My Stepmom Laughed at the Prom Dress My Brother Sewed From Our Late Mom’s Jeans — By the End of the Night, the Whole School Knew the Truth

My stepmom laughed at the prom dress my little brother made for me out of our late mom’s jeans.

By the end of the night, everyone knew exactly who she was.

I’m seventeen.
My brother Noah is fifteen.

Our mom died when I was twelve. Dad remarried Carla two years later. Then last year Dad died suddenly from a heart attack, and everything in our house changed overnight.

Carla took control of everything.

Bills. Accounts. Mail. Money.
