I just want to make this post because i think it's good to make a point about how the world actually works and i don't like leaving things under the false impression that everything ended up being okay.
The last five months of 2018 were the worst months of my life because of everything that happened with my brother and me being disowned by my family, my family's friends, and many other people who I thought I knew/respected.
I ended up getting my documents back without too much trouble but after that everything has been a loss. My brother was not really punished in any substantive way. My parents have endeavored to protect him and he basically got something on the level of probation no jail time. He was fired but has been hired again with a much better job with a small private company because (I'm told) of a connection with a colleague. He (or my parents but I think him for various reasons) had various people call me up from unlisted numbers with vaguely threatening messages calling me a whore or just breathing on the phone until I had to get a new number. Rumors have been spread about me to the point where I don't feel comfortable even talking to nice people I knew because I'm afraid they'll judge me based off things they've seen that aren't true. I still am not going to be able to go back to college this semester because of personal and financial reasons and I basically have lost all my friends due to either personal insecurity, severe depression, or the rumors. I don't leave my house outside of work and I'm not taking care of myself in the way I should. Very grossly thin and pale (working on getting better though) and i've been having very terrible dreams about going to hell and burning alive forever which are driving me crazy. I'm not going to do anything dramatic but mentally I'm not where I need to be.
I'm not trying to make this a pity party, and I acknowledge that I'm a big part of the reason this happened (in the sense that I'm not handling it in the most productive way), and I'm not asking for help (I have a shitty job that allows me to stay alive fine, just having trouble getting to school, which I think I'll be able to start again this summer) but I want to emphasize how fucked up the whole system is. This is the second time in my life I've been put in this position and my first time as an adult and someone trying to report it and either way I have been screwed, lied to, and watched the person who ruined my life get away and live happier ever after.
Nobody cares about people who get violated and I understand why they don't come out and report. It's all rigged.
My brother, his girlfriend and my parents are almost two week long Hawaiian cruise right now smiling and laughing and i'm in my apartment still unable to sleep right because of all this. Happy new year enjoy your cruise hahaha what a cool picture of water slide XD!
Again, thanks to this community at the least. It was a big help in the early stages when I needed to get my thoughts together, and I really appreciated it. I hope everyone who was cool about it gets the type of life they deserve. Really thank you.

If I were the brother's employer, I'd want to know about his wildly unethical hacking.

If there is anyone who deserves a Count of Monte Cristo level revenge, it's this person.

If the LAOP is reading this, most public libraries will provide a notary service. I had to go about getting my birth certificate recently. Don't sign the form to get a new certificate until the notary tells you to.
