I'm glad that you've made it as long as you have without communicating with him. You did what YOU could do in trying to get through to him and helping him, now stay strong!

When he gets desperate it was very scary. Unfortunately, fighting and violence seem to be the coping mechanism in the family. I did feel so sorry for him for as many fights as he has at home.
I did some tameshigiri today just for stress relief and for a little practice.
I have a nice katate gyakugesa cut (one handed upward cut) from the draw. The one I have to work on is the yoko ichimonji cut or lateral cut. It requires a lot of rotation from the waist.
He does know that I have a lot of friends and am very proficient, but I cannot let my guard down for a while.
