This woman’s mother remarried a man named Pete when she was ten years old. And ever since then, she has had problems with her stepsister, Lacey.
Lacey is a year younger than the woman but has always torn her down. As a child, she would make fun of the woman using transphobic slurs and even use Autism Spectrum Disorder as an insult– both highly offensive and inappropriate.
This continued throughout middle school, to which Lacey’s father, Pete, would still defend his daughter.
“Pete would say it was just Lacey’s sense of humor and that she did not mean any harm,” the woman recalled. So, she had to live with the constant harassment.
It was not until high school when the woman’s mother and stepfather finally put their foot down.
Nonetheless, she and Lacey never recovered from those first few rough years and continue to have a strained relationship to this day.
Now, the woman is extremely excited since she is getting married in September. She and her fiancé got engaged in January of 2020 and have been planning the wedding ever since then due to the pandemic.
But, it is finally happening in just one month, and Lacey is trying to butt her way into the big event.
Apparently, last week, Lacey called the woman and asked if they could meet up at their parents’ house.

But, when Lacey arrived, she was wearing this extravagant white dress which made the woman do a double-take.
Then, she suggested something that made the woman literally cackle.
“She said I should tell my bridesmaids to get similar dresses because she wanted them to match the maid-of-honor– herself. And I laughed out loud because I honestly thought it was a joke,” the woman explained.
However, Lacey was allegedly being dead serious even though the wedding was one month away and the bridal party had been confirmed since the beginning of the year.
So, the woman tried to explain how there must have been some misunderstanding because her best friend, Aurora, was the maid-of-honor.
But Lacey was utterly pissed.
“She started saying some really vile stuff about Aurora and said she was supposed to be the maid-of-honor since she is family. I told Lacey that she has an ugly attitude and that I will never see her as my real family because she acts like people are below her,” the woman said.
The comments spurred a screaming match between the two step-sisters, and the woman ended up storming out afterward.
And since the altercation, the woman’s fiancé and friends have all supported her actions.
They believe that Lacey had acted really entitled and told the woman that she does not owe her step-sister anything.
On the other hand, though, Lacey’s parents believe that her statement was way too harsh.
They think that the woman should have taken the olive branch of Lacey trying to be more involved in her life and that the woman’s comments implied stepfamily could not be a real family.
Regardless of her parents’ feelings, though, the woman still believes it was only right to finally tell Lacey how she felt.
Do you believe what the woman said was too cruel? How would you have reacted in her shoes?
