I got a problem with my dad's wife! I've lived with them since I was ten years old when they married. My mom passed one year prior to meeting her and I never got that "motherly" vibe form her, plus she smoked and drank beer all day. Anyway another year later my dad calls me from Toledo and tells me he's married to her. A month later we all moved in together. Since, everything went so fast and I was a hurting pre-teen(11). She never tried to bond with me or get involved with my life or support me. She would call me names and constantly verbally abuse me. Never took me anywhere, bought me anything, told much about herself. Her and my dad would go out of town or out to eat and never invite me and at first it hurt me but I got used to it. I stayed to myself and my outgoing nature soon became introverted. I prayed for God to take me away and I prayed for that lady everyday that she would get better and make nice. My self-esteem grew lower and lower I started to hate more and more. I even contemplated suicide, but I knew that would be the easy way out and that's not in God's plan for me. I would talk to ppl and had a good support system only positive ppl around. School became my outlet and a place where I got the attention I craved from academic achievement. It was a horrible environment; psychologically and emotionally.
Fast forward to now, on my 20th birthday she picks a fight with me, we brawl and I got to get out the house! I'm currently living with my sister and am in between jobs. I was in college and want to go back.
I pray about becoming closer to my father again and have forgiven him for allowing that "mess" but I still have really crazy dreams about her and I either getting along or fighting again.
What is a young woman to do? Are they any ladies here that have a combined family or is a mother to another mans child? (forgive me for such a long post!)
