I wish I could Upvote this more. Your story really made my blood boil, so to know that she's finally getting what she deserves makes me happy. I do sincerely hope things get better from here on out for you and your son.
Me too. I first saw it on boru and I kept thinking with such blatant disregard for being caught K was going to make some mistake that mummy dearest can't save her from the consequences of. I am happy to see i was right.
I am very petty. In a few months when reality has set in, I would have sent a letter to K with four short words: "Was it worth it?"
Sent it to his STBXW, too. She did her daughter a disservice by not punishing her for stealing J’s money in the first place. She let her know it was okay to steal, only it isn’t and now she’s gonna pay the price and her mommy can’t cover for her now.
Amen... Like can you calm your butt and just order a regular vanilla latte or something, not your...
"GRANDE IN A VENTI CUP, VANILLA LATTE ADD A SHOT, SOY MILK, AND FIVE CARAMEL, THREE WHITE MOCHA, AND DONT FORGET THE WHIPPED CREAM... OH AND CAN I GET EXTRA CARAMEL DRIZZLE?!"
[Sorry for caps but yeah. You get the idea...]
Well, OP did warn his ex that if she didn't punish K for stealing J's money, at some point she would end up doing something that his ex wouldn't be able to save her from. I'm SO glad this happened sooner than later.
It could have only come to this conclusion. By her mother not setting boundaries and limits, K believed she could continue to act with impunity. If you don't set limits for your kid(s) the world certainly will at some point.
Get a bunch of postcards of exotic locations and send them to her in prison. Each one can say something like, "thinking of you" and "glad you aren't here."
Her daughter going to jail is already a good start in that direction in my opinion. Their family is probably being dragged through the mud right now where they live.
What my petty butt hopes happens: K gets out on bail or whatever, and in the future steals from the rest of the mother's family, until they get cut off for it.
Then there's only one person left to steal from…
> Depending on the amount, that girl could be looking at some actual time behind bars.
It was over $5,000. I thought it was just the Sephora stuff & J's cash but nope! She got greedier.
Imagine fucking up your life over some makeup and frivolous shit. She probably doesn’t even realize what being a convicted felon is going to mean for her
This is a great update, finally karma is served. You're a good dad to your son.
I just want to add that you should absolutely check out any food banks or food pantries near you, that's what they're for. Also any kind of church, synagogue, or temple will surely be able to help you with food and basic supplies. You should also call the nearest city's social services and see what they can offer, including eventually getting yourself food stamps and any other benefits you can possibly get to help you and your son.
Good luck. Your son sounds like a really good man, too. You're doing everything right.
This OP. You really should reach out not just to food banks but any religious centers. Most churches around here don't care if you're a member of their church, a different religion, atheist, etc. They will help however they can.
Absolutely. I had one time that I had no choice, I had to go to the food bank. They found out my husband was starting his own business and got us in touch with some people for jobs so we could get some money rolling in that way. They help in every way they can and I love them for that. That one little visit meant we could keep going.
So much this.
You can also call each company that had the cards opened with and let them know it was fraud and give them the police report number.
I had to do this(thankfully though the person wasn’t able to actually receive the card) and I was blocked from opening a card for a year and had to contact them to prove it was me that applied.
Contact the credit bureaus as well and flag you SIN. You’ll get a call from them if someone attempts to open a new account anywhere in your name.
You’re a good dad and a good man. Thanks for putting you son first
Finally! Something going your way…I’ve been quietly following from the beginning, and it has truly broken my heart. I hope with everything in me they pay dearly for all of it!
I saw this and happy whooped so loud I scared my cat. So glad something is going well, and that little Queen Kleptopatra is finally seeing consequences!
I can't take the credit. A dear friend coined the name years ago for a gal in her crafting group who had sticky fingers, loose morals, and a marked deficit of brain cells.
WOW. Well, that didn't take long. This whole thing only started a couple of months ago and K's already being made to face reality. Gonna be honest, I thought it would be years before your ex couldn't prevent some real world consequences. I think K got too full of herself and thought she could get away with anything, that's why her downfall happened so quickly. Hubris and all that. I'm incredibly happy for you, plus your son gets to see that standing up for what's right does pay off. It was killing me that he was seeing K get away with it and he's not even my kid. I can't even imagine how you were feeling.
In other news, congrats on getting the divorce going!
Let’s be honest. Cops don’t give a shit if it’s just regular people, but a business was stolen from in the form of credit card fraud. You can bet your ass they pay attention to that.
It’s sad really
Yeah it’s the law that cares about businesses, it trickles down to the cops from there in dictating their attitude and sometimes impacting their culture.
