I just got in a fight with my brother. I woke up in the middle of the day, and my brother was trying to stab my dad with a knife. I had to step in there and prevent my brother, alongside my mom, restraining him. Anyways, I fought him and won, and I got him really good. So I come downstairs to the sound of screaming, right, and there is my brother in the living room, standing with a knife over my dad, who he's kind of like kicking, holding in place on the ground, and my dad's kind of like kicking him from the ground, and everyone's screaming, and my mom's trying to restrain him and all that. So, then he starts, like, walking to me. I guess Ma pushed him off or something. And he's walking towards me, and I just instinctively throw a jab right at him. And I don't even think he saw it coming or anything. Just hit him as hard as I could. And I managed to stumble him, and I think that's when he dropped the knife, and he fell into the into the stairs. So anyways, Mom and my brother, they go outside to the porch, after it calms down for a bit. And I'm talking to my dad, trying to figure out what happened. And after I figure out that pretty much my brother just Attacked him with a knife for literally no reason, weird mental illness, or maybe drug induced, whatever. I just got so mad that I went out onto the porch, while Mom and him were still talking. And I just threw a hook right at him, while he was still sitting in his chair. He ducked out of the way, but I still managed to catch him in a chokehold. And I kind of threw him, pulled him to the ground. And choked him out for a bit. And then I pushed the chair on top of him, and just kind of... Hit him with it a few times. And then I moved the chair out of the way, and started kicking him a bunch, stomping him. Over and over again, just a lot. Really fast. Anyways, how was your day, guys? How was your day so far?
>>81865044 (OP)That's crazy. Hope your parents are okay. I'm guessing he's got a history of mental health issues?
How'd it feel to win? I know it's not really a "win" because of the circumstances, however.
>>81865103Well, you know, to be completely honest, listen. My brother has a long history of everything in the book that can go wrong with a person's life, okay? And that's why everyone has, so far, been really forgiving of him. They're really forgiving of me, too, for my autism, which is also really bad. But I have far less of an excuse than he does. He was genuinely brain damaged as a child. Like, unironically, actually brain damaged as an infant. And he had a severe drug issue, he was bullied a lot as a kid, but this was just another incident that went too far. He attacked my mom prior in the past. He attacked my dad multiple times. He once knocked out mom. Mom, again, got injured just by trying to restrain him this time. I mean, he's been sent to the mental ward. I've been sent to the mental ward, too, a few times. I guess we both have. But I never got violent with anyone. I had outbursts and autism rages, but I never got violent like he did. Anyways, this isn't the first time I fought against him and won. There were the few times prior when he tried to physically attack my parents before. Never with a knife, though. UGH.
>>81865149Sounds like he needs some serious help. You did the right thing. Hopefully your mom heals up and your dad is okay too. I feel for you, your family, and your brother. It seems like you all have a great deal of struggles. Will be keeping all of you in my thoughts.
>>81865215dont worry man, to be completely honest, as a family unit, i mean, we fight and angrue and have shit like this happen a lot but, eh, there is still something about it, even now both my dad and mom love my brother, i know hes sorry, he doesnt even know what he did really, we will be fine again tommarow, then have another argument, big fight, and be fine again after that.

>>81865044 (OP)What a messed up story.
Why is your brother such a bastard?
Or is your dad a piece of shit or something?
You didn't do anything wrong going out and kicking his ass if your dad is innocent.
How old are you and your brother?
