Thanks, Crankin! Thanks everyone else, too. You know, just writing about this has made me realize the biggest part of the problem is them together. I'm going to suggest to my stepmother that I take my dad for a day. I'm sure she'll be glad to get to do some stuff without him, too. I haven't spent any time alone with him in about 20 years. I'm thinking of taking him to a baseball game, or bowling, then ice cream. Maybe to our old pizza place. I'm feeling better about this now.

They always want to see everyone in a group, and I hate groups. I can make this into something good. I shouldn't just suffer in silence, when it could be fun to see him.
