Fight At Home

[Non-Binary Person Here]

Ok, so I have a brother who is on the high end of the Autism Scale. Last night, He started freaking out because the fuzz that covers the mic is gone. He told me to find it. Well, it was more of a demand. I was in the middle of talking to friends and doing school work when he started yelling at me to find it. So I closed my chromebook and started looking after a few minutes I told him I couldn't find it. So he freaked out more. I sat back down on my computer and started working again. He demanded I look again. It got to the point where my dad came up with a new pair of headphones, but he (my brother) didn't want them. It got violent and I tried to stop my dad from hitting my brother. I told him (My dad) that I didn't like how he was hitting him. It reminded me of how he hit me. And he said "like this and punched me in the jaw and made it lock up. The screaming lasted 3 hours. I cried myself to sleep last night because I hurt mentally and physically. Im so tired. I just need some comfort.

That's so difficult and traumatising, I'm sorry you had to go through that, you did ot deserve to be treated like that. I have a few friends who have Autism, and I couldn't imagine how frustrating it is for your brother I feel for you both. That wasn't nice for your dad to hit your brother for having a panic moment. . When your dad gets violent, could you maybe ask for help? I know it's hard but it is to protect you and your brother from any harm. Have you managed to speak to anyone about when your dad used to hit you and how it made you feel? You deserve to be heard. I'm so sorry

How did your mum react? Is there anywhere you and your brother could go so you don't have to deal with this? @Monsoon is here for you too. I know how difficult this is for you and how much this will impact you but you've done the right thing by coming here today and telling us what's going on for you
