Enmeshed, overprotective mother. She tried her best to make me her mama's boy. She kept taking showers with me until almost 11 years old. She would cry in front of me and expect me to comfort her. She chose my clothes and made me wear huge, ugly eyeglasses. She showed up at my primary school to confront my bullies, making things a lot worse. Even in middle school she showed up without my permission to confront teachers she thought gave me unfair assignments. In adulthood, she would be the happiest for me when I was the most miserable with a corporate job and an abusive girlfriend, because it looked good, but she showed concern and fear whenever I tried to break away and better myself. She would talk to everyone about my failures to gather sympathy, and deny the humiliations she caused.

Weak, submissive father. He is the mother's enabler. He was too happy I was there to get her off his back. He would get red with rage against me whenever I called out my mom's BS. The only reason he never beat me physically is she wouldn't have allowed it. But he did let my five year older brother do it when I was a child. He would say "please stop", but in a tone so weak it's as if he wanted it to keep going. At 14 years old, it's my mom who taught me how to shave while he was in the next room watching TV. One morning at 7:10am when I was half asleep before going to school, he said he wanted to disherit me. I said nothing. I just thought: "Fine, there won't be anything left anyways". He embezzled my inheritance money from my grandparents to finance my brother's downpayment. They did give it back in the end, but I had to beg for it. The only reason I think he gave me my money is because I had my own job and girlfriend at the time. Yet, his response was: "I guess I have no choice".

Entitled, sadistic older brother. He wouldn't miss an opportunity to dismiss me in front of others, even attack me physically. I was five years younger and couldn't hit back. One time we were giving a speech in front of the whole extended family; he grabbed to script off my hands when he decided it was his turn to speak. When he was 14 years old, he was sent to Europe for many weeks for summer vacation. My summer vacation at 14 was being dragged at the backseat of our parents' car to visit places I had zero interest in. I thought relationship would improve in adulthood. When I took time off my STEM degree to visit him to congratulate him for his new house, first thing he said was "Shh! baby is sleeping" before hello. When I asked him about the computer code I had helped him with, he said it was totally useless. When I asked more details, he said "Stop arguing" and he followed with a smirky, satisfied "Why are you shaking?". When I confronted him about treating me like shit after everything I did for him, both parents tried to change topic. Soon after he left the room because -->I<-- "made the baby cry".

It's the last time I ever saw him. Later I quit my soul crushing job, put everything in Bitcoin, and immigrated to another country. Today I am 40 years old and retired. My parents are going to run out of their reversed mortgage money and will have to move in with my brother's family. None of them know where in the world I am. I deleted my last known email address last year. I heard through a trusted friend my mom hired a PI to find me. They are desperate without their scapegoat , turning against each other, while I am riding my motorcycle in the mountains on the other side of the world totally free.

In late February I was taking advantage of a warm day to sunbathe on my balcony. It was 1:30pm and I was laying down on a gym mattress, looking up. From my point of view the sky was unobstructed from a 20 degrees angle to the right (East) to a 40 degrees angle to the left (West) from zenith. The sky was clear.

I saw an object moving from left to right in the sky. It was moving to the right at a fixed speed and direction, without leaving a trail. It looked metallic, shining a bit when reflecting sunlight. It's difficult to estimate the size and distance, but it was certainly below airplaines' altitude, maybe between 1000 and 4000 meters. Supposing it was that high up, it looked like the size of two cars. It was also difficult to figure out its exact shape, as it was rotating on itself, maybe even transforming its shape. It looked round and allongated from one side, like an egg, but it looked flat when turned around, a bit like a sunflower seed.

What is very strange is the way it rotated on itself. While its movement through the sky didn't change, it's spin was erratic and unpredictable. Its rotation speed changed and reversed many times at irregular intervals. Its rotation axis pointed to different directions and different speeds unpredictably, too.

About halfway through my field of vision from the balcony, it also started to move to the sideways (up and down from my point of view while still going right steadily), maybe changing altitude too. These movements looked random while the movement to the right kept the same fixed direction and speed.

I live above a populated area, near the mountains. There is strong military presence around. I can't be the only one who has seen this object in the sky in broad daylight, and the military must have detected it. But I have no idea what it was. It had no wings, no trail, and it behaved unlike anything else.