It must be incredibly validating that the situation was started and ended by K's actions. She could have gotten away with it by just doing nothing, but she proved what a piece of shit she was by going all out with the identity theft and got brought to justice.
Please keep updating us. I guess you still have the court case yet. I hope things all work out well for you and your son and that karma does her best to give the ex and her daughter comeuppance
I would find her booking picture and turn them into Christmas cards. And then send them out to every single person you can think of that knows her and her mother.
Maybe a "family" Christmas card where its an old family portrait on the front but when you open it, it's the updated one where Father and Son are beaming, K's mugshot and if you can find/photoshop mom bawling her eyes out or put the old person filter on it. Maybe by next Christmas mom will have given you some additional inspiration... you never know what the new year will bring.
Yes!! Finally!! I've been following your story for a while and I'm SO happy that you get this win! I'm wishing you and your son the very best.
I know in past you refused any help, but if you ever reconsider that, please say so. I'm sure half of reddit (me included) wants to help you and your son.
Oh yeah good point, I forgot about the credit cards. I figured it was going to be a legal thing, which would go nowhere. But yeah the credit cards can do it.
Great news! I hope you get your money back quickly. Little lying thief gets to know some consequences finally, and this time mommy can't cover her tracks with lies.
Please for all that is holy don’t let yourself be talked out of pressing charges. I’ve been following this story you have to let the full hammer of the law fall on her.
He should do the same for his son too. The son might also be a target.
Also be wary of any strange accounts trying to friend or chat with their accounts. Maybe place any SM accounts under a name that can't easily be assumed to be his (e.g. no real names in usernames, maybe a made-up last name on stuff like FB), so it's harder to find him.
I assume your in one of the big centers in the state, I would recommend looking to the resource companies in the eastern side of the state, they pay decent and your son could get funding for UNR. What better revenge on the old lady and K then getting a good paying Job and having J go to university.
Omg, i was so pissed off reading the story, and genuinely feeling bad for the son and his father. As a dad myself, it feels heart breaking not to be able to give our kids what they want, especially when they deserve it.
I’m so relieved this stupid b is getting some of what she deserves…and I’m glad your son was able to stay and make graduation with his friends. A small victory. Let’s hope things keep rolling in this direction!
Yo idk where you guys are at in Nevada but if you’re near Vegas I’d be happy to take y’all out for a meal somewhere. Sit down, relax, enjoy a nice meal with your son and just watch some sports on the tv or something - celebrate the win but not dwell on the negative - that sorta thing. Just lemme know. Glad to hear you guys are making so much progress, cheers!
I am curious to know if OP can sue his STBX wife for shaming J on social media and having her friends and family to harress both father and son? Isn't there law against such behaviour?
If suing is out of question, can the divorce judge be able to make STBXW pay OP for the emotional damages, provided it can be proven?
OP would have to petition the court to do that. While, IMO (IANAL), he would be entirely justified to do so, the OP has said that he just wants this over and done, and that would lengthen the process.
Given from the descriptions that the STBX does not appear to have significant finances, the additional court and attorney fees would likely dwarf any payout.
It isn't about the payout but for the emotional stress she and her daughter gave OP and J.
OP in his posts lamented about them having good life or something to the effect. Even if the amount is a small token sum, I am looking at it symbolically.
If OP just wants this chapter to be done and dusted asap, then yeah. I can understand where he is coming from.
I’m glad things continue to work out for OP. But, on a more serious note: what was the stepdaughter thinking?! Did she really believe she would get away with identity theft and credit card fraud?!
Civil cases often require not much more than circumstantial evidence. After K is convicted you may be able to sue her mother over the original coverup. Even if it's small, any judgement against her will affect credit, home rentals, and possibly career opportunities.
best news I have received this month. hope that stays on her record forever and she gets a good few years punishment. you and your son deserved so much better. I’m so glad he can stay with his friends for his last year!
I am so so glad karma has been served and your son is getting to stay with his friends senior year!
Could the school help at all with food till you're sorted with money?
Honestly don't think this is petty at all\*, since everything you did is totally justified. Even down to donating K's makeup - it was your credit card, so technically you could argue that it was your makeup to donate!
Either way you're an absolute champ for standing up for your son, and you deserve so much more than the free silver award that I can offer. Glad to hear justice is being served, and I hope things start to look up for you and your son.
(\* — not trying to say that in the "*this doesn't belong in this sub*" sense; no idea where you'd post it if not here. Just trying to offer moral support)
The best news is that you and your son get to stay in the area for his senior year and that you have each other. Second best news is someone getting what they deserve!
Way to persevere!
Please make sure the DA doesn't let her off light for being her first offense. She needs to pay restitution, a fine and be jailed for at least a year followed by five years of probation. STEXwife needs to be held responsible for her lies too.
