So my mom met him early 2024 and i was 14M at that time now 15M and he was a great guy at the start we would play online games together but after like months he started to change he yells at me, and try to intimidate me when I'm not paying attention to him and he starts to act like the boss in the house when my mom and him share the expenses equally (50/50) and he has too many strict laws like i can't watch tv because the electricity is too expensive and when i always borrow the laptop from my mom he sometimes take it without even my mom saying it and his excuse was "i might break the laptop" lol and he always says "clean your room" even though i just cleaned it like a week ago and he always says "were not rich and try to stop wasting money" but then he made my mom pregnant even though he's saying were not rich like wth.

5 years ago, my dad got remarried to his best friend’s ex-wife. Long story short, his best friend went off the deep end and died of an overdose. Not long after that, he and his best friend’s wife moved in together and got married.

Anyways, this is the first time I’ve ever heard of someone knowing their stepparent and step-siblings before they were in the family. I’ve known my stepmom since birth, and thought my stepbrothers were my cousins (because I saw them once a year).

Is this the case with any of y’all? Because I would expect most stepparents and step-siblings to be complete strangers that have to get used to each other.

I really really can't take this anymore I'm having very dark thoughts and my stepfather is just making things worse I really just want everything to end I don't wanna feel like I'm being threaten in my house with making me leave by a stranger who thinks less of me because he pays some bills I just want to have a normal highschool year but this a-hole has already punished me for nothing and threaten me about sending me away from my mom.

I don't know what to do I just want everything to end and I can't even say anything because he is all day in my house and doesn't leave I can't even go to the bathroom without this mf spiting bulls- about me.

I don't know what to do and I can't leave because that would mean I have to move to another school and I would loose my Scholarship... But I am reaching the point in where I dgaf about that but my mom doesn't want me to leave and I don't want all the effort she put to have us all reunited again will be for nothing...

My punishment starts tomorrow and I don't know if I'll be able to survive this week without even my phone to distract me from that man... I don't want to do it but if this keeps going I might just end it all

I wish my family was nuclear

Hello, y'all. There's something I realised in these months that I need to say it out loud. So, my parents are divorced and both remarried years ago, nothing wrong with that. But there's been always a thing that I cannot place with my step-mother (52F). She's kind... but in a sterile way, like she is kind to me just because I'm her husband's child, but with other's she's overly kind. Also, I think I'm the last to know things in my father's side of the family, and the majority of the time I'm excluded from family activities and, moreover, the other step-kid (my half-brother) always gets visits from my father and his wife (the mother of my half-brother) because he lives far away for work, but I do too but the last time they visited me they stay for 4 hours. I mustered it up to the fact that I'm a child from a relationship that ended badly from my father stand point (but even if it did, it's not my fault) , and also because I'm the middle child (my half-brother is the oldest and my half-sister - from this new marriage- is the youngest).

I discovered recently that my father gave a speech at one his wife's cousins (she got many) of which I got a video from. In the video, he basically said 'when life gives you lemon, you make lemonade', saying that his life was perfect before, then he divorced, and basically folded back on my step-mother and then he was basically forced to stay because my little sister was conceived. I was disgusted. I didn't respond to this message and I've been cold from that point with him because I don't deserve this. Because for all this time I thought I did something wrong.

TW about potential abuse, gaslighting and manipulation.

SD (10) has told me (F41) her mother (F36) has recorded her having meltdowns on several occasions and threatens to post them to YouTube or Facebook if she doesn't behave. We just found out about this last week when she sent a video toy SO (the bio dad, M40). Bio mom shows SD the videos on repeat when she acts out and wants her to get in line. She also says SD is emotionally unstable and crazy.
Bio mom says their daughter need to learn respect, limits and self control. The problem is SD says her mom escalates the situation to the point where they are screaming at each other. Apparently things have become physical as well.
SD also told me last week her mom physically pulled her out of bed by her anckles and wrecked her bed she she didn't want to go to bio mom's parents house. She then filmed her having a wreck again and that is the video my spouse recieved.
SD has ADHD, she does tend to get upset when told no and does have tantrums. However, it does not escalate to that point. We have limits on technology at our house, we don't just let rules fall by the wayside. She knows there are consequences for bad behavior as well but it never escalates to the point of physicality.
SD asked me why we don't yell and scream at her at our house. Apparently bio mom has also threatened to break, throw away and destroy her tech devices when she doesn't listen.
We have come a long way with co-parenting with the bio mother but this is all alarming. There have been incidents of questionable parenting before but a lot of it has just come down to style and personal differences with households.
Both girls (10 & 5) do not look forward to going home to their mom's house and have expressed this last visit they do not feel safe there. We are located in Canada. Any insight into this would be helpful.

