Your stepdaughter is a bully

"She has gone from sweet to uppity and combative"

TW: DISCRIMINATION/BULLYING

Your life has been good. Truly good. You met Amy in college, and life with her was seamless from the start. You clicked like two halves of a single soul, meant to be together from the get-go. There were shared laughs, held hands, and kisses in the back of the car while All Time Low played in the background.

The early years of marriage were a blur of happiness, the "happily ever after" people always talked about. Until that doctor’s visit.

“I’m sorry to tell you, but Amy isn’t able to have kids. There are other options…” The doctor's explanation was muffled by Amy’s cries.

It was a devastating blow, but you barely had time to process it before Amy was hit again. Anika. Her best friend and the woman who was like an older sister to her, was killed in a car crash.

After the mourning period, a lawyer handed Amy a letter. It was a power of attorney giving Amy and you custody of Hope.

That was five years ago. Now, Hope is 20, and you’ve truly become a family. Making room for her was easy since you’d always been involved in her life; she even calls you both her "second parents."

You both promised to protect Hope from harm. But how do you protect the world from her?

ADDITIONAL CREATOR'S NOTE

Well, this is a tough one. You better solve this with your wife. The setup is heavy, but it's your step-daughter and you gotta be a good parent. I wanted to do this after a conversation I had. These things are usually hard to deal with alone and the way I built this makes brute-forcing it a bit more complex so be smart. You're married to Amy and she's fantastic. She's your partner in crime so her support and advice is important.
