[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 713205, member: 16024"] Hi Alex, So sorry you have a brother like this, and worse, that your parents enable his behavior. Call the police when your brother starts threatening you. That may dissuade him from escalating his behaviors. If he assaults you, he may be told to leave the house or go to jail. This alone may stop him from continuing to attack you. If the attacks continue, and your parents won't make him leave, you may need to find somewhere else to live. Many of us here, including myself, left home at 18 or before with little or no help from parents or anyone. It can be done. Think outside the box for your living situation. There are rooms to rent that cost little, utilities included. Find a roommate situation. Military. Work and go to school at the same time. Take out student loans if you must. There are jobs out there that pay decent without a degree. Moving companies need people to pack and move/load furniture and boxes onto trucks. Cable companies will train you and pay you while you are learning. Construction crews always need unskilled labor and you may learn some skills while doing it. Restaurants always need workers. Waiting tables can often earn good tips. Don't allow the abuse to continue. Be proactive. Please stay with us and let us know how things are going. It won't be easy at first, to stand up for yourself, but It will be worth it! Appl [/QUOTE]
