Anytime I look out my window, and I see that my stepdad has just pulled up and is about to come in, my mood worsens. Big time. And I always groan involuntarily. 

That’s how annoying he has become . Which is why I barely speak a word to him anymore.

Never in a million years imagined that he would become this way. He used to be the fun, laid-back parent that would always crack a joke to make you smile. Would buy us Capri-Sonne’s to take for lunch, even though my mom always insisted that we only were allowed to drink 100% juice. You know?

Now he’s just judgmental, holier than thou, and jaded. 

And at this point in my life, I want nothing to do with him about 95% of the time. He complains about so many things in regards to me…even though I’m not much of a problem to anyone, and never have been. He nitpicks. It’s like he is trying to control the person that I am becoming. Sorry, buddy, but I won’t allow that to happen.
