A 14-year-old girl has a dad who started dating a woman named Carol 2 years ago, and last month, her dad married Carol.
Well, Carol hates her, and Carol also hates her little brother, who is 10-years-old. Carol really has it out for her, though, and Carol never misses an opportunity to put her down, be nasty to her, or accuse her of being a problem.
“She constantly compares us to her daughters, constantly picks fights, and tries to parent my brother and me,” she explained.
“She yells and calls us names when we have to go over. If one of her daughters does something to us, like taking our stuff, she just brushes it off and laughs. And our dad just lets it happen.”
“We have no choice but to see him 4 times a month because of his and our mom’s court agreement. But we hate it there, and we hate Carol. So we didn’t go to their wedding, even though dad was super pissed and fought with us about it for two months after we told him we weren’t going.”
A week ago, her dad came to get her and her brother, and she instantly recognized that her dad and Carol were in high spirits, which hadn’t been the norm for them.
Carol was chatting about the honeymoon they went on to Florida, and after they arrived at her dad’s house, and she her brother were asked to sit down.
She had an awful feeling about what was going to happen, and then she realized Carol’s daughters strangely were not in the house.
“Carol came to sit on the other couch, and she was just staring at us, looking like she’d won something,” she said.

“And my dad comes in with a Blu-ray disc and puts it into the player and sits with Carol. And Carol says in this happy-b***** voice, this is since the two of you missed it. You can see what you missed.”
“It started playing, and we realized it was a video of their wedding day. A few seconds in, it was edited to a clip of them saying I do and kissing. My brother saw this and started to cry. And I just got so mad.”
“We hate Carol, and that’s why we didn’t go in the first place. She wasn’t gonna force us to look at it now. So I grabbed my brother’s hand and pulled him up off the couch and said we weren’t going to watch this. Carol sneered and said we had no choice. I told her she’d never be in charge of us no matter how much she wished she was and told my dad we were leaving.”
She had screamed that final piece at Carol, and then Carol called her a nasty name, so she called her a name back.
She knows it wasn’t very nice of her, but she was upset that her dad wasn’t intervening or sticking up for her.
She then confronted her dad about allowing Carol to speak to her in such a terrible way, and her dad just laughed at her.
He then mentioned that he wasn’t going to get involved, and he walked to his bedroom and shut the door before locking it.
She grabbed her things, helped her brother get ready to leave, and they both walked right out the door with Carol still yelling at them.
“IDK most of what she was saying; it was too loud and screamy,” she continued. “I started walking with my brother down the side of the road and called mom on my cell to come to get us.”
“We walked for about ten minutes before she met us on the road.”
“Dad is mad at me, Carol is pissed but IDC. Mom is upset only because she thinks I shouldn’t have walked my brother along the road.”
She’s left wondering if it was wrong of her to react the way that she did after being forced to watch the wedding video.
