Dom Violence My Brother Is At It Again, And This Time, He's Crossed The Line

I can't believe this bullshit. Things were going at least smoothly. And then, all of a sudden, this psychopath comes back.

I tried sleeping last night, and I was real, real freaking cranky. My brother has a child and his GF live in the house, and every damn night they are really, really loud, and I have to sleep early. I kept reminding them many times to please, hurry up with the shower and go to sleep, as it was approaching midnight (oh, and it was Sunday, of all nights). Apparently doing this was crossing the line for my brother.

I'm so f*cking lucky to have locked the door, because he was banging on it really, really f*cking loud. I tried to tell him to stop, as he would break the door. He didn't care, and kept knocking with a force. He threatened to physically beat me and even kill me, and his behavior of knocking at the door violently meant that my life was legitimately in danger. He's 24 years old, by the way, and I'm only still 17. He has abused me enough times before, but this was special, because by this time I'd realized all the bullshit he did in the past, and how his behavior was incredibly psychopathic, and how he'll never change.

I cried all that night, because for once, someone actually made an attempt at my life. That was the first time where I felt I was in very serious trouble, and I mean really, really serious trouble. My mom arrived later that night, and she tried to talk to me, but I wouldn't say anything. My sister arrived too late that night to even understand what the hell happened.

There have been a number of red flags; my brother threatened me earlier that week because my dad ranted about his past as an abuser (I told my dad about what had happened in the past), and I feel that my dad knowing was going to put him in serious, serious trouble. Last night he threatened to take and destroy my laptop; take note, my laptop is essentially a very, very important lifeline. Without it, I'm toast. He's trying to prevent me from speaking out about it, or else, he'll end up in jail.

I understand that he's a huge provider for the family, but I should suffer in anxiety, fear, abuse, and even the potential chance of death in exchange for a roof over my head. I'm considering filing a domestic abuse report (or whatever) and informing my psychiatrist. This has gone way too far, and I'm tired of suffering because of him. I don't care if we lose all the income he provides; he should've been put behind bars a very long time ago (it's gotten to a point where my dad dislikes him as much as I do, and my mom has become apathetic about his complaints about me).
 
First off, *hugs* if you want them. Second, I'm all for you filing and informing your psych, but you just have to be aware that if the charges don't stick or something like that, you could be in even more danger. I too have experience with this sort of behaviour, so feel free to PM me if you need to talk!
 
I'm sorry you had to lock yourself in your room to be safe. Home should be safe. I'm glad he didn't get your laptop and he sounds like he wouldn't compensate you for any damage he feels entitled to dole out. File at least a restraining order if he hasn't done anything yet to be arrested for. Don't forget that there are domestic violence agencies that can support you through this very scarey road. I've been there with my family, my siblings and father were extremely abusive to me. I left for college at 17 and never went back. I hope for your sake your family takes your side. And this guy has a child??????? Yikes.
