Step Family's are tough. My sister, brother and I were extremely hard on my step mother when my dad first married her. We just couldnt accept her, and see my dad with someone else. Everyone's life was pure hell for about 8 years from all the hate and the fighting. It got to the point where we only saw my dad once every few months (even though he only lives 5 minutes away). We all got along very well with my step sister (she tended to side with us, instead of her mom during the fights), and as for my step brother, I knew very little of him before he was kicked out of his house. I do have a vague memory of him trying to kill me.....that bastard. Things with the step mom are cool now, although I think she is still wary and holds alot of resentment towards us, because of how mean were all were to her. I dont know if she ever really gave us a fair chance or was sensitive to our vulnerability.
