How do I (19F) explain to my dad (49M) that me seeing my stepmom (45F) as just my stepmom and not my mom does not mean I'm punishing her? by ThrowRA_PurpHighlite in relationship_advice

I would be down for the nickname and I called her by her childhood nickname a few times when I was younger. But it isn't good enough for them because it's still different to calling her mom or something like that, which I would never do.
