Divorce can be tough on kids, but for one teen, it’s become unbearable. After her parents’ divorce in 2018, she found herself stuck in a nightmarish situation with her mom’s new husband and his son. The stepbrother’s obsession with her has made her life a living hell, and she’s had enough. Now, she’s decided to move back in with her dad for good, but her mom isn’t letting her go without a fight.
