Guest guest Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 No, all step parents aren't like that. My dad was not my biological dad. He adopted me when I was 3 yrs old and he married my mom. I never knew my " real " dad and so my Dad was it for me. He was great and never treated me differently than my sister. I'm sorry you got a raw deal with your stepparent. Some people are not good parents -- step or biological. I'm reading a book that explains it this way -- Your soul is on earth for this life for a purpose. The parents your soul chose to be born to were chosen because they are the ones that can help your soul grow towards that purpose. Remember that your parents are doing the best they can with what they've got. Know that they'd do better if they had the skills to do better. You can still be angry that your situation is that way. But try to let go of bitterness and get on with your life and your own purpose. Bitterness and resentment will get in the way of your own happiness. It's all so much easier said than done -- and I don't mean to minimize your pain and aggravation. You are justified in feeling the way you do. It's not ok for parents to say those kinds of things to their kids. But if it's a situation that you can't change, then you need to find a way to reconcile it for yourself and get on with your life. I know, kind of hard when you have no choice now but to live with the folks. And still hard after you are able to move out because they'll always be your parents. But do the best you can to thrive in spite of them. You are loved and lovable even if they don't tell you so :-) Michele W aubrie's mom tell me this... are all step parents this way? Sheesh! Why does mine hate my exsistance? Sorry if you didnt like me, why marry my parents. Geeze. grow up!
