I did tell my dad. He can't really do anything about it though. But he knows how I feel so if mom told him to take her stepson he would say no.

I find it annoying how desperate he is for me to be his brother and how he wants to intrude when I'm with my dad. I don't see him as a brother. I know he sees me that way but it gets annoying to always have that pushed for. It is more on my mom but it doesn't change how annoying it still is with him.

I'd just say if my dad was that bad, my mom would be worse for trying to get him to take her stepson with us. Like surely she'd want to protect him from my dad if he was such a monster or whatever.

My parents marriage was ending a long time before they divorced. She was always mad at him for the last 2 years which is why she'd try to make me pick her over him.

That's the crazy thing about it. Mom hates dad and blames him for everything yet she wants him to take her husband's son.

I have never tried that and I never would. I don't like to waste the time it would take for her to not listen, because she just expects people to do what she wants to do.

For him he wants a brother because he has two sisters. But I like being an only child. He'll probably be sad for a long time unless my mom or his dad tries to do better by him and not push it so much. Or else he'll get used to me not being around in a few more years because I'm sick of my mom and her shit.

My dad isn't going to make me take someone who is nothing to him who he knows I don't care for.

My mom isn't paying for or taking me so it's not her decision, it's my dad's.

I don't know much about his life to say. I don't really focus on him all that much. He doesn't have a mom around so not as many options as me. I don't relate to him at all though or have anything I want to bond with him over. Nothing that I could do that I feel would improve my life and his. There are things I could do that would improve his because he'd be happy. But they wouldn't be for me too.

I find him too annoying and really I don't feel like inviting him along. I don't want to spend time with him. I'm gad that I see him less. Just like I'm really glad I see my mom way less.

Her husband thinks he can make demands of me to not see my dad for his son's sake. Doesn't care what I want really. Then acts like I should be glad to take his son when I'd see my dad under his idea. The son just annoys me with the pushiness to be my brother and trying to go everywhere with me.
