'Monstrous' stepmum CANCELS Christmas and sends her teenage stepkids back to live with their mother full-time after 'years of torment'
- A 'tormented' mother has decided to cancel Christmas this year and return gifts
- She sent her two teenage stepkids back to their mother to live full-time
- They had been living with her and their father for years with joint custody
- But their menacing ways have caused her great distress and she can't handle it
A stepmother has taken drastic action and cancelled Christmas for her teenage stepkids after years of 'torment' and 'manipulation' - before handing them back over to their mother full-time.
The anonymous woman, who aired her grievances on Reddit two days ago, said she had been helping raise her husband's children, a 12-year-old girl and 14-year-old boy, since 2018.
'I can't even express to you how much they have put me and my husband through. They are vindictive, liars, master manipulators, so disrespectful and tell anyone who will listen that I mistreat them,' she wrote.
'They are little clones of their mother who literally can't be explained in words. She is the actual scum of the earth.'

Her husband has had primary custody of the two children since 2019 and they have been together for seven years.
They spend weekends with their maternal mother and also visit her again over the summer school holidays.
While things had been 'rough' with the kids for years, it wasn't until her wedding in October 2020 that their behaviour took a turn for the worse.
'My stepson acted like a complete a*** at our wedding in front of everyone then while we were on our honeymoon they stayed with their mother and insisted they didn't want to come home because they are so mistreated and abused and they aren't allowed to speak to their dad so we let them stay with her for two months,' she said.
'Of course she sent them home when she decided she was done with them. This occurs every single weekend... they run my name through the mud when I've literally done everything I could for them the last seven years.'
As an example of their foul behaviour, their stepmother explained how her stepdaughter called 'someone the "n" word at school', which she was punished for, before putting on a 'show' to her mother about the consequences.

'This morning my stepson said awful things about me to a bunch of people including his bus driver and we couldn't take it anymore,' she explained.
'They don't want to live with us, this has been happening for years, and it's so bad my husband and I are on medication now and I'm being referred to a cardiologist and suffer from PTSD.'
As a result she returned all of their Christmas presents and sent them back to their mothers to live, this time for good (stock image)

'My husband will be giving her primary residency. I know you all probably think I'm awful too but we have tried everything! Everyone says "oh but they're just kids, this is normal teenage stuff" but it's not,' she said.
'No one understands unless they are in the situation. We didn't want it to come to this.'
Interestingly, despite calling herself a 'monster', much of the comments underneath her post were apologetic for what was happening.
'No judgement here, just wow. When you're being wound up to the point of PTSD and being referred to a cardiologist it's definitely time to take care of yourself,' one woman said.
'Now I have to say that these kids are clearly begging for their mum's attention and she doesn't want them and they know it,' said another.
A third added: 'This is a celebration post! You are getting your sanity back'.
