How do you deal with a toxic biological mother?
Be sympathetic but direct with your spouse, reassuring with your step kids, and honest with yourself when it comes to dealing with a toxic ex-spouse or bio mom. Remember that you can control only your own actions, your own words, and your own reactions.
How can I get my dad to stop hating my Stepmother?
Perhaps your dad will then have a dialogue with your stepmother and things will improve. If things improve then that is fabulous. If they do not that is a shame. In that case, you will need to accept that your stepmom’s behavior may not change but that you can change your reaction to her.
What should be the consequences for disrespecting Your Stepmother?
Now, the consequences for that kind of behavior should be swift and clear. The kids in the family should know that if they disrespect their stepmother or stepfather, they will lose their cell phone privileges for the rest of the night, for example. In other words, there should be no tolerance for that kind of disrespect.
How do I talk to my dad about his relationship with stepmother?
I recommend strongly that you have a heart-to-heart talk with your father. Without verbally attacking or devaluing your stepmother, explain to your father how she makes you feel. While you’re at it, tell your dad that you miss him and feel that you two are becoming less close.
Do stepchildren have to call their parents mom or dad?
They don’t have to call them Mom or Dad unless they want to, but they have to be respectful. Know that as a parent or stepparent, you cannot read your stepchild’s mind.
