My Ex’s New Wife Bought My Daughter a $1,000 Prom Dress to Humiliate Me and Win Her Over — What My Daughter Did Left Everyone Speechless

My ex-husband’s new wife, Cassandra, tried to win my daughter Lily’s affection with a $1,000 prom dress, mocking my homemade one. I’m April, a single mom working two jobs. When Lily fell in love with an expensive gown, I sewed a similar one with love. Cassandra showed up with the store-bought dress, belittling my efforts. Lily chose my dress for prom, stunning everyone. Cassandra was shocked, having posted online about her gift. Lily’s post about my handmade dress went viral, emphasizing love over money. Cassandra demanded I pay for the unused dress, but Lily shut her down, and she blocked her. I framed Lily’s prom photo next to one of my mom teaching me to sew, a reminder that love creates value, not price tags.

In another story, my stepmom Lisa wore my late mother’s wedding dress, meant for me, to marry my dad. I swapped it with a thrift store dress I weakened, which tore during the ceremony, exposing her disrespect and preserving my mom’s legacy.