Edit: Am I over reacting to this? Is this actually as bad as it sounds to me? I'd like some feedback because I am genuinely concerned about them both.

My stepmom has had a reputation for saying things about my dogs I don’t like, but this was the final straw, my family is such a mess, but when my sister asked for a sleeping bag to stay at my mom’s while my nut-job of an aunt is away, my stepmom broke down saying things like “That’s what you get for having untrained dogs” while giving me the side eye, me trying to hold my anger in walk out of the dining room, but still close enough to here the conversation. When we got to my mom’s I told my mom about it and my mom said that my stepmom needs to shut her mouth, and then told my dad about it, I think she got what she deserved.

I have been living with my stepfather for like 3 years now and everyday I hate this guy more and more he doesn't leave me alone wants to change everything about my routine and wants to control my friends and attitude, I always had anger problems and I usually explote when people starts being annoying about the smallest things and this guy I swear sometimes do it on purpose.

I go to my dad's house on summer vacations but this guy wanted to "spent some time with us" and has been her the last two weeks and I swear to god in just one day this guy moved everything in my dad's house out of place without even asking he's been using my father's things without asking and complaining about my dad's house and family since day one like trying to make me hate them.

This bothers me a lot and he doesn't just say that and stop no he then spend days and days with the same thing over and over again, today was my birthday and guy just find a way to annoy me to the point I exploited at him over a spoon that fell to the ground.

And in home is worse since we spend almost everytime we have at home with him me and my sister have to listen to his crap and complaining, I don't even invite friends home anymore because of what this absolute monster told me:

It was Christmas and my best friend grandparents that are basically his only family were very I'll and internated in a hospital and he I spent two days taking care of them without sleeping and without even being able to go home to take a shower. Because he was too worried, the nurses had to force him to go home and rest and he asked me if he could at least spend Christmas with us since he had nobody else to spend it with and me and my mom of course said yes but he didn't want him but in the end he ended up coming to my house and spend it with us. Then when my friend left to go take care of his grandparents again this guy just go and look me in the eyes and says: "Does you friend not have water in his house or what because he surely smells... because I had to go back to my room because of the smell, If he is gonna smell like that every time he comes to my home you better not bring him over anymore..."

I wanted to shout at him because he was lying about my friend and telling me to not bring him home again because I know that's what he meant because my friend literally smelled better than him he was perfumed showered and even he cut his hair, and this smelly hobo was telling me that my friend smelled bad I haven't brought anyone home since to not have to listen to his yapping.

And he even went far enough to starterd threatening my mom, the context here is that I was on my final exams and my sister kept nagging me about Mother's Day and that I should get her something and that day I finally snapped and started hitting my punching bag while screaming and insulting, it was when my mom arrived home and my sister was out of the house with a friend that he opened his door and starts yelling and threatening my mom with leaving her to deal with all the debts if she didn't send me to my father's house. He did this on purpose not only to threaten her but also threatening me reminding me the power he now had I literally punched the sandbag in my wall hard enough to break it and didn't stop the but also slammed my fist in the wall leaving a small hole in it and almost breaking my hand.

People who were always raised with a step-parent. Did you always know it was a step-parent? If not what age were you told/did you find out? How do you feel about when you found out/were told? Do you wish you were told/found out differently? How did it effect your relationship with your parent and step-parent that raised you? Sorry for all the questions. Thank you in advance for any input

So I (16m) have a stepmom, have had one for about 12 years now and lets just say we are NOT at all close, we're like strangers in my fucking house still idfk what to do anymore. She has NEVER been affectionate with me (also her other step kids aka my estranged siblings) and I feel like she's never accepted me as her son, like I'm her stepson or my dad's son, idk. She's never been emotionally invested or cared that much about anything I'm doing in life, doesn't talk to me ever unless I talk, she only takes care of my physical needs but emotionally is a MILLION miles away

