AskMeL123 answered Wednesday August 25 2004, 2:35 am: A name is just a name. Your mother is your mother. Do you not feel close with her simply because of her last name? You should sit down and talk to your mom and tell her how you feel about everything that is going on. Let her know that your stepbrother really upsets you and that you need some advice on what to do about it since your father isnt helping the situation much. Trust me, I KNOW what its like to have an "evil stepmother". I have one. Can't stand the bitch. Haha! You just have to think, if she makes my father happy then thats all that matters. Just deal with her when you are there and that's all that you can do. As far as your stepbrother goes, talk to your mom about it and then sit down both your father, your stepmother and your stepbrother one night and tell them that you all need to talk. Let them all know that what is going on really hurts your feelings and that something needs to me done about it and you are uncomfortable. If you need anymore advice feel free to ask. Best of luck sweetie. *Melissa* [ AskMeL123's advice column | Ask AskMeL123 A Question ]

just because ur dad got married to sum1 doesn't mean that u have to like her(sounds horrible but...) maybe u can go to the movies or bowling with ur mom to spend some time with her. If ur stepmom annoys u them mayb u can just avoid her and only talk to her if u need to (i sound soo horrible)
sorry cuz i sound like reelie mean but i hope i can help!

Spend alot of time with your mom to make you feel better. Also you may not like your stepmom b.c its not your mom but ur dad likes her- so try to get to know her maybe shes not that bad- but shes not taking place of ur mom [ XxSXyKaYlYnXx's advice column | Ask XxSXyKaYlYnXx A Question ]
cailoisa answered Tuesday August 24 2004, 10:36 pm: Ask your mom about changing your name too. You could take her name, or a name in the family, or some other name that you like. [ cailoisa's advice column | Ask cailoisa A Question ]
kevin1986 answered Tuesday August 24 2004, 10:07 pm: It's your mom's choice to go back to her name if she'd like. But you need to pick the name you want to keep,I think you're old enough to make a choice like that. Your mom loves you and always will,no matter what YOUR last name is. If you're close to your stepmom,talk to her about her kid teasing you. [ kevin1986's advice column | Ask kevin1986 A Question ]
Fallin2Pieces answered Tuesday August 24 2004, 10:07 pm: My parents are divorce to and it's really hard. If I were you, I would try to talk to your stepmom about it. I know that maybe hard and uncommfortable, but you don't have that many options. Also try talking to your mom about it. You can also try, telling your stepbrother to go F*ck off and if he tells on you then that's when you can sit down with everyone and let them know whats going on. I would also recommend your school guidence counsler, if they don't listen to you. Let me know if you have any more questions- Fallin2Pieces.
