Ever since my dad remarried, home hasn't felt like home. Suddenly, there are new rules about everything—from how loud I can play music to which way the toilet paper should hang. My stepmom tries to be friendly, but sometimes it feels like she’s more interested in changing me than getting to know me. I’ve tried talking to my dad, but he just says, “Give it time.” Meanwhile, I’m stuck between wanting to fit in and missing how things used to be. Sometimes I wonder if I’m the problem, or if anyone else has felt this lost in their own family. If you’ve ever felt like a stranger in your own house, I’d love to hear how you handled it. Maybe we can figure out this new normal together. 🫂 #FamilyDynamics #StepmomStruggles #BlendedFamily #TeenLife #FamilyRelationships
