She Went To See The New Barbie Movie With Friends Instead Of Her Stepmom, And Her Stepmom Got So Angry That Her Dad’s Wedding Was Actually Called Off

This 14-year-old woman went to see the new Barbie movie with some friends just last night.
But, right after she finished watching the film, she realized that her 43-year-old soon-to-be stepmother had sent her a ton of text messages.
Apparently, her stepmom was really upset, and she got accused of ditching her stepmom– who also wanted to watch the Barbie movie– for her friends.
Now, she thought about the messages for quite a while. However, she ultimately decided to push them to the back of her mind for the sake of just ignoring the stress and enjoying her hang out with her friends.
Then, once she had a chance to gather her thoughts, she formulated a response.
Her stepmom had asked in the initial messages if she was upset about something. That’s why, in her response, she decided to be upfront and tell her stepmom the truth.
“I told her I wasn’t comfortable seeing her because of the things she’s done to me and my sisters,” she explained.
“[For instance], making uncomfortable and [weird] comments about our bodies, joking about sensitive topics to us, pitting us against each other, years of verbal torment, etc.”
Rather than trying to understand her feelings, though, her stepmom just fired back– calling her a disappointment, a liar, and a “lost child.”

A text argument then unfolded before her eyes, but she attempted to remain as calm as possible, even as she got accused of hating her stepmom and told that she should never talk to her stepmom again!
After a while, her stepmom blocked her and stopped sending flurries of messages. At that point, she went home to her mom’s house.
But she later found out that her stepmom had utterly exploded during their argument– reportedly screaming, sobbing, and even throwing things.
“I wasn’t there, but she was mad because I ruined everything,” she said.
“Apparently, our nuclear-esque family was perfect before I was honest.”
Still, the drama was far from over. Just a few hours later, she learned that her stepmom had actually called off all of their family plans due to their fight– including her father and stepmom’s wedding!
Her stepmom’s reasoning was that she had “ruined” absolutely everything.
Thankfully, she claimed that no one else in her family had taken her stepmom’s side. Yet, she still has no clue what to do.
“I feel both awful and proud of myself,” she admitted.
I feel like I’ve done the right thing because she has done terrible things to my family without ever taking accountability.”
However, at the same time, she also pities her stepmother and feels guilty about prompting such an outburst.
So, she’s been left feeling conflicted and is not sure how to proceed in this situation.
Why do you think her stepmom threw a tantrum over the Barbie movie? Does it sound like there’s a lot of pent-up tension between them? Should she feel guilty about her stepmom calling off the wedding or not?
