I'm sorry about your family. Here's my advice:

I know it seems weird for your step-dad for trying to bribe you with gifts, but you have to see it from his point of you. I think he just wants to win you over as this is hard for him. Although, he doesn't seem like the nicest guy for stuffing your cat in the freezer. As for your brother, I'm sorry to say, he's pretty much screwed. You might want to try therapy for him. Actually now that I think about it, you might want to send your whole family to therapy. Anyway, your mom seems pretty normal. She has every right to be worried about the baby and you, of course. It does seem like your brother is a bad influence. I hope this advice helps. I'll pray for you.
