I Turned My Stepdaughter’s Room Into My Gym — It’s MY House Now

Everyone wants their homes to be peaceful, yet disputes frequently occur, especially in blended families where stepparents and stepchildren find it difficult to connect.

Chelsea’s choice to turn her 24-year-old stepdaughter’s bedroom into a home gym caused her husband to react in an unexpected and harsh way. Chelsea opened up about her experience, seeking help and guidance as she felt confused and unhappy.

Chelsea’s letter:

For illustrative purposes only.

My 24 y.o. stepdaughter visits on weekends. I wanted space for my daily workouts, so I transformed it into my gym. She was angry but I told her, ‘This is my home now, you don’t get to decide!’ Hours later, I got a disturbing call from my own daughter, and I rushed to her home. I fainted when I discovered my husband had turned her house upside down.

Turns out my husband, in a fit of rage, had shown up at her place with bottles of detergent and poured the liquid all over her brand-new furniture. My daughter said he’d shouted, “Tell your mother: My money, my rules!”

Last year, when my daughter got married, we had gifted her this furniture set-he had paid for it. And now, he’d done this to get back at me.

I’m stunned by how petty and immature his behavior was! All I wanted was a little space in my own house, and he took it out on my poor daughter. Do you think I should have acted differently?
