ADVICE | FAMILY | DEAR CAROL FAMILY

Sad About New Family

 
My dad and new stepmom took me ice skating with them and my stepsister. I thought it would be fun, but it wasn’t. My dad kept holding hands with my stepsister (she’s 8 and a bad skater), and I felt totally left out. I even drank hot chocolate alone, and my stepmom came over and asked what was wrong. I just shrugged. Should I have told her?

Dear Sad About New Family,

Your mixed feelings are understandable, so speak up to your dad and stepmom. Your dad is being a good stepfather, but he might not realize it makes you sad to see him hold another girl’s hand.

A heart-to-heart won’t magically take the pain away, but it will help. And your stepmom is probably already guessing your thoughts. Say, “I’m happy to be part of your family, but I admit I sometimes feel left out.” They might have comforting words for you. Also try, “Dad, I know you’re busy, but it’d mean a lot if you and I went to breakfast Sunday, just us. I like your new family, but I miss you.” E-mailing or calling him might also give you two a chance to talk without involving the extended fam.

MOD!!!! Is it bad to like one parent more than the other? I tend to like my dad more because I think that I'm more like him. but I feel bad because I love my mom. My second problem is that sometimes it kind of feels like if I be myself around her, then she'll make fun of me. Because her and my older brother laughed at me and told me I didn't know what I was talking about a bunch of times before just because I would disagree with them on something. This makes me really mad at my mom, but I don't want to fight with her, I just don't think it's fair the way she's treating me. And I tried talking to her about it, but she never took me seriously. What can I do?

 

I think even though girls love both their parents, it's normal to feel closer to one of them. Just because you like one parent better doesn't mean that you need to show your feelings or act any differently towards your two parents. As for the other question, I think you should try talking to your mom again about the problem and make sure you are completely grown-up and serious when you're talking to her. Don't do it in a fighting tone- be polite and respectful. Let her know that you really are serious about this and you don't like being laughed at. Let her know exactly how what she is doing makes you feel and hopefully she will start to understand.

Aww I'm so sorry. It's okay though. My parents split up when I was six. And I have had like eight stepdads already. Try to ask your dad if you can take a walk alone to talk about this. Don't let him take along anyone eles though. Your father will always love you and you have a special place in his heart. He just wants to get to know his new stepdaughter

I say u should have told her...because if she cared enough to see what was wrong then u should have said something....but if you are still getting used to having step-mom nd step-sisters then well....start out small nd work your way through....nd remember just have faith in your new mom!
