My father became involved with a woman years after the death of my mother, kept it a secret from me, and then got engaged to her three months after my brother broke the news to me despite my father's best efforts; I haven't been happy.
Sixth months after I first met her, they were married. I met her parents for the first time the night before the wedding. The next time I went home from school (boarding) we had moved out of my childhood home and into a new house "better suited" for the eight of us. (Yes, I have a brother and a sister and my step-mom came with some baggage. Three to be exact.) By the time we moved in together, I had probably spent less than 24 hours with any member of my "new" family. Two years later, I am stilling uncomfortable in my "home." My dad shows me less attention than ever. My step-mom spends my dad's money like it's nothing: accupunture, massages, junk for her kids. Not to mention the fact that she's alread "inherited" our nicest vehicle. I feel pushed away.