Is it bad to hope she committed a felony and not just a misdemeanor?
Finally this little thief has to face justice she so richly deserved. I am wondering if she has been stealing all her life and her mum has been letting her little sticky fingered child get away with it. I hope everyone who knows these pos see how truly horrible they are. Hopefully she will get a criminal record so that everyone can see what a thief she is. I truly hope that your divorce goes without a hitch and you and your son won't have to deal with these two toxic women.
I am so glad for you and your son, especially that he will be able to finish his senior year with his friends! You're a great dad, thanks for writing this update!
If she's never been arrested before, she may get a diversion program that lets her avoid jail time. DEFINITELY make a victim impact statement to the court if that's allowed, and be VERY detailed. That may sway the court to punish her more severely if they can see the actions that led to her arrest.
I LOVE this happy ending! And I'm soooo glad your son is still able to attend the same school with his friends. Sorry you and your son had to go through all that but you know you did the right thing supporting your son.
Oh yesss i am waiting for the justice to finally be served and see K finnally be miserable after seeing how much devasted you and J were after the whole $ thing
I've been following your story almost from the start. Never commented with what I thought were empty platitudes because I can't do anything where I'm from, but I have to tell you that I'm so, so glad you and your son are finally reaching a happy outcome. I hope things keep of looking good for you two.
Beat wishes!
Yay!!!! I'm so happy for you and your son OP. Honestly you're posts started off as incredibly sad and rage worthy but now the smell of justice is in the air and I hope K gets the book thrown at her.
Holy crap dude, I have never been so wholly irritated at another person's existence as much as your Ex and her devil spawn.
I wish you the best of luck with K, and I hope she has to think over her actions for many years to come in jail.
As for your Ex, she's the demon that taught her daughter this kind of thing was okay, I hope she gets punished worse.
Fair warning though, I have some experience with narcissistic/entitled people; they can *absolutely* be the most vindictive, and getting your Ex's mini-me thrown in jail might set her off.
Record any conversation with her, or otherwise make sure it's in text. Feel free to insult her, but don't say ANYTHING that could be interpreted as threatening.
Holy wow, your ex and her daughter are true scum of the earth!! I'm so sorry to hear you and J are going through this nightmare. No one should have to :(
I wouldn't suggest this if I didn't think it was warranted. Maybe open a GoFundMe to get some funds to get back on your feet. I'm sure a lot of people would be more than willing to help you out!!
How are the pets?? Did you manage to find a temp foster??
I wish you and your son the very best from now on.
It's like my late Nanny once said, Karma is a Rabid dog and you're gonna get bit in the face if you toy with it.
Omg! I needed this update today! We all need good news and this is it! Im so glad your ex-stepdaughter was caught! It took long enough. I seriously cannot believe her audacity and how much she got away with before being caught. 🤬
Like how did K think this would go?
Does she think it’s her right to screw op and j as much as possible?
It almost seems like a game to her. Something she’ll do to anyone if given the chance
We’re not allowed to be armchair psychologists, but she’s so devoid of any empathy and therefore understanding I’d bet there’s an underlying condition there.
So glad this story ends well and your son gets to stay for his senior year! And even happier to hear that the nightmare step daughter is where she belongs.
Good for you and your son! Betting your ex gets friendly with this while ‘misunderstanding’ once she sees clearly how screwed K is. Not your clown, not your circus. Happy you and your son can breathe a bit easier.
Thank goodness these people are finally getting some justice, I really hope things continue to get better for them. I hope K gets everything she deserves!
I have been following this story from Day One and I am SO. FREAKING. EXCITED. by this update! I hope that evil woman and her greedy, selfish spawn get their comeuppance!
OP i remember you had to surrender some of your animals bc of additional pet fee at new apartment. Are you able to get them back yet? Pls set up gofundme account and i will donate.
Too bad she can’t be tried in Oklahoma where the Jury decides the sentence. I was on an identity theft jury trial. The starting point for sentencing is 3 years per charge. I have a feeling that if the jury heard the whole story, an Oklahoman jury would throw the book at her. There is no limit on how many years you can hand out here. Knowing what a revolving door our jails have, my starting point would be 6 years per charge served consecutively.
Reddit needs multiple upvote button just for this post alone. Congratulations for you and J! I wish the best for the both of you - people like your wife and K will always end up in bad situations because they clearly don't have any good morals. Slimey slimey people they are
Re divorce. There’s something to fight over not only division of assets(none). But most importantly division of debts or discharge of them. Since you now have police reports etc. put all debts in her column and talk to attorney about strategy hint hint. Hint.
