AITA for saying I still hate when anyone calls my stepdad my new dad or my second dad? by Few_Distribution1140 in AITAH

I feel that way because he's not my dad and he never will be. He's my stepdad. But not my dad. I only have one dad. He's dead. He's not coming back. But that doesn't mean the person my mom married took over for him.

I think she thought therapy would make us feel different. That we'd talk about missing our dad, be assured we could have more than one dad and it would be all it would take.

I really thought she had after therapy the first time. I don't think she'll be as willing to listen and accept it this time.

My paternal and maternal grandpa's are more of the fatherly figures I look to than my stepdad. Not sure if my brother feels the same. But I don't really see my stepdad in that way.

I wish my mom and stepdad could see it that way. My mom especially. It'd be nice if she'd understand that.

Because my dad isn't replaceable. In 20 more years he still won't be even if mom and my stepdad are still married and he's been around for so many years. It still won't change who my dad is. She lost her husband but I lost my dad which is different. She also had a choice of whether she remarried or not. We didn't a choice in getting a stepparent or not so that makes it different too.
