Since losing a parent is among life’s most excruciating experiences, this elder sister decided to take matters into her own hands after learning that her younger sibling was receiving unfair treatment from their widower dad’s new wife.
The sister used Reddit as a platform to describe the horrific event, which was chaotic from beginning to end.
She revealed that their mother had tragically died three years prior, and that she was the older of two sisters. But according to the sister, their bereaved father moved on quite fast and got married again six months after his wife passed away.
The ancestral mansion of their late mother, bequeathed to her eldest daughter in her will, was entered into by their father and his new spouse. The 16-year-old younger sister was left in a holiday house. The situation was made worse by the new wife removing all of the mother’s photos and putting them in the younger sister’s room.

The drama starts
The 16-year-old girl was informed that the new wife was expecting a child as she was having a hard time adjusting to the death of her mother and her father’s quick marriage. Besides this, she was also carrying twins.
The younger sister, who was still processing the loss of her mother and now had to consider welcoming two more children into the family, was devastated by this news.
The 16-year-old made the decision to throw a Sweet 16th birthday party at their house while her father and his new bride were gone in the middle of all of these difficulties. The teen’s father and stepmother ended up returning early from their trip, but the celebration went on well into the following morning. They were also not content.
The father was upset at finding a bunch of inebriated kids lying about the house when he returned home, even though he was informed of the party. This led to a furious altercation between the 16-year-old and the pregnant wife, which intensified into a yelling contest.
The situation only became worse, deteriorating to the point where the new wife kicked the younger daughter out and sent her to live with her aunt. She even went a step further and accused the teen of being just like her dead mother, saying she had become a burden to her father.

The older sister steps in
When the older sister discovered what happened, she was appalled. “I was furious when I got to know about it. I showed up home the next day,” she wrote on the Reddit post. As the legal owner of the house, she made a decision to evict her father and his new wife from the property. At the time, the wife was seven months pregnant with her twins.
The stepmother was unaware that the home belonged to her daughter, but she was told she had a week to vacate the property. The older sister understood that it was less than ideal to evict a pregnant woman from her home, but she felt she had no choice – especially given that she believe her father should have supported her younger sister, who had been struggling with depression since the passing of her mother.
Despite her actions, and her well-meaning intentions, the older sister was vilified by her father. He labeled her a spoiled brat and even threatened to contest her mother’s will. However, the older sister had already prepared for this and had retained a family lawyer.
Many Reddit users supported the older sister. To them, it appeared as though the stepmother was seeking a way to be rid of the 16-year-old to start a family with just her and her husband.
One person said they were so satisfied to read that the stepmother had been unaware that the home belonged to the older daughter.
Others added that the father should never have allowed the situation to escalate in the way that it did, and that he should have stood up for his daughter – especially when his new wife made some pretty cruel remarks about his late wife.
The general consensus was that the widowed husband and his new wife deserved each other, and that they should stay away from the two sisters…
