you just gotta remember that everything is always good, it sometimes just takes awhile to realize it.
i wish i knew where you were coming from though, i was only 2 months old when my parents split up and i was only 2 and a half months old when my mother started seeing my current step father.
but it is a lot easier to be close to the one you don't live with. i lived with my mom and to this day me and my father are so much closer than my mother and i. and i go months/years between visits with my father, even when i was in high school.
my advice to you is just let your mother know how you feel about the situation, i'm sure she will understand. confrontation is the best resolution.
