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

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."

I've had to deal with a jealous step mom for the past 12 years. Started when I was a kid, now I'm well into my 20s and she hasn't changed. My Dad finally sees her crazy passive aggressive behavior and jealously, especially now that I'm older so he actually listens to me... But it's caused a lot of pain in our family. I really wish you well.
