Evil Stepmothers - anyone got one? How do you deal?

[ginger.ninja]

I've recently inherited this awful evil stepmother and I've tried opening up to her, but it just 'aint workin'. She's just too weird/religious/insecure/freakish for me. The problem is, the more I pull away from her.. the more I lose touch with my Daddyo, and this is baddyo.

Anyone have a similar problem? How do you deal?

I had an evil step father when I was a teenager.

I never made it a secret that I disliked him, so he just kept giving me money and buying me things in hope that would change things. To be honest, even after I warmed up to him slightly, I kept the act going. (come on! i was a teenager!)

^ Dylan was kinda indifferent. He was happy my mom was happy and was doing his own thing. I, on the other hand was in the prime age range for hating my parents and the world alike (so like 15-17) so this just fit well into my dramatic lifestyle at the time. :p

i have an evil stepfather..

i hate him with a passion. he is honestly the one person in this world that i can honestly say that i HATE.

he actually looks for things to yell at me about. even though (whatever it is) is my moms, or if she did whatever he's yelling at me for, he still blames me!!

in his eyes, he is perfect in every way, never does anything wrong, never yells (in reality thats all he does, when hes speaking normally, he's actually yelling.) everything is always my fault, i'm the reason why things are wrong in the household, and its my fault that my mom's always stressed.. and oh yeah. and he is ALLLLLLLWAYS right.

and not only that, he will argue until the end of time. noone will win an argument with this man. no matter how wrong he is, no matter how much proof you give that he is wrong, no matter how many times you (or anyone else for that matter) explain the bitter truth.... he still thinks he is right and will not stop arguing.

the only time he stops arguing his opinion, is when he's shouting it.

i hate my stepdad :(

oh yeah, to add insult to injury, my real dad moved to ottawa a few years ago, so i dont even have a *good* father figure that lives close to home.. =\

Well luckily, I live away from home...and away from her. I guess it's good to just remind yourself that you're flesh and blood and nothing will change that.

I'm just bummed for my Dad. His inner rockstar is being suffocated. He used to party to ACDC; now he rollerblades to baptist church.

i hope my parents don't marry ever again and i don't have to deal with a step parent moving in on my territory and trying to boss me around and being pethetic in trying to be my best buddy and kissing my ass hahha

I dont know what you guys are talking about... I grew up with step parents all around me. My mother and father broke up when i was around 2, and both of them got remarried. My stepmom is more like a friend to me, and you cant even tell that we're not actually mother/son. And my step father and mom broke up, but i still talk to him, because he (even though we had our rough times... really rough times) was always nice to me. I guess i just got lucky... twice.

[ginger.ninja]

You totally got lucky, and that's great. Kudos to the step rents being mature and sensible about the whole situation.

I get along great with my stepdad, he's really smart and we always have interesting stuff to talk about together whenever I see him. He also really appreciates being welcomed into our family.

I think it's been tough for me adjusting to my Dad's fiancé, because he's been single for so long (all my life practically). They've only been together for about 3 months and are already tying the knot. It's too rushed.. and it feels like they're just doing it because she's religious. I guess I just gotta accept it and be happy for him, but it 'aint easy.
