hiii,
i have a big problem with my mom. my parents divorsed when i was about 5 years old. my dad remarried and has kids. i have never been close to my dad so it doesnt really matter to me. he hurt me a lot so i am not close to him. My mom has a bf and its really hard for me to be okay wit this. i really want my mom to be happy but i think this guy is just going to come in my life and try to boss me around and be like my dad. i have never had a dad i dunno how it feels but all i know i dont want him here. can you guys pliz help me i dont know what to do about this? thankz
I can't believe some of the answers you have gotten.
You treat this man, who cares about your mom, as you would anyone else. He didn't make your dad leave and he probably won't come in and start bossing you around. Unless he is doing that now, he probably won't.
What you are afraid of is change. You don't want to share mom with some guy. One day though you will be out on your own. Your mom has to have a life of her own now.
This guy shouldn't be considered a dad replacement. I'm sure he doesn't want to be that either. Mom likes him. He may make a good friend at least. Give the guy a chance. :) [ karenR's advice column | Ask karenR A Question ]

Firstly, let this guy know he is only going to get very limited respect from you. (Cold looks work great) I wouldn't go as far as to say anything unless it was action provoked. If he looks at you STARE directy in the face... Don't dis-respect him, but don't respect him either. Then it will just be as you two are equals.
