My Stepdaughters Hid My Daughter’s Passport So She Couldn’t Go On Vacation—I Wanted to Cancel It Entirely, but Karma Hit First

You think you know the people you live with until they show you who they really are.

When I married Pam, I hoped for a fresh start with my daughter, Kya. But after Pam’s daughters, Danise and Tasha, moved back in with their kids, things turned chaotic. They started treating Kya like a maid, making her do their chores without asking. When I confronted Pam, she promised to handle it, but things didn’t improve.

Then, when we planned a family vacation, Danise and Tasha tried to convince me to leave Kya behind to babysit. When Kya’s passport went missing, I discovered they’d hidden it to force her to stay. To make matters worse, my grandkids caught chickenpox, ruining the vacation for everyone but Kya and me.

I realized that Kya and I weren’t happy, so I confronted Pam. I told her I was ending things because her daughters disrespected my daughter, and I couldn’t let that continue. I kicked Pam and her daughters out of the house, demanding they leave by the end of the week. I chose Kya’s well-being over everything.
