Need advice..

[Neal]

Im an adopted child. My grandmother fostered me since I was 7 days old. She tried to adopt me when I was older, but they told her she was too old. Basically she got her daughter to adopt me so they could keep me:

My grandmother is a wonderful person, but hates confrontation.

5 years ago she let her son, his wife and 3 kids move into her basement. Since then, they broke up and his wife and two kids now live in town.

Her son is a despicable person. He claims he can't work because he hurt his neck. The government gives him over $1500. He doesn't work, just sits downstairs, plays video games, watches tv, and smokes drugs and cigarettes.

He has no respect for my grandparents. My grandfather is 87, and his health is failing. No one in the house smokes other than him and myself but I go outside. Grandma even had a doctors note saying the smoke isn't good for my grandfather but he still continues.

He makes my grandmother buy him food, smokes, and he uses her vehicle, on HER gas. He doesn't do anything around the house.

He comes upstairs and drinks all the coffee she buys for the Kerig. He doesn't buy any, but drinks all the ones she buys for papa.

He's even physically attacked his brother when Kirk (the brother) was drunk. Which resulted in Kirk falling down a flight of stairs.

He has a 16 year old daughter who lives with him. She's basically his slave. She cooks, cleans, and looks after him. He pays her back with alcohol and drugs.

Yesterday he came after me. Told me I'm trash, I'm useless, no one loves me and they all feel sorry for me. Says I'm fat and lazy and threatened to beat me.

She heard everything and did nothing.

I'm at the point where I just want to leave. My dilemma is that he will be able to continue using her without having someone there. He truly believes its HIS house.

I don't know what I expect for a response. I guess I just need to vent. I'm stressed, and angry.

First off, I'm sorry to hear this. That sucks and hopefully I can give you some kind of idea at least.

What I would do is call the cops and tell them that you think he's selling/making drugs and he threatened to do you bodily harm if you said anything, and make sure that you say you feared for your life, that exact wording has a way with law enforcement. When they come and search his room, they find drugs, hopefully it's something besides weed or enough of it to convict him. Now while I don't really deal with the cops because honestly the law is ignorant most of the time, I am however a Correctional Officer. I'm sure I'll catch hell for that, but you know what, if you can get him out of that house, and away from them then it was worth it. Best of luck man.
