If there's somebody you should be angry at it's your stepmom and not yourself. =)
Just try ignoring her or something if she doesn't want to have a good relationship with you. And cutting isn't a good thing,by the way... People won't like you for that.
Just hang out with your friends and everything will be fine. =)

we all go through hard times, let me start off by saying im sorry to hear you have a bad relationship with your stepmom and its driving you to this point.
as the person said below me, you need to stop cutting. that is the first priority and seeking out someone to talk to, such as a psychiatrist, so maybe talking to your mom about it may help and she can set that up for you. also try talking with your father, tell him why you have been cutting yourself and how bad your stepmother makes you feel, ask him if he will consider going to the psychiatrist with you to show support, if he does not listen to you or finds what you are saying implausible see if there is anyway you can possibly stay with your mother. you should not have to be in a threatening environment such as that, especially if it drives you to feel that way.
also do something you find relaxing, such as writing, painting, sports, everyone needs an outlet otherwise we turn towards destructive behaviors, it just human nature.
if i can help you with anything, or you just need to talk please dont hesitate.

Depression and cutting can be problems. All I can do is offer this advice.
1) Stop cutting yourself. You have to do something to stop hurting yourself, this includes suicide. If necessary, see a counselor, or talk to people. Try to get past this desire to harm yourself.
2) Your dad is caught in an awkward position, because it's an issue between his daughter and his current wife. If he takes your side, your stepmom may see it as him not truly accepting her as his wife. If he takes her side, you'd probably think you were being pushed aside for the new person in his life. I think he's trying to find a balancing point where he won't look like he's taking sides at all.
3) When you feel depressed, read a book. And I'm not talking about a depressing book. Go get a fantasy, or an adventure. Hell, pick up anything that can help you escape. When you're done, get a pen and paper, and write a story of your own. Believe it or not, writing stories where you're the hero/heroine can help you feel a lot better.
Also, if you need to, meditate. Just find a quiet spot, and let yourself relax.
If you need anything further, I'm a question away.
