My brother and Self Defense

My mum and I dont know what to do anymore. We are in the NT. Several weeks ago my brother defended himself against the full on intoxicated estranged spouse as she wanted him to go and buy drugs. He said no and she attacked him twice. He defended himself but since then he has found himself on dvo charges brought on by the cops. 

I feel for my brother as he is a good person and dad but no one is listening to him. The cops wont take away the charges as they see it as domestic volence. They dont see it as self defense. The x sister in law wants the charges dropped but the cops wont drop them. My mum is as she puts it hitting her head against a brick wall trying to get someone to listen to her about this as my brother is an abused husband the victim. Mum says it is not the normal run of the mill case as he is a bloke not a lady. Only ladies get abused not husbands. My brother has stood by his family as his x is a druggy and cant look after the 5 kids properly. He has been their protector.

What I want to do is help my brother and his kids but I dont know how to do it..I dont know who to get mum or brother to talk to. I dont want my brother to kill himself as this is what my mum has been thinking he might do. My brother and mum need help.

 

Is there anyone out there who could tell me what to say to my brother to help him please? And my mum? Can someone please please help me....

Perhaps Icy can explain her behaviour.

Nah. That herbto ID is not me, as much as you'd like to create a suspicion about me.  I think most ppl know my alter-ID here, and that 's not it.

 

I'm sorry you have to stoop to such methods.

 

Doesn't surprise me though, really.

 

It shows a lot about you.

*lol, Right post number but wrong thread*

 

So, am I right in thinking that Siggie is thinking that this thread was started by Icy to prove her point in regards to marijuana use? Is that the question?

 

Gawd. My brain hurts.

 


Seems that way.

At least explain why she cut and paste this thread into her other thread..... seems bizarre to me.

I might type fast, but my brain is slow, LOL

 

I can not figure how posts from one thread got quoted here, and why Icy is in the poo ATM - am I just really slow or is there some inner hidden message I am missing ?

 

Edited to say - don't worry about it, think I would rather stay in the dark and carry on happily in my ignorance.
