My guess would be that it's nothing to do with you being a stepmum but just that they are teens and are going through that stage. I am the bio mum of my teen and she (as someone else so eloquently put it today) has been abducted by aliens and been replaced by someone I don't recognize. I was reliably informed that the aliens return your delightful children when they reach 18.
