Hi guys. Just looking for some thoughts here. At 21 I moved to the US as an engineering exchange student from Spain. I fell in love with the country and I got into a relationship so I stayed. At 26 we broke up but by then I already had a job so I stayed. Fast forward to 30 (turning 31 in a month) I’m realizing that I’m not thriving here (working in tech in the Bay Area) and that im so depleted from being here without family for 10 years, grinding at my career etc. that I feel almost sick. I’m a shadow of the person that came here (I used to be so energetic and inspired). I miss my family so much and I’m ready to buy an apartment in Spain, have a more social and relaxed life. I can’t stand the thought of continuing to move so often and I can’t buy property in the Bay Area. I really need a break cause I’m so burnt out from life being hard here all the time but I’m scared that I’ll regret it once I’m back there. I also really want to have a family and meet someone and I feel that I’m so drained that I have no energy to do that here in the state I’m in right now.
I also have recently realized that I’m not as ambitious as I thought I was and I enjoy slow things like baking and painting so I’m wondering what sense it makes to be here but also Spain economy is not looking good so I feel lucky to be able to be here with a good job. But life is about being happy too right? Help!!
I’m so scared to make this big move at 31 because moving US to Europe is no joke so I consider it a permanent relocation.
Any thoughts?
Thank you so much!!

Main reason I chose matte was because I was told thatvit hides imperfections better for a newbie like me. The paint before my diy job was even worse so I say I'm quite happy with this. I'm just looking for ways to protect it, and I don't mind if the ceramic coat adds gloss to it. Also, how would it compare to a ceramic spray (like cherakote ceramic sealant)?

I expect you to die

Thanks for looking!

All about me below. But before that, NOTE: I Won't be writing what I need from a women but would rather disscus it. Everyone on earth is different and putting a set of bars, For the cutoff without knowing the other aspects of the human doesn't seem fare or mature to me. 🙃🙂
I'm a senior grad in university. So, most of my time is consumed with college stuff. I'm good in art (drawing, sketching, painting, paper craft, etc.) since birth. Its a God's gift for me. But I lack the talent of imagination to create new stuff. I'm just good in recreating something or making something heavily inspired by some other art piece. My goal in life is to have a stable life and stay with my family. I have been out of touch with my artistic side for quite a long time now due to my university studies. I want to work in a job which is either connected to sea or the sky(navy/aviation). I'm very passionate about it, hence, I'm doing a degree in engineering.
It's been time since I have worked on an art piece. But right now, mostly my sketches are focused or based on Gods. And drawing their new avatar (inspired by something). Lately I'm too much into Hinduism and the culture around it. Which has inspired me for a better way of living and a better human being overall. (P.S. I hate the place where my university is situated, and I Don't like the people either, hence I'm here)
I have tried to write whatever is in my mind right now, hoping to see you in my DM.
I'll keep rest of my words for later.
Now the ball is in your hand to shoot

