Karma has arrived

Many years ago my dad died and left his estate to his girlfriend of about 18 months. There were many signs that he might have been affected in his decision by the brain tumour he had been suffering from.
Although we contested, the wicked stepmother as we have called her got almost everything.
My sister was allowed to collect her belongings from the house as she was 12 but I, as an adult (I was 18) was not allowed to collect my stuff. She argued it wasn't mine. Not sure what a balding man would have done with say my curling tongs but that is in the past.
The funeral was awful. We were largely ignored in the eulogy. Many, many hurtful things were done to us at a time when we were already grieving.
Anyway our darling mum did a great job and my dsis and I have turned out ok, have good jobs, loving relationships. We have had to work hard and earn absolutely everything.
Things have been extremely hard at points and it felt very unfair to see wicked step mum and her children (not related to my dad at all) benefit from his estate or sell his things that we would have treasured just to have something of his.
A friend found our childhood photos in a skip outside what had been our family home and managed to retrieve them. I would have like my dad's jumper. Nothing else expensive just something of his.
Anyway fast forward and it is has come out that step mum has had no joy out of the money. Her children have tried to fleece her of all the money.
It was in the papers that one chills had beaten his mum and stolen from her.
One daughter has an only fans page and sells herself on the internet.
The other has been in court for dealing drugs and possessing firearms.
Ah karma, you took a while but you crept up on them.
I feel nasty for getting some satisfaction from their misfortunes but they really did bring it all on themselves. Whereas my sibling and I were dealt shitty cards and made the most of it.
Has anyone got a good karma story?

Exh spent years trying to turn dc against me. Sadly resulted in him treating the dc badly which they kept from me. When they reached 12 and 14 they went nc with him. They have turned out amazingly considering his crusade... He lives alone and due to bad choices is disabled and more or less housebound..

AnneLovesGilbert · 24/06/2022 13:08

How did her children bring anything on themselves? I can’t see how any of what you and your sister went through was their fault.

How she behaved towards you was clearly awful but I can’t imagine ever being happy at a woman being beaten by anyone, never mind her own child. That’s pretty distasteful.

You’re right to feel your reaction is very nasty.

ItisallPooh · 24/06/2022 13:19

Her children were horrible bullies towards my sister and I. Took huge pleasure in being extremely mean to us. Followed me through our town, throwing things at me. Told lies about my sister at school to humiliate her. Offered to meet us to give us our things but turned up and had clearly left our things out in the garage. Everything was mouldy and wet and they laughed as we clearly couldn't salvage a thing.
One was older than me. All we're older than my sister. Yes they were just kids but I am certain they knew exactly what they were doing. And were just being nasty for nasty sake.
I frankly don't care if you think I am nasty. I did nothing to these people and they went out of their way to be horrible. They have absolutely got what they deserved.
You can take the moral high horse and look down on me. I'm very glad that you have never had to be in the situation we found ourselves in.

@ItisallPooh reading your second posting about how the kids behaved towards you I would be smiling quietly inside and saying thankyou to the Karma Fairy.
I do enjoy a little schadenfreude with my afternoon tea and biscuits 😋 😉

Carrieonmywaywardsun · 24/06/2022 13:50

I don't see what the one woman having only fans has to do with anything, but glad wicked step mum didn't benefit from her cruelty

AnneLovesGilbert · 24/06/2022 14:01

None of that was in your OP. And you’re the one who said you knew you were being nasty…

Your first post was about how awful your SM was and how one of the reasons you’re so pleased is because she got physically attacked by a man. Stand by that if you want to but it’s not okay.

Oopsydaisynotagain · 24/06/2022 14:04

Agree that she deserves bad karma but don't agree with you using the fact that her daughter has an OnlyFans account and "sells herself on the internet" as an insult. That is just a nasty thing to say.

Keepyoursarcasmtoyourself · 24/06/2022 14:07

Need a bath after reading this.

absolutlynot · 24/06/2022 14:11

Love Karma ! glad you got it ! still waiting for mine

MumbleAlwaysMumble · 24/06/2022 14:15

No karma story from me. I don’t really have one to share.

But I’d say that one woman had a specific attitude towards and peope and money that she taught to her dcs. And in return, they acted that way towards you and then their mum.

Its a shame but if you dint teach children to be respectful towards others, they are not going to respect you either

MumbleAlwaysMumble · 24/06/2022 14:16

They might well have no respect towards themselves either.

Sapphirensteel · 24/06/2022 14:18

I’d thank the Karma fairy and move on with your happy life. I had weekly shit thrown at me husband’s ex—- no idea if she’s happy or not and I care even less.

frazzledasarock · 24/06/2022 14:19

I’ve heard of similar happen to people I know.

The children learned from their mother. And if the mother is going to encourage her children to physically harm smaller weaker people, it’s rather unsurprising when they turn on her when they’re bigger than her. It’s what they’ve been taught.

I’d be secretly amused too.

Mama_bear · 24/06/2022 14:23

I hope karma comes for my stepmother then, like you written out of the eulogy, no
t given any of my father's belongings, photos, anything. She got everything. I don't care about the money or the properties, but just some photos of him as a child, anything really. It feels like asking for scraps but she took it all. It still breaks my heart 5 years later.

Can’t agree more

peachescariad · 24/06/2022 14:36

Karma! Love it - yes I agree they got exactly what they deserved. Oh and as for Only Fans....selling yourself on the internet is exactly what it is.

TheRealHousewife · 24/06/2022 14:47

This post emphasises everything that is wrong in society. Spiteful, vindictive, judgemental & nasty.

I wish there was a dislike button 👎

DinasCopUniform · 24/06/2022 14:55

Oh, I dunno. I try not to be pleased for bad things happening to people. Bad karma 😉

Yes exactly this. Really nasty of you OP.

EscapeTheCastle · 24/06/2022 15:17

I am so glad your friend got the photos out of the skip for you.

I'm with you OP. Those people did you over badly. You have moved on despite the hurt they deliberately caused. Stuff them and their disfunction!

Chooksnroses · 24/06/2022 15:21

I often think about a woman I worked with. Her Mum died, and her Dad waited 3 weeks before moving a prostitute in whom he'd met in the pub. He married her secretly, and his daughter didn't find that out until three months later when he died suddenly. He hadn't updated his will after his wedding, so the "bride" got everything, including the family heirloom jewellery and the insurance money he'd received after his wife's death. She refused to give my colleague anything at all from the house, not even her baby photos, and my colleague couldn't afford to take her to court. I know I wasn't involved, but I really hope karma caught up with that woman as well.

Chooksnroses · 24/06/2022 15:22

rocksonrocks · 24/06/2022 15:07

Yes exactly this. Really nasty of you OP.

Why? Why is that nasty?

Guiltycat · 24/06/2022 15:31

Not sure why people are getting upset over the only fans comment.

Any mother would be ashamed and humiliated to have her daughter on there (or anywhere else in the sex industry) catering to perverts for money. They’d clearly have raised a daughter with no self respect or morals.

Although I know these days some like to pretend it’s just as being a doctor or an actual profession, but the majority of the world still disagrees (apart from the punters and those who do it obviously).

I don't think it's nasty, she deserves it.
