I have a really violent brother who often for no reason throws things at me and is really quite horrible to me. I do get on really well with him, its just that sometimes he flicks and becomes some violent monster. What should I do? Is there any way that I can help him to overcome this violent side of him? Most of the time he is just fine.

Stay away from him when you feel any threat of danger. Report his violent actions immediately to your local authorities. No one, not even a love one has a right to hurt you. Would you let a stranger get away with this? It is not in his best interest either to let him off the hook...it will only enable him to continue or worsen his behavior. Have a heart to heart talk with him about his actions and the affect it is having on you and your relationship with him and ask him to get counseling or at least leave you alone. Try to avoid him if he is not cooperative in leaving you alone and getting help for his temper. Do what you can to avoid provoking him in any way. Talk to your family about this problem and make an action plan before something terrible happens. This is a serious problem and not something to ignore.

Ask your parents to keep an eye on him and punish him if he acts out like this again, and if it is bad, have him go to a psychologist. [ icey0990's advice column | Ask icey0990 A Question ]
