What to do if you have been abused by a sibling?
Counseling with a trained therapist or clinical social worker may help minimize the longer term impact of sibling abuse. Talk with a counselor openly and honestly about your experiences, and use their advice to help start your recovery. Keep in mind that the counselor may be required to report the abuse to protect you.
How do you deal with an aggressive brother or sister?
Talk with your parents or guardians. Approach your parents or guardians and tell them what is going on, especially if both you and your sibling still live at home. Let them know that what they see is more than just sibling rivalry, and that you want help dealing with your sibling’s aggression.
Should I call the police on my Brother for abuse?
Your brother’s abuse of you has to stop, and that means someone has to claim authority over him–unless he’s smart enough to claim authority over himself. And that’s where the police come in. When parents don’t claim authority, it’s time to call the public authorities.
What should I do about my brother’s bad behavior?
First of all, it is important to realize that your parents are the people who need to be taking charge of your brother’s behavior. While he may be out of control now, he was not always big. They allowed things to get this bad, or it wouldn’t be happening. I’m telling you this because I want you to understand that your brother is not a bad person.
