It's a long, complicated story, but I'll try to keep it short. Here's what I thought happened: our family moved to a big city in the Lowlands from a small town in the northern Highlands, because my mum had been offered a job position and if she didn't take it, the company she worked for would go out of business.
My mum got my dad this awesome job. She and my dad divorced shortly after. My mum met my stepdad through work that she fell in love with and later married. Several years later, they had a child who is my half-sister.
What actually happened: my mum and stepdad had been having an affair for months before we moved, while my mum and dad were still married. When my dad got his "awesome" job, he and my mum were already divorced and she had nothing to do with it.
They lied and plotted to get my dad to move down to the Lowlands(by making up the BS about my mum's job; in reality, she didn't have to move for her job at all and the company would've been fine), where my stepdad lived full time, so he could be with my mum.
My mum was pregnant with my stepdad's child while she was still married to my dad, but she had a miscarriage and that child died(not my half-sister, a different child).
My dad literally found out about the affair when he was working in his study, and as a 2 year old child, I walked into the study and started messing with the phone.
I pressed the answering machine button and my dad saw this 4 digit code(he worked in telecommunications) that was used to hide voicemails somehow(can't remember exactly how it worked or how my dad found the voicemails from that point).
he found and heard around 40 voicemails that my stepdad made to my mum, about how much he loved her and couldn't wait to move in.
My mum and stepdad tried to get full custody of my biological sister and me, trying to say that my dad was verbally and physically abusive which could not be further from the truth.
It was a long tedious, court battle that my dad ended up winning, and my mum and dad got joint custody of me and my sister.
Sorry that was so long, but that was also the shortened version, believe it or not.
