Ugh, I'm so pissed right now. Have you guys ever kept your mouth shut about something, because you don't want to create drama and/or hurt anyone's feelings? I'm in that situation right now. My mom got married in June to a guy she dated for like 8 months, and he ended up being a really huge alcoholic. My mom doesn't want me to comment on it, though, and I haven't ever even mentioned it. But he drinks. ALOT. And it bothers me so much, considering he gets really bitchy/mean/weird when he drinks. I just hate living around the alcohol, too. My mom knows he has a problem, but she defends him and says there's nothing wrong with it as long as noone gets hurt. But then again, she said the same thing about my biological father who is a 25-year crack addict. I just hate living around addicts, considering I was one a couple of years ago, but I was able to overcome it. I'm getting so annoyed by it to the point that I don't even spend any time downstairs or with my family anymore.
Ch.... Tell your mom he's hurting your family, and tearing it apart. Your mother obviously defends him because she loves him, and don't wanna lose him, but you must make it clear she needs to think about her sons as well, cause living with an addict is no fun. And also, when she tries to come up with arguments, compare this situation with the situation of your biological father.
I know you're not trying to stir up problems, but if you're bothered by it and you want to improve your home situation you must say something about it.

Good idea, sis. Thank you. I've tried talking to her about it before, when he's not around, and she's always just like "you hate everybody", "you're just mad I'm married", etc. I'm not trying to get her to divorce him or anything, but his addiction is bad. He also has a really bad gambling addiction. A couple of weeks before Christmas, we found out that he gambled away $1500 of our Christmas funds. My mom had no clue. She still wouldn't let me bring it up when she told me though. He's just a really shady person. He hasn't told us much about himself, and I'm seriously wondering if he's a con artist or something. My biological father is one, he marries woman with money and then pawns off their ****. That's why I haven't talked to him in nearly 3 years. But I'm just really unsure about all of this. I want my mom to be happy, but I don't want to sacrifice MY happiness for it.
Don't listen to it, sis. The demo will make you hate the song.
I lovike the demo, mostly the lyrics though. The bass is kinda Take it Off-ish, but hopefully they work that out before the final release. Then with Britney's vocals, the Dance Break and Electric Guitar (Toxic teas maybe) added it will slay. I'm also seeing longevity for it since it's very radio friendly without being a generic piece of ****. I want the Final Version and Music Video now.

You should say things whom would get her to thinking. Mothers are always like that, they act like they don't care but they always want the best for their children.
Obviously he needs help, and it's not a necessity from your mother divorcing him. He could also improve himself and going to rehab, which would change his vision completely. 'Cause you know drugs and alcohol could do a lot with your brains.
That's just... so. Does he have any personal issues which got him to drinking in huge amounts and gambling your money away? Again, you need to make it clear you cannot continue living this way with this addict in house who basically uses you.
Yeah, I blame that to drugs/alcohol whatever his addiction is.... Aww sis, I'm here for you.
Yeah, you can get your mom to be happy, and your stepfather as well, step one is talking + rehab.
