My brother just assaulted me. Idk what to do right now.

Besides hitting me, he bit my arm pretty bad. Fortunately I was wearing long sleeves otherwise his teeth would've punctured my skin worse than it already has. We're in a small town 30 mins away from home because I had to cart him around to interviews, and whatever else at his beck and call. Had an argument that he kept egging on getting incredibly personal about, and I threatened to drop him off unless he shuts his mouth, especially since I'm out here doing him a favor. Then he snapped. Some lady almost called 911 but asked me first. I told her no, of course because my parents wouldn't take kindly to me getting him arrested. Idk what to do he's acting like nothing happened and he wants to carry on to go hang out with his friend around here. I just want to go home, pack my shit and leave for good.

It seems he has mental issues of some sort. If you say nothing and this gets worse, other family members could be at risk also. You could actually be saving your parents by opening up!

@Handfull1 if he's having real mental issues then he's going about it being incredibly manipulative and pulling, what he calls, "power plays." Where he displays something traumatic to get what he wants. So...idk he's more of a gaslighting spoiled ass. His apology was, "I'm sorry but you..." and just him trying to manipulate me to believing I "earned" to get hit and bit. Call him out on it and was quick to downplay it as, "Well, I was gonna hook your jaw but that's excessive force so I bit."

Yeah...ok.

@RedGrizzly that is not acceptable behavior. He’s taking no responsibility for his own actions. Not beneficial to anyone involved.

@Handfull1 yeah, that's my brother. :/ He was like that when he was little and he'd the same way now.

@RedGrizzly somewhere people enabled this behavior. He learned it worked. The cycle has to be broken or he could really be dangerous. I would talk to your parents unless they’ve always been in denial.