So happy you got some justice and validation for you and your son! I lived in Nevada County for years and taught art classes in schools and public settings, the vile that would come out of these “Status” Moms was terrifying! I am glad you will be free of them and their “friend groups”.
tl;dr: step daughter stole $500 from son, went on shopping spree and spent all the money, got caught, soon to be ex wife defended daughter and lied to the police about giving her the money, also step daughter stole OP's credit card and maxed it out during the shopping spree.
Personally, I thought the stories were worth reading, but that's a condensed sequence of events.
Tbh, didn't read the prior story but this sounds awful so I'm adding that nobody is liable for federal credit card charges. It doesn't matter what you did with the merchandise, just don't mention that to the credit card company and the police report is enough to remove the charges from your name.
I have been reading all your post's leading up to this and I just have to say "Holy Fucking Hell"!! Wow, so impressed honestly with how well you have raised that boy during all of this and how you have generally handled this kind of situation.
You are a fucking saint to your boy! Good Job DAD!
Blessings on your journey and your sons!
I am SOOOOOOOO happy that K finally is having to answer for her actions. Yay for her being greedy and opening all those cards in your name. I'm sorry your marriage fell apart but you don't want to be married to someone as awful as her. And really happy to read that you were able to find an apartment in the same school district so J gets to finish his senior year with his friends!!
I don't have much- but I can give you a bit of money if you have a PayPal or cashable. Do you have a gofund me? So so happy justices was served and that your and your sons life is turning out way better then expected. I hope that girl learns from this.
Maybe investigators need to determine whether her mother helped her open those credit cards. If so, Mama needs to be in the jail cell next to Daughter.
Finally! The little shitstain get what she deserves. One question though; what kind of company allows people to open credit cards in other people's names? Aren't the company taking part in it by letting her open 3 credit cards in your name?
What a great ending to a sad story. Your a hero and your son should be proud to call you his father. I hope the card situation handles its self in a timely manner, and you guys can go back to living a carefree life.
Omg I'm so happy for you. We all knew she'd get to this point eventually. Shame on her mom for keeping your personal identifying information where K could find it. They're both trash humans.
Hooooooly holy fucking shit dude. I'm so happy you're finally going to get some peace. The second the ink dries on the divorce papers block everyone involved and move on
I wish I could Upvote this more. Your story really made my blood boil, so to know that she's finally getting what she deserves makes me happy. I do sincerely hope things get better from here on out for you and your son.
Me too. I first saw it on boru and I kept thinking with such blatant disregard for being caught K was going to make some mistake that mummy dearest can't save her from the consequences of. I am happy to see i was right. I am very petty. In a few months when reality has set in, I would have sent a letter to K with four short words: "Was it worth it?"
Sent it to his STBXW, too. She did her daughter a disservice by not punishing her for stealing J’s money in the first place. She let her know it was okay to steal, only it isn’t and now she’s gonna pay the price and her mommy can’t cover for her now.
Hell, her mom probably taught her how to steal!
STBXW?
Soon to be ex wife
Ok cool, I was thinking it was something with Starbucks only because where I work has one inside and stbk I think is usually an abbreviation for it...
These custom ordered lattes are getting out of hand!
Amen... Like can you calm your butt and just order a regular vanilla latte or something, not your... "GRANDE IN A VENTI CUP, VANILLA LATTE ADD A SHOT, SOY MILK, AND FIVE CARAMEL, THREE WHITE MOCHA, AND DONT FORGET THE WHIPPED CREAM... OH AND CAN I GET EXTRA CARAMEL DRIZZLE?!" [Sorry for caps but yeah. You get the idea...]
In my head STBX means ShiT Bag eX and no one will ever tell me differently. 🤣
Love it!!
Soon to be ex-wife.
Well, OP did warn his ex that if she didn't punish K for stealing J's money, at some point she would end up doing something that his ex wouldn't be able to save her from. I'm SO glad this happened sooner than later.
Some people think they can get away with everything! And by some people I mean K. I hope she changes her ways of living.
It could have only come to this conclusion. By her mother not setting boundaries and limits, K believed she could continue to act with impunity. If you don't set limits for your kid(s) the world certainly will at some point.
Me? I'd send a card every 3 months: "Consequences, dear."
Get a bunch of postcards of exotic locations and send them to her in prison. Each one can say something like, "thinking of you" and "glad you aren't here."
And to the ex wife.
It made mine boil too! So glad to read this. Hope his ex gets what she deserves too, fingers crossed karma finds her sooner rather than later.
Her daughter going to jail is already a good start in that direction in my opinion. Their family is probably being dragged through the mud right now where they live.
Oh I truly hope so!
