My stepmom stole my late mom's $25K inheritance to buy her son a jeep — karma made her pay THREE TIMES OVER. ______________________________________ My mom died when I was 9. Before she passed, she set up a $25K trust for me for when I turned 18. "For college or your first home," she said. My dad promised to protect it. Then came Tracy — my stepmom. Sweet voice, fake smile. After she married Dad, everything shifted. He died suddenly when I was 15, and she became my guardian. She made it very clear I wasn't family. Her son, Connor, got everything — new clothes, a new iPhone, and steak dinners. I got his torn hand-me-downs. When I asked for a new jacket, she sneered, "BE GRATEFUL YOU HAVE ANYTHING!" Then she made me move to the basement — cold concrete, a thin mattress, no heat. She called it "teaching humility." Connor called me "RAT BOY." I ate scraps while they had full meals upstairs. I counted down the days until I turned 18 — until I could take my inheritance and finally leave. My birthday came. She threw a fake dinner, even hugged me. But when I asked about my trust, she smiled tightly and said, "HONEY… THAT MONEY'S GONE!" "Gone?" I asked. "What do you mean, gone?" She started with fake sweetness. "YOU'VE LIVED HERE RENT-FREE FOR YEARS. DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH FOOD AND ELECTRICITY COST? I USED THAT MONEY FOR HOUSEHOLD NEEDS." "Household needs?" I repeated. "You mean Connor's Jeep?" Her voice hardened. "DON'T YOU RAISE YOUR VOICE AT ME. THAT CAR WAS FOR THE FAMILY. YOU'LL USE IT TOO—" I was shaking. "You don't even let me upstairs," I said. She just smirked. "WATCH YOUR TONE! YOU SHOULD THANK ME FOR RAISING YOU AT ALL!" Later, Mom's lawyer confirmed it — she'd drained it months ago, legally, as my guardian. I worked, kept my head down, and waited. Then karma came knocking on my stepmom's door and made her pay three times over.⬇️⬇️⬇️
