She felt that the woman deserved it after what she made her go through, but the poster also felt bad for her brothers

In today’s story, the original poster (OP) tells us about her evil stepmother (Hildy), who ruined her life. The thing is, OP was not a planned baby, and she grew up with her mom, while her dad paid child support. However, things went sour after he married Hildy and had two kids “the right way.” Her stepmom did everything she could to ruin the poster’s life because she hated her mother.

From mocking OP’s Walmart clothes to excluding her from Christmas card pictures because of it, this woman was absolutely cruel. She felt no shame that she was tormenting a child, but then karma came knocking on her door. It all started when one of her kids came out as trans, and she pretended to be very supportive, but the truth was something else.

She started drinking a lot, gaining weight, and even lost her job. Apparently, she called OP and cursed her, claiming that she should have been trans instead. The frustrated poster called her dad and told him about it. He wanted Hildy to go to therapy, but our lady didn’t really care about it at all. 

Moreover, Hildy also came dressed in a white dress at OP’s bridal shower, without even zipping it up properly. The poster just shook her head in shame, but the truth was that she was enjoying watching how the woman was destroying her own life. She just felt bad for her brothers, and also thought that she was a bad person to be happy at Hildy’s misery.

After she vented online, folks were quick to assure her that she was not at all a bad person. Research suggests that having an emotionally or psychologically cruel stepmother can massively impact kids. They may face identity crises, struggle with self-esteem, and develop trust issues, making it challenging for them to form healthy relationships in adulthood.

It’s really sad that the action of one woman can have such a devastating effect on another. Netizens were also aghast at how Hildy kept mocking the poster’s clothes as a kid, and kept excluding her because of them. Experts also warn that when children are shamed and humiliated constantly, they tend to grow into adults with self-doubt, depression, and anxiety. 

If you really think about it, the woman doesn’t come off as a decent human being at all. Also, her reaction when her child came out as trans says a lot about her. Data shows that trans people already face discrimination in the US. During such challenging times, family support is very important, but it must be heartbreaking when it is just not there.

Despite everything that Hildy had done to her, netizens admired how the poster shared such a loving bond with her brothers. This definitely shows that OP is a good person, and not a bad one, as she believes. Anyone in her shoes would be delighted to see karma take care of Hildy, don’t you think so?
