This is the thing you need to address.

it's not easy to think about what you're going to say before you say it but in many if not most cases it's the best way to deal with things. I think that you know that how you blurt things out without thinking it causes a lot of arguments. Do you have a T to bring this up with?

I won't say anything along the lines of it's your stepdad's house and you need to respect him and all of that stuff... nor will I blame your stepdad entirely on the arguments that seem to be happening but I will say that you both have issues that need to be addressed here. And you can only control what you do... so with that in mind find a therapist or talk to the one you have to learn mindfulness or what ever means that would help you stop being so impulsive and at that point you've done your part in helping calm the situation.
Exactly! Sometimes it feels like the part of my brain that tells you shouldn't say something is broken and I hate myself for it. They think the only issue is me, but it's not.
