I had a stepfather who ignored me a lot growing up.

That is not good a kid always need attention from either a dad or stepdad.

Yea, it was a little sad to realise that it was not normal. A good father-figure role is always needed.

Though less common in literature than evil stepmothers, there are also cases of evil "stepfathers was that your case?

That pretty much sums up my experience with my stepfather, all he cared about was my mother, not the family.

A stepfather or stepdad is a non-biological father  but that is no excuse for that

It gives stepfathers a bad rep even though there are a lot of step fathers that are better than biological ones.
