Parents ill treated

[Lanolin]

How old is the brother, he has no right to treat his own mother that way.

If you are feeling unsafe, you could call the police though many police won't have a bar of it and tend to take the male side.

Finding a womens refuge is only temporary. It would be your mum's house unless you renting right? Where is your dad. Or is it your brother's house.

I don't agree with people just saying leave (easier said than done!) because if you leave without your mother she will be open to MORE abuse.

What we can do is pray for you find refuge and bind those demons operating on your brother.

Often in cases of DV you need a social worker rather than police as they only step in when there's actual physical harm not verbal or pyschological abuse. Will pray the right person comes along. Social workers do have some authority to remove people or uplift them and find safer home/housing and they may work with the police as well.

Till then keep faith the Lord will deliver you psalm 91 is a good one to pray when it seems the enemy is very near. Remember Jesus is your saviour.

Has your brother threatened you or your mother in anyway. Like said 'i'll kill you' or something like that. What exactly are those threats. Does he ever regret saying things and takes them back and ask forgiveness? Does he drink or do drugs? Does he have weapons in the house? Does he control all the finances?

I think you do need to have your wits about you if living in that situation and very brave to speak out about it. Your true christian brothers and sisters care.

Your mother needs you. Where is the father in all this? don't tell me it is a house without a man. I can relate because I come from one. And I have been where your brother is at some point of my life. That phase usually passes. It will depend upon the company your brother keeps and his heart. If he is in his teens, there is still hope for him.

That kind of behaviour your brother has comes from insecurity and a lot of fear which he feels about his life and his future. So, he treats you and your mother that way. You have to ignore him and put him in his place. He will have to work his way back so that he can earn your forgiveness and your mother's.

I don't mean to understand the real situation you and your family are in. But it isn't a hopeless one and it won't last forever. Your mom needs you. Your brother does to.

Stay strong. Pray to Jesus and ask the Holy Spirit to guide you in this matter. Whatever happens keep calm. Give your worries to Jesus. Talk to people from your Church if possible. If not, confide in someone you trust. Also keep an eye out on the person you confide in that they don't take advantage of your situation the wrong way.

Do a S.W.O.T. analysis on yourself. What your strengths are. What are your weaknesses. What opportunities you have. And what are your threats? The thing about threats is that you can't do anything about that. Always play by your strengths. Work on areas you are weak at. Seize every opportunity you have to make things better for yourself and your mum.

Threats should be ignored. But keep your options open. Like the police, social services, Case workers and counselors and so forth. You're bound to have access to any one if not all of these resources in your community.

We're here for you to listen to you and pray for you.

God bless you and family. Peace be with you.

I am living in a house which is filled with hate and strife. My mother was ill treated horribly by my brother today. He called her a slut, and all kinds of abuses. And wanted to hit her and I took her in my room and locked her with me. I felt sorrowed of the fact that she was quietly enduring repeated angry abuses again and again and again and it hurt me that my mom was being put up to a treatment as though she has no value. He was being ruthless and unrelenting. I am not happy living in this house. He justified it as 'man's authority' , and says Adam was before Eve, so man is greater and so justifies ill treating all women. Even to his own mother. There are many things I have to say about years of torture and harassment but I am just leaving it out. I am trusting in the Lord's protection. But my heart is not feeling good after all this. He has threatened bad things to me in the past and for no reason targets me again and again. I want to step away from this house. And feeling unsafe everyday.

there's always a way for Jesus to answer a prayer. be calm, unselfish & count it all joy as James says. dig deep in your power to be THRU this, not IN it. blessings to you.
