With The Stepmom
My dad remarried when I was four to a woman who had kids 30 years older than myself.
Growing up, he was always comparing me to them whenever I needed any kind of support.
Like, I was 19 and was sleeping on couches because I didn’t have enough credit for an apartment, he wouldn’t co-sign, and it was all:
“Your stepmom’s kids aren’t this needy.”
No sh**t, dude. They’ve been working for 20+ years. You internalize it, though.