So the last few years have been rough.
*note* if you're a "cheaters will always be cheaters type" tldr is don't bother reading or commenting
BACKSTORY 2019-2023 child nearly annual broken bones, lots of stress and specialist visits.
2018-2024 my wife got her associates as a medical assistant and is almost done with her bachelor's and final quarter internship while working full time and that has been hard for me. The lack of time for me and my son has really made an impact.
2019 I was injured at work and 2020 had my first surgery to try and preserve an ankle joint. That surgery ended up failing and while recovering I ended up mangling 2 fingertips in a wood jointer. 2020 I had to make the transition to a sahd on workers comp and have been since then. My lifestyle of hiking and fishing was upended because I could barely be on my feet 3 hours a day and uneven ground killed me not to mention the whole covid thing was pretty isolating.
All of 2021 was supporting her being a surrogate for a couple in City X (their egg/sperm). So, lots of trips checks and giving her injections. It was kind of proving myself to her because I was terrified when our son was born in 2017 and didn't help as much as I should have. Especially the first 3 months. Really, I didn't find out until later. We had conversations and fights at the time and id step up to do more and she would agree and tell me it was all okay. Then another fight saying I wasn't doing enough/anything and asking more and me being upset and confused. I guess at the time she was afraid to ask more, or tell me what she wanted, or her feelings, and the postpartum depression and initial feelings of abandonment didn't help.
Anyways the surrogacy went okay. I was there and supportive. Rubbing her feet and back. taking on extra load when she was tired etc. And hey I didn't pass out at delivery this time XD The end was a bit hard with 2 inductions needed and a massive 9.5lb baby and a stuck shoulder.
Then a few weeks after birth in November 2021 the nightmare began.
Out of nowhere she started hemorrhaging. She had to have an emergency D&C to stop the bleeding and scans showed a mass. Turned out the surrogate baby's placenta had some cells turn cancerous and attach to her uterus (Choriocarcinoma). 3 months later and the first 3 agent chemo failed, and her numbers were skyrocketing because it turned treatment resistant. They had to hit it with 5 types of chemo (EMACO) leaving future fertility a coin toss but more than a hysterectomy. By May 2022 the tumor marker was gone, but it was 6 months of intense monitoring and 6 months of monthly monitoring. The whole time she was in an intense spiraling depression questioning life. The meaning of all it, and how all her childhood trauma was fair. That no god would let a child live that. And questioning every decision in her life and wondering what things could have been like if she went a different direction. Feeling like she missed out on opportunities early in life. If this might be all there is (we have been together since she was 17). She said she felt like reality wasn't real and this was make believe at times.
Summer 2022 she made a new mom friend. She was pretty toxic and selfish. She used my wife for personal benefit and to go places. Yelled at her kids and treated the oldest from a prior marriage as less than (girl doesn't know her dad and when she mentioned she was part Mexican she freaked out and denied it because of how conservative and anti Mexican her new dad and his family is). Like never offered a dime, but expected food, gas, tickets, and gifts. She drove my wife nuts with that behavior. but she was desperate for a friend and loved her kids. Her friend would just talk shit about her partner pretty constantly and say my wife should be unhappy in her relationship too. Shit talking husbands behind their backs became like a mutual thing and I def hated it
Sometime 2023 she jumped into fantasy romance and fantasy smut /erotica. This progressed to an AI chat smut generator.
May 2023 monitoring was over and she was officially cancer free and had been on a health/mental health quest..
The mental health part started early in the year and she was seeing a therapist for depression and anxiety alone as well as her long list of childhood trauma. Off hand her therapist told her a few times she didn't know maybe just divorce me or something. I was super uncomfortable with this as it was completely outside her practicing scope and I didn't feel she should be providing relationship guidance, especially without me or the rest of the story. I felt a bit attacked and didn't even get the chance to give my perspective or account and felt that is pretty important after being here for a decade. A lot of negative points get omitted by her.
Summer 2023 she had some tough diagnosis for other chronic issues. Narcolepsy Dissociative Identity disorder Depression And a sleep disorder
I initially rejected this as I didn't want to accept these chronic and incurable conditions and insisted it has to be something else, that she's okay. It was taken as rejection of her.
Fall 2023 she reached out to a childhood ex bf a few states away and started an emotional affair. They kept in infrequent contact over the years and nothing ever came of it before. He has been unable to move past her or have meaningful relationships in 13 years. At first he pushed her away and rejected it, but after a month by Nov it was a thing. Texting saying I shouldn't worried because they dated before, but he ended up coming out as gay, calls in private, staying later after work. I gave it the benefit of the doubt but got burned. I found out in December the second time she wanted a private call in the car, and I checked her phone.
We started marriage counseling in Jan and I started my own therapy search as well as a condition of hers. She agreed to no longer contact the boy showed me the sent message ending it and blocked him. By Feb I found him listed in her phone as Saraa and found deleted texts and calls. In therapy she wanted to keep him as a friend and only friend and I tried this. She asked if a PO box would be okay for a birthday present, and I said no. That it crossed a line. It was also super close to Valentine's day. Next therapy I couldn't handle the anxiety and feeling physically ill when she used her phone, and we went through Jan again break off block etc.
