Okay will not say my age but I'm over 21 and so is my brother. He has always beat me in the past my my family would do nothing, when I would try to call the cops my family would stop me (unplug phone, lock me in the house so I could not get out. Now that we are in the same city again and he tried and my mother did nothing her concern was not for my safety but for she was upset that he was upsetting my younger sister and then prevented me from calling he cops again. He doesn't beat on any other woman but me (not my other sister, just me) but he says it's okay if he hits me and my family agrees. He didn't get to hit me this last instance because I locked myself in the bathroom. But decided that if he tried again if I couldn't get out that day I would go to the cops the next day and press charges even though my family will disown me. Do you think I'm right that he is abusing me? He beats me how a man would beat another man.

You should never have let it get this far - I know it's water under the bridge now, but by no means let this continue!!!! Make sure that if he beats you again, it will be the LAST time!! HE NEEDS TO BE ARRESTED AND GO TO JAIL!! He does not see the wrong because your "parents" never told him it was wrong! I am in shock that your parents condone your brothers sickness - THEY should be held responsible for not stopping this YEARS ago! IF ANYONE in your "family" (makes me ill to give them that title - they don't deserve it) gets upset or disowns you for pressing charges on your brother, TOO BAD!! If they never forgive you, believe me, you would be much better off without ANY of them. This situation is VERY wrong, very twisted, very sick. You cannot see how bad ALL of them are yet - you will, but you need to disconnect from them first. NEVER, NEVER, NEVER is it OK for an man to beat a woman, relative or not!!!!! STAY AWAY from ANY situation or place where he can trap you - if he does hit you, RUN as fast as possible, and do whatever you can to get the police on him IMMEDIATELY!! Tell the police this is OK with your parents as has been going on for .... years. Also, your younger sister is at risk - just not yet. PLEASE PRESS CHARGES!!! DO NOT LET ANYONE TALK YOU OUT OF IT!!! THIS IS THE ONLY WAY TO INSURE YOUR MESSAGE IS CLEAR!! YOU ARE NOT ANYBODY'S PUNCHING TOY!!

Call the police as soon as you can even if you have to wait until the next day. Call them and say your family unplugged the phone and you were trapped inside the house. This is a serious situation.

I don't know what world he lives in, but in the REAL world what your brother is doing is called ASSAULT.
If your family will not support you (and you currently rely on them for food, shelter, etc) then please, seek out a woman's crisis shelter. They can get you help, counselling, legal advice on how to deal with this abusive bully!
Do NOT tolerate even the threat of violence. You may need to get a restraining order against your brother - that is, a legal document that says if he gets within 100 feet of you, he goes to jail.
He thinks he's not being abusive because SOMEBODY has convinced him it's OK to beat on his sister. I wonder who could have done that?

What your brother is doing to you is definetly not right! Call the police whether or not he beats you again. He's done enough already.
I have no idea why your family would condone such behavior. There is something seriously wrong there and it's not you!

You have a very strange family that lacks compassion and any common sense. I would disown them before they disown YOU.
Call the cops on his a.ss, he needs to learn his lesson. He probably will go on and beat his wife and children in the future too.

Yes, that's abuse, assault, etc. Do not tolerate this behavior from him no matter what your family says. Call the police and report him immediately!

it's a shame that your family accepts this kind of behavior from him. call the cops if he does it again, and get as far away from him as possible.
