Hard night...

Well, let us just say my brother has pulled his upteenth stunt, and we have to make nice to him until the proof comes in the mail.

What started as a missing item turned into a major discovery--evidence of which was found in old bruh-duh's room.

My parents and I were up a long time, trying to recover from the stress enough to sleep. All of us were up till at least three am, my mother till after 3:30, and I crashed sometime after 4. Slept until 10:30. To make matters worse, this had to happen the day before my mom's birthday, which is today.

I do not know what to do with my brother anymore. My parents either avoid the subject or tell me to stay out of it/stay neutral. How the heck do I do that? I live in it! I am tired of paying for my brother's manipulative stunts and lies.

I can not wait until the proof comes, but I am afraid my mother will try to compromise again--and I will not.