In Feb the therapist recommended a separate space for conflict as we work on things. That too much conflict triggered her dissociative identity disorder. It was either a hotel as needed or a rv/camper. My wife was set on a camper and the only way to get a newer one was to add my credit/income to hers for a loan and I was uncomfortable on a $20k purchase. She assured me the intent of the camper was working on us and not separating/divorcing. She brought up me not having chores completely done all the time and I poured myself into it if that was making her unhappy over the years.
During this time in March I found out she got the secret PO box and had yet again resumed texting entirely deleting her logs. She had valentines gifts. birthday gifts, long distance electronic bracelets, and had an easter basket coming. Everything was put together into a box to be gotten rid of. That effort I had for chores and making everything spotless kind of died. Like there was that recognition that that obviously wasn't the problem. We lived completely separately for a few weeks until she could make a choice. We split our son and had almost zero interaction. Eventually she chose and I saw a notebook she used once in December. Basically she has started outlining a story envisioning herself as the lead character in once of her romantic fantasies and cast me and the other man as competing love interests
April and early may there was nothing. We did therapy and tackled our issues slowly. Together. Our future plans: college vs baby and the ticking clock of fertility and ifs after chemo. Etc
Last week she was going out for lilac picking and didn't text me for 2 hours and said she was at the beach. Later she showed me something in her email and I saw discord emails about a pw change and login. One bad gut feeling later and the next morning I see she deleted the discord emails and check our phone plan and her phone and see missing texts. I put in a phone record request for recent texts and text/call logs. She woke up and I said it did it and she said I was disgusting. Then admitted I was right.
She says after breaking it off she was worried he would hurt himself and just wanted to be sure he was okay and admitted to 3 texts and the discord call which i verified. Said that he was in therapy for his issues. She said she didn't want to bring it up to me because I would make it a fight and she thought she could just get away with a few texts to make sure. That she felt responsible for how much he had been hurt too.
So I did what I do with extreme anxiety and checked her work bag. I found an old journal they shared Jan to mid-march. Kind of confirmed again what was going on. Also revealed she lied to me about the trailer, or him? She couldn't get it without me and told him it was to work on separating from me easier. Yeah I kept pics in case this goes downhill because yeah, I'll gun for EVERYTHING. I'm sure that being tricked into signing a $20k contract under false pretenses for her personal benefit, secret po boxes, lying to our therapist repeatedly, secret texts, expecting gifts from the other man, career over spending time with family and a serious personality disorder on top of narcolepsy making a job hard to keep down wont do her favors at divorce/custody hearings.
So its all fresh for me again. I already have extreme anxiety and the autism doesn't help with reading/understanding people the best, although my gut intuition and pattern recognition are catching stuff fine.
WHERE I THINK I AM
Looking back, I can see that the personality disorder and narcolepsy are apparent. Dream delusion and memory issues from the narcolepsy make separating dream from reality hard as well as just recalling what happened. So whether not the "not feeling like reality is real" was a dream delusion or a full-blown dissociative episode... I can also see that messaging him was a "new" personality state. Maybe it's a manifestation of the trauma of nearly dying from cancer, maybe it's a fragment of her young identity that was created to survive her traumatic childhood resurfacing after nearly dying. But her interests and perspective massively shifted at that time and there was a clear separation between her with me and her with him. It was like this regression back to 15. Like she was molding an identity to fit his desires and interests. She took up tarot and witchy books, different music, painting, rockhounding (my interest), dried bouquets, dyed her hair and got multiple piercings. Even getting caught there was that click in her whole demeanor.
I can see how her friend may have jaded her towards me by all the shit she talked about HER husband. I can see that throwing herself into fantasy smut to cope flooded her with portrayals of unrealistic romance. That she progressed that by using an AI smut bot to hold those conversations with. Then she directly tried to process her own reality through the lens of those novels in that journal.
This "relationship" was "I love you, we can be together in 10 years". He wasn't going to leave his cushy job. Or his state. He didn't want to be a stepdad. He didn't want to support her career or have any involvement in it. She couldn't leave my state. Never saw illicit photos. No discussion of sex. It was like exactly what you think some lovestruck preteens would come up with. Like just a fantasy. No talk of bills or finances. Of moving. Of any substantial tangible entanglement.
Somehow that's easier to handle
I love her and don't want to leave her. But i desperately think she needs serious help and have told her I want her to do therapy 2x a month (on top of marriage therapy 2x).
I also think if a secret or deleted text happens again, I've got to take off the kid gloves and fight for it all. Cause well showing up at the dude's door would end in prison.
I'm sure this happening right as I fully got over last time and took a trust leap of faith on a "gay" friend that burned me will make it harder. I get the last few years have been garbage luck and I get almost dying can have profound affects though. She had been utterly loyal for 5 years (believe me I checked as we agreed to ie open book). Tying to see this with an open mind.
I get my exact expectations are muddy and part of this is just putting it into words to process for me, but I value if someone has any good input

