DEAR DEIDRE: I WANT to get on the property ladder but my stepmum is preventing my dream from becoming a reality.
I’m 24 and since graduating I have been working my socks off as a trainee engineer.
My dad owns his own electrical company and has always promised that if I completed my degree and secured a job, he would help me with a deposit.
He knows I can’t stand living at home as I don’t get on with his wife.
She is a freeloader and expects my dad to pay for everything.
Whenever I bring up the topic of property she always persuades Dad to delay helping me. It’s causing a rift between us.

DEIDRE SAYS: Many people your age are finding it hard to get a mortgage.
If your dad isn’t ready to help you, you may be happier in a house share with a friend?
Try to talk to your dad alone so you can plan realistically for your future.
My support pack Step Family Problems might help.
