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.
