Her Stepsister Stole The Necklace Her Late Dad Gave Her, So She Got Her Grounded
Whether they are important or not, particular objects gifted by deceased family members can often play a critical role in our day-to-day lives.
What may seem like a small gesture to most magnifies once our loved one has passed, and to you, it may seem extremely important, as if they are right there with you every single day.
Losing a parent can be most challenging, especially when you watch them face a life-threatening illness.
Time is a thief. Before you know it, all those days, you thought you had slipped away in a matter of minutes.
That is why little gifts or trinkets given to us over the course of the years hold so much meaning.
Then there comes a time when your mother or father decides to remarry.
If you’re lucky, the person sitting in the chair your lost loved one used to sit in is quite pleasant.
However, what if this includes extra siblings? Especially those who enjoy sneaking into your room and messing around with your prized possessions?
A 17-year-old-girl lost her father five years ago to cancer. But, before he had passed, he gifted her a beautiful necklace that she has cherished ever since, wearing it almost every day. The only time she removes her necklace is when she showers or has dance practice.

While her mother remarried two years ago, she has never been close to her stepsisters. One of her stepsisters loves to borrow her stuff occasionally and usually without asking for permission.
So she let it slide until one day when the 17-year-old girl could not find the necklace her father gave her.
Panicking, the girl ran into her stepsister’s room to see if she had it. Low and behold, the girl was wearing it around her neck.
Politely, the girl asked for the necklace back and reminded her stepsister that she was not comfortable with her wearing it for obvious reasons.
The stepsister scoffed, walked out of the room, and told her to stop being a baby.
The girl then yells for her mother in hopes she will stop the stepsister from leaving the house, and to her surprise, her mother takes her stepsister’s side.
Demanding that she was too old to be attached to something, her mother then looked at her daughter and said, “Your father probably got this off the side of the street.”
While her parents never really got along in the past, this was an unfair statement to make.
Luckily, her stepdad comes to the girl’s defense.
“My stepdad overheard the conversation and came to my defense,” she said. “He explained to them that it was my necklace and his daughter had no right to steal it like that.”
“He said since she didn’t want to give me the necklace back she can stay home.”
Her stepsister then threw the necklace at her and walked away.
At this point, her mom is fuming. So her mom decides to make her, whose necklace was rudely taken away from her, stay home as well.
Now, this 17-year-old girl is feeling like she may have overreacted. The necklace is special to her. Being one of the last gifts her deceased father had given her, shouldn’t the mother understand the magnitude of which this small gesture holds?
