Good point, sorry didn't think that through

Where's the lie, though

You and your sister should just get together and beat the shit out of your brother in the dark every few nights. Not because it's right or because you can easily get away with it, but because it would make everyone who has read this infuriating story feel better. It's basically a public service at this point to do that.

I read the TLDR and I'm confused

No. Don't believe everything you read on the internet, for gods sake.

Sounds like he uses the Dennis system.

And now you see how anime destroys everything

get out of there as soon as you can and leave that toxic household.

Couldn't get past first couple sentences. Wall of text, using tinder to find friends? Educate each other? Nope.

Guys, how bout we start a crowdfunding for these 2 young ladies? Life's shit enough for em

When someone gets upset about the comparison, pause, look at them long and hard and say “I know the difference between a dog and a baby. We’re encouraged to crate our dog whereas you get sent to jail for doing that to a baby” and walk away shaking your head

It's not yout fault. Your mum is a horrible person for saying "finders keepers" in response to him stealing your hard earned money. She's actually complicit as she allowed him deposit it into her account. I get the feeling maybe he found it, told on you, and she decided to let him spend it to punish you for having a job. Your stepdad sounds like a pathetic, spineless coward.

None of these people deserve your respect or loyalty. Well your sister does obviously, i mean the people I mentioned in the above paragraph. They don't deserve anything good from you.

Honestly, you are right.

Sitting on the Internet I would love to say you should find his console, sell it (as it is after all now yours) and use the money for the tickets.

Sadly, you are right. It is important to do the right thing and be better. It really sucks that not everyone is, but if everyone does wrong then the world will just get worse.

The best thing is to learn the lesson that there are horrible people and avoid them. I am just sad for you that these are your family and you can't get away from them yet, I hope one day you will find better people to spend your time and attention on.

But I would still recommend some revenge if you can, even is it doesn't go so far as a crime!

Ah ! Make more sense yeah. But I doubt it will be effective.

Edit: nope the comment was talking about the parent...

Well she can stand

Idk, I manage to do something similar with just one hand, it doesn't look offensive that way. Just figure out a way to do it without offending anyone, if their hands are too small to use one, then continue using two but stare down into your lap before doing it, not at somebody because that's creepy anyways.

Sorry to hear that but your sister has the right mentality OP. What I'd say is to bide your time and not advertise it too much. You never know what shit the parents will pull/allow to be pulled on you when on the grounds of "well you're not part of the family anymore"

This is why I find it easier to just not talk to people. It's far too easy to say something that somebody, somewhere, will choose to take offense to. Even if they aren't part of the conversation and just overheard it.

Freedom of speech doesn't seem to be a thing these days, because if you say something and some other person gets the wrong end of the stick, well tough shit. YOU'RE still the person at fault, YOU'RE still the person held responsible and YOU'RE the one in the wrong.

Fuck that noise

Sell your brothers console. It's a finding.

My son is named Max. Guess how many times I’ve heard that. 😅

w-was that his..?

Going to the police is not a wrong. Not going is wrong, you should report a crime as soon as you can. To be the bigger person you first of all have to follow the law. You can't let a wrong slip through, especially if that's not just any wrong, is litteral theft, you must go to the police if they keep saying they won't give you the money back
