This Teen’s Dad And Stepmother Have Been Forcing Their “New Family” On Her Following Her Mother’s Death, So She Called Her Dad A Bad Father
When this fourteen-year-old girl was five years old, her parents got divorced– something that is already traumatizing for a lot of children. But then, about eight months ago, she also tragically lost her mother.
Apparently, her mom had gotten sick a few years ago, and over time, her mom just could not fight it any longer. So, she was devastated and, on top of that, forced to move out of her house.
Following her mother’s funeral, she ended up moving in with her dad and his new family. Her father had remarried her stepmother, Jane, and had two children– Alex and Sofi– following the divorce back in the day.
And honestly, she has never gotten along with her stepsisters or Jane.
“Jane has tried to replace my mother numerous times, even refusing to let me go back to my mom’s house one weekend because I wouldn’t call Jane ‘mom,'” she revealed.
Unfortunately, Jane has apparently always acted like this, too. Jane constantly tries to force her into hanging out with her stepsisters, taking family photos, participating in ‘family game night,’ and just calling them her family.
Following her mother’s death, though, Jane’s behavior only escalated. In fact, her stepmother even began referring to her as “daughter” at family functions– which made her seriously uncomfortable.
But nothing could have prepared her for what happened last night after she came home from school.
Yesterday, she had sports practice after class, so she did not end up getting home until about 7:00 p.m. Immediately after walking in, though, she learned that Jane had invited some friends to their house.

Moreover, her dad asked her to go inside and say hello to all of the guests.
She really did not want to, but she gave in and said yes anyway, just to make her father happy. From the start, though, she regretted her decision– because Jane totally overstepped her boundaries again.
“When I walked into the living room, Jane jumped up and gave me a hug– which got awkward really fast,” she explained. Then, Jane actually said that she was Jane and her father’s first daughter.
Obviously, she was totally taken aback and wasted no time in correcting Jane. She blurted out, “No, you’re my stepmother, not my mom!”
And immediately, the room became dead silent and filled with awkward tension. It was at that point that her father also stepped in and demanded that she speak to him in her room.
While there, though, her father did not understand her feelings at all. She tried to explain how Jane was not her mother, so she refused to call her that name.
But her father just began screaming at her and accusing her of being ungrateful and spoiled.
Plus, her father even claimed she was acting like a selfish brat by not accepting that Jane and her stepsisters were her “new family.”
After that, she just could not hold back her emotions any longer and began crying and yelling about how bad of a father her dad was.
She also pointed out how he had a new family and claimed that Jane and her stepsisters would never be her family.
And it was at that moment that Jane heard everything she was saying and rushed into the room. Then, Jane said the unthinkable.
“Jane told me that she was my mom and that ‘the other woman’ did not matter anymore because she was dead,” she recalled. Can you imagine saying that to someone– especially a young teen– after they lost a parent?
Still, Jane was not finished, though. In fact, Jane then actually kicked her out of her house for being disrespectful.
So now, ever since then, she has been staying at her maternal grandparent’s house. And even though she still believes that Jane is totally out of line, she has also been feeling guilty about not opening up and letting Jane and her stepsisters into her life more.
Why do you think Jane is so insistent on being called “mom” and calling her “daughter?” Do you think Jane should have discussed these titles with her first before just using them so freely? How would you have reacted had you been in her shoes?
