When you were a kid, you probably expected your parents to pay for your basic needs and necessities. That's part of what being a parent is. Sure, you'd save up your babysitting money to buy yourself a new shirt at the mall or partake in a movie theater outing on a Friday night—but they would cover everything you needed, like housing, bills, basic clothes, and more. When you get a bit older and you're still living under their roof, it makes sense to start contributing some dough to the family fund—it helps you practice responsibility and budgeting. However, when your money is going toward funding a gambling habit that your stepmother has, you probably don't want to throw your money away like that. After all, she's the one lying to you about where the money is going.
So, you start a secret savings account—your escape fund. No harm, no foul. Then, your stepmom finds out about it. She gives you an ultimatum: Give her money, or leave. You leave. Why? It beats living under the same roof as someone stealing money from you to fund a habit they're not looking to quit. That's what this next story is about, so scroll below to read the entire story.
