Trying to get along with the family!

Question - (6 August 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 7 August 2010)
A female United States age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I really don't think my step-siblings and step-father like my twin brother and I much. The funny thing is they don't have a problem with my mom.

My step-father has two daughters who are 14 and 15. Last year they moved in right before my mom and their father got married. My twin brother and I have barely talked to them since.

They're very withdrawn from my brother and I but with my mom or anybody else they're perfectly fine. They act like normal... they actually SMILE. But when we're around they give us this blank look.

Our step-father doesn't even talk to us. Only our mom or his kids.

I've sort of given up being trying to be 'family' (or friends for that matter). I don't want to do that but it seems they don't want anything to do with us. So is there any reason why they're like this?

My brother and I are weird, [sometimes] insane people who play too many video games and are joined at the hip... but we're friendly.

Any advice would be appreciated! Thank you!

All these are common problems in fractured families. rising divorces have been route of all of this. We never had these problems to deal just before your 3 generations.

KEL.B HERE 4 U agony auntask him what hes problem is?. the only way your going to get an answer is by asking him him self, then you can sort it out from there. explain to him for the sake of you mom you need to get on else your moms happiness will be ruined by this. or talk to your mom and tell your mom you need her help to get along with him. i had this problem with my step dad at first but he soon grew to love me, and now were insepreble.
