Getting REVENGE on Your Family Members Who RUINED Your Life (r/AskReddit)

my parents were both killed in a hit-and-run car accident when I was 10 my dad was only 39 and my mom 35 neither of them had relatives who could take me in we lived in a really small church-going town where everyone knew one another my dad had been the heir to a small fortune and so didn't really have to work he didn't like the big city so him and my mom decided to move to a small town where he could have an antique store my mom was into collecting antiques I would have had to go the orphanage route when they died but this couple from the church who I will call mr. and mrs. banks made this big to-do in church about how a little girl needs a loving home and God has given us this joyous task of bringing her up in our home and hearts it's been a long time and I don't remember if those were mrs. banks exact words but they were something cringe-worthy like that the banks had their own daughter kitty who was a year older than me that should have meant we would be super good friends but Kitty had her own thing going and practically ignored me she was a holier than l-type the banks received a stipend from the state to take care of me but they also receive checks every month from my dad's estate which was supposed to take care of me until I was 18 when I did turn 18 I would receive full control of my inheritance the banks weren't exactly cruel to me but in private it was clear they were just using me to build up their reputation in town in front of other people they'd fawn over me in a sake cotton candy fashion that made me uncomfortable they'd also make kitty be nice to me in public which she resented the banks would also put on a big show whenever social workers came to check up on me they'd coach me before the lady would come and tell me to praise how godly and wonderful they were after the social worker left they'd go right back to ignoring me and spending my dad's money on crap on the internet or on trips it was clear to me even as a tween and teen that the banks were only using some of my endowment both from the state and from my trust to take care of me the rest they spent on themselves as I grew older I could see that my foster parents would pretend as though they had great business acumen and that's why they had more money and could buy a new Volvo where I'm from a new Volvo is an event and take a trip to New York and buy fancy clothes for kotti when I was 17 I noticed that my foster parents were stockpiling away my trust fund money to pay for Kitty's tuition to college throughout this time the banks would never outright say so but would heavily imply that I owed them and that once I got control of my inheritance that I should be godly and generous and give them some material compensation for all the work they did to raise me I think they already got lots of material especially since mrs. banks practically stole all of my mom's antiques from her store and kept them for herself gave them to Kitty or to her other relatives one thing my mom never kept at her stall was an extremely expensive Baroque era fine china set absolutely complete and worth tens of thousands of dollars not a replica but the real deal so real napoleon bonaparte himself might well have eaten the steak off those plates probably not but you get the point it was my China set of course but mrs. banks thought I was an idiot and didn't know that she would always talk about how this China set will go to kitty on her wedding day mrs. banks assumed that since I always dressed like a tomboy didn't care about all my mom's antiques that mrs. banks stole or gave away that I just didn't care about the China set when I was a kid my mom told me that things were things and not to obsess over them so having the flower Frau China set for myself wasn't an issue what was an issue as mrs. banks acting like it was hers to give away wrong lady so once Kitty went off to college thanks to my biological mom and dad's money I had to make my own plans I had always done well in school and had actually gotten a partial scholarship to attend school out of state the rest I could easily pay for with my inheritor which I would very soon have control of per usual mr. and mrs. banks were hanging me about how I owed them compensation and since I was going to be rich soon I ought to share the wealth I figured that over the past seven years they probably stole or misappropriated more than two hundred thousand dollars of my parents money to say nothing of the state money they misused I think they more than shared the wealth I never promised anything I just smiled and kept a tally of every single bank statement I got them quarterly that my trust issued over the years the banks family never shared them with me of course but when I asked the actual bank for a rundown they were more than happy to oblige I also wrote down every single major purchase my foster parents clearly made over the past seven years with money that was clearly beyond their means as a house wife and an insurance salesman things such as a $40,000 car for cash a used $20,000 car for cash that they gave to kitty trips to Hawaii New York cash gifts to the church that made them look super generous at my deceased parents expense I kept it all in a nice three-ring binder I already arranged my travel to my new campus I didn't have much stuff at the banks house anyway and had zero intention of coming back at least to their home the banks knew I was leaving but didn't bother seeing me off because they assumed I'd come back to give them that you I waited for our church his yearly antique sale extravaganza set to begin in three days per usual the banks donated all sorts of random stuff many of it knickknacks that used to belong to my mom and technically belong to me they weren't shy about giving away my stuff and taking credit for it while mr. and mrs. banks were on one of their shopping sprees with my parents money and away from their house I boxed up the China set and brought it to church I told the rummage sale committee that mrs. banks wanted to donate the priceless antiques for sale all benefits to go to the church this donation is made in the name of mr. and mrs. banks I was being fair if mrs. banks was really so godly she will be delighted that such a wonderful donation be made in her name sadly I knew she'd go the other way because she was faker than porn star implants the ladies were flabbergasted especially when I told them the appraisal of the sets value I also told them that if they needed proof of ownership and right to sell to contact the number of a certain materna in New York they thanked me profusely and praise the Lord Jesus for mrs. banks generosity this would be the most expensive item in their sales history everyone knew no one could afford to buy the set outright but everyone would love to buy the pieces piecemeal like I got a cup and saucer or I got one of the charges I got an eggcup the banks were supposed to work the sale the second day and I wasn't there what I did hear was that my foster mom went ballistic