May 5, 2017 at 22:33 comment added hellooo Thanks @Willow! One thing: my mom was never hurt physically by my brother (and neither by dad) but lot of guilt trip, screaming, hysterical reactions. Less with my dad. Bro even ended up blaming dad for "oppressing" him but he actually wasn't, he didn't even know half the stuff. Bro only used physical violence against me + pets. At school he fought a bit when young & oppositional with teachers. Highschool: became more manipulator + lot of lies. Attacked parents with their own personal couple problems (he'd listen to doors)! Mom ended up defending son vs dad, created extra split in the couple.
May 5, 2017 at 21:44 comment added WRX I think the OP really did not mean physical violence as the OP was seriously upset with the language and is "too embarrassed to even write the sorts of things he says". I think physical abuse would have been mentioned. However, you have some valid points for anyone who is going through something with an out of control child who also may be physical, or whose child is abusing their siblings. It's a very serious issue, but might not be the answer for this specific question. I'll ask the OP for you.
May 5, 2017 at 20:34 comment added hellooo I cannot write comments with this throwaway account to ask questions :( Yes in my case there was a lot of physical violence seen as sibling rivalry but manipulation is psychological assault. It's actually a refined version of physical violence, the next phase kids learn. My brother used to physically hit me and control me, but later at 13 up to 35yo, he used intimidation, triangulation, lies, etc. I simply want to make sure the OP takes this seriously as a lot of people blame some issues on adhd or such, while the problem with SOME kids is much deeper and darker too.
May 5, 2017 at 20:15 comment added anongoodnurse I think your case is very important, but it's based on physical violence. The OP has not given any indication that the son physically assaults anyone. "Fighting" in the US can mean arguing, squabbling, raising one's voice, opposition, etc. You jumped to assault, upon which the bulk of your answer is based. You should really clarify this with the OP before making this assumption.
