Jani, the stepmom, has been married to the dad for four years, but she’s still having a hard time fitting in. She’s been to therapy, family sessions, and even couples counseling, but nothing seems to help. One day, she confronts her 16-year-old stepdaughter, asking if she’s the most important woman in her life. The teen’s response? A brutal truth bomb that leaves everyone stunned.
