I'm assuming by "new" wife, we mean literally new, like less than a year since marriage? Really, your sister is 13. She's already got a pretty solid world view of her own, without any help from your stepmother. If she thinks that sex and alcohol at 13 are okay, that's a sign of problems that have been around much longer than your stepmother.
Completely unrelated, but I just finished reading Xenocide. What a fucking depressing ending. I mean, sure, things are going great for the good guys... but the last chapter is so depressing.
