Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : - [ ] A long story but I’ll try to make it as short as possible. BACKSTORY: I am 41 years old. I live on a ranch with my significant other and 3 kids in a house adjacent to my elderly parents house. I’ve lived here almost all my life, except when I went away to college and when I moved away about 8 years ago which lasted only a year because my elderly father was diagnosed with leukemia so we moved back to help with the ranch as he had no other reliable help. I am the oldest child of my siblings and am adopted. My younger brother is currently 31 and is too adopted. Also my elderly parents have raised my three foster sisters whose current ages are 27,29 and 30. They have been in my parents care since birth-3 months. I still consider them family and am in contact with daily. My adopted brother is a complete mess but my mother completely covers up, sticks up for and will defend no matter what he does. He has molested my younger sisters as they were growing up. I was just made aware of this some years ago because this happened when I was away at college. My sisters told my mother repeatedly but she did nothing and continued to let it happen. My dad was a rancher and trucker so he was away and working a lot so when my sisters told my dad, my mom diminished their concerns and explained it away. Sadly as adults my 3 sisters now have emotional, substance abuse and psychological problems. As the years gone by my brother has stole anything and everything from my parents and has pulled a gun on my significant other while high and subsequently went to prison for 2 years. This incident caused a major rift between my mother and I as I was the one who called the police. My brother also has fathered 3 kids with less that desirable partners so all 3 kids have been in the care of my 80 year old mother and 77 year old father who thankfully is still with us but still has weekly chemo treatments. The only reason my family and I have stayed this long is for my dad. My mother is very domineering in their relationship which explains why my brother was never held accountable for his actions. My mom always says my brother has problems and needs help. The oldest of my brothers children is 12 years old and has anger and other psychological issues. While in my parents care, only went to school when he wanted because my parents could not get him to go. The 12 year old charged thousands of dollars on Xbox to my parents cc but was not punished as my mother just said “he was bored” I have called CPS dozens of times but nothing was done. The 12 year old started killing animals but when confronted, he would run to my mom (his grandma) and nothing would be done. The 12 year old had also showing signs of physical and verbal abuse towards my mom when she would not take him to Walmart or she would not do what he wanted. My mom would have broken glasses or mysterious falls all of which were explained away by her. I have no idea how long this had gone on as I was busy with my own life. Where my brother (12 year olds father) was I have no idea. I was only made aware when the abuse as it started to be directed toward my father. AITA MOMENT: One evening this past September my father came running to my house, telling me to call the cops. My husband was away at a work conference so I was home alone with my kids. I asked what was wrong and my father said “ 12 year old is losing it over there” I immediately called 911 but we live rural so I knew it would be awhile so I made sure my kids were safe in their room watching a movie and started to walk next door with my dad. The 12 year old met us on my parents porch and started making physical threats toward my dad and cursing repeatedly. This isn’t the first time the 12 year old has done this in but every time he has had an outburst my mother always excused his behavior or said she would get the 12 year old help. These outbursts were becoming more frequent and I knew they would continue. There was also a 6 year old and 2 month old (the other 2 of my brothers kids) in my parents household when this was going on. I then took out my phone and recorded the 12 year olds behavior towards my father. The police finally showed up about 45 min later but my mom said there was no problem. I had wanted to to show the police my video I had taken but I had to get my kids ready for bed so I missed my chance to talk to them. The next day I forwarded the video to CPS and the 12 year old was swiftly taken to a juvenile detention center. He is still there(about 2 months) as the authorities have been having trouble finding a place for him. To say my mom was upset was a understatement. Her anger did not bother me as much because I have let go of that relationship years ago but her behavior towards my dad is what hurts. She will not talk to him for days and is verbally abusive when he does not want do exactly what she wants. He helps her take care of the remaining two children in the house as much as he can. Why CPS has not removed the children is beyond me. This video incident happened in September and it’s almost December and my mother is still very angry. AITA for turning the video in?
