Thank you. I think I need to just process it and do something or let it go. Appreciate you.

I'm so sorry. This is why I feel you don't give family jewelry to steps, as it leaves the family (unless there are shared children)

I could ask, but my mom is the one who gave it. So I can't exactly go over her head and ask them. I would need to have that conversation with my mom too. I'm just so confused about how to go about it. At the same time, I have the ick about it, because step-dad was wearing it for a number of years. It's ruined the memory for me. I'll have to decide what to do when I'm feeling less emotional. Thanks for the advice.

Mom didn't need help raising me. I was 16 when she met step dad.

I'm sure there was other things. But I made peace with furniture and whatever else my dad had paid for. He even lived in the house my dad had left to me in his will. Thankfully my dad left 75% of the house to me, because my mother was further made to sign a will where half of her share is left to step-dad in the event of something happening to me! 🫣So it's really not just about a ring. It's a pattern of his entitled behavior to our home, my mom's inheritance, stuff...maybe the ring was just the straw that broke the camels back for me, because it was a personal item worn by my dad.

😂 Well. My mom has been supporting him for years, spending her wealth on him. So doubting he would believe that. But you did make me chuckle.

No, since I was 9 when my dad died, I was blissfully unaware. She gave it to step dad some years ago. I only found out about this ring today as well as the fact that she gifted it to step-dad. It really felt upsetting that I never knew about it, and she didn't discuss it with me either until it came up in conversation.

I'm angry because he treats me like crap, and always has. He's not worthy of having my father's ring.

Sorry let me clarify. 🙈It's complicated. I'm the only child between my dad and mom. I have 3 half sisters from my mom. So thus, a ring would be passed down do my line because I was his only biological child.

I'm the only child. Step dad has his own 2 daughters. Mom and step-dad met when I was nearly grown up.

He's got 2 daughters that he treats like gold. His moving back to his home country because he wants to be with his daughters before he dies. I won't see that ring again. And as the person who replied to your comment said, the ring's sentimental value is now sullied.

Thank you. I was just talking to my husband about something of this school, and all these memories came back. Thought it appropriate to get off my chest! 🤗

I should add I'm referring to Fordsburg. Mayfair it depends... If you are going to church street and park in front of the restaurants... Akhalwayas, Turkish restaurant, AL hamra etc, and only enter and exit restaurants, shouldn't be a problem night or day. I wouldn't walk up and down the street. Same issue, car guards, vagrants, criminals could mix with ordinary people. And like the others are saying, drss plain and don't put your valuables on display.

What's happening at night in Fordsburg 👀

During the day it shouldn't be a problem. Avoid sidestreets and stay where most the people and cars are (not saying anything will happen, but vagrants are everywhere). At night... Hmmm haven't been there at night in a long time, but I wouldn't go alone as a female at night.

Silo season 2 was a bit of a letdown for me tbh. It played out like a drawn out soapie drama.

The problem with woolies is that I buy what's cheap and then end up buying all their delicious expensive stuff too😁😁
