At just sixteen, she had already set her sights on a future in fashion design. Living primarily with me, she had a safe and nurturing space to pursue her passion. But during the occasional visits to her father\u2019s house, things were different. Her stepmother, Diane, was strict, controlling, and, worst of all, heartless.\n</p><p>Rachel had saved for months, working hard to buy her dream sewing machine.

To her, Rachel\u2019s sewing was nothing more than a distraction from house chores. She made sure Rachel had endless responsibilities and refused to give her any allowance. And when Rachel\u2019s father wouldn\u2019t support her financially, my daughter took matters into her own hands.\n</p><p>One evening, after an argument about dirty dishes, Diane reached her breaking point. In a fit of rage, she grabbed Rachel\u2019s sewing machine and, without hesitation, hurled it into the backyard pool.\n<figure id='\"attachment_25410\"' aria-describedby='\"caption-attachment-25410\"' style='\"width:' class='\"wp-caption' aligncenter><img loading='\"lazy\"' decoding='\"async\"' class='\"size-full' wp-image-25410 src="%5C%22https:%5C/%5C/echowoven.com%5C/wp-content%5C/uploads%5C/2025%5C/02%5C/My-ExHusbands-Wife-Tossed-My-Daughters-Sewing-Machine-in-the-Pool-5-scaled-1.jpg%5C%22" alt='\"\"' width='\"1707\"' height='\"2560\"' title='\"\"'><figcaption id='\"caption-attachment-25410\"' class='\"wp-caption-text\"'>For illustration purposes only. | Source: Pexels\n<p>Rachel\u2019s panicked call sent me racing to her father\u2019s house.

When I demanded an explanation, Diane simply shrugged.\n</p><p>\u201cShe needs to learn responsibility,\u201d she said coldly.\n</p><p>I took a deep breath, steadying my anger. Then, with a calmness that surprised even me, I turned to my ex-husband.\n</p><p>\u201cThis woman just destroyed something our daughter worked for months to earn.

Let me show you how I handle things.\u201d\n</p><p>I walked past her, straight into the house, ignoring her protests.
