OP’s father’s untimely passing has left a void in their life, and their mother has found solace in a new relationship. While everyone around them seems to embrace this change, OP finds themselves struggling to come to terms with the idea of someone stepping into their father’s role.

OP’s mother’s boyfriend assumes a parental role, implementing rules and expectations that OP feels are misplaced given their age and circumstances. This clash of perspectives raises questions about the fairness of applying the same rules to individuals with different life stages.
