Do You/Did You Have a Stepfather growing up?

Technically mine adopted me when he married my Mom when I was three. He’s still around, but we have never had the best relationship. I’ve always felt like he resented me because he had to raise someone else’s kid while he didn’t get to see his own biological sons on a regular basis.
He was never really physically abusive, more so emotionally and verbally. The worst thing he ever said to me that still is with me is he called my younger sister his pride and joy to my face, making me feel like I wasn’t much to him at all.
Anyway, enough about me. What was your relationship with your stepfather like?

I had a couple.
I wasn't treated well.
Blended family is something I'm happy to have avoided for my own children.

I had 3 of them. My current stepfather of the last 34 years is a good man. I was 23 when he came on the scene. The other 2 were shitheads.
My Mom is hard to live with though.

Yes and I call him dad. Married my mom when I was 3 and raised me.

Yep, great dude. I now have dad 1 A/B. Both go by dad in the same room.
As I understand it my bio dad told him to raise me as he saw fit. Was tough but fair and taught responsibility, coached sports, no different than you'd expect a good dad to do. Probably helped that my mom and bio dad had amicable relationship and he let step dad do what he saw fit with no questions.

I don’t mean to make him out to be a horrible person. He can be funny and show occasional moments of tenderness. It just gets overshadowed by all the times he said hurtful things. I do care about him, but there just feels like a big disconnect. He’ll call my half sister (he and my mom’s bio daughter) and his sons and grandson, but he barely ever calls me to talk.

Still paying the price for my wife's piece of shite child molesting scum stepfather. He even managed to kill himself on her birthday.

Mom was married 5 times. All 4 stepdads were pieces of shite. My dad was a good man, very nice and down to earth, but kind of a hands-off parent. I guess at some point, my mom became attracted to assholes. 2 of them got physical with her and that experience scarred me well into my adult years.

See, to me that would’ve been a great bday gift but I guess I’m more vengeful than most

Excellent, ole baw helped me build my first house. He was a Korean War veteran, I would have liked to known him better. My mother and I really weren't that close.

Is your biological father still around?

I have a step daughter and love her like my own. It’s not her fault.

I'm a step dad to 4 kids. They all told me I'm not their step dad, I'm their dad that stepped up. Appreciate it

My step-dad raised me and my brother like we were his from the time I was 10. I’m very grateful and thankful for him. He is my dad and the only dad I know, period.

Strange to me for people on here to say they got a step father in college or in their twenties. You didn’t get a step father, your mother got married. Weird.

I’m a step dad. I saw a lot of bad step dads for my friends growing up. I saw what happens when a step dad favors his seed over a step kid with an ex and how bad that fricked her up.
I consider my stepkid to be my kid and strive to do the best I can.

My parents were divorced and neither remarried for quite a while. My mom eventually did when I was 25.
He's a good man, but I've never lived with him, and he wasn't a fatherly figure to me or anything growing up. My wife and I got married a year after they did.