I will cut to the chase. I graduated with a computer science degree in 2016. After my engineering, I joined my father's business but after 8 years, I am depressed. The money from the business is good but I don't get any satisfaction. I heard from a friend that data science openings doesn't require any previous experience as long as I have the knowledge. They even take people from other branches. I was kinda depressed that I will never get a chance to work in IT field and my life will be in a small City only.
Is there any chance I can overcome this gap. I booked a call with upgrad and they tried to paint a rosy picture about the job market.
Is it over for me guys and if not, what can I do to start. I don't care about the salary. I am ready to even work for free so I can gain any experience.

If yes, I’d like to know what pushed you to do so?!
I’ve had my 2022 MKII Int for a bit over a year, and I remember the rumours about the shotgun started coming out not long after that.
Since it’s release, it has grown on me a lot. Being a Canadian, in a world of cruisers and big bikes, the shotgun feels like the perfect in-between the Interceptor, and a cruiser bike, so naturally I was drawn to it.
I am currently seriously thinking about switching my Int for it, but I’ll be losing quite a bit on the transaction, and I’m wondering if it really is worth it…
Is the Shotgun really that superior to the Int, Quality-control wise, tuning, tubeless tires, paint job, etc? Is me losing money now on my int, gonna be worth it further down the road as the after-market opens up to the SG?
I’m really on the fence. My dealer has the bike, I could take ownership in 2 days…I can see myself riding the SG, but there’s something heartfelt about the smaller stature of the Int, and the chrome tank weighs A LOT in the balance, as it’s so unique and I’ve gotten so much attention for it from people. I don’t think I’d be hesitating so much if it wasn’t for the MKII version…
Anyways… if someone is in my situation, come forward! It would really help me!

The woke agenda depends upon a few factors:

• Shaming, guilting, bribing, or use of force to get others to buy in.
  
• Controlling one’s ability to openly speak truth.
  
• A group of individuals to paint as the enemy.
  

The woke agenda’s enemy of choice is the American Family—but deeper than that it’s the straight, white male. Western civilization is what the woke agenda looks to destroy, and unbeknownst to most it’s the very cornerstone of western civilization that the woke exploit—free speech. During tougher points in history, those pushing this crazy bullshit would’ve been labeled as mentally sick, and not given the time of day in most cases—but in the social media age their message can reach a larger audience at a moment’s notice.
Coincidentally, it’s that same principle of free speech which the woke are sometimes allowed to control. We have mayors openly playing the race card (Chicago and Baltimore) in major cities, and we have policies in place where criminal conduct such as illegal immigration and crimes up to and including assaults are going unpunished in some of the more woke-affected areas (think California, NY, and places with strong left leaning state and local governments).
For a woke agenda to set in, it has to be allowed to go uncontested—meaning they aren’t challenged by those of us who aren’t batshit crazy. Cowardly people allow stupidity and nut jobs like the woke to speak without any reality given back in the form of words that challenge. Stronger willed individuals fear nothing of being labeled or ostracized by these people whom most of us don’t want to associate with anyway.
In general, remember that we live in a western society that allows for freedom of speech. While the leftist nut jobs always seem to use that privilege our society gives them to spew hatred of the very society they benefit from and protects them, it’s often times that people who actually love and appreciate the society we live in who do not take advantage of that same privilege. I call on all who may read this to never apologize for being unapologetic in your values, and to never be silenced by those crazy individuals whom would wish to destroy the greatest standard of living at any time on this planet—western society.

