wow, that's some uncharacteristic edginess from teh 'static!
but he's right. your complaint post comes across as a bit of a whiny b8tch. Your situation isn't that uncommon. When a man remarries, his kids often get the shaft. B/c the stepmom is in control of the social stuff, and to a stepmom the adult kids are basically strangers. Actually, they are worse then strangers, b/c they have a claim on her husband that strangers don't have.
The Dad often goes along with it, b/c its the stepmom he sees every day when he wakes up. He's just trying to keep the peace in his current immediate household.
you've already gotten good advice - you can't change people, you and your own wife have your own family, just deal with it. As 'static points out, it could be a lot worse. If your Dad/stepmom aren't interfering with/disrupting/making miserable your life, you are ahead of the game.
