Chapter 13: 2.3c — Inviting a Viper To The House

Having been born into this role (literally) you might not have the privilege of fraternizing with your own life-providing meat pocket due to the circumstances of fate (i.e., your mothers may have died long before you gain the cognition to recognize yourself as a villainess or the wherewithal to actualize your humanity). In this circumstance, you may have (i) a single father, (ii) a single father with an unmarried live-in lover, (iii) a single father with a plethora of housed lover/s, or (iv) a stepmother.

In this sub-section, we will be discussing how to identify the purpose and utility of a stepmother in your life. It is vital for your survival that you understand their role, power, and influence over your next few years as a dependent.

We begin by gathering as much information about them as possible, do it quickly! You need to know their age, pre-marital social status, post-marital social status, a rough history of their lovers and friends, their ties to their family, their ability to mobilize your father’s resources, their ability to mobilize your staff, their ability to make decisions on your behalf, and, most importantly, how much your father values them.

Do they love your father, your father’s position, your father’s money, or your father’s money? Do they want more? Do they have big dreams of taking over the household? Were they thrust into these circumstances by the family, life, or situation they found themselves in?

Were they your father’s mistress before your mother passed? How long have they been cavorting? Does your mother know? Did they kill your mother? Plot against them? Provoke them?

Once gathered, the information will be the key to how you take them down, fall behind you, or, if you’re feeling gracious and have retained the minute level of humanity needed to be compassionate, neutralize them.

Of course, that’s just the tip of the iceberg: Does your father have children with them? Does your father have other lovers?

Easiest thing will be to turn your father against them by entrapping them into (a) committing adultery with your father’s enemy, relative, or an “undesirable”.  This does not guarantee you an out though as it is simple enough to get another, especially if your father is of a certain social, political, or economic position.

If they have an ambitious child, all you need is to get a hold of something that will destroy their plans, future, or life. Gambling? Prostitution? Treason? Lese majeste? There are just so many options! (We recommend that you have fun with it as these new planes of existence do not have a ready access to entertainment.)

If they have greedy parents, wedge them between your father’s interests or dignity and his love for this woman. Let them walk onto the edge of the knife and start a fire by provoking them more and more.

One of the more impactful and lasting ways that provides you more control over situations is focusing on your own personal development: gain a social, political, or economic position that does not allow them to keep annoying you (as stepmothers are either annoyances or menaces).

Remember that they’re a card in your pocket. Familiarize yourself and strategize!
