to pointless court hearings, he can barely fill his pantry with enough food for us when we stay there, and he puts his interests and hobbies first instead of his own children. Needless to say, he acts more of an immature college friend than a parent in my eyes. The ten months I spent with my dad were terrible. I hardly ate, I hardly saw my mom, and I hardly even got out of my bed. Eight months in and I could hardly run because my knees were so sore and weak from sitting 24/7. I don't even want to imagine what my mom went through staying in a tent for ten months. Despite her condition, however, she did everything in her power to get our old house back. Later on I decided to do some investigating of my own. I checked (I just hate calling him my former stepdad, let's call him Joel); I checked Joel's twitter account. Turns out he was trying to get revenge on my mom for fighting back. He had attempted to stalk my own sister on her twitter, spamming her friends and classmates to get to her. Of course, it didn't work because this man is mentally insane and my sister's friends are smart. Eventually he stepped it up even higher and started emailing my mom. He said stuff like "a woman should know her place" and he will "unleash his wrath" upon our family. He had attempted to lie to the court and claim that he was the one being abused (this did not work either, my mom later went to court herself to hold him accountable). In July of 2016, my mom managed to get us a temporary house while we go through the screwed-up court system to get our old one back (they stalled that case for ages because the people assigned on it were incredibly lazy and only cared about money, but that's another subject). Even after that, Joel still continued to threaten my mom, claiming to know our address (he probably doesn't, he just likes to scare us) and threatening to take my sister and I away from her. It was all dumb blind threats until recently. We are scheduled to move into our old house on February 14th (still skeptical of this), my dad and I are on relatively good terms, and I may be getting a job soon; all good stuff. Earlier this month, however, my dad scheduled yet another custody hearing in an effort to get more time with us (this never works, he doesn't realize that now me and my sister pretty much decide when we wanna be with him). I thought it would just be another boring court case, but today I found out that my dad has been in contact with Joel for months, planning to use him as a witness in this court case. My dad always believed my mom was partially at fault for her eviction because he never sees the truth, but even through all that he always told me that he knew Joel was a horrible person and he would never let Joel into our lives again. My dad promised to protect us despite his views towards my mom. He promised that we could always talk to him if we felt sad or scared about all of this. But now I've realized it was all a big lie. Joel is only saying what my dad wants to hear; none of it is true, but my dad sided with Joel anyway because now I see that he will do ANYTHING to make my mom look bad. He has sided with the man who stalked my sister, abused my mother, and threatened to take us away. I don't even know if I can look at my dad again. He doesn't realize I know about this yet; he assumes that I'll never find out because "I'm just a kid," which is absolute crap. I'm almost 18 and I've been through enough to know the truth. Still, I don't know how to confront him about it, or if I'm even strong enough. I have no idea what to do anymore, and I'm afraid that if I saw him or Joel again, I would burst out in violence. I still want a relationship with my dad though. He is a good parent, deep down. He loves me and my sister dearly, but he just can't move on from his rage against my mom. I just don't know how to handle any of this anymore.

R I'm a sad pathetic excuse for a person who just wants to find someone but will probably die alone wallowing in his own self pity and jealousy of others.