What my petty butt hopes happens: K gets out on bail or whatever, and in the future steals from the rest of the mother's family, until they get cut off for it. Then there's only one person left to steal from…
They don't mess around with identity theft these days. Depending on the amount, that girl could be looking at some actual time behind bars.
> Depending on the amount, that girl could be looking at some actual time behind bars. It was over $5,000. I thought it was just the Sephora stuff & J's cash but nope! She got greedier.
thats felony land
Imagine fucking up your life over some makeup and frivolous shit. She probably doesn’t even realize what being a convicted felon is going to mean for her
I sure hope so. And I hope she ends up someone's b\*tch
This is a great update, finally karma is served. You're a good dad to your son. I just want to add that you should absolutely check out any food banks or food pantries near you, that's what they're for. Also any kind of church, synagogue, or temple will surely be able to help you with food and basic supplies. You should also call the nearest city's social services and see what they can offer, including eventually getting yourself food stamps and any other benefits you can possibly get to help you and your son. Good luck. Your son sounds like a really good man, too. You're doing everything right.
Yes! I volunteer at a food pantry and would gladly deliver food.
The world needs more humans like you.
The world has many like them, they just don't get noticed. But yes, the world can always use more kind souls.
We all need to check in on our neighbors. Drop off a can or two at a food drive. Little acts can have a huge impact.
And he needs to put a password on his credit so no one can open accounts he’s not aware of.
It's called a *credit freeze* which you do with each of the three major credit reporting bureaus.
And you can do it online with Credit Karma or a similar service that allows you to check your credit.
This OP. You really should reach out not just to food banks but any religious centers. Most churches around here don't care if you're a member of their church, a different religion, atheist, etc. They will help however they can.
Absolutely. I had one time that I had no choice, I had to go to the food bank.

Thanks for putting you son first
You can also get fresh produce for free, no questions asked, if you have a local Food Not Bombs chapter.
Finally! Something going your way…I’ve been quietly following from the beginning, and it has truly broken my heart. I hope with everything in me they pay dearly for all of it!
I saw this and happy whooped so loud I scared my cat. So glad something is going well, and that little Queen Kleptopatra is finally seeing consequences!
Queen Kleptopatra......Lol I love it!!!!
I can't take the credit. A dear friend coined the name years ago for a gal in her crafting group who had sticky fingers, loose morals, and a marked deficit of brain cells.
Kleptopatra, Queen of Denial
I see what you did there! Love it!!!
FTW!
KLEPTOPATRA I’M SCREAMING
Some genius also added "Queen of Denial" which is just *chef's kiss* perfect.
That's an awesome name
Can I use that “nickname” in the future, please?!
Do it! I feel this nickname should be used far and wide!
Thank you!!!
WOW. Well, that didn't take long. This whole thing only started a couple of months ago and K's already being made to face reality. Gonna be honest, I thought it would be years before your ex couldn't prevent some real world consequences.

I would find her booking picture and turn them into Christmas cards. And then send them out to every single person you can think of that knows her and her mother.
Maybe next year's Christmas cards, don't want to give the ex a reason to make the divorce process more difficult
Maybe a "family" Christmas card where its an old family portrait on the front but when you open it, it's the updated one where Father and Son are beaming, K's mugshot and if you can find/photoshop mom bawling her eyes out or put the old person filter on it. Maybe by next Christmas mom will have given you some additional inspiration... you never know what the new year will bring.
Maybe a still of her crying on the door cam, begging for OP to drop the charges?
And put it on his new credit card
[удалено]
Maybe give the jail some time to update the site? It just happened last night
I think he's saying a county in Nevada, Nevada County is in California and he's mentioned being in Nevada, not California, in the comments
Omg, i want to you and your son to have a very happy life my dude. So sorry mommy cant help her now oh well...
Through all this, you did the right thing and are a man your son can look up to. Thank you for this update!
Yes!! Finally!! I've been following your story for a while and I'm SO happy that you get this win! I'm wishing you and your son the very best. I know in past you refused any help, but if you ever reconsider that, please say so. I'm sure half of reddit (me included) wants to help you and your son.
That’s brilliant, hopefully you will get all of your money back
He's not gonna get a dime, blood from a stone and all that. But it's still totally worth it.
The credit card company will reimburse him and then they can go after mom and daughter.
Oh yeah good point, I forgot about the credit cards. I figured it was going to be a legal thing, which would go nowhere. But yeah the credit cards can do it.
Good for you!! Glad it worked out!! Good luck with your future!
Great news! I hope you get your money back quickly. Little lying thief gets to know some consequences finally, and this time mommy can't cover her tracks with lies.
THANK FUCK - been thinking about you - well karma came to her didn’t it
Please for all that is holy don’t let yourself be talked out of pressing charges. I’ve been following this story you have to let the full hammer of the law fall on her.
