I feel uncomfortable around my stepdad even though he does nothing wrong?

[Anonymous]

I used to be very close with my stepdad but ever since quarantine or even before I feel uncomfortable around him and I don’t know why. Is there any way to fix this? I am 15 by the way

Could it be anything he has said or done that make you uncomfortable? Remarks about your appearance, unwanted physical contact? Or is it truly just a feeling?

I've seen this in other young women. My (now) stepdaughter was leery of me for a while. At the time her mother and I were living together but not married and she had friends with judgmental parents. A couple of years later and we were good friends again. Her mother and I married and now my stepdaughter proudly calls me her stepdad.

If you are close with your mother, talk to her about how you feel.

maybe its just a bit too awkward in that room, watch some youtube or movies, get along, usually that helps

Follow your instincts, and if you are open with your mom talk to her about what you are feeling and see what she says. But if that doesn't work, then you can phone a youth counselor that would be able to talk to you and see why it is that you're feeling about your step-dad. I hope for you to be safe, and for your mom to help you and supports you with this unsettling feelings towards your step-dad. Good luck.
