Fathers day delima

Yesterday was of course fathers day. All of my family went to my fathers house. I had not planned to attend, cause I come from a really crappy family. My mother died when I was born and now my father has remaired a greedy bitch of a step mother. I have 1 real brother and 2 step brothers. As far as brothers, we all get along. But that whore of a step mother that is their real mother will end up with what my father has. Anyway, as it happened, I talked with my real bro and decieded to go eat lunch. My grandfatehr was moving to another city as he is well into his 90"s and can no longer stya by himself. This was sad. My whore of a step mother asked for the kids- me and my brothers to stand up and tell what we are most thankful to our dad for. Unfortunatly i was first and I could to think of was "Dad I am most thankful for you helping potty train me, it is very useful and a skill I use multiple times a day" I was serious as a heart attack cause that is the ontly thing I could and still can think of... Is this normal?

  • haha i know this isn't supposed to be funny but what you said about potty training made me giggle. anyways sorry to hear about your mom and about your grandpa moving away. also the evil stepmother. my parents are still together so i don't know what you're going through but i have friends who have evil step parents and end up having negative feelings towards their real parents because of their new partners. i'd say try to spend more time with just you and your dad to rebuild a connection with him without the presence of the whore lol or do things with him and your brother so u can feel like a family again. also maybe try talking to your dad, if hes a reasonable guy, and tell him how you feel about his new partner. hopefully things get better for you. good luck!

  • I think it might be something you can look back and laugh about one day. You say you have a crappy family, maybe with all the stress of your grandfather, the whore stepmother, and all the other stuff, maybe you're brain was just tired and emotionally drained. My sister doesn't get along with our dad at all. I asked her to write a note in the Father's Day card and she scoffed and said, "And thank him for what? Thanks for paying for the house?" If you are truly thankful for something he's done for you, maybe sometime you can let him know in a casual comment. I hope you aren't insulted, but your story gave me my laugh for the day. I think this is normal dysfunctional family drama that most all families encounter.
