    You have to tell your father what is going on, but be very careful. He may think you're trying to sabotage his relationship. So, say something like this: "Dad, I have something important to tell you, but it's not going to be easy for you to hear, so please don't interrupt me until I'm finished." Then, lay it all out for him.

    When you've said your piece, explain that when he is out of the house, you are going to leave, too. Your stepmother obviously sees you as a reminder of the his former wife, and she fears your influence over your father. Until she learns to accept you as a person, and not as a threat, you cannot be in the same house with her.

    You might also speak to your stepmother, too. "I'm sorry we don't get along, but I'm not going to let you treat me badly anymore. I will no longer help you with anything until you can be civil with me. I will avoid you as much as possible, and I ask that you do the same for me." Then turn around and walk away.

    The hardest part about most stepmoms is that they don't realize what YOU are going through. They think it's okay to correct your behavior just as they would their own child, but you could've been raised differently. And to the above poster, this stepmom might have so much to take care of, and she might have good reason to get upset, but that in NO way gives her any reason to make the stepdaughter want to move out. This is a 13 year old girl we're talking about-- of course she might come across as immature, but she's right in her feelings. She's had to watch her dad get married to someone she obviously doesn't like, with that came 4 stepsisters, and 2 more babies. Wouldn't YOU get upset if your life was on a roller coaster ride like that? I think yes.

    Have you tried telling your dad about it when you have the time? Tell him how she's been treating you. And you're 19...? Move out of the house. Get a job, save up, move. If your stepmom wants your money, tell her to earn her own. Tell her she's been treating you like crap, so you'll just do the same and treat her like crap.

    You can't change her mate and if you moan at your dad then you'll just look bad.

    The best thing you can do is just stay strong and bide your time. At least she leaves you alone when her kids are around. Just keep out of her way and don't help her so much, chances are you will not be able to win her loyalty but her nastiness compels you to try for your sake. Just stop and see what happens.

    JEEZ everyone is telling you to tell your Dad! Be a man and bide your time then dish out evil doings after you move out!

    You need to call your dad and tell her about him. Get a voice note on your cell phone so your dad cud hear how she speaks to you. Look for a job also and save some money to be able to move out on your own. Then when u have the needed money plus more get an apartment.

    Try talking to your dad. See If he can find time to spend with you alone. You could try talking to your step-mom. But if she is really that bad it may not do any good. hang in there. Keep trying to build a relationship with your dad.

    She sounds like she's in my family just avoid her or do what's she's doing to you to her. Tell you dad you love him and want to be there but she really needs to lay off your an adult. If she won't change make her life miserable like she's making yours.
