The lie you all planned
I didn’t say that out loud challenge
You didn’t just lie.
You planned it.
Sat there with the others,
probably grinning,
talking about how to make me look guilty,
how to finally
get me out of the house
without having to say it to my face.
You could’ve been real.
You could’ve said,
"Diana, we don’t want you here."
But no—
you had to play dirty.
You had to turn fake tears into accusations,
turn a damn debit card
into a setup.
You said I stole it.
Ran up charges.
Committed fraud.
You painted me
like a criminal
when I’ve never even stood before a judge.
Never once.
And you know what hurts more?
They all nodded along.
Dad. Stepmom.
Silent smiles. Fake shock.
But I saw it.
I saw the way they looked at me—
not with confusion,
but with relief.
Like your lie gave them
permission to finally push me out.
And you—
you led the charge.
You called me a bitch
for living there rent-free,
when in reality,
I would’ve paid rent if anyone had asked.
But they didn’t.
Because money wasn’t the problem.
I was.
You said I need help
like I’m broken.
Like I’m slow.
But I see it now—
that was just part of the plan.
Break me down,
make me small,
make it easier to justify
what you all did.
You all played me
like I was too dumb to see it.
But I see it now.
I see you
for who you are.
And I swear,
I hope one day you get hit
with something you didn’t do.
Something heavy.
And I hope no one listens to you.
Not one person.
I hope you scream the truth
while the room turns their back.
I hope you feel
exactly how I felt—
abandoned, humiliated,
betrayed by the people
who should’ve stood by you.
I won’t ever forget it.
The lie.
The setup.
The silence.
The smirks.
And you,
leading it all
like the fake-ass queen
of some little kingdom built on bullshit.
Your karma’s coming.
And I hope it hits
exactly where it hurts.

That sounds really tough. I'm sorry that happened to you.
That's rough. Been in similar family drama. Manipulation's a tough pill to swallow.
