Stepdad was an emotionally abusive asshole. He certainly thought that he loved me, because he never understood that what he really wanted was to control me. My mom left him about 13 years ago and I took the opportunity to never speak to or see his again.

Stepmom (really just very serious multi-year girlfriend) was great, but bipolar. I never saw much of the bad times, but it was apparently enough that my dad couldn't handle it, so they didn't last. It was a shame because I really liked her. Haven't seen her since she and my dad broke up, but only because it happened to work out that way. My dad has talked to her kids once or twice now that they are adults, after they called for help with a specialized thing that he does for a living.
