I Got Betrayed By My Blood

Hello Rantz family, I didn’t want to bring this here but I have to. These past few days have been filled with many emotions. Feeling betrayed and broken by your own blood is something I will never wish on anyone. Let me go straight to the point. A few weeks ago, I told my step sister who was done with uni to move in with me in Lagos. I’m currently planning my japa by early next year. I wanted her to relocate to Lagos from Port Harcourt. I even promised her to pay her one year rent before leaving the country and transferring my properties to her. All these plans were set aside to make life easier for her. Trust me, moving to Lagos was never easy for me but God showed up in many ways. I even took her to my old company to get her a job there. By God’s grace she got lucky. In all this, my sister never showed any form of gratitude. It’s more like I’m forcing her to leave her comfort zone. Something miraculously happened yesterday that opened my eyes. We both went to Balogun market to get skincare stuff. Then I opted to stop at my hair vendor’s store to ask for the price of a particular hair. She also wanted to get one for herself but my budget wasn’t close to it.

Then I asked her if she had decided to get hers. For over 45 minutes she was yet to decide, then I got pissed at her saying, “Learn how to be decisive with things and stop feeling overwhelmed by everything you do. This is Lagos. Every time counts. If you continue like this, people will take advantage of you.” Then I concluded that only kids at some point do not know what they want and she should stop acting like one. She got very pissed and said, “Abeg, I’m not buying again.” I was so embarrassed by the situation. We both left in shame. My own sister started saying ill things to me inside the market. She started with, “You are ev!l, you are a very w**ked person, hence why none of your friends like you. You are not in good terms with our elder sister.” I remember confiding in her about a situation that almost ruined my marriage and that I had to involve the police for protection. Note, this issue was between me and my roommate. From nowhere my sister brought it up to use against me. She said, “That’s why your father abandoned you as a child.” This whole thing was in the middle of the market. I was forced to slap her.

The matter got really worse as she also fought back. There was no insult I did not collect yesterday. Rantz family, I was filled with rage that I had to collect the iPhone I got for her. I have booked her ticket back to Port Harcourt. I called her father to explain what transpired between us but her father started blaming me for taking action. He was more concerned about her well being than the hurtful words she said to me. Honestly, I’m so broken, depressed and damaged by the things she said to me. I don’t know if I’d be able to forgive her. Up till now she hasn’t shown any signs of remorse for her actions. She is set to leave in the morning. I just hope she’s making the best choices in life. I just thought to leave this here to get opinions and I’m also open for corrections. I don’t know if I acted out of proportion. I’m only hurt because ever since our mum passed, I’ve been there for her and her brother. I took her brother in and saw him through secondary school. I have played a major role in her father’s life. I didn’t expect him to be biased in his judgement.
