My Stepmom Smashed My Late Moms Treasured Crystal Set to Pieces, She Had No Idea She Was the One Being Tricked!

And sometimes, the person trying to cause damage doesn’t realize they’re revealing far more about themselves than about you.

The crystal may have survived untouched — but illusions in our family did not.