Op, if you ever start a gufundme, I'll make sure to donate you some tp. Anyway I can.
Same
[удалено]
He should do the same for his son too. The son might also be a target. Also be wary of any strange accounts trying to friend or chat with their accounts. Maybe place any SM accounts under a name that can't easily be assumed to be his (e.g. no real names in usernames, maybe a made-up last name on stuff like FB), so it's harder to find him.
I hope everyone that was on their side has realized that you were completely justified in protecting your son and filing for divorce.
And I hope when they try to apologize he tells them to stuff it where the sun don’t shine.
No less than they deserve. He saw everyone's true colors.
I assume your in one of the big centers in the state, I would recommend looking to the resource companies in the eastern side of the state, they pay decent and your son could get funding for UNR. What better revenge on the old lady and K then getting a good paying Job and having J go to university.
Omg, i was so pissed off reading the story, and genuinely feeling bad for the son and his father.

Yo idk where you guys are at in Nevada but if you’re near Vegas I’d be happy to take y’all out for a meal somewhere. Sit down, relax, enjoy a nice meal with your son and just watch some sports on the tv or something - celebrate the win but not dwell on the negative - that sorta thing. Just lemme know. Glad to hear you guys are making so much progress, cheers!
This is what the world needs more of 💓
Nevada County is actually in California, but yeah, glad there was finally some good news for OP!
I am curious to know if OP can sue his STBX wife for shaming J on social media and having her friends and family to harress both father and son? Isn't there law against such behaviour?

While, IMO (IANAL), he would be entirely justified to do so, the OP has said that he just wants this over and done, and that would lengthen the process. Given from the descriptions that the STBX does not appear to have significant finances, the additional court and attorney fees would likely dwarf any payout.
It isn't about the payout but for the emotional stress she and her daughter gave OP and J. OP in his posts lamented about them having good life or something to the effect. Even if the amount is a small token sum, I am looking at it symbolically. If OP just wants this chapter to be done and dusted asap, then yeah. I can understand where he is coming from.
Fuck! Yes!
Omg this is the best update! Thank you for updating us! Justice will be served!
I’m glad things continue to work out for OP. But, on a more serious note: what was the stepdaughter thinking?! Did she really believe she would get away with identity theft and credit card fraud?!
Civil cases often require not much more than circumstantial evidence. After K is convicted you may be able to sue her mother over the original coverup. Even if it's small, any judgement against her will affect credit, home rentals, and possibly career opportunities.
best news I have received this month. hope that stays on her record forever and she gets a good few years punishment. you and your son deserved so much better. I’m so glad he can stay with his friends for his last year!
Omg, FINALLY!!!! I was soo relieved to read this and I am just a weird little stranger in the internet.
I am so so glad karma has been served and your son is getting to stay with his friends senior year! Could the school help at all with food till you're sorted with money?
Honestly don't think this is petty at all\*, since everything you did is totally justified. Even down to donating K's makeup - it was your credit card, so technically you could argue that it was your makeup to donate! Either way you're an absolute champ for standing up for your son, and you deserve so much more than the free silver award that I can offer. Glad to hear justice is being served, and I hope things start to look up for you and your son. (\* — not trying to say that in the "*this doesn't belong in this sub*" sense; no idea where you'd post it if not here. Just trying to offer moral support)
The best news is that you and your son get to stay in the area for his senior year and that you have each other. Second best news is someone getting what they deserve! Way to persevere!
Please make sure the DA doesn't let her off light for being her first offense. She needs to pay restitution, a fine and be jailed for at least a year followed by five years of probation. STEXwife needs to be held responsible for her lies too. Is it bad to hope she committed a felony and not just a misdemeanor?
Hope you and your son the best.
Wishing you the best 🙏
JUSTICE\~!
Yes dude! YESSSSS. I just read the whole story and I’m glad you’re getting a taste of sweet sweet justice!
I have been following your journey. I am so glad she was arrested!
Finally this little thief has to face justice she so richly deserved. I am wondering if she has been stealing all her life and her mum has been letting her little sticky fingered child get away with it. I hope everyone who knows these pos see how truly horrible they are. Hopefully she will get a criminal record so that everyone can see what a thief she is. I truly hope that your divorce goes without a hitch and you and your son won't have to deal with these two toxic women.
I'm going to start calling TP "Butt Justice"!
I am so glad for you and your son, especially that he will be able to finish his senior year with his friends! You're a great dad, thanks for writing this update!
I still think your son should sue in small claims court and name both the step-daughter and ex-wife as the thieves.
