I think if I were in your position, when the brother came around I would simply go to my room or go somewhere. There is NO reason to be around him. Is there a friend you could stay with? Hugs, Nicole

P.S. There is no reason to listen to anyone abusing you. The first sign of abuse.....walk away. Do not listen to it. you can contact RAINN (rape abuse help); I have heard excellent things about them. It is difficult to find boundaries, but you need to have them. A good book is Boundaries by Townsend and Cloud. The book that saved my life (after 31 years of abuse): The Verbally Abusive Relatiionship by Patricia Evans. In other words if someone started throwing rocks at you, you would run away, and that is what abuse is....someone throwing rocks, words of abuse at you. Do NOT stay around and listen to it....and responding to abuse just validates they craziness and lies. Protect yourself.
