Context:

Dad remarried 9 years ago with a woman from a small town. She was a teacher and had a kid who was the same age as mine. They came from lower income families while my dad earns a pretty decent amount of money.

Since the beginning, her son constantly fought with me and was extremely manipulative and turned my friends against me. She was extremely controlling and took away nice things that I had like my iPad cause she was jealous her son didn't have them.

Over the years their behavior became worse. I eventually went into depression when I was 11/12 (was diagnosed much later) and stopped talking to both of them despite living under the same roof which isolated me further.

I once called Child Services on her but nothing happened cause we live in a third world country. Her sons problematic behavior started when we entered our teens. He objectified other girls and often used derogatory terms for them.

I had to take one year break from my education during high school cause of some other things that took place.

Current Situation:

That woman is a very orthodox religious Hindu who believes in purity and stuff. So I'm not allowed to cook meat or eggs in the house, hell im not even allowed to do anything in 'her' kitchen. I have to use a different glass to drink water and a different dispenser for salt.

Because according to Hinduism people who eat meat and are of lower castes are impure/inferior.

Her son's behavior kept becoming worse. He has multiple sexual assault/harrasment allegations against him. He gets high on weed every single day and he also does meth, mdma and other stuff. His mother doesn't know about this, only father does.

My father ignores all problematic things and tries to be a diplomat. We're close with each other. His solution for everything is to console his wife and give in to whatever demamds we (me or my step brother) make.

Ill be going away for uni in 3 months so thankfully this won't last long. I just find at funny that despite being around 19 and barely half her age I make more money than her.
