Her Stepmom Told Her Stepsister That She Would Be Getting The Family Heirloom Engagement Ring, And It Sparked Massive Drama
When this young woman was just 8-years-old, her mother tragically passed away. Then, just six months after the loss of her mom, her dad met a woman named Lucy at a support group for grieving widows and widowers.
Apparently, her dad and Lucy quickly hit it off, too, and immediately started dating after they met. At the time, Lucy had only lost her husband 11 months prior. Plus, the woman also had a young daughter named Maisie, who was just 7-years-old.
So, the pair wound up tying the knot, and their families were blended together. But, she revealed how she never, ever got along with her stepsister Maisie.
According to her, she and Maisie were just toxic together. And honestly, it makes sense, given the circumstances.
“Pretty sure the reason is we were two grieving kids, who lost a parent, struggling with the loss of said parent,” she recalled.
“And then our surviving parent marries the other’s, and suddenly, the stepparent is being over pushy and calling us their kid, and we’re not getting what we need from our actual parent.”
She claimed that Lucy was especially horrible with this, too. Apparently, her stepmother called her “daughter” before her dad even officially tied the knot with Lucy.
Plus, years ago, she learned that Lucy had been saving her engagement ring from her first marriage just for her.
But obviously, the ring was a family heirloom that Lucy’s parents had given to her stepmother’s first husband. So, she did not want it and told Lucy that.

Unfortunately, though, her stepmother just ignored her. On top of that, Lucy even ignored her own parents– who claimed they wanted Maisie to have the ring.
“Lucy was offended they would treat me as less of a grandkid. But it’s true. They are not my grandparents, and I am not their granddaughter,” she explained.
Now, though, she is 17-years-old; meanwhile, Maisie is 16-years-old. And more drama regarding Lucy’s engagement ring has sprung up again.
Honestly, she has no idea how it happened, but her stepmother reportedly informed Maisie that the engagement ring from Lucy’s marriage to Maisie’s dad would be saved for her– as the eldest daughter– instead of Maisie.
And after that, her stepsister utterly freaked out. Apparently, Maisie screamed at Lucy and claimed that she was really Lucy’s daughter.
Plus, Maisie pointed out how her late father had proposed with that ring. So, if anyone was entitled to get the ring, Maisie believed it would be her.
But, the drama did not end there– because after Maisie was finished yelling at Lucy, she was next. Her stepsister wound up screaming at her– claiming to hate her and accusing her of being a thief.
Plus, Maisie even claimed that she should have died with her mom instead of stealing Lucy and stealing away the memory of Maisie’s parent’s marriage.
What she was most shocked about during all of this, though, was her stepmother’s actions.
“I couldn’t believe Lucy had told her own daughter she was giving me the ring after I said I wouldn’t want it,” she revealed.
And that realization was what pushed her to start freaking out on Lucy. She yelled at her stepmother and reiterated how she did not want the “stupid engagement ring,” pointing out how the heirloom was completely meaningless to her.
Then, she claimed that Lucy would never be her mom and revealed how the engagement ring would just go to waste if it was left for her.
“I also told Lucy to give it to her own daughter and stop being such an uncaring mom to her,” she added.
While it felt good to tell her stepmother off, though, her father was seriously disappointed. He claimed it wasn’t right for her to pile everything on Lucy like that. Plus, he asked why she was so angry about the engagement ring in the first place.
At that point, she tried to explain how nobody wanted her to have the ring except Lucy. Yet, due to her stepmother’s actions, she was the one viewed as selfish even though she did not want it.
Still, her father believed that she owed her stepmother an apology. Plus, her dad claimed she needed to give Lucy a chance since he was sick and tired of having a fractured family. Quite frankly, though, she basically wound up telling her father that the state of their family was his fault.
“I told him that’s what you get when two fractured grieving families get forced on each other,” she said.
So now, even though she stands by her own opinion, she’s still been left wondering whether screaming at her stepmother about the engagement ring was the wrong thing to do.
Why do you think Lucy wants to give her the engagement ring so badly instead of Maisie? Doesn’t it make sense for Maisie to get the ring? Did she have a right to scream at her stepmother since she got dragged into unnecessary drama? How would you have reacted in this situation?