when she saw her China set for sale and that it was a huge hit and ladies from all over the county had bought pieces of it and it raised so much money for the church my foster mom threw a tantrum and said that I had stolen the set from her house the ladies at the church explained that I have made the donation in her name and she was getting credit for the donation to the church my foster mom was practically yanking her hair out according to what I heard later she was trying to track down who had bought pieces and trying to get them back of course she was unsuccessful what she was successful in was looking like a grade-a doubt she bagged the entire church thought she was selfish and materialistic and acting very ungodly especially the way she cursed her foster daughter a week later my foster parents received a package by registered mail from me and my attorney it contained my binder where I showed my bank statements and also a list of all their spending extravagances it also contained a warning from my attorney that should they ever try to contact me again for money that they will receive a bill and a court date that was that ten years later I work as as a third grade teacher I'm married to an account and we have a three-year-old son and one-year-old daughter Kitty ended up working through college and as we've got Mulder we've reconnected she apologized for the way she acted when we were kids we are friends now and see each other multiple times a year often just for lunch she's an elementary school teacher too and married to an engineer she has a four-year-old daughter both of our older kids play together when our families meet we both have our own wedding China she has gone to a lot of therapy due to her toxic parents she tells me as for her parents they still live in their small town because they are too broke to move their reputation is of being that couple who drove both their children away and stole money from that poor little girl whose parents died and they tried to steal money from Jesus when they whined about getting their the rock China back I hope your Volvo was worth it a-holes backstory I'm sorry it's long but some context is needed when I was about 9 to 10 my parents got a separation later a divorce where my dad forced my mom to sell my childhood home and my mom got main custody with my dad having us they had me and my 4 years younger sister over every other weekend plus every other holiday he moved out only to immediately move in with a stepmonster and her three kids the youngest was 2 years younger than me and her boy the middle a year older than me and female and him not sure about the older stage but she was also female I never interacted much with her in an ideal world thus four kids would have gotten the long great played together and whatnot or at least ignored the existence of the others sadly it's not an ideal world in that didn't happen my sister got along with them just fine I didn't maybe it was my then still undiagnosed Asperger's syndrome maybe it was me not instantly going yay new family but the step siblings didn't like me they started bullying me and my little sister joined in cause she adored her new snip family and she was just seven at the time over the first six months the bullying got worse and worse until I broke and tried to call home and get picked up at which point my dad decided to start confiscating my phone as the first thing he did when picking us up the bullying escalated even more there was nothing I could do the stepmonster defended her precious demence calling me a liar and saying things like my kids said they didn't whatever they did or said to hurt me that day or she's just lying for attention during the next year I would try to run away from my dad's place a few more times to go to family they live less than 40 minutes walk away from an aunt and about 1 comma 5 hours from my grandparents then my dad in the stepmonster moved over 2 hours by car away from where my mom lived things got so bad that I dreaded going to see my dad sitting at every dinner the only time I would see my dad at that point between pick up and drop off listening to my dad calling my mom a fat greedy Pig and other evil things hurt had 12 to 13 I was suicidal and none since I would only see the stepmonster mostly when she told me to get the heck out and play or something just get out of the house I tried telling her that I wanted to die that I didn't want to keep living like this anymore a response I don't care get the F asterisk ck outside already if you're going to kill yourself do it outside not long after that I had a meltdown at school crying for hours and unleashing the whole nasty tail on to them since my school was a good one that teacher contacted CPS who talked with me ran some tests and sent me to a psychologist at some point they contacted my dad with their concerns for my mental and emotional welding my dad dealt with it by calling me saying since you feel the need to lie like that you shouldn't come visit anymore stay with your mom I don't care that was my last conversation with him although I heard a lot about him and the stepmonster from my sister now for my revenge 10 years or so later I get a phone call from my dad's sister about him passing car accident and funeral I went and I met the stepmonster again obviously widowed now and my half-brother for the first time during the funeral and following wake she proceeds to insult me my mom and the rest of dad's family then she starts complaining about how his name is on everything they had together and how is she going to keep the house it was paid down the taxes and whatnot now she never worked a day in her life and such thing which is when my revenge comes to play see in my country the children of the deceased have a right to claim a minimum of one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars each if there is that much money or value and good left behind and there is no will stating otherwise normally this claim comes after the deceased spouse also dies or when they try to sell the property worth of money whichever comes first normally see legally the children can claim it at any time they just don't cause decency and pity for the widow too bad I hate her guts and both the youngest step sightings as it so happens my dad in the stepmonster own summer would winning show dogs the house and land and the car the stepmonster also got some insurance money plus she will get a sum of about 60% of what my dad would earn if he was still alive every month if my dad had a will she could have kept all of that for herself or my half-brother he didn't and by that time my sister also hated her guts so I talked to her and did the only thing I could think of we took her to court to claim our inheritance sure we got many looks of discus and mutters of greed in us but in the end we won and I got my share of the money my sister got hers and her half-brother God is locked in a trust fund for when he turns 18 this meant that the house dogs and car had to be sold the insurance money also got split so us kids each