And each day pray for them but stay away. If you per dad wants to make amends to you after your stepmom dies let him put in the effort. Personally I have never liked the silent treatment and would prefer to close off and say thanks but no thanks to these people that you find damaging ungrateful and quite awful. To pray for the, that they both be blessed with their hearts' desires is also helpful whether on believes in God or not.
Good luck-if you so choose to re engage you probably need to consider doing it without an expectations...
