@vriska These three need to get some therapy. Mom should not have hidden the deed status from the step dad She also shouldn't have allowed the rent idea if she didn't agree with it. Step dad should not have pulled some alpha bullshit power play by trying to charge rent. That's not how family works. Son should not have retaliated by then charging them rent. Again, family. You don't stop assholes by being an asshole. Everyone sucks here.