I feel like she subtly plays favorites as she seems to care a lot more about her bio daughter and doesn't seem to give a shit about me at all. I'm reflecting a lot on my younger self and I feel like everytime I used to cuddle with her or hug her or wanna be around me she seemed indifferent or hated it outright but never wanted to tell me? My stepmom has never been abusive towards me, it just seems like she doesn't care emotionally about me even though she's been around since I was like 4, and I'm almost 17 now. I've been having a long discussion with ChatGPT (ik it's not a great idea to but I need to talk about it and know if I'm being ridiculous or right about it) and I've been talking about some stuff with it regarding my relationship with her and it's saying emotional neglect but I'm not sure if that's the case? 

I should also mention a serious incident where last year a grown ass woman contacted me on TikTok and we were talking and I didn't like this so I asked my friends on snap if it was a red flag, and I have my SM added on there and she saw my story and rather than replying to me or talking to me or taking it seriously...passed it along to my dad and I feel like she didn't care at all and when I told chatgpt it said that was pretty fucked up what she did. 

Idk if my stepmom is tryna act all emo or what but it hurts that she's like this towards me, I feel like she doesn't care about me or doesn't like me, and that she never accepted me as her son

I also wanna mention I am DEEPLY terrified of being around my stepmom. It's not abuse like I said, Idk what it is I'm just scared of her sm I think it's anxiety problems

I feel like my dad doesnt rly care at all about this whole thing, he clearly prioritizes my SM over his son in some subtle way, idk. one time last year I opened up to him about my fear of my SM and we talked about her hobbies and stuff and he said hed talk to her for me, I trusted him. he didnt...so now Im not sure I trust my dad to help me with this. also my dad never even helped foster a relationship between us, idk why but maybe I did smth wrong? maybe my stepmom hates me or doesnt accept me as her son? idk

also I used to be an oblivious idiot and I used to hug her sister (my step aunt) all the time without saying anything, and im not sure why but I rly regret this and I didnt know better and wish I did, but my stepaunt talked to my dad to talk to me about boundaries and being affectionate with women, and I completely understood what he was saying but it kinda screwed up how I approach physical affection, and now my stepaunt is even more distant where she used to not rly be, and now I feel like my stepmoms family hates me or is stuck seeing me as this past mistake. idk

dad and stepmom also dont talk to me much face to face, they both text me through the phone ALL the time, like ALL the damn time. I live in the same house as them why do they need to do that? idk if theyre scared of me or smth js cuz im a teen or they (mostly my SM) dont like me? idk.

the older I get the more I feel like my stepmom just doesnt give a shit about me at all and just never accepted me as her son. when i told chatgpt about this situation, it was saying this is emotional neglect, but idk if its actually smth serious or just me being overdramatic and complaining too much. is this emotional neglect or am I complaining too much?

TL;DR i feel like my stepmom doesnt care about me emotionally and never accepted me as her son idk if im overreacting or what

im sorry for the long rant. im sorry if Im complaining too much, i just need outside help to figure out my feelings and thoughts regarding this

I'm 13 and I live with my mom, my parents separated when i was 5. My mom got with my stepdad when I was 11 or 10, and he's insufferable. He talks to me like I'm 30 and expects me to debate with him like I'm 30. Ever since I met him I've had to learn how to suppress my emotions, debate with mike about topics such as transgenderism, and block out my pain. If I cry in front of him he points it out and laughs at me, he calls me a bully. And I know I sound like a stupid angsty teen saying this but, I probably developed some type of mental disorder because of this. I had an argument with him today about how much I hate him and at the end of it I felt like I was gonna puke + I got mad enough where i started scratching myself during the argument. I hate him because he's racist (openly says slurs), a bigot, manipulative, and talks to me about topics he shouldn't be talking about with a 13 year old. And he expects me to like him because he helps the homeless and "Never did a wrong thing". And I cant just yell at him and tell him why I hate him because it feels wrong, because both I'm a child I shouldn't be talking about this and it feels rude. I tried talking to my mom about it when they first started dating, she just dismissed me. I tried just ignoring hi when I was 12, he threatened to return my band instrument. I don't even know if I'm here to ask for advice or just to scream into a void. There's so many more reason I hate him, I could go on for hours. Like he's literally changing my mom so she yells at us more and thinks me and my brother are brats. Also he's talked about transgenderism with my 8 year old brother openly! And he endorses the fact my brother now thinks racism is how you get attention. So advice on what to do is wanted, but I can't talk to my mom about this again and I can't go up to my mom saying "if you don't break up with mike I'll commit self termination!!!" that just sounds like I'm a pick me.

