So sorry, OP. At least you got it back and it seems to run. You also get to refuse him any other help because he shit on you like this. You owe him NOTHING and I hope the rest of his family and friends learns from this incident as well. He's really fucked himself more than anyone. Let us know if he contacts you - I can't wait to hear what that asshole has to say!

Women don't make babies by themselves.

And you can't force a man to take care of his responsibilities if he won't do it on his own.

P.S. You and the pp you quoted are first rate bitches.

Sorry OP.

Good luck OP!

You take pleasure in trying to make others feel bad about themselves - that is far worse and more worthy of judgment.

FUCK.MY.LIFE.

He just returned the car. No, he SLIPPED the keys through the mail slot in my door (yeah I really have one of those) and so I ran out to check my car...There is a HUGE dent from the driver side door to the front tire and I had gas money that I had just taken out of the bank ($50) gone. I am so angry and hurt that I am literally shaking and burst into tears. My own brother is an asshole that stole from me and destroyed my property.

Also, I called the county to get his parole officer's name and number, earlier, and they said they had no record of my brother having a parole officer...I'm not sure how that is possible so I'll be calling again tomorrow.

Nanny here- My heart just breaks with this story. If I lived in DC I'd come babysit for free. I'm so sorry your brother is so selfish, I grew up with an ass of a brother as well and I know this must be so hard for you. I'm just amazed by you, single mom with two jobs and going to school?? You're a great example to your child, I'm impresed!!!!

Call the friends and tell them you reported the car stolen and that the police are giving your brother 24 hrs to bring it back before sending an alert. (They'll never know it's not true) Tell them to pass along that given he's so newly released, he might want to avoid another brush with the law so quickly. Maybe they can scare him into bringing it back.

Good luck. Get your car and then cut the ties. This leopard clearly isn't changing his spots!!

OP, praying for you and your DC. Please keep your good heart + hope in spite of this betrayal.

I too have a horrible brother, OP, who has done things to me I would never have expected because I love him. I finally, after many years, got to the point of cutting him off. I accept that I love him, but I can't let someone who hurts me be around me. Period, end of story.

Your brother is in a bad place, of course, and that's why he's taken advantage of you, OP. You sound like a good person with a generous, forgiving heart who is trying to do her best and believes in the best in other people. It's sad your brother has disappointed you, but it's admirable that you wanted to believe he would do the right thing. He may still return your car, so don't give up on that at least.

Two jobs and school and a toddler is more than most people can handle, so my hat is off to you. You will get this situation straightened out, and you'll get your car back, eventually. In the meantime, I hope you can get a friend to loan you a car, or at least transport you to work and back. p.s. don't even respond to the trolls. Some people can't resist kicking someone when he or she is down. people like that are needy, and you sound like you are on solid footing emotionally. Best of luck to you.

In addition to*your brother* being an idiot is what I wanted to say.

Anyway, I did talk to my girl friend and she is going to keep my son for me when I work so I wont have to pay a sitter. I got ahold of my parents and my mom is going to get me to and from work until I get my vehicle back. THANK GOD I take online classes or this would be so much worse.

I'll let you all know when the shit hits the fan.

Thanks for the support and advice, even from anonymous people, it helps.

They told me I "gave the car away" when I handed him the keys and the only way to get it back is by sending a registered letter to his address (which he doesn't have because he JUST got out of prison) and then he has FIVE days to return it. I am so angry right now I'm in tears.

Being a single mom is hard enough, now I'm a single mom with no transportation!!!! I work too far away to take public transportation and because I'm already struggling to make ends meet I wont be able to pay for daycare for my son AND additional transportation until I get the damn car back. FML

In addition to being an idiot, the law is just as idiotic. Fucking police.
