I've no idea what role my dad might have played in saving me from discard. One of the last things the stepmother said to me before I left was that she had told him she was ready to get rid of me, and he told her to do whatever she wanted. I don't know if that's true. It may have been a ploy to convince me that my own dad agreed with her negative assessment of me.
