My brother and Self Defense

[herbto3]

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....

Surely no one in their right mind actually beleives, without doubt or lack of conviction, that someone on an internet site is  exactly who they say they are, really???

So, everyone on internet sites are lying?.....

Who knows ??

That is exactly what I am saying - all posters are sitting at a keyboard, as am I right now, and I could tell you I was a 21 year old guy who works for the government and in my spare time I am a smoke jumper.

How on God's green earth could you possibly prove me worng, or prove I was lying and know that I am actually a 50 year old single mother of two popping onto a fourm for a chat.

Your attitude toward internet 'contacts' is the attitude of an uninformed child, the same children that are targeted daily by predators counting on their naievity.

A little harsh, but that's the reality.

I've been accused of being my OH just because I wrote in long sentences with long words. LOL.

And some other poster was accused of being me while I was on extended leave. I don't remember who that was.

What's a smoke jumper?

What's a smoke jumper?

A firefighter that drops into a hot zone from a helicopter to fight the fire from the inside rather than the peripheral - my brother is one in Colorado, it was all I could think of at the time when I was typing. LOL

Good deflection BTW

I was just about to ask the same question.

Oh no! Perhaps I am really you, siggie!

[bluecat*dancing]

Did I say that you type too quickly, GC?
