Is it bad if my step father curses my sister off?
Posted by adminApr 30
He’ll say “fuck you” and a lot of things like that, which pisses off my mom. They (my sister and step dad) usually get into an argument every night at dinner. She’s 14, and I’m 15. I can see why he gets aggravated though… my sister never shuts up when she’s supposed to. She makes the problems worse, and I think she thinks that retaliating makes her “stronger” when actually it just emphasizes her lack of common sense.
By the way, our step father is an alcoholic.

It’s never right for one person to curse at (verbally abuse) another person. It’s even worse when the one doing the cursing is supposed to be the adult.
Your sister may not have a whole lot of common sense, but very few 14 year olds have any common sense. Your stepdad’s approach to their personality conflict is definitely not working. He’s being disrespectful to her, which can only cause her to act out even more.
Maybe you and your sister could have a talk with your mom about all of this. Your mom is supposed to protect both of you, and it sounds like she’s not doing a great job of it. Keep in mind here that your mom has her own problems (why else would she have married an alcoholic?) so try to have some compassion for her.
When your stepdad curses at your sister, it would be appropriate for her to say, “I don’t like it when you talk to me like that”. It would also be appropriate for you to say, “I don’t like it when you talk to my sister like that”.
Your best bet is to remain calm. The more upset and immature your stepfather acts, the calmer you should be. He is really being a jerk, but jumping in his face will just make him think his behavior is justified. Take the high road.
