Today, I got punched in the face after I beat my stepbrother at Mario Kart. I didn't really get hurt, but he managed to break a finger. My stepmom blamed the whole thing on me, accusing me of being violent and a bad influence on her son. FML

I've read a few Mario Kart fmls lately and I'm convinced that people need to stop blaming GTA for video game influenced violence. It's that sneaky italian plumber that's breaking families apart.

wow... sounds like your gonna have a rough time with the new stepbrother. Especially if he punched you in the face over a video game... Good luck!

This is the point where you need to make this clear to your dad. I have had some step sibling issues and unless you point it out in clear and non threatening language this behaviour will continue. I would suggest that you write a letter and explain that she is both allowing violence against you and then suggesting that it is your fault that her child cannot control himself. I would also be abundantly clear about that child not coming around you and if there is an issue, cite her words about being a bad influence on him. You are not required to interact with that awful little spaz if you don't want to.

Yet another case of one parent allowing a sibling to abuse the other. Parents really need to get their shit together about tolerating this sort of thing. Yes some friction and competition for resources between siblings is expected, but there IS a line between "sibling rivalry" and "criminal abuse" and hitting someone when they win a game lands on the abuse side, and the step mother is just as guilty as the step sibling.

if you are a minor and your stepbrother continues to be physical with you, and your stepmother and father ignore your cries for help regardless if he hurts himself hurting you, don't be afraid to contact your school counselor. sometimes adults need to hear something is not okay from another authority figure for it to sink in... sadly... OR if things get to the point you feel like your life is threatened.. don't be afraid to reach out to authorities. if you are close to being an adult and not a minor maybe a friend and their family will have pity on you and give you a place to stay until college or at least for a few days to escape now and then if you are no longer a minor most roads would probably lead to move out... unless.. your stepbrother is also not a minor...

Rule 1 of Mario Kart: Never use a blue shell when you're playing against people who know where you live.

No wonder he lost with those weak hands of his... u actually kicked his ass with your "face to fist style"

God, I hate hearing about terrible Cinderella-esque family lives... I'm sorry to hear that, OP. **** your step mom and brother. They sound like *****.

A stepmom is a "stepmom" after all....

I'm confused about how your finger was broken when your face was hit. Regardless of my understanding that, it's super shitty this is going on. I agree with the advice to tell your dad. I think it's more important that he knows his wife is mistreating you than the kid, although he should know of both. hope your home life improves.

And I understand the finger thing after re-reading the FML. Instant Karma!
