Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my dad sat me down for a talk. After the talk, he wasn't my dad anymore. FML
Today, my dad's new wife, who is two years younger than me (I'm 24) and hates that I'm a lesbian, threw a fit when I told her that I would never call her Mom. My dad took her side. I don't live with them but still… FML
Today, my dad started openly playing favorites among his kids, just to start drama. I had to warn my little sister - the favorite - that he was using her senior photos to do it. I'm gonna kill him, and get her a better dad. FML
Today, I was sitting in my room when my dad walked in to talk. He said I'm not the son he'd hoped for, and that he'd been let down as a father. He said I should change the way I am so that he could love me more. It was the longest conversation I've had with my dad in years. FML
Today, I tried to reconcile with my estranged father after learning that all the things my mom said were lies to turn me against him. He refused and told me that he has a new daughter and that I'm not part of the picture. I know I deserve it but… FML
Today, my friend's father got me mixed up with his new wife when telling stories for his wedding speech. Everyone noticed. The new wife was not pleased. FML

Well bravo to your dad's bride for reinforcing the "evil step parent" stereotype. If she brings her two ugly daughters to the house, I suggest legally emancipating yourself. Princes are hard to come by, these days.

Look her straight in the eyes and say; "You weren't supposed to hear that for another 6 months."

Bring up the conversation with your dadfs new wife ask her why she thinks you are an entitled brat have your phone with you... record everything. record the whole thing. place your phone in the room you speak in discreetly. test out the angle to make sure the camera can capture everything including the sound test this by first taking a video of yourself talking near the phone. ask her to come into the room and have the conversation. then send it to your dad. :D

"When Dad tells me that, I will act accordingly. Sorry you're so insecure in your place as the NEW wife."

I'd look at her and say "Listen up, bitch. You dont seem to understand something. I'm the kid. I was here before you, and I'll be here when my dad find's out just the kind of person you are. So whether you like it or not, I AM the favorite and there's not a damn thing you can do about it."
