You have to talk to him about it. The fact that the rest of the family doesn't like her either.......hmmmm. When you tell him you don't like her, tell him why without being rude. Maybe ask him to give it more time, for you and the rest of the family at least. Tell him, the time might help you get to know her better, or help him understand why you dislike her. Telling him your opinion doesn't make you sound like his mother, it makes you sound like his child who is concerned that the woman he is marrying isn't good enough for him.

Be courteous and polite to your father's new wife. Many children and teenagers act out their resentments that there's no hope that their own mother will ever be able to get back together with their father. Don't be like that, please. Your father's new wife will probably make an effort to get to know you, learn your likes and dislikes, and take an interest in your studies and your plans for the future. Give her a chance – she may have some words of wisdom for you. If you're fortunate, she'll be a good cook and housekeeper, and your domestic situation will be very comfortable.

You can't. Have you really tried to spend time with this woman and actually get to know her?? if not, you should try. She obviously makes your dad happy if he's marrying. So make an effort to be supportive.

Well ...start packing ...and get away. Your dad might be marrying someone who is just like him, made in hell for each other...a trashy woman and abusive. You won't change your dad's mind. Somehow he likes that type of woman. Perhaps she will change his mind and turn him against you. Remember the fairy tales stepmothers ...sounds like you are getting Cinderella stepmother. Sorry about that.
You should stay calm and try not to appear upset in front of your dad because you might be misconstrued as being jealous, and might be seen as the evil one. Try to play tricks on your future stepmother and make her look bad in front of others... Perhaps your dad might notice in time.

Your dad deserves to be happy. Having been there, being a step parent is not always so great either especially if the kids don't give you a chance. try being nice, you might be surprised.

You can't tell him. If she makes him happy then you should respect them both and be supportive of your dad and his happiness. You wouldn't want anyone to stand between you and someone you cared for.... so don't do it to your dad.

I think he knows....... try very hard to get along. Let them both know how you feel when things happen. When she does somethings you don't like. Always be polite and respectful. Good Luck

Well, video tape her being a witch and show him the tape. At least you will have some evidence on your case. But in the end, its his decision, wheather you like it or not, sorry.
