ok so i`m really getting weirded out by my step mom.

They just got married, and she just moved in, but they had been dating for 15 years almost my whole life, and when i went to my dads every other weekend my whole childhood they lvied together so i didnt expect this, because i thought i knew her but i guess this is new.

Anyways i`m pretty sure she has a drinking problem, shes always drinkin wine, and she says the weirdest fucking things to me, i cant exactly explain just weird things like maek me and my friends look at eachother with confused looks. Like i was bringing my laptop to my room from the basment and i couldnt carry my coat to i put the hood on my head and she started laughing really hard and i asked her what? she told me i looked like a nun? wtf? im sure she was drunk, whenever she says these weird things she always drinking wine so thats why i'm guessing shes a drunk. She doesn't work because shes not looking for a job until she unpacks, yet shes lived here for a month and NOTHINGS been done, theres boxes everywhere no dinning room because thats where the boxes are, and i'm frustrated because EVERYONE works full time in this household, me, my brother and my dad, except for her. and i totally understand needing to unpack beofre going to work but all she does all day is lye in bed then watch tv. and drink wine.

My dad and her have been claiming shes sick the last week, but i can tell shes just having a bad week of depression (she has depression) because she hasn't had any symptoms of sickness and shes been drinking everyday, she wouldnt be drinking if she was actually sick. I kinda dont have any sympothy for her with that because i have bad depression too but i suck it up and move on, she has responsibilities she cant just shut down her life.
I'm pretty sure she stopped seeing her therapist, and i dont feel comfertable telling my dad all this because i feel so judgmental and like it wont even matter anyway like he will just think i'm just being a "rebelious teenager" or something.

anyway needed to get some opnionons on the matter.
should something change or am i just being judgmental because i dont like her?

If you like someone then you find it easier to feel sympathy for them even if they seem like they aren't helping themselves. Maybe you are just being more judgemental because you dont like her but thats understandable. You probably see her as being more hassle than she's worth. Try to be a bit more understanding though. You might be able to get on with life with depression but she obviously cant.

I say you should speak to your dad.
He can do a number of things. She isn't working so he can stop supplying her money to buy the drink. Or he can make sure she goes to see her therapist. I think he will do his best to make things better for both of you.
You must sound like you are worried for her. Dont come across as angry or he will think you are just over reacting and spiteful.
