Stepdad cheats on my mum, so we get revenge.

I moved in with my mum after her marriage of 25 years with my bio dad was ended.

He was a manipulative jerk, but that's another story.

Shortly after the divorce, my mum introduced me to her boyfriend at the time, Chris.

Now, my mum worked as a correctional's officer at the county jail.

Chris and I bonded a bit over our love of video games and all seemed well

That is until 2017

One day he didn't return and we all got a little worried. We then received the phone call from him,

from Texas. Turns out, when he arrived at the courthouse that day, he was jumped by the FBI.

His family from Texas was implicated on a number of gang and drug-related crimes and due to a

situation where he was in a vehicle during a drug handoff, he was on the hook as well. He ended up agreeing to testify against his family members in exchange for a shorter sentence

and he was allowed to be out of prison before the trial.

Soon after, the drinking started.

Now, obviously because of his DUI, Chris was clearly no stranger to drinking.

He began to drink more and more to the point where he was

consuming half a 24 pack of beer a day. Chris was a mean drunk. He regularly started fights when wasted,
