    I have a dear friend, "Shannon" (fake name), in her early 60's, and as a toddler her parents divorced and dad remarried a petty woman, "Cruella", who wanted him to cut ties
  • 04
    with Shannon. They still managed a relationship, but not as close as it should have been during her years growing up. Shannon married young and struggled a lot but raised her 3 girls into young women who all now have families of their own, and Shannon
  • 05
    is now a proud grandmother and great- grandmother. But back to Cruella. When Shannon was still in her 20's and had left her first husband (a cheater and criminal) for
  • 06
    her own sanity, and the safety of her and her daughters, her dad had told her to come home and he'd help her with a place to stay. Upon arrival, Cruella (she controlled finances) said she was unwelcome and on her own. Shannon
  • 07
    figured it out, and again, the girls grew up healthy and loved, and Shannon remarried a loving man, but for 30 years, she was never allowed to visit her father for Christmas or holidays or birthdays.
  • 08
    Cruella passed this year. Shannon was invited for Christmas, and her father surprised her by letting her know that he was paying off her mortgage. It could never make up for not being then when she was younger, but it could give her some comfort
  • 09
    now that she is retired. When they went to the bank today, she learned where the money came from: it is Cruella's life insurance payout.

    Cruella would roll over in grave if she knew that her life insurance went to pay off the house of the step-daughter she wanted to deny existed for nearly her whole life.

    Grouchy_Tap_8264 OP. 17 hr. ago The loss of all the moments is sad; the petty satisfaction Shannon feels in knowing that her mortgage was paid off with step-thing's life insurance isn't.

    And while Shannon struggled, and SHOULD have had more family, she's a lovely woman who has made so many people in her world her family, and is beloved by so many. I

    posted this with her permission because she IS a bit happy to have THIS comfort and this little petty grin.

    trowzerss 13 hr. ago · Yep, this isn't just on Cruella. Dad enabled it. He's not blameless in this scenario. Should have kicked Cruella
  • 17
    and supported his daughter. If not for the relationship with the dad, Cruella couldn't have done any of that stuff.

    K Onk Zlatarog 15 hr. ago This hits home. I have a half sister that lives in the same city as my dad. My stepmom is really kin weird and manipulative.
  • 19
    Anyways, my dad hadn't had a relationship with her in forever and when he moved to that city things were going great!
  • 20
    Then my half sister had a baby, and everything went to when my stepmom tried to get her to use homebrew baby powder during the shortage. Now she refuses to visit for anything.
  • 21
    After the fiasco, my Dad stopped seeing her too out of laziness I guess. shame on my Dad for not trying harder or at least keeping a relationship with her. Makes me mad

    jstam26 18 hr. ago This is just sad. Imagine allowing someone to dictate about seeing your family. I'm only saying this because mine tried and fell flat on his face.