got around one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars each in a trust fund for my half-brother as for the stepmonster she got around one thousand dollars in the monthly sum of around three thousand hundred dollars she was livid started screaming venomous SH asterisk t saying I should have killed myself when I was considering and how is she going to live now she have no house and how dare you forced me to sell Grimer obviously fake name for my half-brother s childhood home and calling me a B asterisk t CH and other such things the judge had to threaten her with contempt of court and get her escorted out before she stopped edit one removed the acronym I used four stepmonster and thanks for the support three edit - someone asked about her reaction so I added that edit three grammatical errors and holy shit that's a lot of comments and up votes thanks again you lovely lovely people equals D edit for some people have been commenting on the currency I've used in the post I use dollars cause that's what most readers would understand the actual sum we got was closer to 1 million each in our currency also the dogs and questions got good homes and was not family dogs kept at home plus the stepmonster did have the option to buy us kids out and kept them this didn't happen to me but it did to my grandmother and it is one of the best stories I have ever heard in my entire life also English isn't my first language so sorry for any spelling mistakes my grandmother grew up on a huge farm outside of a small town in Sweden she is the second oldest out of seven kids four boys and three girls their parents were very respected in their community because of their farm and their products that they sold to the stores in the town however they were horrible to their kids and basically treated them like garbage they were basically a smashing tit LED parents and are / ray said buiness assists and my grandmother told me stories about some of the things they did that almost made me cry the dad my great grandfather beat his sons this really effed all of them up but especially the oldest of them who ended up being as horrible as his father their mother on the other hand was just as bad at time she refused to feed her kids because she thought they were too fat and basically kept her daughters locked up on their farm so they could be as pure as possible so that they could be married off down the road the only times they ever really left their house was for school my grandmother was pulled out of school when she was 13 years old to have her work and basically act as a mother over the rest of her siblings or when they went out with either one of their parents or one of their brothers because they were seen as the golden boys they couldn't do any wrong the kids couldn't really tell anyone about what was happening as no one would believe them because of their parents high status and social ties to the town but despite her living situation my grandmother kept her head high as she was growing up she is a strongest woman I know because so many of us siblings had the same resentment against their parents they would try to help each other as much as they can and still try to find fun things to do when my grandmother was 17 one of her younger brothers helped her out of the house and to the next town where they occasionally hosted a dancing night and there she just happened to meet the love of her life my grandfather according to my grandmother they danced the entire night and that it was one of the best nights of her life they continued to meet in secret as her parents would never approve of my grandfather because he was a lower class than my grandmother's family my grandmother knew this very well but she wasn't having any of it along with her siblings excluding eldest brother she planned out exactly what she was going to do to get away now her mother owned this ridiculously expensive crystal duck we are talking insanely expensive for this time period grandma arranged to be picked in the middle of the night she was picked up by my grandfather's friend who owned the car and she just left but before she did that she took the crystal duck with her this was her petty revenge to her parents in the previous post I said that my grandmother signed over her shares of the farm to her sister turns out this wasn't the case my grandmother's sister signed over her share to my grandma and so did the rest of the siblings excluding the oldest son this was done outside of their parents and eldest sons knowledge with my grandfather she moved a few towns over use the duck to get a loan at a bank where she used the money to buy a small apartment where she and my grandfather lived and then waited my grandfather was drafted for the army and was gone for almost three years and during those three years my grandmother went to medical school and became a nurse shortly after at the local hospital then one day she hears the news her parents are trying to sell the farm after my grandma left more of their kids decided to leave their parents - and after a few years they didn't have any money left and needed to sell their land so my grandmother decides to talk to her parents after several years of not speaking to each other at all my grandma takes her shares to the farm which exceeds her parents and her brothers she also takes her savings she is the best person when it comes to saving and is able to save as much as she can and she buys out her parents and brothers shares making her the sole owner of the farm and the land it sat on she tells her parents that they must leave her land and find somewhere else to live she then reassess the shares back to her siblings excluding her older brother due to things he did in the past and one of her younger brothers didn't want his shares back because he didn't want anything to do with the family between the leftover siblings they decide that the youngest sister would get to live on the farm as she was the only married one and she was pregnant my Grandma and Grandpa moved back to her original town they got married and shortly after they had my dad to this day none of the siblings know what happened to the crystal duck and Oh God the arguments they have had about it over the years and the slight grin that would always form on my grandmother's face whenever someone mentioned it is priceless my grandma didn't talk to her parents again after that she didn't know where they lived or what they did after they moved out of the farm her mother tried to reach out to her when her dad died but she didn't care and later found out that her mom died a few years later she didn't attend any of their funerals she did find out where they are buried mostly so she'd know where not to be buried we have all been told by her vas if they bury me at graveyard named I'm coming back to haunt all of you my grandma and grandpa were married 56 years before my grandfather passed away and every year on their anniversary they went back to where they first met where they still host monthly dances to dance thank you so much for watching the
