Step-Dad Locks Kid in Room: Custody Battle Ensues
Imagine being locked in your room for almost an entire day, with no phone and no bathroom breaks! That’s exactly what happened to our storyteller when their step-dad decided to play jailer while mom was at work. When mom finally came home and found out, she accused her child of lying to ‘get rid of’ her husband. But our hero wasn’t having it! They left mom’s house, told their dad what happened, and that’s when things got really spicy. ️ Dad, being the protective parent he is, got in touch with step-dad’s ex and spilled the beans. The result? Step-dad lost his custody battle over his own kids! Now our storyteller is left wondering if they did the right thing. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