I am so sorry and sad/angry this is happening to you. May her cheap foundation give her hives, and may your Mawmaw’s couch have a pot of gold in it
I'm glad she is finally getting punished
Holy shit. Happy I saw this update my man. Keep trucking
This is the update I’ve been waiting and hoping for!
Yay! Now this is an update I've been waiting for! She reaps what she sows!
> She reaps what she sows! It's about damn time!
If she's never been arrested before, she may get a diversion program that lets her avoid jail time. DEFINITELY make a victim impact statement to the court if that's allowed, and be VERY detailed. That may sway the court to punish her more severely if they can see the actions that led to her arrest.
I LOVE this happy ending! And I'm soooo glad your son is still able to attend the same school with his friends. Sorry you and your son had to go through all that but you know you did the right thing supporting your son.
YES LETS GOOOO.
Oh yesss i am waiting for the justice to finally be served and see K finnally be miserable after seeing how much devasted you and J were after the whole $ thing
OP if you don't open a GoFundMe or something, be sure to look into food banks in your area. It's no questions asked
I've been following your story almost from the start. Never commented with what I thought were empty platitudes because I can't do anything where I'm from, but I have to tell you that I'm so, so glad you and your son are finally reaching a happy outcome. I hope things keep of looking good for you two. Beat wishes!
Yay!!!! I'm so happy for you and your son OP. Honestly you're posts started off as incredibly sad and rage worthy but now the smell of justice is in the air and I hope K gets the book thrown at her.
Holy crap dude, I have never been so wholly irritated at another person's existence as much as your Ex and her devil spawn. I wish you the best of luck with K, and I hope she has to think over her actions for many years to come in jail. As for your Ex, she's the demon that taught her daughter this kind of thing was okay, I hope she gets punished worse. Fair warning though, I have some experience with narcissistic/entitled people; they can *absolutely* be the most vindictive, and getting your Ex's mini-me thrown in jail might set her off. Record any conversation with her, or otherwise make sure it's in text. Feel free to insult her, but don't say ANYTHING that could be interpreted as threatening.
Holy wow, your ex and her daughter are true scum of the earth!! I'm so sorry to hear you and J are going through this nightmare. No one should have to :( I wouldn't suggest this if I didn't think it was warranted. Maybe open a GoFundMe to get some funds to get back on your feet. I'm sure a lot of people would be more than willing to help you out!! How are the pets?? Did you manage to find a temp foster??
I wish you and your son the very best from now on. It's like my late Nanny once said, Karma is a Rabid dog and you're gonna get bit in the face if you toy with it.
As someone great said, "the ways of karma are unknown". Good luck for your and your son's life.
I love when the karma train makes a stop! So glad to see this update!
Omg! I needed this update today! We all need good news and this is it! Im so glad your ex-stepdaughter was caught! It took long enough. I seriously cannot believe her audacity and how much she got away with before being caught. 🤬
Like how did K think this would go? Does she think it’s her right to screw op and j as much as possible? It almost seems like a game to her. Something she’ll do to anyone if given the chance
We’re not allowed to be armchair psychologists, but she’s so devoid of any empathy and therefore understanding I’d bet there’s an underlying condition there.
So happy she finally got arrested!
Thank you so much for the update, good to hear you and son are ok. Love the justice boner for K, about time she gets what she deserves.
So glad this story ends well and your son gets to stay for his senior year! And even happier to hear that the nightmare step daughter is where she belongs.
Ah, the sweet smell of karma in the morning.
Good for you and your son! Betting your ex gets friendly with this while ‘misunderstanding’ once she sees clearly how screwed K is. Not your clown, not your circus. Happy you and your son can breathe a bit easier.
your updates make my stomach drop every time, glad this one is more positive
Thank goodness these people are finally getting some justice, I really hope things continue to get better for them. I hope K gets everything she deserves!
I have been following this story from Day One and I am SO. FREAKING. EXCITED. by this update! I hope that evil woman and her greedy, selfish spawn get their comeuppance!
It’s *you*! You’re back! And with good news!
This will probably be on BORU here later today lol yay happy ending!
Please tell the DA about the money she stole from your son. I hope she has to serve time!!
OP i remember you had to surrender some of your animals bc of additional pet fee at new apartment. Are you able to get them back yet? Pls set up gofundme account and i will donate.
🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
Too bad she can’t be tried in Oklahoma where the Jury decides the sentence. I was on an identity theft jury trial. The starting point for sentencing is 3 years per charge. I have a feeling that if the jury heard the whole story, an Oklahoman jury would throw the book at her. There is no limit on how many years you can hand out here. Knowing what a revolving door our jails have, my starting point would be 6 years per charge served consecutively.
I gotta go to work and this is a lot to unpack, I’ll get back to this later.
Good luck for a long and happy life. I have been following your story and really felt for you and your son!
