One might think that this is a bit extreme of the kid, but I think it's necessary. If he played down his exact feelings, his dad wouldn't be able to take the actionable steps to fix it. His honesty might've hurt his feelings, but he's been spending his whole lie squashing down his feelings and not telling his dad his side of the story, and that hasn't helped anything thus far.

17-year-old confronts his father for being a better dad to his stepchildren than he was for him, his stepmom overhears and scolds him for not accepting her children: 'I told [my dad] I wanted him to ignore them and only care about me'
So many parents are better the second time around, and it's bittersweet. How many times have you heard this story before? A mom had her first kid at 20 when she was young, dumb, and making everything up as she went along. Then, 15 years later, she has her 2nd kid and is able to give that kid everything her eldest never had. While the eldest might be glad that their sibling is growing up in a more stable environment than they did, they likely simultaneously feel bitter that they never got to live in a nice house and feel financially secure their entire lives. It's a perfectly normal feeling.
These kinds of resentments don't only happen in nuclear families. If you have a blended family, there's a huge chance that a kid will be resentful of their parents starting a new family with new kids that they don't know or care about.
