DID SHE STEAL FROM ME?

**I wasn’t sure where to post this. Sorry if it’s not under the right group**

A little backstory, I turned 15 two years ago. My family threw me a quinceañera and I got a necklace from one of my madrinas (godmother, for those who don’t speak spanish)

(Horrible picture, I know. Sorry)

Out of everything I received that day, the necklace is the one I treasured the most.

My mother and I had gotten into an argument about a year later. I moved out of my mom’s and into my dad’s. My dad had gotten married three years before I moved in. His wife has five children, two boys and three girls, only one (the year old baby) belongs to my dad.

I had met his wife years before. I had spent some weekends over at his place throughout the years. It was never a constant thing. I would go months without seeing him because I didn’t like his wife. She was extremely manipulative and I remember her having suggestive messages from other men on her phone. I just had never met any of her older children because they lived out of the country.

When I had moved in, she had only brought her eldest daughter to the country. She was a year younger than I was. She was really kind. Within a couple weeks of me living there, she brought her two other children, a 12 year old boy and a 13 year old girl. The girl was just as dishonest and manipulative, the boy was the sweetest ever.

Anyway, I wore the necklace every day. I would only ever take it off when I showered or slept. The chain is very thin so it would always get tangled. I remember I had given it to my dad to untangle it because I couldn’t. He then gave it to his wife because he couldn’t either. She never gave it back to me.

I asked repeatedly if she had seen it and she told me that she had given it back to me and I probably lost it. I believed her because I was pretty stupid and naive and I really shouldn’t have and I honestly don’t know why I accepted that answer. I was really upset. I cried over that necklace.

Eventually, my dad and I were arguing and me living with him and his “new family” became extremely toxic and I moved back in with my mom.

Fast forward to today, I logged into my facebook out of curiosity. I wanted to see what pictures my family had uploaded of me so I could untag myself because

And I see that I had a message from my stepmom’s 15 year old daughter (she turned 15 this year). She had told me happy birthday (my birthday was the 7th of this month) and she had updated her profile picture about 8 hours earlier.

I tap on her profile picture and my heart literally fell out of my ass.

(First picture is her, second picture is me)

She’s wearing my necklace. The necklace my stepmother told me that I had lost. The necklace that my dad had told my mom that I had “sold” to “buy drugs”

I burst into tears crying and I showed my mom and she gave me my dad’s number (I got a new number because I didn’t want to be in contact with him) so I could call him and tell him. I called and called and no response. I’m just waiting on him.

So, my question is, did she basically steal my necklace? I feel like it’s completely my fault but at the same time, I didn’t ask for this to happen.
