A woman had suffered her stepdaughter’s lies for years, losing her a fortune in lawyer bills. And now she’s back after almost a decade, demanding she share her lottery winnings. Here is what she had to say.
They Hadn’t Seen Her In 9 Years
The woman said, “To give some context, my stepdaughter(SD) is 22. My SO (significant other) and I haven’t seen SD in 9 years.”
She Was Lying
When the girl was 11 years old, her father and mother shared custody. However, the stepdaughter put this in danger when she lied about her dad. Lies that could have put him in prison. They thought the mother was behind it, seeing as they were elaborate and the mother wanted full custody of her daughter.
A Huge Sum
Fighting the accusations and custody battles cost the woman and her husband about six figures in legal fees over two years. The woman had to sell her house to pay for it!
She Couldn’t Care For Her Dying Father
The house had been in the family for generations, but that wasn’t the worst part. Selling her home meant the woman could not care for her sick father, whom she loved dearly. But they had to use the money to fight the daughter’s accusations; otherwise, her husband was potentially facing prison time for the possible abuse of his daughter.
She Was Blackmailing Her Dad
In a therapy session, the 11-year-old girl admitted that she would continue telling lies if her father continued to fight for custody. She didn’t want to be taken away from her mother. The father was devastated. He told her he would allow her mother full custody but said she could contact him if she ever wanted to have a relationship.
The Mother Got What She Asked
In the end, the husband’s ex-wife got what she was asking for; child support was paid for her daughter until she turned 18, and she had full custody. Despite the conflict, the woman and her husband continued to send gifts to their stepdaughter. They sent birthday and Christmas presents, cards, and texts, but they didn’t know how to contact her when her mother moved and changed their numbers.
She Won The Lottery
The woman said, “5 months ago, I won the lotto. The money was a significant sum, but not rolling in money.” Although the money was not a fortune, she calculated that she could stretch it to pay her debts, put deposits on a house and a car, and still put some money into her children’s education.
Their Stepdaughter Re-Appeared
Nine years passed, and they’d heard nothing from the daughter. They only had contact with her mother when child support was two days late because they had moved. But then they got a surprising text.
She Was After Their Lottery Winnings
Her husband received a text from their stepdaughter. They started talking, exchanging pleasantries mainly, and then things got awkward. She said she had heard about the lottery winnings and was confused about why she hadn’t been contacted.
She Wanted Them To Buy Her Mother A House
The stepdaughter wanted them to buy her mother a house. Things got awkward, and the father tried to sidestep the topic, but the daughter wouldn’t let it go. She wanted money for a deposit.
The Woman Refused
The woman said no! The woman still resented the daughter. Her lies had already cost her her house and almost her children ten years ago. If the father had been charged with any of the lies her stepdaughter had been spreading, they wouldn’t have been allowed to have custody of their own children, too. Her husband’s mother and sister were angry and berated her husband, stating that he should give them something. But what she was asking for was more than her own children would receive. The woman took to the internet for advice.
The Internet Had Opinions
One person said, “What??? You could better justify giving some $$$ to a stranger walking down the street than those evil folks. They’re only money-grubbing leeches.”
Others Had Thoughts
Another said, “It sounded to me like SD accused her dad of abuse, and they had criminal investigations and charges to defend, so custody wasn’t the problem.”
