My (F17) mother died when I was 12 and I could never get over it. But my father (m45) was on a whole other page as he almost instantly meet this woman "Brooke" and they got engaged. I grow resentful for the fact that he got over my mom's death so easily. I never liked Brooke to be honest. She never did efforts to make me like her nor did I. Even if we never had a friendly relationship she keep insisting on telling people that she is my mother, it triggered me badly and this has been for years.

I talked with my dad about it and he said that I was overthinking, that Brooke just wanted to have a mother-daughter relationship with me. I got irritated and demanded him to put her a stop, he said he would talk with her about it. Despite Brooke not being like the typical evil stepmother I never got to like or become fond of her and she has always been a stranger to me. My dislike towards her is more leaning towards the fact that she can't stop saying that she's my mother.

I might be the AH because of this - Brooke's friends were visiting her. My dad told me to go greet them and so I did. I got inside the kitchen where Brooke and her friends were and greeted them. A friend of hers said: "How big is your daughter now, Brooke!" I felt so annoyed but I politely said: "Thank you. But I'm not her daughter." Everyone got silent and I just said goodbye and went off the kitchen. Later that day my father began to scold me for being rude to Brooke and her friends. He said that I made Brooke cry and that I lacked of tact and that she is my mother now. I said that she wasn't my mom and she would never be, I also told my father to fuck off and stop bothering me.

AITA?
