My Stepmum telling us that my Mum was "trying to kill her" and that "she sent people to get her" but the worst of all I came home from school one day to she my dog in the hallway with bandages on her side. My step mum said my mum tried to stab her but the dog jumped up in time to save her and she took the blow. The dog was okay in the end. But the truly messed up part was that she wanted to ruin our lives by making stuff up about my mum and that My step mum stabbed her dog. She stole money off someone and framed my dad and so she went to jail for 2 years and my dad 6 months It took years for me and my brother to trust our mum again. My dad told my a few years ago that she admitted to her mum to planning to kill me and blame it on my brother (he was not even 9 years old at this time) and ruin our lives further.

(She was a sociopath and still I dont know how she could stab her own dog - I still think about that sometimes)
