relationship with the step parents (wife, Asian, married, women)

[TexianPatriot]

Do you get along with yours? Do you find the relationship difficult/awkward? I get along with my stepdad pretty well. We shared a common hobby in my younger years of modifying our four wheelers with all the go fast goodies. He can get a little obnoxious while drinking, but he isn't the violent drunk, so there's nothing really to worry about there. Overall, he's a pretty good guy. They had a kid together (he didn't have any coming into the marriage) and I absolutely love her.

My relationship with my stepmom is much different. Dad married her later on than my mom remarried, so I've had less time to adapt to her. To make things more difficult, there is a serious language/culture clash as she is from Taiwan. Her english has come a long way, and I can pretty much understand everything that she's saying, but it's just different. I'm not sure why, but my dad has always had an attraction for asian women, which I find to be weird. Also, her kids are complete fruitcakes. Way into the japanamation stuff, couldn't even ride bikes before my dad taught them (they are high school age), and the son actually tried to unzip my pants while I was sleeping, which has further strained the relationship (he's lucky I didn't break his nose and instead just left the house to go to my uncle's). The girl draws emo japanamation stuff depicting all sorts of things I don't consider normal.

Anyway, my dad brought it up the other day because he said his wife wasn't comfortable with our lack of interaction, but I didn't really know what to tell him. I don't think these type of relationships can be forced to work out (particularly with the gay/bi curious son in the picture). The whole thing is just weird for me. It's not really her fault as much is it is me not understanding the whole asain thing my dad has, and the weird kids.

Stepmom got along with her for the most part ok before she passed.

As far as the person my Mom was married to the only reason I would go to his funeral would be to **** on his grave.

He beat me all my life,got what free Labor he could out of me.Molested me,rapped my Sister and molested her from age 10.

He left my Mom 15 years before she passed for another woman.But still had business where Mom lived.So Mom could never be around another Man.She wasn't alowed to talk to me so we had to sneak around to visit.

When my Mom died the Hospital was having me sign papers I asked why I was signing them considering my Mom was married?So they got in touch with this Guy to come sign papers,he was mad but came.He didn't reconize my Son as he was leaving.My Son overheard him saying to his Son that he thought it was funny that the people at the Hospital thought he cared about my Mom.

Because my Mom didn't have a Will he got every thing sold all her personal stuff at Auctionj including picture of Great Great Grandparents,just alot of very personal stuff that wouldn't have no meaning to anyone but her children.I got escourted out of the Auction by the Law because I lost my cool.

Yes this is a very sore spot with me.
