'I called her a pathetic insecure woman who I wanted nothing more to do with:' Stepmom rejoices in woman's pregnancy complications, bringing their strained relationship to a head

They say that once you get your first hater, you know you've made it. It's hard to live life without acquiring at least one person who is praying for your downfall. Some people just like to revel in other people's misery. Maybe they're jealous. Maybe they think you've wronged them. Maybe they just live with spite in their heart. Whatever the case, having a hater means learning how to live with them. You can let it get to you, or you can take it as a twisted form of flattery. This person lets you occupy so much space in their brain that they have to be angry about it. Let it affect their life, not yours. You know, peace be with you (and with your spirit or whatever they say now).

Having a hater in your life is no small feat, though, especially if you are constantly in close proximity to them. Creating boundaries with a hater who you have to see all the time can be quite the challenge, and sometimes you have to live and let live a lot more than you'd like. One woman experienced that when her stepmom was openly excited about her pregnancy issues. Read on to see how it plays out.