Engaged 8 years- with him for 10 years this August. Long story short - it’s not good. Hasnt been for over 7 years tbh. I know ya’ll know what that means basically. We are both 49. Both never been married before our engagement 8 years ago. No kids. I am downright trauma bonded I finally see for the last 8 yrs tho. Sure there’s polite talk, literally that’s all it is. Polite talk until I “freak out and get emotional” by asking if we can have a date night or take a walk together. Because he is sooooo far away from me today and all I’ve been doing is questioning myself, trying to be prettier, trying to cook more, trying to not show hurt feelings when he’s dismissive or worholding….. It’s apparent to anyone in the room and I’ve had feedback from concerned friends over the years. Basically my friends arent fans - haven’t been for years.
Ok sorry- usual daily- he comes home from work. Says hi. I say hi. He shows enormous amounts of love to the dog then goes to his computer to social media surf. I make dinner he eats it and goes to bed. Thats our interaction every day unless I’m working. I’m an semi successful artist. (I pay my own bills, rent and run my own art studio, make enough to survive as I try to grow but def couldn’t do it without a supportive partner. Which he was supportive in our 2 year together. He knew I owned my own townhouse then, and bartended twice a week to make whatever ends my art didn’t meet at the time. I was pretty well known in our little downtown from bartending and having my art in neighboring restaurant in the community. We reconnected through fb messenger- he tagged me in a lot of bartending themed posts- we dated and a year later he sold his condo and moved into my townhouse. I was ready for my life long partner. After a year of co living, he proposed - we made plans to get a larger home together so I sold my townhouse, put 15k downpayment on it because I had the recent liquid cash and he didn’t- he just had the good salaried job to get approved for financing. fast forward to today- I am on the deed not on the mortgage. I pay cash to my “fiancè” every month to contribute this house we own together. After a year of giving him straight cash every month at his request, I asked if he would just give me some or all utilities so my name would be back out in the credit space. And he said no. I asked if we could get a joint account so I could put that monthly cash money in a “house” account where we would both contribute and pay house stuff from that. He said “sure, but not right this second”. That was always his answer to me - “Not right this second”. Basically I went from having my own place, utilities, mortgage, credit, etc and being madly in love with this guy (who I’ve known since highschool but we never dated, just always shared mutual crossovers/crossed paths a lot since 1995) to living in a house that only had my name on the deed. I worried I was a ghost in the credit space. Like the only thing he allowed me to put my name on was the trash pickup service. (He said he’d rather not get trash service and use his jobs trashbin… like wtf?). But said of if I wanted to get trash service then I could pay for that. Ahhh usual me- not a short story and I’m rambling. I’ve also had drinks. Just trying to give context. Ok- We never go out together. He goes to his BF music studio most weekends and stays til 3-4am. We haven’t had sex in over two years. I sleep in the guest room for the same amount of time. (I went there one night after a fight because he said he was tired of being my crutch and I need to contribute more financially and it literally came after him being silent/bad mood for a week and I would ask “Hey, did you have a bad day at work? What’s wrong how can I help?” He doesn’t talk to me about “feelings”. Anytime I ask to sit down and talk about how to fix whatever is wrong his response is ALWAYS and defensive curtness “I don’t want to talk about it”. So we just had one of these outbursts. Where I say “hey, what’s going on. Why are you being so curt with me? Talk to me” and he said “ya know what’s wrong with me? You owe my $1100 because you haven’t paid xyz and it stems back to August. “ I was floored because it’s just not true. But I give him cash and I guess that’s where I fucked up. Sometimes I get paid in cash for my paintings and when I do, I put it aside and give him that cash when it comes due every month. Anyway it blew up to me crying being confused and asking him why he didn’t say anything in August or September why is he bringing it up now. Why is he talking to me like a dog and to please stop and just talk to me about why he’s so damn angry. It ended up with him telling me he’s tired of being my crutch and we haven’t been “good for 5 years” and he wants to sell the house, get his money and live the life that he wants. And I pointed out that all I’ve been doing is trying to fight for us, trying to get us to be together and be number one for one another. And why if he knew all this and yet was still unsatisfied with me why he has kept me around for so long without communicating his displeasure with me. And he said - “Because you won’t leave”. It ended with me saying we can get a mediator or lawyer and figure out the easiest way to sell, split whatever we agree on and move on. Ot all just hit me that I need to let him sell this house and I will figure it out. This all happened Saturday. Jesus this sucks. Anyway- it blew up to where I said I’m done. I felt done. He clapped. I went to my room and have basically been avoiding being in the house when he’s here and just going to my studio until he goes to bed. Thing is he took off work today. Dont know why. So when I got up and saw his car out front, I went to the studio all day and worked late on purpose. Came home at 10:30pm- he usually goes to bed around 9:30 but was still in living room watching tv. I walked in and went to the kitchen and he instantly said “I’m going to bed you can have the tv” and I didn’t respond. He went to bed. I was getting iced tea out of the fridge when after standing there for a min- I smelled gas. I look over to the stove and the knob is turned slightly to the left as if you were about to ignite it. I instinctively turned it back to the off position but then kinda freaked out a bit. Like why does it smell like gas. And why was that knob turned. Literally the gas was seeping ever so slightly out enough for me to smell it after about 30sec drinking my tea. Am I just being paranoid? There is no evidence of cooking - I even checked the trash for leftover or scrapings of food. This took me forever to write. But I just felt I had to document this without freaking out my mom or my friends.

Is it just me or are Far Harbor and the Glowing Sea ironically the most beautiful areas of this game?
I think Far Harbor has a much more tasteful use of color than the base game. The base game has a tendency to coat most of the ruins in bright neon colored paint and silly designs while far harbor is all decrepit and ominous and heavily wooded. Also the fog and godrays are exceptional in the dlc. I’d go so far as to say Far Harbor has better graphics than 76.
The Glowing Sea really does a great job depicting a true “dead” wasteland. I may be biased because I prefer the capital wasteland to the commonwealth but it’s just to engrossing to explore. The atmosphere is great. Also, it has a great sense of mystery to it.

