Wow, that's a dilemma. I've got a similar relationship with my dad, my stepdad is great though. The closest thing to advice I can offer is that you have to ask yourself if your love for your mom outweighs your hate for your stepdad. Think long and hard about if you can really leave your mother to that kind of situation. If you're anything like me, I owe absolutely everything that I am to my mom and would do anything to help her. You'll probably cool down and think about this rationally, and I certainly don't envy your situation. Just make sure that you firmly believe in your stance, abandoning a family member often hurts you as much as the one who gets abandoned.
