“NTA. 18 yo is way too old to be getting a pass on that kind of “joke”. That’s honestly so mean and hateful. Why should you let her stay in an apartment you could be profiting from when she acts hateful like that? You were extremely generous in considering to allow her to live there…taking it away is not harsh whatsoever.

Also, I can’t believe your wife is making these excuses forger daughter’s absolutely repugnant behavior. Has the daughter even apologized? Has the mom admitted she should apologize? I’m sorry…but this makes BOTH of them look really bad. I have to wonder if the mother bad mouths your ex wife to her daughter and that’s where she’s getting all these hateful feelings.

I hope you stand your ground on this. She shouldn’t be rewarded for the kind of behavior…it’s not doing her a favor to imply that saying things like that come with no consequences. She needs to learn.” – Agreed, the step daughter’s feelings didn’t grow out of nowhere.