Selling this tack driver I got before my last deployment. It shoots sub MOA consistently with 77GR Black Hills OTM and grouped PMC XTAC 55gr really well! Only saw about 100 rounds suppressed with RC2.
Includes the Surefire Flash Hider, PRI gas Buster and the original case and books, stickers and targets Mark bundles with it. Some OD green patches remain but I was able to get most of my spray paint job scrubbed off. I know it’s higher priced but I bought mine after the Larue price hike ($1300) and need to make a few bucks back on it.
Asking for $975 shipped.
I can only accept Venmo or Zelle. No gun related notes. PM me directly. I will not reach out to you as to avoid scammers. Will have it shipped out no later than Thursday afternoon.
Also interested in a DBAL A3/ A2 if you have one.
Thanks!

Other than having an inspection done, how can an untrained potential buyer tell if a flipped house was done on the cheap? Would the timeline in which the flip job was done be any indication that it was done cheaply?
I’ve been house hunting for nearly 6 months and in that time have come across quite a few flipped houses that were flipped and relisted in just under four months, usually at double or more of the price they were purchased for prior to flipping.
Nearly all of them are awash in various shades of gray and black paint, most brickwork has been painted over and stained wood beams and sometimes stained wood shutters or garage doors have been added to the exterior. And it seems nearly all of the kitchens have been outfitted with Frigidaire appliances, which I assume are the cheapest, most basic models.
What are some things that stand out to you that would indicate shoddy work or a cheapo flip job?

Not sure where to begin but I've always suspected my younger step brother has undiagnosed autism with sociopathic behavior (speculation, based off his behaviors). Whenever someone SUGGESTS to my stepdad that he's a little bit off he gets very upset as if you are attacking him directly. For context, my brother does not really interact with ANYONE not even family, he never initiates conversation, if he does speak to you it's always 1 worded answers, he's always had trouble in school failing every year but is constantly getting moved up to the next grade (he is now in 10th grade, I've been noticing him failing since about 4th grade), he curses at my parents whenever they get him mad (he doesn't get disciplined in any way for being disrespectful, this is not true for my other siblings), he is not great with social cues and has inappropriate reactions to minor things. He spends most of his free time on his electronics, yes he is an iPad kid and my parents have never monitored his activity. He is the youngest of 5 kids.
The first time my nDad actually realized something might be wrong was the summer before he went to high school. My parents threw him a graduation party for finishing middle school. In hindsight, this party was for my parents and not for him because he was in his room the whole time and he would have never wanted a party anyway. Anyways the next day they see that he splattered black paint all over his room and wrote random things all over his walls (since then he does this whenever something gets him upset). My parents then ask me to find a therapist, which I was very glad to do because this should've been done years ago. I set everything up and took him to all his appointments (my parents were very hands off), his therapist at the time suggested getting him tested for autism and my dad did not receive it well. He then had a conversation with my brother where he "promised" to get out of his shell and be more outgoing within a years time. Again my nDad was STILL in denial, I couldn't believe it. Eventually the therapist ghosted us.
Fast forward to now, he is at risk of getting kicked out of school due to constantly cyberbullying his peers at school. He even got beat up at school because of it. The school reported him to the school board because he continued the cyberbullying after getting suspended for it a bunch of times. I simply suggested to my dad that he take away his electronics away because he is repeating the same behaviors, and he blew up on me telling me I don't pay the phone bill & that I need to get my life in order before telling him what to do. I then said I see why my enabler mom just stopped mentioning anything to him about this particular sibling and he lost it, threatening to kick me out the house.
I just feel bad because I feel like everyone is failing my younger brother and he is unable to get the help he needs and I am seriously worried about his future. I don't see him being able to be a fully independent adult, I cannot picture him having a job or going to college but my dad is always telling him he needs to be able to do these things, but where are the tools to help him get there?
TL;DR: OP suspects their stepbrother has undiagnosed autism with sociopathic tendencies. Stepdad denies issue, gets defensive when confronted. Brother shows signs like social isolation, school struggles, and inappropriate reactions. Despite therapist's suggestion for testing, stepdad insists on denial. Brother's behavior escalates, facing school expulsion for cyberbullying. Stepdad reacts defensively to suggestions for discipline. OP feels family is failing brother, worried about his future independence and lack of support.
