My stepmom [40] is driving a wedge between me and my family [22/f]

I read some of the comments but didn't feel like going through them all, so if someone already touched on this I apologize in advance.

Your Stepmom wants nothing to do with you and wants your Dad and her kids all to herself as her family and you, in her mind, is taking away from the family experience she dreamt about her whole life. The reality of it is your Dad needs to grow a pair and shut your Step Mom down from this BS that she is projecting on you but he most likely wont because he already had one failed marriage and also has a 'New Family' with your Stepmom. You need to talk to your Father and you can't let him blow you off, this is serious. Your Stepmom is alienating you and treating as bad as possible to make you go away. This is just basic jealousy that you still get some affection from your Father and it drives her crazy. This is all too common when a Father remarries and also has more kids with the new Woman. I wouldn't be surprised if he is even supporting her to get rid of you in some small way. This is all on your Dad for allowing this to happen, you did nothing wrong and nothing is wrong with you. Your Stepmom is a Crazy bitch who needs to grow up, I mean what did she expect when she married a man who already had Children? Was he supposed to kick you to curb to appease her? No way, screw that noise, you are your Father's first child and he should love you unconditionally.

Now about hose SS checks, get a lawyer and take them to court, you will win in a blaze of glory. There is absolutely no reason an ex-husband and his new Wife get your dead Mother's checks. I don't care how old you were when the death occurred or if your Mother's side of the Family is gone, that Money is yours and should have been put in a trust until you were of age to cash in. The court proceeding will most likely drive a wedge even further but your Stepmom with think twice about all the harm she caused you each time she puts a check in the mail to pay you back. In fact the Court may even award you the business that was opened with the Money. I know I will get some blowback about the revenge aspect here but maybe it's time to fight fire with fire.

I also want to state again that nothing is wrong with you at all, this is not your fault. I know it's easy to say but please remember that each time she tries to put you down or make you uncomfortable.
