My 24 y.o. stepdaughter visits on weekends. I wanted space for my daily workouts, so I transformed it into my gym. She was angry but I told her, ‘This is my home now, you don’t get to decide!’ Hours later, I got a disturbing call from my own daughter, and I rushed to her home.
I fainted when I discovered my husband had turned her house upside down. Turns out my husband, in a fit of rage, had shown up at her place with bottles of detergent and poured the liquid all over her brand-new furniture. My daughter said he’d shouted, “Tell your mother: My money, my rules!” Last year, when my daughter got married, we had gifted her this furniture set-he had paid for it. And now, he’d done this to get back at me. I’m stunned by how petty and immature his behavior was! All I wanted was a little space in my own house, and he took it out on my poor daughter. Do you think I should have acted differently?
