Moving in with my dad to escape my sister. AITA?

Growing up with my sister Hannah was a nightmare. She constantly argued with me and destroyed my things. When I told my dad how miserable I was, he offered to take care of me. I begged to move in with him and his new wife in Portland.

My mom agreed, and it worked out. I finally had a family where I felt safe and loved. But recently, Hannah found out that I moved in with my dad because of her behavior. She’s now back in therapy and feels terrible about it.
