- She Tried to Destroy Her Stepdaughter’s Future to Protect Her Children, but Now She Cries for Forgiveness
When James married his second wife, he believed that his family was finally complete. He already had a 10-year-old daughter from his late wife, and although the child was young, she carried herself with so much respect, kindness, and obedience. She accepted her new stepmother with love, even calling her “Mummy,” and showing no resistance to the woman who had suddenly taken the place of her late mother.
But for the new wife, that acceptance was never enough. She admitted in tears that she could never stand the presence of the little girl, no matter how innocent she was. Her husband’s strong attachment to his daughter made her jealous, and her heart burned with insecurity. She wanted her own children to have all the attention, all the love, and all the future glory.
The woman confessed that she begged her husband to send his daughter to live with her maternal grandmother or aunties, but James refused. He insisted that his daughter would remain with him. That was when things grew darker. In desperation, she travelled to a remote village to consult a native doctor. She wanted to know the future of the little girl.
According to her story, the native doctor revealed something that shook her completely. He told her that the girl’s future was bright and that she would one day be the pillar of the family. Those words filled her with fear. She believed her own children would be overshadowed, so instead of being happy about the revelation, she chose the path of destruction.
She returned a month later to another native doctor and pleaded with him to destroy the future of her stepdaughter. He demanded the girl’s underwear and hair, which she secretly brought to him. After performing the rituals, he handed her items to bury inside the tomb of a deceased pregnant woman. The task was difficult, so she hired her cousin to do the burial for her. She thought she had successfully ended the future of the girl.
But not long after, she became pregnant with twins. At first, she thought it was a blessing and a sign that her plans had worked. However, her joy soon turned into tears. The twins are now almost three years old, yet they cannot walk, they cannot talk, and they cannot sit without help. Their bodies are limp, lifeless, and weak, even though hospital tests keep showing that they are medically fine. The woman cried that it feels as if her twins are trapped inside bodies that cannot move.
While her own children suffer, James’s daughter is thriving. She is healthy, brilliant, and always excelling in school. The woman said she regrets everything she has ever done against the innocent girl. She returned to the same native doctor who performed the ritual, but he told her he had already done his work and there was nothing more he could do.
In search of another solution, her friend took her to a well-known elder in another village. The elder, without being told, described everything she had done against her stepdaughter. He told her that the only way forward was to cancel the curse and perform certain cleansing sacrifices. But first, she had to dig up what she buried in the tomb.
Her husband was deeply shocked and furious when he heard this. After they returned home, James sent her away immediately. Since then, she has been begging for forgiveness, but he has refused to listen. She admitted that she has cried, apologised to him, and even begged his friends to intervene, but James has turned his back on her.
She claims that everything she did was because of the love she had for her children. She said she never meant harm, but jealousy and fear pushed her into desperate actions. Unfortunately, her cousin who helped her bury the items in the tomb is now dead, and she does not even know the exact place where the burial was done. That has left her helpless, broken, and consumed by regret.
She now pleads publicly, asking James to forgive her and take her back. Her voice shakes with emotion as she admits that she destroyed her family with her own hands. She says she is lost, she is in pain, and she knows she has destroyed her own children’s future in the process of trying to destroy someone else’s.
Her final words were full of sorrow: *“Please forgive me, James. I know that I have done wrong. I was blind with jealousy and fear, and I did not think clearly. I only wanted the best for my children, but I ended up destroying everything. Please help me. Please forgive me.”*
This painful story shows how greed, envy, and fear can ruin families. It also shows how financial and emotional decisions driven by jealousy can cost a person more than they ever imagined. The husband invested love, trust, and resources into his new wife, but she returned his kindness with betrayal. Now, she is left with children who cannot walk or talk, a broken marriage, and a heart filled with regrets.
Money is not just paper. Money carries trust, sacrifice, and the story of a family. In this woman’s case, the envy she carried in her heart became more costly than any financial mistake.
James was a man who invested his sweat into his home. He paid school fees, bought food, paid rent, and made sure everyone under his roof was comfortable. But the betrayal from his wife destroyed the foundation of trust in the family. A broken home does not only cost tears, it also costs money. When parents separate, it is the children that suffer, both emotionally and financially.
Instead of building a future together, this woman spent her time and resources looking for native doctors. She paid money to them, hoping to block her stepdaughter’s destiny. That money could have been saved, invested in a small business, used to buy land, or to secure the twins’ health care. But jealousy made her throw it away.
The curse she planted is now haunting her finances. Raising two disabled children is not just emotionally heavy, it is financially draining. Hospital bills, special care, and endless searching for solutions have emptied her pocket. Where there should have been savings, there is now debt. Where there should have been joy, there is now pain.
This story is a financial lesson for every home. When we invest in hate, we get loss. When we invest in jealousy, we get poverty. But when we invest in love, unity, and truth, we build wealth that lasts.
The husband’s daughter, the same girl she wanted to destroy, is proof of this. She is healthy, focused, and doing well in school. Education is one of the strongest financial investments a parent can make, and James’s daughter is showing that results come when children are supported and loved. She is becoming an asset, not a liability.
On the other hand, the twins represent what happens when greed and jealousy direct financial choices. Instead of becoming joy, they became a heavy load. Not because they are not innocent, but because money that should have been used to bless them was wasted on destruction.
Families are like banks. Whatever you deposit is what you will withdraw tomorrow. If you deposit love, patience, and truth, you will withdraw peace, unity, and financial stability. If you deposit jealousy, hate, and greed, you will withdraw tears, poverty, and regret.
Today, this woman cries for forgiveness. But her tears also cry out a warning to every family: do not use money to fight another person’s destiny. Do not use wealth to sponsor jealousy. The price is always heavier than you can carry.
Money should be used to build, not to break. Wealth should protect children, not curse them. A wise woman builds her home with her hands, but a foolish one tears it down with her own money.
At Prudentj2, we always remind our readers: the biggest investment is not in land or property, it is in people. Protect your family with love, and your money will multiply. But use your money to destroy others, and you will destroy yourself.
