Their Favorite Child Destroyed Them

Summary

Not long after my wife and I got married, my mother-in-law unexpectedly had another child, a son.

The entire family treated him like a miracle and let him get away with everything. Before long, he became an unbearable little monster.

When he was ten, he pulled up a girl's skirt at school and yanked down her shorts.

I confronted him about it, but my wife immediately turned on me.

"He's my brother, not your son. What makes you think you have the right to discipline him?"

I kept my anger to myself and moved out with our daughter, who had been growing more withdrawn by the day.
