so i have this 'step-mom' who isn't actually my step-mom i just tell people that she is. she is actually my fathers girlfriend whom he has a child with who is therefore my half-brother. so even though her and my father ar not married i call her my step-mom and ive known her for about three years. anyway, she used to be really nice to me, like even a couple weeks ago she was still nice to me, but lately she's been a complete bitch. i'm really sick right now and im getting surgery in a couple days, and when she gets home from work she comes in and yells at me for not doing anything and about how everythings dirty and how i didnt do anything all day and i just sat there and watched tv. what am i supposed to do, im freaking sick and i cant walk!!! she doesnt even look at me anymore, never talks or anything. my dad hasnt said anything about it either. she left on a trip with my half brother about an hour ago and didnt even let me say bye to him, and she didnt even say bye to me, she just left. what did i do to her? i dont know what i should do anymore, i try to be nice any chance i can but she blows me off. any suggestions?

I think you should talk to your dad in private and tell him how you feel. Say it in a way where you are not making her look like a bad person that way he doesn't feel threatened. Explain the digression and what you would like to see change. ie. she was nice she used to be social and now she is not looking at me, fussing a lot, not letting me say goodbye to my bro, etc. and this is what I would like to see change... Then ask him if you can have a meeting between the three of you before he talks to her that way she doesn't feel attacked. Then you can express your self and she can too. There may be something going on between them or maybe she is just stressed and taking it out on you...maybe even she is starting to feel like you are a threat, you never know what her and your dad have talked about or what her and her family have talked about. Have a nice open conversation and what ever you do, BE NICE...be as nice and reserved as you can be. This way you don't look like an angry little imature teenager...show them how mature you can be and show them that you expect the same maturity to be shown toward you and see what happens. If that doesn't work...come back on here and we'll help you out! :)
