Teen’s TEARFUL Confession: ‘I Hate Mom’s Husband, Prefer Dad’s!’

️‍ Family dynamics can be tricky, especially when parents remarry. 16-year-old me is caught in the middle of a blended family battle. My gay dad and his hubby are awesome, but Mum’s new man? Not so much. He’s strict, rude, and even throws around homophobic slurs. Being stuck at Mum’s during the pandemic has been a nightmare, with tensions rising higher than my stepdad’s blood pressure. After a blowout fight over a slightly late curfew, I finally snapped and told Mum I hate her husband and wish I could live with Dad. Did I go too far, or was I justified in my teenage angst? Let’s dive into this family drama!