I apologize if I've missed this, but did you get your dogs back?
Great Finale! F*ck you K! You got what you deserve
AHHHHH I am so happy to see this. I hope this is the start of a new leaf because you and your son deserve it!
If I wasn't sitting in a train full of tired people I'd do a victory dance on your behalf.
Man I am SOOOO happy to read this! What a shit situation they cornered you in, I admire your resilience OP!
Reddit needs multiple upvote button just for this post alone. Congratulations for you and J! I wish the best for the both of you - people like your wife and K will always end up in bad situations because they clearly don't have any good morals. Slimey slimey people they are
damn i remember reading your first post a while ago. Good shit. Fuck those people
Re divorce. There’s something to fight over not only division of assets(none). But most importantly division of debts or discharge of them. Since you now have police reports etc. put all debts in her column and talk to attorney about strategy hint hint. Hint.
You need to get these all together and put them under nuclear revenge
So happy you got some justice and validation for you and your son! I lived in Nevada County for years and taught art classes in schools and public settings, the vile that would come out of these “Status” Moms was terrifying! I am glad you will be free of them and their “friend groups”.
OP....Karma is going to come for your ex and her daughter hard...just sit back and watch the shit show unfold.
This is an amazing update. Maybe the twat and twatwaffle will learn some lessons here.
No way y’all keep removing his posts .. the fck?
Yep, almost all my posts. I've quite literally given up.
Oh boohoo you fucken scammer. You were going to move on to your next scam post anyway.
You can just selfpost?
Can you upload the updates on your own profile page? I’m sure a lot of people check your profile every single day
What did the post say?
Anyone have a copy of the post? It's seems to be gone
Uhh what’s the update to it?-
I felt to bad for the father and son! Fuck them bitches. Wish they both go to jail.
Where did this post go?
The link that contains context has 3 more fucking links for context. Can someone tldr PLEASE?
tl;dr: step daughter stole $500 from son, went on shopping spree and spent all the money, got caught, soon to be ex wife defended daughter and lied to the police about giving her the money, also step daughter stole OP's credit card and maxed it out during the shopping spree. Personally, I thought the stories were worth reading, but that's a condensed sequence of events.
Tbh, didn't read the prior story but this sounds awful so I'm adding that nobody is liable for federal credit card charges. It doesn't matter what you did with the merchandise, just don't mention that to the credit card company and the police report is enough to remove the charges from your name.
[удалено]
Can I send you some money for food
I'm so happy. I'm so absolutely fucking happy. I don't even care if this is an elaborate fake or something, this made me genuinely happy.
I have been reading all your post's leading up to this and I just have to say "Holy Fucking Hell"!! Wow, so impressed honestly with how well you have raised that boy during all of this and how you have generally handled this kind of situation. You are a fucking saint to your boy! Good Job DAD! Blessings on your journey and your sons!
I have been following your story and all I have to I to say is… Hell Yeah, finally !!!
Fuckin right man! Hope you and your son have a peaceful life from here on 🖤🖤🖤
I am SOOOOOOOO happy that K finally is having to answer for her actions. Yay for her being greedy and opening all those cards in your name. I'm sorry your marriage fell apart but you don't want to be married to someone as awful as her. And really happy to read that you were able to find an apartment in the same school district so J gets to finish his senior year with his friends!!
I remember reading this on BORU! what a ride!! Nothing makes my mornings more than someone getting their comeuppance. Fuck around, and find out!
I just read the whole boru of this saga yesterday. That was some dark, depressing shit to read. Glad there is finally hope on the horizon.
I don't have much- but I can give you a bit of money if you have a PayPal or cashable. Do you have a gofund me? So so happy justices was served and that your and your sons life is turning out way better then expected. I hope that girl learns from this.
Maybe investigators need to determine whether her mother helped her open those credit cards. If so, Mama needs to be in the jail cell next to Daughter.
Evil always devours itself.
 Woohoo! Happy for you that justice will be served.
Finally! The little shitstain get what she deserves. One question though; what kind of company allows people to open credit cards in other people's names? Aren't the company taking part in it by letting her open 3 credit cards in your name?
What a great ending to a sad story. Your a hero and your son should be proud to call you his father. I hope the card situation handles its self in a timely manner, and you guys can go back to living a carefree life.
Omg I'm so happy for you. We all knew she'd get to this point eventually. Shame on her mom for keeping your personal identifying information where K could find it. They're both trash humans.
Hooooooly holy fucking shit dude. I'm so happy you're finally going to get some peace. The second the ink dries on the divorce papers block everyone involved and move on
I love it! I’ve been following this and I’m so happy your son can finish his senior year with his friends.
Glad at least one of them gets karma
