Hey, just relax.

I started a new life after my wife (of 14 years) and I separated.

I met a gal on the web who was also coming out of a bad marriage. We got together but… the family was strange, we come from opposite sides of the country and totally different cultures. Her kids and mine didn’t exactly mesh either.

But at Thanksgiving, you look across the table and see all those, for better or worse, who are your family. They will have to get to know you just like you will have to get to know them. It’s even…

Take the high ground and open up to them. Go to each of them and wish them a happy holiday. It’ll work out if you give it a chance.

Happy Thanksgiving :)

Be gracious and charming to everyone.
Ask alot of questions and smile and try to listen to the answers. Even ask 2 or 3 different people the same questions. If they like to talk alot, they will love answering and time will fly. You can later on feel really tired, sick, dizzy, (pick one or think of your own) and ask to leave.
No one will suspect that you just want to get out of there because you were such a
inquisitive person and seemed really interested in the family.

I know it can be tough to visit and spend time with your step family. I honestly wouldn't worry so much...if you don't like your step dad I wouldn't worry if they liked you or talked to you etc. However, you can always be a bigger person and try to initiate a conversation. Maybe thank them for inviting you over to eat or asking them how their holidays are so far. Just some suggestions, but I honestly thing everything will turn our just fine.

Wow, you have issues. Better start studying, you will need an education - you can't stand him? Have you tried? You are too young and immature to be having a baby. GROW UP!!!! He is your step dad, you don;t have to be thrilled, but polite to him and his entire family. Learn to get along with others if you want to succeed in life and give your child any kind of chance in this world. Yes, they will notice if you are not there. You will lve, it is one day, not the end of the world.wait if you think this is bad, you are goinf to be a pernt - lots of things that are unpleasant, changning diapers, vomit, poop, crying, childbirth. Enjoy thanksgiving and be glad you have a family and they are accepting(obviously) if you are preganant. Think about how fortunate you are. Maybe you will learn something about yourself, his family and yours. besides, your child will have to be around them too. Try to enjoy.

Yes, I think your mom would notice. Maybe go and stay a while and leave? Maybe pretend sick, it's a hard call but I hope everything turns out. Happy Turkey day!
