My Mom Wants Me To Marry My Creepy Stepbrother And Have His Child. She Now Harasses Me At Work And Lies About The Inheritance.
--------
I (29F) have an older stepbrother, Chris (42M), who has been a nightmare since the day my mom married his dad. Our parents married when I was four and he was 17. Both our parents were widowed. After their wedding, we moved to the US since my mom had American citizenship through marriage. I was born in the US, but after my dad died when I was one, my mom and I moved back to Colombia. My stepdad got his residency through marriage, and my stepbrother, because he was a minor, wasn’t a big fan of me.

My only memories of him are constant bullying. He would be left in charge of me since he was studying locally and lived with my parents. But mostly, his babysitting meant locking me in the guest bathroom or the shed outside. He would steal my lunchbox whenever he dropped me off at school. He even began to harm my pets. I have an old cat that has been with me for almost 22 years. He tried more than once to run her over with his car. My parents never believed any of it; he’s the classic Golden Child. My mom absolutely wanted a son instead of a daughter, so my stepbrother took priority over me.

The bullying just kept getting worse and creepier. He had a long key for the bathroom. The door was designed so that if it got locked by accident, one could open it by inserting a long stick or key through a small hole on the outside. He would use it to walk in on me showering. My underwear would disappear sometimes, and I know for a fact it was him. He also started taking pictures of me sleeping. One night, I woke up to him taking care of himself next to me while I slept. I yelled, obviously. My parents came over, but he wasn’t in trouble; I was, for tempting him. I was 14 when this happened; he was 27. No one helped me, and he got bolder until he did something I am still in therapy for.

When I was 16, it got to a point where I called my biological half-brother, Sam (48M), and son of my biological father's first wife, to see if I could live with him and his wife.

The stepbrother was definitely a predator. Her mom was a total idiot for not doing anything to stop the abuse. The stepfather should’ve put a stop to it as well. I’m not surprised that the couple may be getting a divorce.

[alinamccall]

the stepbrother makes me so sick, the age gap is WILD

[Rake-bl]

Hold up. So when he does things from watching you sleep to a whole s3xual assault and your mom would blame you for that?
Nah that’s inhumanly unfair

[dorkangel]

That last update pissed me off to no end... I'm happy he's locked up

[Gardenbee]

Omg that letter nearly made me vomit. That's mother needs to play with traffic ASAP

[StarKuromii]

I cant believe ur own biological mother would do that like ew..

[RedditExplorers]

My trauma has been traumatised with that story.

Why do I have the feeling that the baby was supposed to be the final piece in the stepbrother's "Family"

[JeremyBosco-yq]

The mother's hatred for her own daughter, simply for being born a girl, reminds me of my father's late mother, who was the opposite; she tried to ignore me and my younger brother simply because we were boys, and she believed that mom had to have all girls for her children to be worth a damn. Luckily, my parents weren't very willing to allow this behavior in their presence, and they forced her to acknowledge me and my brother as her grandchildren. I didn't actually know about any of that until we were adults, so fortunately no lasting psychological damage was done to either of us because of that.

*TRIGGER WARNING*
This sounds like my story. Mom wanted a boy, I was a girl. She hated me as a child and sold me to a man in his 40s, from the age of 10 years old to 12 and a half years old. I was almost 13 when he got arrested for it. Around the time my class in school had started sex ed, I remember telling him I did not want to have a baby, as I had started my periods the month before his last time seeing me. He SA'd me anyway without a condom, as usual. Luckily I did not get pregnant and was not left infertile from it. He was not violent, I learned to become limp, so that it hurt less and tune it out mentally. I eventually got the courage to tell on him, once I knew what he was doing was not his right. This was after my sex ed teacher talked about consent and what SA was. He had been telling me that it was his way of showing his love and helping me develop my body faster. That this was normal and everyone did this to help kids grow up. Its just something we don't talk about. When I told, my mother's first reaction was to call me a lying little b*tch. Then when we went to court and I had to testify in front of a jury, answering embarrasing questions requiring way too much detail of acts done to me, through tears, she played the loving mother who was distraught over what he did. She SOLD ME! I did not find out how involved she was until I was in my 20s. By then she had died and I could not press charges on her for it. I am in my 30s now, and my body still has the trauma responses, despite the therapy and work to find sex enjoyable. The US law is a joke because they only gave him 10 years to serve plus 10 years probation for me, while he was a repeat offender for the same crime against a previous girl. He was given 7 years to serve for her plus 7 years probation. Dude was taking me with him after SA'ing me, leaving me to wait in the car while he met with his probation officer. FOR THREE YEARS! First time offenders need to be castrated. Repeat offenders need to be unalived. That's how I feel.

A therapist needing a therapist is crazy

[carydorse]

Btw, theres further updates: after the stepbrother got arrested the mom started harassing op and demanding she pay bail for him. Op declined, so the mom tracked her down in a hotel room (turns out there was a tracker under the car) and physically attacked her until hotel security arrived. The mom got the room number from a receptionist after claiming op was suicidal after her "fiancé" got arrested on false charges. Despite Op going to the police they didnt file charges cause the cops didn't believe an elderly woman like the mom would be much danger.
She still got arrested eventually for tax fraud and larceny so that's good news.
Noone knows what the stepbrother wanted the baby for.

[ZUHAYERRRR]

Now I feel bad for the therapist cause she heard it in

[TA-qmjf]

Everybody talking about the family but we not going to talk about how disgusting the police are in this story??

[naynayramirez]

After she wins her case she should go back to the original pd and sue the hell outta them to with the information about the 2yo added. That's terrible

[stephaniehoyland]

I Don't know who more terrifieing the mother thinking she can make a real life stepbro video or the step brother

[muumuugirl]

They should lock the step brother and throw away the key

[Seth-wz]

These people are not ok, the mother is just plain crazy and probable needs therapy

[Taco_Eater_]
