My brother keeps threatening me what should I do?

Question

Like hes always saying I'm going to crack your skull or he puts up his fist like hes going to hurt me and tonight he even said I hope you die in your sleep. I'm scared to be home alone with him what should I do?

Answer 1

Please talk to your parents.  It is never acceptable to threaten others.  It's called violent verbal abuse.  He needs to learn another way to communicate.  It's very normal to have sibling rivalry, but your parents can enforce the boundaries of your relationship with him.  I am sure he would not be allowed to say it to your parents.  If it's not acceptable to say it to them, then he can't say it to you either.

Good Luck to you!

Answer 2

call the police already.

otherwise you will end up killing him, and that is just going to create a lot of trouble for you.  we both know he has it coming, but you don't need the interogations, and legal charges that are sure to follow.

If you report him, he'll be the first suspect when anything happens.  Don't let him think you are scared. Let him know you are doing it for his own protection.  I'm serious.  Sooner or later  you are going to snap and crack his head open.

Answer 3

Speak to your parents or your teacher. It is very wrong to have to put up with this sort of behaviour ,the police would also help you,but don't just leave it ,sort it out now be brave you do not need proof to get advice and it is good to have a understanding adult to support you and the police have officers who deal with domestic violence and threatening behaviour .Sorry you are going through such a hard time x*x

Answer 4

first you don`t say how old you or how old your brother is?also to give you a more detailed answer you need to give a bit more background information.but often when a person bullies someone(and that is what your brother seems to be doing to you)it`s usually mean they are being bullied themself somewhere down the line.not that that is an excuse for your brothers behavior but maybe if you try to find out what or who`s behind your brothers behavior and help him to deal with it it would help your situation.is he being picked on or unfairly be-handled by someone in your family or a school?do you get treated differently to him by your family and others?could he be jealous of that these are all questions you should ask yourself to try and understand why he is like he is.when you can better understand the reason for it it makes it seem less threatening and maybe you would then be less scared of the situation and then you take a bit of the control away from him.your brother likes to get a reaction from you,it makes him seem bigger and stronger in himself and that why he does it .if you take this feeling away from him that he is not so big not so strong and that you are not afraid it puts him on another level.remember if he is being bullied by other people how he is making you feel is how they are making him feel and to try and get rid of this feeling and to make himself better he`s doing the same to you and you are giving him that power by showing him how scared you are.i know it would be hard at first but try not to show him how you really feel,try not to show any reaction at all.if that doesn`t work then you can`t let the situation continue you must speak to your parents over it,but let your brother know in advance that you are going to do it and then follow it through.just by doing that shows your brother that he is loosing control over you(you must carry it through though).after all bullying is all about control,trying to control someone else life can make them feel like they are getting some control back in their own life that someone has taken from them.

hope i could help a bit and don`t forget he is still your brother and he needs help as much as you.i wish you luck
