His Dad Berated Him For Declining To Let His Stepbrother Move Into His Home
One year ago, this 25-year-old man and his 24-year-old girlfriend purchased a house. Back in May, his 18-year-old brother graduated from high school and moved in with them so he could go to a community college located close by.
He and his girlfriend were both willing to allow his brother to be their roommate, and his brother is really thriving: he has new friends, a job, and is doing well in college.
Next year, his 17-year-old stepbrother is going to college, and now his dad and stepmom suddenly expect him to welcome him with open arms.
His dad didn’t know his own brother was moving in with him until the last moment. His dad was upset that he was discussing living arrangements for college with his brother, but not doing the same with his stepbrother.
“My dad and his wife married when I was 11, and my mom died when I was 9, so I lived with them,” he explained.
“For that reason, my dad feels like my stepbrother isn’t just a stepsibling but a sibling and should be given the same chance. I disagree, and I never thought of my stepbrother as my sibling.”
“To me, my brother was always my only sibling. We were close, and I’d spend time with him when I could.”
He’s never had that kind of relationship with his stepbrother, and he hasn’t spoken to him in the years since he moved out of their dad’s home.
His stepbrother was never the same as his brother to him. He’s also not close to his dad, so he just considers him and his brother to be family.

So this is why he declined to allow his stepbrother to move in with him. He pointed out to his dad and stepmom that they will have to find somewhere else for his stepbrother to live since it’s not going to be under his roof.
“Dad accused me of playing favorites and tried to berate me for it,” he said. “I told him I was happy to have my brother live with me, but he’s my only brother.”
He’s no longer picking up when his dad and stepmom call him, and he’s avoiding their texts as well since they’re only calling him names.
“My stepbrother also reached out and asked why I didn’t want to let him live with me, and he promised he’d work and help around the house like my brother,” he continued.
He’s left wondering if it’s wrong of him not to want his stepbrother living with him after he gave his brother that privilege.
