You know change is a part of life. Every day we grow and hopefully learn something new and that changes who we are as people. The only thing you can depend upon in life is change.
I do not understand what growth or change however would prompt your mother and step-father to decide that you should call him “father” or “dad”. You cannot force these things and it seems particularly odd after all of this time. I agree with you, a child has one father and one mother, I don’t think this role is necessarily defined by biology but the role isn’t interchangeable in my opinion. I would think that this drastic change would only create awkwardness and hurt feelings that did not exist before.
Normally when I read your posts I can understand your parent’s point of view, whether I agree with them or not. But this seems so bizarre.
