She Called Her Stepsister A Spoiled Golddigger After She Said She Should Split The Money That Her Dad Offered To Give Her For Her Wedding
It’s normal for there to be some tension or jealousy at times between step-siblings. It’s a relationship that comes with its own special set of challenges.
One woman recently snapped at her stepsister, who has been bitter and jealous of her for years because she has a closer relationship with her dad.
She’s 24-years-old, and her parents are split up. Thirteen years ago, her dad married his current wife, Melissa, who has a 25-year-old daughter named Sara.
She didn’t spend a ton of time at her dad’s growing up since she lived with her mom full-time. However, when she did visit her dad for usually two nights a week, they spent valuable time together, and he’d take her out to dinner.
While she and Melissa never grew very close, Melissa was always nice to her. Sara, however, was a different story.
“Sara, on the other hand, has always been jealous of me and my relationship with my dad,” she said.
“Anything I was doing, she wanted to do. Anywhere I was going with my dad, she wanted to come. My dad always handled it, but I was always aware that she was clearly unhappy when I was around.”
One time, her dad even expressed to her that it stressed him out how much Sara expected from him. Anytime he tried talking to Melissa about it, she’d dismiss his concerns.
Since she moved away from home, she hadn’t seen Sara in years. But she recently got engaged, so she went into town to have dinner with her fiancé, her dad, Melissa, Sara, and Sara’s fiancé.

“My dad made a toast and said he’d like to pay for the wedding,” she recalled.
“He then presented us with a check. I thanked him but said we would be paying for the wedding ourselves. My dad said he wanted to contribute to our lives in some way, and my fiancé suggested we could put the money into a trust for our future child. We then continued on with the dinner.”
The following day, she received a call from Sara, who told her she should take the money her dad gave her and split it between them.
When she asked Sara why, she said it was because they shared a father figure, suggesting that she deserved the money, too.
Then, she told Sara that the money her dad gave her had nothing to do with her and that if her dad wanted to give her money, he would’ve.
Sara began getting angry and told her she should give her some of the money because she didn’t need it. Sara said it wasn’t her fault she didn’t have a dad and that it was time to admit they shared a dad.
Then, she called her several mean names and told her she was a spoiled gold digger.
Tired of Sara’s verbal attack, she told her, “It’s not my fault he doesn’t love you. If you want money from him, ask him,” before hanging up the phone.
She later found out that Sara must’ve told her dad about their conversation because he called her a few days later and said he was angry with her for blowing up on her stepsister.
“He said it’s caused a lot of drama between him and Melissa and Sara,” she explained.
“He said I didn’t have to respond to Sara’s goading, and maybe that’s true.”
While she doesn’t think she did anything wrong, her dad is making her wonder if she should’ve eased up on Sara during their phone call.
Was she too harsh with Sara?
