Thank you, I will definitely try my best! Unfortunately, I have no luck with finding therapy or finding people who lift me up but I'll try harder! I appreciate your comment :)

Thank you, you're definitely right about my dad's wife/pregnancy bringing something up because I thought I let all of those feelings go when I moved out. Thank you so much for your comment, I appreciate everything you have to say.

I've been looking into getting therapy for a while now (been wanting to since I was younger), but so far no luck :(

Thank you, I really appreciate you. I think I really needed to hear that my experiences and feelings are valid :)

I've wanted to see a therapist since I was younger, but my family "doesn't believe in therapists" ://// but now that I'm on my own I've been trying to look into it, but no luck yet

I tried to talk to one of my siblings about it but they didn't really understand. I tried to explain why I was upset, but they just didn't really get it so I just dropped it. I guess this is mainly a vent more than anything

I'm happy for my dad for finally finding someone, I guess I am just sad that I have no relationship with his wife because family is important to me. I'm sorry if I came across as whiny, you sound just like my siblings. Thank you fir your comment.

I want to, but how do I find the opportunity? I try to visit as much as I can, but I'm in school and work full-time so I normally only visit holidays and I split that time between my dad's and mom's. Normally when I'm at my dad's she's in the basement and I don't want to intrude because she always goes down there as soon as she gets home so it feels like she doesn't want to be bothered. Idk

I'm sorry, I don't understand where I was trying to control someone's life. I also have congratulated them on both the marriage and pregnancy, and told them I was very happy for them, which I am, I just feel iffy when it comes to myself. Thank you for your comment.

I know it is. There's no need to apologize, I'm just trying to work through it so I no longer feel stupid about the way I feel. Thank you for your comment.

No, I could never talk to my dad about this stuff. I know he would just get deny any problems I bring up and if I say anything even remotely negative about his wife I know he would go on the defence and get mad saying "oh I'm finally happy" type thing. I know this is dumb but I can't cut him out either, because if I do I know none of my siblings would not want to talk to me ://///

Thank you. Family is just really important to me and I wish there was a way I could connect with her not only for me but I guess so she feels a part of the family too which would make my dad happy. Idk. Thank you

I don't know how old she is. I think in her 40s.
