Rehab dilemma

My dad died inf first grade. Then my mom met my step dad who I called dad and he called me daughter had a kid together who is now my half brother. A couple years in the relationship we found he was using drugs and sent him to a rehab. After he gets out he comes to my house a couple days before mothers day and says, I’ve meet another women in rehab. My mom then kicked him out and me adn my brother had to see him every other weekend, I felt saddened by this so I decided to stop going and seeing him and my step dad didnt seem to care. Now he is not paying any child support and my brother has to visit him in a court, I suspect he’s doing drugs again, and this is a sticky situation for me becasue im not getting much emotional help here. I have talked to councelors but they dont seem to get it. So somebody advice or help?

This is really sad and I think you just stopped going with him because you were going through emotional stuff too. I really think that you love him as your dad but now are confused because he has hurt your mum. Your dad proberbly does care about you but thinks you dont care about him so its a hard situation. Maybe next time your brother goes to see him at the court send a letter telling him how you feel about it all. Tell him you do still love him and apreciate the fact that he took you on as his own. I dont know what else can help but maybe talk to your mum and tell her your feeling this as much as your brother is and you need to talk. Good luck sweety.
