17-year-old claims stepdad, James, isn’t her “real” dad in front of the whole family, her mom forces her to apologize to him: “James just mopes around now”

Our relationship to our parents can't be exchanged with anything else in life. Even if our mother is a narcissist, selfish, petty, controlling, or patronizing, we still love her, and in the back of our hearts we always hope that she has will love us back unconditionally one day. And even if our dad is neglectful, abandoning, and the scum of the earth type of father, we also just want his love and appreciation at the end of the day. It's completely biological to be so coveting of love from our parents. When we don't have it, we start forming unhealthy attachments to other things sometimes.

In the story below, the protagonist is a teenage girl who never got to know her birth father. But solely because he is her birth father, she's drawn to him and will constantly consider him her father, rather than try to replace him with someone else. Read the full story below for all the juicy details.
