What do I do about my brother's girlfriend?

This is going to be a little long because I am also venting. My brother has been with this woman for 8 years. She moved into the house that has been owned by my family for over 45 years, right after I moved out. This woman gives *itch a whole new meaning. She has driven a wedge inbetween my older brother and other members of my family. I recently had to move back in with my 11 year old son because I lost my job and am having to fight for unemployment. We live in a room that was built onto the patio years ago. I understand that she is the only one working and paying bills and I am grateful. But that doesn't give her the right to act the way she does. She locks the door at night a lot, I've had to pee in the yard and so has my son. I have to do laundry when she forgets to leave stuff in the machines. She hides my mail sometimes. She says horrid things to me, which I put up with to keep the peace. Recently she decoded it was ok to talk to my son like that. Last night she started in on him for taking a shower when they were all having dinner. He came to our room crying. I wanted to rip her head off. I've said something to my brother. He's said something to her and she will stop for a few days but then starts again. I'm going to have to say something but I have a feeling she will do something nefarious. But I will NOT put up with her doing this to my baby. I do help out around the house and when I do have money I hand it over to my brother. Any advice?

    The best thing you can do is get another job and move out on your own. She is your brother's wife and is in control. You and your son are infringing on HER life and she isn't too happy about it. If the situation was reversed, you would be the" *****" doing what ever you could to get them out of your house so you wouldn't have to support someone that does not respect you. Remember the old adage "Beggars can not be Choosers". Good Luck
