You may have brought the man to him. But he had the character of a cheater before that. You just found out now. Cut your losses and move on to someone who will be loyal to you.

At least where I live, this would never fly in any way. Police would call it a domestic issue that should be done through civil court.

For the revenge route, I love this :).

Honestly, you are going about this the wrong way. As they say, revenge is like drinking poison and hoping the other person to die.

Do not spend a single second thinking about your brother or mother. Simply focus on you. Get better. Invest in you.

Also, personally, I'd simply exclude the brother from your life. No convo, just live around him.

Also, horrible parenting. Finders keepers? Your brother will wind up in jail or killed.

Your only mistake is lack of experience. And that is not really a mistake either. Thing is that blood is not always thicker than water. Family only matters when they treat you with respect. And this is why, even though it may be hard, sometimes you have to cut ties with family as well.

Your parents sound like horrible people. Lying, stealing, taking advantage of those more naive. I would not maintain a relationship with them. People can change, but not by that much.

These are not that serious of situations btw. Can happen to anyone. Especially over a span of 2 years.

Another fender bender?

First world fuckup.

Nah. You apparently dont find loyalty and honesty in enough regard.

Well, sounds like a whole lot like BPD on her part. Stay strong, choose more wisely next time.

These fuckups point that every generation is softer than the previous one.

Respect for owning your mistake
