[quote=Anonymous]I think i know your stepfather's personality type, and probably your mom's.

I would give your mom a little time on this (a couple of days), and then go back to her and just be really calm but say something like "Mom, I'm worried about where my relationship with step-dad is going.  I was really upset that he brought a teen boy into my room where he could see my dirty underwear.  That was really embarassing.  I felt like he didn't get why I was upset by that and then just got mad at me.  I also am really uncomfortable with him sleeping in my bed.  I appreciate that you guys pay for the house and most of the stuff in it, and I respect that, but I need to feel my feelings are respected.  I really need you to help run interference on this for me.  I really want us all to have a good relationship, but right now I'm really feeling hurt and disrespected and I'm afraid it's just going to get worse."

She needs to understand that minimizing it is not helpful, and that she needs to figure out a way to manage it.  If your step-dad is a difficult personality, then she might need to find the right time and way to approach him about it.  She might have been right that confronting him about it at the time would only make him dig in and make it worse.  [/quote]
