My stepmom always hated me and I knew it. She mentally abused the hell out of me and to this day is completely baffled as to why I won't speak to her (or my dad for that matter, who let her do whatever she wanted to me), even after "all she's done for me." The most fucked up part of the whole thing is that I really really really wanted to live with my mom, and my mom wanted me too, but my step mom hated my mom even more than me so she kept us apart just to spite us. I don't even know how the fuck that happened really, this was in the early 90's. Family court is messed up.  Oh and she's super religious, obviously.
