Cris.....sounds like things haven't been stabile in your life for awhile now........Being a step father is a very hard job....I know because I was, and am one. Funny thing....my stepson is now 28.....and he'll tell me I'm his "real" father......I raised him like my own......it wasn't easy as I was always second best.....nothing like a mothers love for her son....and that's the way it should be........

Yea....I put a boot in his butt when he needed it....Not to be mean, but to shape him to be a gentleman, and to give him the skills he needed to be sucessful and survive....It wasn't my job at birth but one I assumed when I married his mother.....He didn't learn easy......

Now, 10 years later, he's starting to see why I did what I did.........So you pay rent.......I didn't catch how much you pay, but learning that things arn't free and everything has a price is a lesson that's much better learned young.......Learning to budget so that when you do move out you don't dig yourself a big hole is a skill you'll need.......

I know you don't understand why things happen the way they do, and I know it's normal for a 16 year old to feel the way you do.......even kids in a home with both biological parents have a few growing pains at your age.....

Hey.....if the guy loves your mother enough to marry her.....just maybe he loves you to......I know I love my stepson just as much as my own daughters....in some ways more as my daughters were raised by another fellow.......This other fellow is divorced and doesn't see my girls very often.......but they love him too.....he was good to them......and was there when they needed him......he has my gratitude...and my respect.....and I will forever be indebt to him for what he's done.........Things are cloudy now.....but the picture will clear up over time........Focus on finishing school and enjoying you teen age years......they'll be gone soon enough and once there gone you'll never get them back......slow down....your trying to grow up to fast........
