[quote=Anonymous]My stepbrother and his wife have been extremely rude to my mom and stepdad for a few years now. They didn't let them see their two kids. My stepbrother has acted like a total jerk. I got a text from my mom saying that he is living at their house in the finished basement as well as his two kids. My mom has an 8 bedroom house. I am currently living in another country and have to go back to the states to apply for a visa and then will leave again in 5-10 days or when the visa is processed. She tells me that I should stay in a hotel instead, as things are "highly tense and stressful" in the house. Let me just say, my entire family causes me a lot of stress. It's a highly chaotic family situation. I'm the youngest of 6 siblings and step siblings and there is so much favoritism and clique type of behavior. I can't stand it. I'm highly sensitive and I just want to run away from all of it.

My stepbrother's wife is staying in a hotel. I'm not sure what is up, but she hates my mom and stepdad... and I find it highly weird that she isn't with the kids. Apparently, he took the kids to my parents house and she stayed behind at their house in another state and then came to the state my parents are in afterwards and is staying at a nearby hotel. She has said some really horrible stuff about my parents to me thinking that I would engage with her in that conversation. I didn't reply at all (it was via email).

I just find the whole situation weird and I'm hurt that my mom would do that to me. I feel like I don't even have a family in the states after this. It's really f*cking upsetting. My stepbrother has treated them like dirt, but they would go to the ends of the earth for him. I said to my mom, "Well I hope I get to see you" and she said "Yeah, we can get together." Mind you, I won't be back in the states for a year and a half after this.

1) What should I do?
2) What do you think sounds like is going on with my stepbro? It kinda sounds like divorce to me. I can't imagine why they would be living separate with her in a hotel. My mom also said that "he" is trying to sell "his" house (not "their" house). Foreclosure? Why would a couple just up and leave their home completely and go to another state before it's even sold? Also, he is living/working from home in my parent's basement! Wtf.[/quote]
