[c=#7700B2]That's what I came for to try to find out something about my stepmom but I still can't see her profile and I know she was on here today cause I saw her she was on her phone. I need to know really bad why she left us for that week and she won't tell me. I even asked if it was something Aiden ir I did that had upset her and at first she said it was because Aiden's getting married and because I am getting my drivers license and we're all grown up and don't need her, and then she laughed and said no honey it's not I just need to be alone. I begged her to tell me why and all she would say is "Your daddy and I are fine, we're all fine" And then she was going for about a week. I swear it made zero sense. Now that she is home it is like she didn't leave and everything is mostly fine but I don't know how it can be because it doesn't make sense and I'm confused. I tried to ask my dad why she left and he said basically the same thing she needed to be alone. People just don't need to be alone not when they are married, he tried joking and asking if I really thought she'd leave Brady and Jessa behind if she were to just pack and up and go for good. But to be honest I don't know. All she does is yell at Brady for everything like now. I mean all he did was sneak off from the horrible church barbecue and he is sooo much trouble now. Like I told my dad when he said it it makes no sense he tries to say it is because I am too young and someday I will understand, that at times everyone needs to be alone. I think sometimes he forgets I'm not too young, I'm 16 and I know something isn't right and I hope she is not thinking of leaving but yet they act like nothing happened they never did and they still seem happy.

I think it would be very hard but very good if you told your stepmom it scared you that she left for a week. Stepmoms often feel like their feelings are ignored and feel unappreciated. She might easily think no one really cared that she was gone. If you tell her it scared you that she left I think it has a big possibility of opening her eyes to your feelings and make her realize she is cared about and her actions do have a big impact on those around her.
Sometimes I wonder why my 15 year old stepdaughter makes it so difficult for me. I think that she would celebrate if I left. Then she says something all of a sudden that makes me realize she does want me in her life and at the same time it makes me understand that something I did hurt her. In the end our relationship is better. We still go through tough times but it's ok even if it doesn't seem like it at the time.