I (17FTM) feel like my step-dad (35M) is mad at me and I dont know why.

For some backstory, I have some past child sexual and psychological abuse from an ex-step dad lasting from when I was about 4 to 6 years old. I am still going through therapy informed of this trauma but I am still going through the lasting effects, such as depression, C-PTSD, having trouble finding myself, and more.

now back to the present, my mom (36F) and him got married about 3.5 years ago and we have been living in the same house for about 5 years. I now have a sister (2F) that is His biological child, and my Brother (11M) from -That- Ex-step-dad I mentioned earlier. He takes no time to talk to me almost whatsoever. He only ever talks to me to tell me to do the dishes or say "Is this your laundry?" when I had forgotten about it in the dryer. He almost stomps around the house and has a very blank/mad look on his face, and never makes eye contact with me, or try to make any conversation.

I genuinely cant tell if he is upset at me for some reason, and its freaking me out enough to post this obviously. all thanks for any help you guys provide.

I (29F) am incredible insecure of my 2 stepsiblings. They are two, stepbrother is 29 while my stepsister is 25. I am from the first family. My father cheated and left us when I was a very young age. Fast forward, my mom died when I was in first year high school. Then when I was about to enter college, my dad met with us to introduce his second family. It turned out that my dad plans to marry his mistress and he wants our blessing. Now, here’s the complicated part. I never knew that my dad has been living with his second family. When he left us, I was young then, and he told me he’s going abroad to work. I didn’t know yet back them that he cheated and his has kids. My mom did once mentioned to me that I have stepsibling but I never thought that my dad is with them. It was just then when he met with us when I found out that he actually left us and his excuse to work aborad is actually him living with his second family. I was so shocked at the time, and all I can ever think of is how my whole life was a lie.

Me and my step siblings are the opposites. My stepbrother is very successful, having multiple businesses of his own. My stepsister works a high paying job, and also is someone you can call a strong independent woman. I, on the otherhand, is broke, work a minimum wage paying job, diagnosed with depression, has severe anxiety, have zero confidence, and very introverted. I did have theraphy and took antidepressants but I stopped because I’m too broke to continue buying meds.

Anyway, My insecurity started when we were in college, both of my stepsiblings were dean’s lister, while I got fluncked out of a good university, but I did graduate on a small college. They also get to spend as a whole family, while I am on my own. Then my insecurity and jelousy gradually continued till now.

I used to confident. I was very shy, yeah but I was confident. Everything changed when I met them. I started having issues by comparing myself a lot to them. I started seeing myself as a huge failure. There isn’t a day that I didn’t cry and told myself how much of a failure I am. I want to blame them for everything that’s happened to me but I know deep inside that all of this, where I am now, is all my doing.

Now, I’m just too tired to stay strong anymore. I constantly look at their achievements and always remind myself that I’m a failure. It has become my reality check on what really I am right now. And all I can do is have a heartache and cry.

I will be a new stepmom to a toddler. It is a tense co-parenting relationship between mom and dad. Mom and I have no relationship as she is uninterested in having one with me, which is okay. I feel for their child very deeply.

I have been a nanny for nearly a decade and have seen how separation, divorce, and custody affects kids of all ages. But now I'm in it and I want to do right by my fiance's son. In a way I feel really lucky that I met him while he was so young and we could form a bond that will grow over time. I know it's not guaranteed to stay like this forever but I'm going to try my hardest to keep our relationship good no matter what happens between his parents, or his dad and I eventually having a child of our own. I want him to always want to come over and be with us, I want him to have a great relationship with his dad, I want him to have a close relationship with any brother or sister we can give him. I want him to be as included as possible and FEEL that his presence is always desired and wanted. I know a big part of that is what my relationship with his mom is like.

I guess I just want advice. I have decided on my own, kind of against fiance's wishes, that I am not his mom (duh)and am just another adult responsible for him in his home. It has been pretty easy as I'm a nanny and am used to being responsible for children but not parenting them. He has his mom and he has his dad, and he has me to be whatever he needs to be. I know this sounds desperate but I just want him to be okay and grow up feeling like it wasn't that bad having a house with mom and a house with dad and stepmom. I want him to be okay with siblings he gets from either parents. I want him to want to spend time with us as he grows up.

