I'm upset.

My brother is probably getting a job in Japan, and so he will be moving there. He drives an extra car that my mom doesn't use, and since we all expected he would move soon, my mom said that I could have the car when he leaves. Both my brothers have cars she bought, and I really need a car. So when I found out he was leaving, I asked if I would still get the car. Well, she is thinking about giving it to my 16 year old step brother, who has no interest in getting a driver's license! I am upset because first of all, my mom said I would get the car. Second, my step father and step brother's mom have lots of money, and can easily afford to buy their kid a car. And, he isn't even interested in getting a license yet! My mom and step dad have separate bank accounts and separate everything becuase my step dad doesn't want to share his money. He is wealthy, but my mom is selling her beloved house because she is in debt from paying her medical bills. She can't stop working because she wouldn't be able to get health insurance without, but her doctors are telling her she CAN'T work. So if everything is so separate between them that he won't help her with her debts, house, or medical bills, why is she giving his kid her car, that she promised me?
Another step in the pattern:
When HIS dog bit my daughter in the face, my mom payed the medical bills out of HER bank account, even though it was his responsibility and I could have sued him, but didn't to avoid strife. And he kept the fucking dog, even though my mom is afraid of it. She has serious physical problems that are aggravated by stress, and he keeps a vicious dog in the house! She even gave him an ultimatum that she was going to leave and when he basically chose the dog over her she backed down. He is such a soft spoken "nice" guy, it pisses me off!!! GRRRRR!!!
Sorry for the novel, I am just so pissed! What a fucking wolf in sheeps clothing. I never trusted him ever since noticing that his wedding vows to her sounded like a business agreement, while hers sounded like a damsel in distress who finally found her knight in shining armor.

I'm sorry that you (and your mom) are going through so much right now. About the car, maybe you could ask her if you could use it at least until your step bro gets his lisence. I am so sorry and I have no advice about your mom, because I have never been in your situation and it doesn't sound like there is much you can do about it.
