AITA for confiscating my stepdaughter's phone after she gave my daughter's ex her new address.

EXCEPT HE WASN'T. Nothing against your judgement of course as OP snuck very relevant edit into the original post. The daughter's ex wasn't violent. He stole money from OP's daughter meant for her education. Is that bad? Of course. Can people be financially abused? Absolutely. But OP made it sound like his daughter's life was in danger from a dangerous man. He made it sound like his step daughter literally put his daughter's life on the line when she gave the ex the daughter's info. OP is a manipulative AH for the way that he worded this post. He wrote it to cast his stepdaughter and wife in the worst possible light and himself and his daughter as the most heroic and angelic characters. That's trashy and dishonest.
