My Stepmom Demanded Rent—She Wasn’t R

Loss and Change

When I was 14, my mom died just after her divorce from my dad.

A year later, he remarried a woman named Karen — charming at first, but her smile “never quite reached her eyes.”

She mocked my mom and treated me like a burden.

The Turning Point

By 18, she demanded, “You need to start paying rent.”

What she didn’t know was that my mom had left me the house.

When I showed her the deed, “the blood drained from her face.”

Revealing the Truth

Karen’s cruelty worsened until her affair and spending habits came to light.

I recorded everything. When confronted, she was exposed and kicked out.

Later, she tried suing my dad — but we won in court.

Peace Restored

Months later, she begged to “come home.”

I replied, “Home was never yours to begin with.”

The house felt lighter, and for the first time, we found peace again.
