After my dad passed away, I was shocked to discover that my stepmother had no intention of returning to work, despite my father's financial struggles. She continued to splurge on luxury items, including designer clothes and homewares, while my dad worked tirelessly to make ends meet. As the years went by, I watched him become increasingly worn out, and it filled me with anger and frustration. I eventually made the tough decision to cut ties with my stepmother, citing financial responsibility and emotional exhaustion. This experience taught me the importance of financial independence and setting boundaries. Relevant topics include financial literacy, family dynamics, and emotional well-being.
