Okay, a) for English not being your first language, that was more grammatically correct than most fluent speakers :)
And b) You're not being dramatic in anyway whatsoever! Your father not being there may not be his fault but it can still really effect you. I won't say much more about that because I think I miht have a more varied view of how I'd react to this (sorry). About the stepmother, once again you were young and in need of affection and attention. Although you had less attention at his house and you don't blame him, he still should've been savoring his moments with you more than his new girlfriend. He spends (I assume) many more days with her than you, so if you being there was a rare accurance he should've been smothering you in attention. When it comes to new siblings, I think this just furthers my creeping suspicion of and unbalanced attention distribution. When my younger sibling was born, i hardly noticed any difference other than being unable to go to certain places. Although, it seems I was quite a bit younger than you and might not have realised. You shouldn't have felt left out and I wish I could go back in time and involve with the time they were spending with the baby. With the work, I'm always so devastated when people tell me about not being able to ask parents. Nkne of this was your fault at all! Also I'm so glad you have your siblings and you were so thoughtfull to not want them to feel any attention difference like you did! That just proves how selfless you are!
As long as you still love them and feel as though things are going in a good direction then it's all good. Maybe you can try actively asking you dad to maybe arrange regular meetings to gain a stronger realtionship. It could even be over the phone or texting just to talk about the day you had.
I'm sorry this comment was so long but i just really didnt want you to think you were overreacting at all when there were some serious issues in there! You are so kind and forgiving and so many people would be lucky to be half as resilient as you.
Sorry for typos.

Are you a self-supporting adult now? Have you made a life for yourself with friends outside your family?
