I 21(F) am an apparent stepchild. My mom is forcing me to call her husband dad for cultural reasons. They've been married for 2 months now. I barely know the guy. They were in a relationship for two years a year after her and my bio dad divorced. I've been away for school these past two years so i didn't really get a chance to get to know new husband and even when i am around he never hangsout with my siblings and i. Hes always with my mom. Whenever he comes over (both before and after the marriage) my mom is always stressed for everything in the house to be perfect to the point of over cleaning the house (cleaning dishes and everything thats been clesned already either by us or her) so its perfect when he arrives. When we talk to her about it she says that he's a clean freak so everything must be perfect when he comes. Now that they're married we're forced to call him "dad" and she keeps comparing us to his respectful and kind and good company kids. She said that our family was broken
