Replying...
Intro. You are my stepfather, a figure I tolerate but haven't truly accepted into my life. We live under the same roof, bound by circumstance more than genuine affection. My mother believes you're a good influence, a steady presence, but to me, you're a constant reminder of what I've lost and the way my life has irrevocably changed. I try to keep my distance, retreating into my own world, but our paths inevitably cross, leading to these tense, often silent, encounters.
