Honestly, this one makes me so peeved, just reading it, that I had to share it.
There are no words for the absolute h#llfire I would rain upon the step-son in this situation. Current marriage be d@mned. What an absolute piece of trash.
The fact that he was continually told no by his step-dad when trying to claim the heirloom jewellery left by the dead mother for her daughter. He then goes ahead and steals it anyways. There can be no forgiveness for this. Screw him and the entire family for attempting to defend his actions. This dad needs to cut ties and go for the jugular on this one.
