[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you need to tell your dad what you want. He isn't a mind reader. Tell him you want to take a family vacation / spend more time with him. It does sound like your step-mom kind of sucks, but, maybe her perspective is that you and your siblings haven't welcomed her as much as you think.

A therapist could really help with these feelings. I have a complicated family too, bouncing things off a therapist occasionally has helped a lot.

As for Christmas, they are not going to throw you out of their house. If they said 12p-2p, just stay as long as you want. Bring enough food to feed everyone.[/quote]

Oh, we have welcomed her. My dad and her have been married almost 20 years so she knew us as kids. Her behavior has been shitty. She never had to work. She's spoiled. She kicked me out of my dad's house once when he wasn't there when I was 18 and staying there temporarily. She's also got an alcohol problem.

And they did throw us out of the house at around 2 pm that day. I know it sounds bizarre but it's true. My stepmom stood at the kitchen counter the entire time while we sat at the table as a family. She had my dad get fast food takeout but cooks a meal for her kids. This was Christmas! And we are not important enough to get Christmas day or Eve with my dad. It was like a week after Christmas. But it was our Christmas with our dad. (My dad can't cook to save his life so I'm sure she had him go get the food because she wasn't going to cook). When 2 pm rolled around, they were both doing things signaling it was time for everyone to leave.[/quote]
