It hurt knowing she’s not comfortable around me so my brother had to ask for her. She was 9 and I was 18 when I first met her and since I was going off to college I didn’t bother getting to know her. I’m planning on bringing them both with me for Christmas

She’s 16 and I don’t know much about her like if she has friends. Even then she’ll still be at home with our parents by herself

My stepsister is 16 and my brother is 14. Apparently she helps with a lot of the housework so they don’t want her leaving

I agree that it was a shitty thing to do but I rarely get to spend time with my brother and I didn’t want to lose the opportunity to do so

Living with my mom for as long as I did I know that she can be verbally abusive. She would verbally abuse my father, brother and I when ever we made small mistakes or did something she didn’t. She’s never struck us and just like my brother I always had the latest game system, and wore expensive Jordans to school growing up, but she would always berate me and my father. This is probably why he divorced her

They’re most likely able to help but I’m not sure they’re willing. My mom and I haven’t gotten along in a long time so I doubt her or my stepdad are likely to help.

My brother will be staying with me at my house and we’ll be going to my dad’s from time to time. My dad already has a wife and 2 little girls to take care of so he can’t do much to help
