What should I do if my older brother abuses me?

So it all started in 2020 when I moved to other house because he insulted and beat me up, now he comes to that new house which isn’t far away and keeps doing the same thing, he beat me up today because I didn’t want to give him my phone. When I tell it to my mother she says we’re both bad and she will sell the house, please someone help me I don’t know what to do

Please go to the police today. You need help. Your mother is unable or unwilling to protect you. Maybe an older relative can take you in? Wishing you the best.

Probably be better off talking to a teacher once school starts. They are mandatory reporters if abuse is happening. Also there are tools at the school like counselors and potentially support groups that police probably won’t have.

Good idea, but this kid needs help NOW.

Need more details, but it does seem bad.

  • What do you mean by beat you up?
  • how old are you both?
  • what “other house” did you move to and who lives in that house?
  • who owns the house?
  • Why does he saying he’s doing this?
  • What country and state are you in?

without all these details, you probably shouldn’t take any advice here as there’s a lot of incomplete information.

Yeah that can’t continue. You need to let someone know how bad it’s gotten and that your mother won’t help you; a teacher you trust, etc. Next time, before it escalates very far if possible, call the police.

Yes, teachers are mandated reporters. They will be able to get the ball rolling.

What country do you live in?

NAL. Stand your ground and do not put up with him treating you this way. If it starts to get sexual, go to the police.

How old is your brother? How old are you? This sounds like a troll post showing the overreaction of an online audience to recommend the most extreme response because some vital details are missing.

Make this thing clearly know to the police.

Record it. Show it to authorities.

Abuse him back

The cops are unlikely to help you, wherever you are.

Instead, try social services, or a domestic abuse charity, they will be significantly more sympathetic and could potentially offer you support, or at least tools to try and deal with this situation.

The other thing is to protect yourself, go no contact or at least reduce it. It sounds from your short post that you are an adult and live in your own property - don’t let him in. If he has a key - change the locks. If he tries to break in then the police might help, try and gather as much evidence as you can (like a camera doorbell or other recording). Don’t answer any of his communication, if you can, block/delete him from all of your devices and social media. Personally, I would apply the same to your mother, that’s up to you, but it sounds like she’s at the very least enabling him, so isn’t looking out for your best interests, and you need to ask yourself if those are the kind of people you want in your life.

Life is too short to hang on to toxic people who harm us in the hope that they might change. Being related doesn’t make them worthy of your time energy or love. If they do eventually regret their actions and want to apologise and try to make amends, you can let them, or you can choose not to, both are valid.

Take care.

If he’s an adult you can call the police.

People have family members arrested all the time.
