[quote=Anonymous]Their dad is a deadbeat but they still very much have a relationship with them and are always careful to point out that my dad is not their dad. They grew up in the same house with my dad but I wouldn't say they are particularly close. Also, my dad didn't have more money for them vs. me, it was my step-mom who didn't want him to spoil me (which she would say all the time) but then had no problem spoiling her own kids with his money).

More examples - when my step sister graduated from college they took a lavish European family vacation and didn't even invite me (I was only 25 at the time and not married). I was not allowed to have a sweet 16 because it was "too much" but step sister had a huge party for all her friends that must have cost a fortune. Despite my step sister being married and a grown woman, my step mom still takes her shopping and easily spends $1,000 on her every few months. I am lucky to get a card for my birthday. And both step siblings still get Christmas presents (I am sure my step mom buys them) and I get nothing.

I just can't understand why my dad blatantly allows all of this yet doesn't seem to care that I get nothing.[/quote]
