So I made this post about three weeks ago and the tldr is that my (17) creepy older step brother (23) started university near me and was tagging along and bumping into me all the time and when told to stop, just started following me instead.

A few days ago I posted this overall positive update. Tldr is that I went to the police and although they weren't at all interested, my step brother failed his first year of uni and was forced to quit and has since moved back home several hundred miles away.

First off I just wanted to say thanks again, cause everyone here has been really nice and supportive and overall just cool people.

I won't say this is a happy update, but it is a positive one. I mentioned that after my step brother failed uni his mum was kicking up a storm and blaming everyone and everything other than him for it. Well on Friday, probs about the time I made the post, my step mum had actually driven (sans step brother) all the way to the university, raised hell in subject department and the main office and had to be escorted away by the porters twice before she left (only due to threats of the police).

We all had a lot of laughs reading her rants and raves on FB over it. And my Sister, who goes to the same uni (and miraculously managed to avoid getting stalked or even really contacted by our step bro) knows someone who is doing a PhD in the department the evil witch harassed and who saw it all happen, so we've had some extra fun and laughs over that.

The positive news is that my step mum has kicked my dad out and is in the process of filing for divorce. He told me himself this morning that he moved out over the weekend and has been staying with his brother since.

Even though she primarily blames me and my Sister, because we're not there and won't engage in her phone calls, our dad has been getting the brunt of it. We're his daughters so therefore he's also to blame, despite the fact that he had nothing to do with our upbringing and has barely been a presence in our lives, the last 5 years of which has been largely down to her anyway.

I don't wish the man any ill-will and I hope this gives him the opportunity to be happy in life. I'm just happy as it 100%, absolutely means that I will never, ever have to deal with that creepy little turd of a step brother or his horrible, spiteful shrew of a mother.

Once again, thanks for everything. I thought people might be interested in a little update because both my posts seemed to have been read and upvoted a lot. Hopefully I'll never have to make another post here again!