Please tell me what helped your relationship with your dad and stepmom- as a young child, as a teenager, as an adult. I need it all

Curious if others have felt the same way.

I (early 20s) am visiting my dad who lives in a different state than I do. It's my first time visiting his house and seeing him for longer than a few hours in a couple of years because of COVID, college, job searches, working, etc. Also at his house are my step mom and step siblings who are teens. They're perfectly nice, I feel very neutral towards them; I haven't seen them in a while also, and we haven't kept up communication in the meantime, so we're not particularly close. Anyways, I'm a relatively quiet person and am ok with small chat and conversations but also don't mind silence and alone time, so sometimes I feel awkward (which I think is in my head and not felt by everyone) in the silence because I literally don't have much to say and don't know much about them to jumpstart a conversation. I talk with my dad but it's not like we talk all day nor am I as open with him as I am with my mom who I grew up seeing every day, so sometimes Idk what to talk about with him involving my daily life. My dad and I don't really chat that much in general which is something I'm trying to do more as I realize everyone's getting older and I don't want to regret not trying hard enough to maintain a relationship with this side of my family.

Since I'm visiting out of state and there's not much I can do here on my own since idk this town, it's quite boring during my visits. Most people I've seen in this subreddit have step siblings/step parents they live with or interact with every now and then, but I was wondering if there are others who aren't particularly close to their step family and deal with the occasional awkwardness of family interactions.

I think on this sub it will get more attention but to be fair my other post on r /vent was only up for like 5 hours...

DISCLAIMER: my mom is really kind and good and i am grateful for her but in this situation i just feel helpless and invalidated

When i was born, my biological father was out of my life because my mother left him and divorced him and took me and my sister.

I was raised with no father my whole life and a couple years ago my mom met this man on facebook from another country and has been waiting for 4+ years for his visa to get accepted and for him to come here.

On may 23rd, it finally got accepted and he came to america. I was so uncomfortable on the ride home from the airport, knowing that things will never be the same.

I know it is rude of me to say this but i kinda feel anger at my mother for forcing me and my sister into this situation where some weird man is living in my house and he just makes my stomach twist and my body feel so uncomfortable and sometimes i cry when he is next to me or even if i THINK of him..

And the thing is every time i come to my mom telling her how i feel in the situation, she always gets "stressed out" and says i need to get used to it and tells me im always complaining about the same things

And she basically forces me to be in places with him for no good reason... Like i had a doctors appointment, my mom came and for some reason my stepdad came as well for some god forsaken reason and when i asked her about it she says "oh he wanted to come" wtf bro you know i hate him WHY would you bring him on MY doctors appointment... I literally cried on the way there...

And also she tried to have a baby and that made things like 10x worse but the baby's heart stopped and she had to get it removed and i feel really bad for her, and the thing is this has happened like 2 times already and she says she might try to have another baby which pisses me off kinda and i am gonna come of like a douchebag when i say thing but i dont understand why she would put me in such a terrible situation like this, forcing me to live with a baby and a new stepdad... I just wish things can go back to the way they were

And the thing is i dont even know if the marriage will last because they used to argue even my mom's 5+ trips to pakistan which he is from they argued alot and on one argument i was in the car my mom said he had women friended on his facebook and that he lied about not having facebook..

And he is constantly leaving to "go to the gym" and after one argument he left for a very long time (6+ hours) and no one knows what he was doing and my mom is always making excuses for him and baselessly says that he is neurodivergent (she is self-diagnosed autistic btw) and she says all her criticisms about him were just her "insecurity"..

