Dear Thelma: My 12YO brother terrorises me and my sis, but our parents side him

I am so frustrated and confused that I really do wish that he would attack me so badly that I enter the hospital so I can actually tell people to get him away from me.

As it is, your brother has learned that violence is an excellent way for him to get whatever he wants. He escalated from childish tantrums to beatings. You, your sister and your mother are regularly attacked and injured. As the adults did nothing to stop this, he is now using weapons. Your mother was injured in a knife fight.Ideally, your parents should have reached out for help some years ago. However, they have taught your brother that it's OK to hurt others.

Parents first. It sounds as though your parents are unhappily married, and your mum wants to leave. That is something they can address together. However, they have children and that job comes first. Whether they split or not, they must parent together. Next, you. Whatever is going on, your brother is your parents' job. You are out of it; leave it to the adults.

Understand this will not be a quick fix. This problem has been festering for years, and it won't be helped overnight. You need to talk this out, to understand what happened and how it affects you. Probably, you will also need help with boosting self-esteem and healthier relationship patterns.
