[Serious] Reddit, why do you hate your parents?

Because my dad let me and my sister be abused by his gf for 8 years and it only stopped when she was about to kill my dad with a cleaver when we visited on christmas and I grabbed her wrists, had an epic throwdown, forced my sister to get somewhere safe, left the house and called the cops. I had a court summons as she threatened my life and obviously attempted murder. I was 17 (20 now) at the time, still a minor, and my dad got our mail, even though I lived with my mom. He threw out my court summons, and dropped the case without my knowledge until I was 18, that's when I pieced it together. He holds the belief that she wouldn't have killed him, even though he was facing downward, shielding his head and didn't see what she was about to do and my sister forcibly pushed the whole situation out of her head and can't remember.

My mother, has been bipolar since we were kids and only when I moved in with her at 15 did it show more, she has mentally abused my sister and I for years and talks shit about us to this day to her friends saying we were terrible kids, when she called the police/ambulances, claiming we were high (my sister and I have never done drugs or even drank till we were about 19-20), having breakdowns, abusing her, and generally misbehaving when it was always her who wanted to start something as she has this craving need for drama and story-telling. She'd leave me locked out of the house for hours, only a couple times overnight, and constantly kick me out for anything, really. Anyways, she's a manipulative and bad person and no one can or should trust her. Only a handful of people know what she's like behind closed doors. It's even worse than the physical abuse.

Anyway that's why.

TL:DR- Dad let us be abused by his gf, mom is human trash who manipulates and mentally abuses my sister and I.
