Stuck with Abuser Family Member.
Hello everyone, I just wanted to check in here and see if anyone has any experience, knowledge, and/or anything that might be able to help with my current situation.
Situation basics:
I am currently living at home with my two parents, grandfather, and my older Brother, whom I will refer to as Brother.
Since early childhood Brother has been quite terrible, basically bullying me, as well as being the stereotypical "problem child" you would see in movies/tv, screaming, yelling, and basically being entitled.
So, throughout my childhood, I had to deal with him treating me horribly, as well as having to console my mother who had to deal with the other half of everything as no-one else ever really tried to help (something that continues today)
There have been issues in the past, and faults on both sides, I won't deny that, but it has gotten worse than ever with Brother.
From his constant yelling and screaming, refusal to leave people alone (literally following others to continue yelling at them) threats to kill myself and family members, as well as the police (we've called them 4 times, didn't press charges [probably should have]), carrying around knives, he's been taken to the hospital multiple times, which has done nothing to help, aside from telling us there is nothing wrong with him.
It's gotten to a point where living with him has become inhospitable, trying to talk to him doesn't work, as anything you say he will scream at you calling you a liar.
He threatened to assault myself, as well as other family members, and it's gotten to a point that we want to have him removed from the household.
The issue is that even if we have him removed, he will return, even after telling the police, hospitals and everyone we have talked to that we don't want him to return because we are concerned for our safety, he's back.
We are planning to talk to a lawyer, but, to get to my question:
Does anyone know other options/things I can do, possible other routes of people to contact aside from a lawyer, and other methods to protect myself, as well as other family members.
Nonetheless, thanks for the help!