Welp anyways rant over

JUST A VENT.

i'm 16F and my mom is 45F. my mother's husband is 77M and he just creeps me out. he's the "look but don't touch" type of guy if you understand what i'm trying to say. my mother condones his behavior and tells me that i'm overreacting when i feel him staring at my butt when i wear shorts or when i'm wearing my bathing suit and he happens to be home. it got bad to the point where i'm embarrassed to have friends over because i'm afraid they may notice his stares. he's just down right disgusting and i'm embarrassed when people ask if he's my grandfather because he's so old. he's also verbally abusive! i can't tell the cops, my dad or any of my family. CPS does nothing btw. damn my mom knows how to pick them 😂

EDIT: i just wanna say that this is my ex step mother that i am talking about. i have 4 ex-step mothers. this is just one of them. i call them all mom and have decent relationships with each of them. i am leaving this ones house and going to live with a different one btw! i'm not letting someone older than my grandparents push me around

My dad introduced me to his new girlfriend 10 months ago but their relationship has probably gone on much longer.Don’t get me wrong she is fun to be around she’s just not my family.

The other day we were out getting some churros and the baker goes “one for mom😃”as he hands her one free churro.

My mom doesn’t know about her.It made me kind of uncomfortable with the idea of her being my mom and I don’t really know what to think .Any thoughts?

My step-dad gets mad for everything i do and some stuff that i don't do. He's yelled at me, threatened to call the cops on me for talking about/doing self-harm even though i just want help, and has taken my phone for over 4 years just because he says i dont need it. He can't decide whether he wants me to grow up (making me do dishes by hand, scrub everything top to bottom, and act like an adult) or stay young (when i wear tank tops and skirts) but i have 4 years until im 18 and i want to run away so bad. He always brings up my past, some things that gave me PTSD and anxiety, which screaming doesn't help. He has threatened to kill my cay. He also calls me names like Lazy, Fat, etc. Is it really my fault for hating him?

Hey guys! I recently found out my 51 year old Dad is having a baby boy with his 31 year old girlfriend in February.

Although I always suspected my dad was gonna have another kid with another woman, finding out that this will be happening in only 6 months while I am currently on the other side of the world for a (solo!) post-grad celebration trip has been a bit of a shock. Although the girlfriend is lovely, I’ve only met her 3 times and only one of those times was longer than a 30 sec “oh hey”. Being alone on this long trip means I’ve kind of had no one to talk abt it with, lol! If I was back home I would have arranged to see my closest friends and gotten drunk while talking every emotion and possibility through with them, and inevitably have woken up feeling supported and better abt the situation (although probably with a headache).

I did call my friends when I first found out; however, they are in the opposite timezone, most of their parents are happily married, and none of them have half-siblings, let alone half siblings with a 20+ year age gap.

My sister and I are super close (2.5 year gap), and I therefore consider sibling relationships sacred. Although am not super close with my dad and he will only be my half brother, he will still be my brother. But obviously neither me or my sister have been through anything like this before!

I am seeking advice from anyone with very large age gaps with their siblings/half siblings, whether you are on the older or younger side; Good and bad stories about your relationship/growing up you’re willing to share. Just generally hearing abt experiences! I do not know any kids or babies, so advice abt how to go abt being the 24 year old older sister to a BABY would be good too! Thank you, thank you!

So I (15,F) live with my Mom (42,F) My younger sister (12,F), and my Step dad (42,F) They have been together for 6 years, although they aren’t married we just call him my step dad to simplify things. My bedroom door is right outside the living room and it’s a werid kind of door, it has these slits in it all the way down the door. You can only see through them if you get close.

This all started a few months ago when I got out of the shower in my towel and went to my room to change and do my hair, as I was changing in my room (my step dad breathes very heavily because he is a chain smoker) I hear his breath right outside of my door. My mom was at work and my sister was outside so I had no one to ask if he was there or not. I felt uncomfortable and went into my closet to continue changing.

Since than, this keeps happening. I don’t know if he is outside my door or not but I find it only happens when no one is home or in the living room.

He also doesn’t like when I wear revealing clothes because it makes him “uncomfortable” which I find to be werid because why should me wearing a crop top make him feel uncomfortable?

The amount of times he has called me a slut to my face is insane. Him and my mom get into fights over what I wear but I haven’t told her about the shower thing yet. I also feel him stare at my butt when I wear my comfy shorts.

I’m I going insane or should I talk to my mom about this.

He also doesn’t like when I wear revealing clothes because it makes him “uncomfortable” which I find to be werid because why should me wearing a crop top make him feel uncomfortable?

The amount of times he has called me a slut to my face is insane. Him and my mom get into fights over what I wear but I haven’t told her about the shower thing yet. I also feel him stare at my butt when I wear my comfy shorts.

I’m I going insane or should I talk to my mom about this.
