The fact that they took a family photo without her says everything and the mother did not step in and say one word I’m sure she feels the same way

I wouldn’t waste time worrying about what the step dad thinks. Talk to your mom if you want to keep a relationship with her. Let her know about the text and what you’ve experienced. Based on that information, you can make a decision about how you choose to interact with them going forward.

NTA. And I would only tell mom the truth if she asks why. Don’t lie or omit. But if mom doesn’t ask, she doesn’t care, and you have your answer.

ppl ganging up on OP need to step back. so she is the only child of that couple but tjey both have kids with other people?! that alone is lonely as hell. I can imagine the fear of being on the outside of a family unit on both sides. Im an only child of divorced parents but neither had other kids, if I were in OP's shoes Id definitely already feel like an outsider and if a step parent reinforced that feeling... it just sucks all around

Why do people marry people with kids if they don’t want to include them in your family?

I feel for OP. I’ve never known my parents together and I’m not sure that my dad and his wife have any pictures of me in the house

Nope my step daughter is just as much as my child as my bio kids, when she moved out I went into a depression, she is the only child I cried on the first day school for, and she is my best friend now, I know she has her mom but I’m her other mom and we are just as close as my bio kids

I would tell my dad and have him talk to my mom… that way she is aware of the situation and OP doesn’t have to know how her mom feels

Ok, Rich recognizes that he isn't a fan of OP, but has done his best to make sure OP doesn't know.Rich doesn't sound like a bad guy, just not a fan

Mom doesn’t realize that he only puts a pictures without her?

I think their fear about their mom being in agreement with him comes from them picking up on her energy throughout the years

My step dad has hated me since they started dating. let me tell you it hurts that my mom chose a man who hates me and treated me differently then my siblings. it also hurts that she doesn't care how I feel and tells me I was hard to raise. Basically it was my fault he treated me badly. So I get why OP doesn't want to say anything but darn it hurts.

Katie Schulz :
I had a step-parent who hated me. I'd be willing to bet he was part of the reason there were some rough teenage years. In my opinion, it would be hard but better to just tell the mom why you're staying at the dad's house.

NTA I think it’s very mature that you are trying to protect your mother, but as a mother, I think you should tell her.. I’m very sorry that this happened to you.

OkieGirl321 :
From some of the details given, I feel mom is aware (at least in her gut) that her husband doesn’t feel her daughter is his “family”, too. And OP has picked up on that, hence the hesitation to talk to mom. I mean, mom knew family pictures were taken without her daughter. She knows the framed family picture in her husband’s office doesn’t have her daughter in it. If mom hasn’t put her foot down about those things, chances are she’s just going to make an excuse for her husband’s texted comment (I.e. invalidate OP’s feelings).

Why was there even a picture taken without OP?

Naw…we need to trust children when they say a parent isn’t capable. She knows she won’t like the answer & knows she’s not ready to hear it

The mom knows. Moms know. Regardless of what comes up in the update, OP isn’t assuming.
