In a shocking turn of events, my stepmother Brenda and her mean daughters Brittany and Chloe kicked me out after my father was said to have gone into a coma. Their bad luck didn’t go as planned, though.
When Dad brought Brenda and her kids into our home, my life changed. It was clear that she was passive-aggressive toward me, even though she tried to look nice. Both twins were mean, and they often made fun of how I looked when Dad wasn’t around.
It was hard for me to avoid them, but their constant teasing got to me. Dad didn’t know what they were really like because he was so taken with Brenda’s fake beauty.
I told Brenda she was lying the night before Dad’s surgery. What did she say? She said she wanted to “help” me, which was just a shallow show of care.
As Dad’s health got worse, I was afraid of being left with Brenda and her girls. When Brenda got a call from the hospital telling her that Dad was in a coma, my worst fears came true.
With shaking hands, I recorded Brenda’s talk, which showed what she really wanted to do. When I went to see my dad the next morning, he was just fine and had only had a small mix-up.
We all went back home together. Brenda, Brittany, and Chloe were waiting for us, shocked that we were there. I played the clip that proved their guilt, revealing their lies.
Dad was so mad that he yelled at them to leave. As they left, angry and ashamed, our troubled past started to fade away.
Dad finally said sorry for not trusting me sooner. Leaving the pain behind, we set out on a new journey together.
I knew we were ready for anything when I looked at my dad. We were stronger than ever together.
