Question by unknown: I am so confused and stuck in the middle.?
Okay I am stucked between my husband and my brother. They are two alpha males in one family ok. They got into a fist fight before for the simple fact that me and my mom got into it all my husband tried to do was tell my brother what was going on and my brother snapped in his drunken rage. This time my brother was drunk again but first he snapped on my mother and me at the same time we went round and round for a hour or so okay my mother has bad knees and I am pregnant so we was physically taken on my brother trying to protect ourselves. My son was in his play pen the whole time I kept trying to calm him down to get him to stop my son didnt need to see or be around this he is only 7 months old ok. My brother didnt care he threatend to snap my mothers neck then mine then my husbands. HE snapped my brother is in court right now in front of the judge for domestic abuse in the presence of a minor child for 3 counts okay. Well when I was growing up if I got into trouble my mother never stepped up for me she just told them lock me up and throw away the key. I only got into trouble with the law one time and that was before I was 18 but here is my brother 23 years old okay and he psychially abused my mother and me okay. And yet she feels sorry for him trying to make it all okay by standing by his side to make up for the rough past them two have okay. Well how much more of the psychial abuse does my mother have to go through to finally have enough and take a stand!!! My mother is not understanding the fact that my brother done his wrong let him do his time for his wrong but does she care to listen NOOOOOOOOOOO she wants to say oh he was drunk he doesnt know what he was doing. When he was perfectly capable of comprehending what is going on. HE KNEW excatly what he did yet he doesnt give a rats ass. Then on top of it he kept calling me last night and this morning a grand total of * drum roll please* 55 times come on you would figure if I didnt pick up I dont want to talk but yet he keeps calling he is in front of the judge right now getting his punishments so i dunno what to do anymore help

Answer by celticbuddha
first of all, why do you put yourself in the middle of it all?

for your own safety and those of your children and husband, remove yourself from your mother’s and brother’s lives. there is no point in trying to make them see things YOUR way. they have their way of doing things, for right or wrong, and that is how it’s going to be until they die, unless THEY want to change it.

you can change the situation for YOU, but you will never change it for either one of them. get out! put a restraining order on your brother if you have to.
