 ((((((bailey))))))
I am so sorry your life is like this. It is just awful that your mom has let you down like this. Have you told her how this is hurting you? Doesn't she even understand even an iota of how much pain this is causing you? It doesn't matter if you are 21 or 12, she should be at least standing up for the relationship she should be havng wth you.
I remarried when my son was 5. I am sorry to say that he and the man I married never bonded the way I had hoped they would (my new husband was clueless on relating to children) but he is a generous person and has provided both monetarily and emotionally for us both. I won't deny there was some jealousy there on occasion but the funny thing was, it was usually my husband who was the jealous one, the one who was feeling neglected. What a pain.
Is there any way you could sit down alone with your mom and have a heart to heart anytime soon? There are a lot of very hurtful feelings that need to be resolved and that step-father of yours needs an attitude adjustment and it's your mom's job to point that out to him.
If that doesn't work, what about family couseling?
Keep writing to us, sweetheart. Let us know how it's going.
