Karma has arrived

[ItisallPooh]

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?

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.

Ah yes, we're all feminists until sex work is on the table. And even then, it's still a woman's fault for producing such a daughter.

You sound vile.

Well this is cheery 😬

Not vile at all!

A personal choice that should be tolerated at worst and respected at best by all other competent adults?

In regards the Only Fans part... no judgement here. People are free to do whatever they want, for whatever reasons. Fair play to them, as long as they're in control and happy with the situation. But isn't the poster who called it selling themselves on the internet correct? That's what they're doing. They've signed up to make money, and they're using their bodies to make it. So I don't really see the big deal about describing it that way.

"One daughter has an only fans page and sells herself on the internet."

What a horrible, judgmental thing to say. Maybe karma pre-empted that

Vile? For raising my daughters to expect better from this life and value themselves?

Call me names if it makes you feel better. Doesn’t bother me and I stand by what I say. Feminism is NOT about applauding women selling their own bodies, because it affects all women, not just them. Look at what happens in those legalised red light areas. Horrific verbal abuse and attacks on women, even school girls, from entitled perverts who have been given the green light that women in that vicinity are dehumanised and for sale.

The majority of decent parents would be horrified if their daughter/son felt their only way to be of worth was to enter the horrifically exploitative sex industry.

Only fans has an added level danger to it. Images on the internet, once there are forever. Not just by paying customers either, there are entire Reddit forums dedicated to stealing and replicating these images for free. Even if one day the people on only fans want to get back to normal work, have a family etc. those pictures may probably surface at some point, and will haunt them for life.

I can’t imagine what any child of theirs would go through at school if their classmates ever found them and recognised the mother or father. (Yes, porn is viewed at school and is becoming an issue).

Nah. Keep your modern ‘feminism’.

I'd hate it if my soon to be 18 year old launched an Only Fans page 🙋🏼‍♀️ Ugh no 😑

Sorry but you sound a bit horrible. Those children even though not children now sound like they are messed up and I cant imagine gloating about anyone like that.

Ah, there will always be people who pick holes in what you've said and tell you that you're the nasty one OP, don't worry about it. MN at it's not-so finest.

It is fine. Maybe I do sound judgmental. I certainly wouldn't be impressed if Only fans was at the high school jobs fair as potential future careers? But that might just be me.
I'm human. If every poster who called me vile can say with honesty that in my position they would just be full of empathy for these poor souls who had made an already terrible situation even worse for my sister and I then I commend them.
I have not got a vendetta against them or anything. I have just got on with my life but I have next to nothing of my dad to show my kids.
These people were absolute horrific bullies and very cruel. The "children" were 19, 18 and 16 at the time so not young kids.
Their mother was the epitome of an evil step mother. Though I'm not sure she could constitute that as it was a very short relationship and my dad did not marry her.
Anyway, I will get on with my life and be satisfied that Mumsnet can be weird. People portray things on here that I don't think they would stand by in real life. But there's nowt as queer as folk.

Ignore half the posts here Op, your reaction is the norm in the real world. Good for you!

Aye, karma's a bitch. Love to hear stories like this.

It was all your dad's fault in the first place. He should have left money to you, his Dc, in his will, not to a new girlfriend. Shows terrible judgement and lack of thought.

Oh really?

That is so sad that happened to you but glad you've found solace.
My mum died a while ago and always saved and did well with money, she had a good job and decent pension. Unfortunately my step dad wasn't so good, and we think he's squandered her hard earned money on his kids and himself (drinker) but there's nothing we can do either as they were meant to do right by the kids of the person who died first. Solicitor was a total araehole and she was hiding information, gas lighting and actually lying toy brother and I - my poor mum had to put up with him pissing his money up the wall, cheating on her and he then screwed her kids over

Whilst I feel your story is sad and you were dealt a shitty set of cards, your wicked stepmother comments are not good and don’t help me empathise with you.
As a wife who’s struggled with both the children and ex wife of my husband there is little support on here for us.
Your situation was tough but not because she was a stepmother but because she wasn’t a good person.

when someone hurts you badly it's easy enough to want karma like the original poster and hard to understand from an outsider's point of view as they were not the ones being hurt. I don't like to call it karma but my first husband from day one was a cheater who left and returned more times than I can remember plus beat the crap out of me more times than I can remember. In later times it escalated to humiliation like urinating on me all fueled by alcohol. I found out a few years ago that his alcoholism had taken its toll and he had died before even making it to his 60s.

I don’t get this. Bad things happened to you, you say? Wasn’t that YOUR karma for something YOU had done wrong?

if you believe in bollocks like karma, it has to work both ways.

Good job OP - pleased for you after what you you went through.

Lol at people trying to pretend any parent would be proud for their daughter to be on Only Fans.
Sorry they were cunts OP.

I understand your feeling, but I don't believe in karma.

Bad things happen to good people all the time.

Bad people get away doing bad stuff all the time.

In your case they good their comeuppance, which is good. But that's just life.

Me too!

My DF cheated on DM and eventually married OW and had a family with her. OW did not like the way his first family spoke to her so he stopped seeing them. They had a stormy marriage and split many times over the years. She was often left to do all childcare and work full time to support their family as he retired early from his job to focus on renovating their home sleeping till 2pm and seeing his friends. She eventually left him for someone else and now lives with the OM. Turns out she also cheated through the years with most of his friends so he no longer has any friends. She stayed in the family home after they split until the children turned 18. When they did he demanded she sell the house and it turns out she had re-mortgaged it over the years (we assume the boyfriend signed paperwork as DF didn't) and sold all the belongings and furniture inside it. He was too lazy to never took his name off the council tax or bills so in the last few years of living there she barely paid anything and left him with court enforcement officer's chasing him. She also then took him to court and claimed a portion of his pension each month. He now lives with his elderly mother, his children from both marriages have nothing to do with him and, after he pays each month what he owes in debts and her portion of his pension he is left with a pittance.

He seems to have realised what he has done in life and has made comment about it but at the same time does nothing to rectify anything.

I can understand you've been very hurt. But this is just awful to read. Let it go of the past and concentrate on now, as you say you did well. If you really believe in karma, then the spiteful thought on others may have karma coming around to you too.
