17-year-old blamed for mom and stepdad not having bio child together, he warns them he'll move out if they don't treat him better: 'It's not on me to make up for them having a kid together'

Having children isn't always a given for some couples, it can be a point of contention throughout the entirety of their relationship. In the story below, the protagonist is a 17-year-old guy who lost his father when he was a child. His mother remarried shortly after, and he's grown up most of his life with his stepfather. For anyone who's well-versed in stepparents, you know that the title or time spent together doesn't equate to something meaningful or eternal. Lots of people don't consider their stepparent a real "parent," and the nomenclature becomes an echo of their feelings for the person, despite not meaning any harm.

Not only does he have a strained relationship with his stepfather, but his mom and stepdad put a lot of tacit pressure on his existence in a way, due to their inability to biologically have children together. This isn't fair to him, nor can he do anything about it. I've never experienced anything on either side of this dynamic, but enjoy the full story below.

AITA for threatening to move out ASAP if my mom and stepfather can't stop putting it on me to make up for them not having a kid together?

Family therapy is a great idea for this type of scenario, mixing of family members that aren't stringently biological can be stressful for anyone, especially a teenager who isn't equipped to handle deep emotional pain and cope with it in a healthy way.
