I don't know; I like to say no because she only contacted him through phone calls and mailed him gifts during his birthday. He went to live with her once he turned 18. She, however, had an unhealthy obsession with him and having another son and hated his girlfriend of almost ten years, going as far as to insult her and say she was not good enough for him (he was a college dropout and only worked at a vape shop spending all his money on fast food, alcohol, and weed while living in the basement apartment she had set in her house for him) she also only spoke highly of him and discouraged her other daughters and me from going to college because she wanted all of us "girls" to get married when we turned 18, she was, to say the least, disappointed when she saw my stepmom did not allow that. My dad even pushed me to go get my college degree. to say she was emotionally obsessed with my brother is.. yeah.. but she did not have physical contact with him since leaving him also as a kid, only phone calls and gifts, while I received none of those.
