So basically there’s not much point in this post other than to put my story out there and to rant because I don’t have anyone else in my life that I’m close to, to talk about it.

On Wednesday night me and my brother got in a argument about something really small and it escalated (as it often does) to my brother physically attacking me. At one point I grabbed a knife, definitely not to use but to try and warn him off, but he quickly got it off me. I was thrown to the floor multiple times and pushed to the other side of the room and then got a punch straight to my face. The swelling was there immediately and my forehead was literally like a centimetre and a half off my face.

My brother called the police saying I was attacking him with a weapon( which is definitely untrue). The police came, took photos of my face, but said because he’s only 17 that thy cant do much and also the fact that I had a knife for a short period of time that it was supposedly an equal fight and no one person is really to blame. Mind you my brother may be younger than me and only 17 but he is over 100kg of mainly muscle and much bigger than me.

Other thing is that my father witnessed it all and did nothing, he even stood up for my brother. And the sad thing is, is that’s not the first time my dad has sat and watched me be beaten and he has done absolutely nothing.

I just feel so alone and let down by everybody. I now have to go out in public with a still very swollen forehead and 2 black eyes (pictures in comments) as well as experiencing headaches, bloody nose and pain all down one leg since the attack. Thankfully the bruising isn’t too bad considering how hard the punch

Just though I would share and if anyone has similar stories, please let me know what happened and how you dealt with it
