I did mean the stepmother. It's too bad people like her get away with the things they do. As for your father, are you remaining vague about him on purpose? If you don't want to spill the beans about what he's capable of doing, that's totally fine, but I can tell you from experience that talking about your fears is the best way to overcome them.
Well, let's just say he lifted me off of my *bunk* bed and was about to slam me to the ground when my sister showed up. He's constantly made threats to cut me off from my friends, remove me from the school system and make it so that I can't do anything other than sit on the sofa and stare at the wall. I cook for him, I clean for him, I'm at his beck and call. If I burn the food a little or it's under cooked, it's because I'm thinking about something else and he'll, in his own words "Rip *me* away from everything *I* love and take *me* away from school because if *I* have nothing but school to think about, *he* should take it away and make it so that *I* have only cooking and cleaning to think about."
I'd say it's a pretty valid reason to fear him.
