Our toxic family members are experts at concealing their abusive behaviors just slightly under public radar so that when we complain about the hurt they have made us feel, our complaints fall on deaf ears. This level of slyness allows our toxic family members to walk away looking innocent and unfairly accused while we appear emotionally unstable. This is the most infuriating part for us.
My biological father when 2 cops came after I called 911 after he chased me up the stairs. I ran to the bathroom which had a broken lock. I had to push the door closed with my elbows and hold my legs and feet stretched against the opposite side, using friction to keep the door closed as my biological father kept barging and banging while yelling "YOU BITCH!" to me.
Luckily, I had my cellphone with me and I called 911 as soon as I coud. "My dad's chasing me! My dad is trying to get me!" My mom had made it in time for my call and she pleaded for my dad to stop because I'm already calling the police. I don't know how he talked his way out of it when they arrived, but I ended up packing my things and leaving. I heard him say to the two police officers "I just want her to be safe". He was the only one who ever put me in danger.
