i'm 20. i agreed to let my brother "store some of his stuff" in my room after he got evicted for being too irresponsible to pay his rent. apparently my mom agreed to let him move in. and decided to let him sleep in MY room. so now i get off work and come home and find this smelly 30 year man sleeping in my bed or with his scandalous, tweaker friends over. his clothes have taken over my closet and he also invaded my desk and dresser drawers (which i had wrongly assumed would be off-limits). instead of finding another place or AT LEAST paying rent to my mom, he buys beer everyday. and not even cheap beer... he buys good, expensive beer. not to mention that my room smells like weed and sometimes tweak all the time. so he can afford beer and drugs, but not rent... he works a full time job and makes well more than enough to pay rent. and yet he borrows money from my mom and doesn't pay her back. his only expense is a car payment. where does his money go? i dunno, it's a mystery. to avoid confrontations, i sleep at my boyfriend's house pretty much everynight and come home pretty much only to shower and get ready for work. so then when i do come home, he starts lecturing me in front of my mom saying, "oh, you don't even care about the family anymore, you're never home. don't you care about mom anymore?" and it's like, "yeah, i'd come home more if you weren't asleep in my room all the time." the hypocrisy is that the few nights that i DO come home and plan to spend the night in my own room, he'll get home and say something like, "oh... YOU'RE gonna sleep in here? i guess i'll just grab a blanket and go sleep downstairs in the corner or something..." what the fuck? he tries to lay a guilt trip on me for sleeping in my own room? and then when i don't, he tries to lay a guilt trip on me for NOT sleeping there? and my mom sees NONE OF THIS. he's SUCH a momma's boy, it's ridiculous. she will take his side over anybody else and believe anything he says. which is not good, because to make himself look better, he tries to make ME look bad. he even told my mom last night that i do drugs (which i don't, and he knows it.) and is trying to convince her to kick me out because i somehow "don't have respect for the family". i'm 20, he's 30. and they should kick ME out. he said i don't respect the family because i "take advantage" by using my stepdad's car to get to work, and that i "steal" from them which was brought up by the fact that i took a bag of pistachios up to my room to eat. so apparently i "stole" pistachios. this shit is like from a fucked up sitcom. completely ridiculous. my family is insane. this is the end of the line... today is the day i start looking for another place to live. i wonder if anyone is gonna read this whole thing. i know it's long... i just wanted to vent.
I read it that sucks your brother sounds like a douche on the day you move out of there shit in his pillow case
