My dad divorced my mom when I was 4 and married Jane. Jane is honestly amazing. She really looked out for us, made sure dad was still supporting us, and even pushed him to keep things friendly with mom. Seriously, she’s nothing like those evil stepmoms in stories.
Of course, my mom hated Jane, blaming her for everything and trying to keep me from seeing her. But get this — last year, things got SUPER WEIRD.
Mom started popping over to Jane’s place, all under the guise of making peace. She even showed up at their family dinners and started buying toys for my half-brothers, Jane’s kids with dad. It was so suspicious because my mom NEVER LIKED them or Jane.
Then, just the other day, I overheard the truth. So, I got home earlier and found mom red-faced and fuming, screaming into the phone, “MY PLAN FAILED! THAT OLD HAG JANE WON’T
…“THAT OLD HAG JANE WON’T SELL THE HOUSE TO ME!”
I froze behind the door. It all clicked — Mom’s sudden “friendship,” the fake smiles, the gifts for the boys — it was all just a ploy to get close enough to Jane to convince her to sell the property Dad had left her after their divorce.
Jane had been kind to Mom despite everything, but Mom saw it as a weakness to exploit. The house wasn’t just any property — it was the one my grandparents had originally bought for Dad and where Jane now lived with my half-brothers.
Jane must have finally caught on, because Mom was raging about how “that witch” refused every offer, no matter how high.
In that moment, I realized the woman who raised me could still surprise me… and not in a good way.
Do you want me to make this one punchier, Facebook-viral style like the others you’ve been sharing?
