Op. You're much smarter than most of the people in these comments. By a pretty wide margin lol. You seem to have a good handle on the situation. I don't think you fucked up, because you shouldn't have to guard yourself from family, but now you know. It seems like you know the best course of action is just to live your own life and not really interact with them anymore. They obviously don't respect you, and people like that just aren't worth your time.

This. And i do absolutely love hanging out with the young ones in small doses perhaps a couple of times a month. As someone in their 30s, i get to learn a lot, and imbibe some of that youthful enthusiasm. But any more than once or twice a month and that selfsame youthful enthusiasm is, more than likely, going to become annoying to the point of gouging out my eyeballs and giving myself sensorineural hearing loss.

The brass and tacs here is that OP is, perhaps overinvested, and for him, OP is perhaps slightly more than a form of assisted masturbation.

Doesn't matter if she thinks it's fair or not.

It'll teach him not to do it again. He stole your money you have every reason to go take it back. If it's not there in cash then take his stuff.

Preferably something he'll really miss, like all his controllers so he can't play his games.

If there are no consequences for it he'll do it again.

Teaching their son that it's ok to take other peoples things? That couldn't possibly go wrong. Your parents are failing. You say you don't want to make your life a living hell but imo living under a roof with people like that, that you're supposed to be able to trust, is already hell. It might seem ok now, but given their doubling-down on defending your brother I suspect that in a few months you'll feel very differently.

Wait for the next time he puts his phone down outside the room, nab it, and pretend you've sold it.

You my friend are a moron. Not only did you steal, but you have also exposed company secrets. As a dev, I find it very disturbing that there's this sort of a workaround in the system. Then again, I've seen worse and I've never... I repeat NEVER abused or exposed this kind of information. Even in situations where I knew that no evidence would be left behind, I never pulled this crap. As a fellow redditor told you, I suggest you remove this post before other people figure out who it was.
