[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your dad is choosing a peaceful household over what's fair to his child. There's nothing that you can do about this except focus on your own happiness and peace. 
People can be disappointing, and you just have to move on from that. The more you dwell on unfairness or unmet expectations, the worse you will feel. 
Have a civll relationship with your father and stepmother and keep them at arm's length so that it's not so hurtful. Focus on yourself.

Best advice on here OP.[/quote]

A man who has already had at least one failed marriage may place a higher value on having a peaceful household. His child is an adult now so why should that not be a priority for him. Would OP feel better if he went through another divorce and possibly remarried again? It is good advice for OP to focus on her own life while still being civil to them.  Her dad might be caught up in an enmeshed stepfamily. If that is the case then she should be grateful to be independent from them. [/quote]

Totally agree. Also, OP, you should fully expect your step siblings will step up and handle majority of the elder care. And let them. [/quote]

Why is OP so resentful when it’s clear that her dad sees her steps as his own? Isn’t that the tune DCUM sings? That bio and steps should not be differentiated [/quote]
