Title: Is this natural or twisted?
Description: I don't hate him, Just don't care

My parents divoreced when I was five. My father was a truck driver and therefore not always there. I currently live with my mom and my step-father. I see my dad every other week. Odd thing is: I don't really care about him. I just don't.
I'm not close with him, I don't really like talking to him and when I do come over on his weekends I stay in my room nearly all the time. I don't have a connection with him.
Another thing is that I'm closer with my step-father and I love him very much. We can talk about things we understand that I can't with my own mother. And we're very much alike. We rarely get into fights (I don't get into fights with my biologic father although). We get get along great. He doesn't make me fell awkward, and I'm more comfortable hugging him then my own father. I even called him "dad" on more than one occasion and even in front of my father (biological). ANd I didn't even noticed; that's how natural it is. And get this, I'm currently up in PA with my Grandma and I miss my step-dad more than anyone else with mom close in second. What the heck?!
So, is this wrong or anything? Or is it something due to the circumstances.

I've never been in your situation, so I probably won't be much help. But I think it's due to circumstances, there's nothing bad or wrong with you.

As everyone else said, There is nothing wrong with the way you feel about your step-dad, WT.
I think you just feel more inclined to your step-father because you've grown to him more than your biological father. I'm going to assume you've spent much more time with your step-father ever since your mother and father split. It's natural to feel that way if that's the case - it's that you've become more closer with your step-father because you've gotten the chance to establish a deep relationship with him while it was your biological father's choice to distance himself with you and your mother.
But if you truly think it's awkward, maybe you should open yourself to your father and try spending sometime with him instead of being in your room when you see him.
Either way, none of this is wrong. Regardless of the rank/title in your family, it's okay to feel that way about your step-father. :)
