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....

  Wrong...... the regular poster who created the id knows 100% that it's not true.

What do you think Icy?

I think you think you know more than you actually do

If that's the case, then it says alot about the morals and ethics of the OP if DV is seen as "entertainment". Whether its a bait thread or not, the topic is still one worth discussing.

So why did you do it Icy?.......

Just to cut and paste it into your other thread?...You've been called on it.

It sure does....... and the fact they cut and paste it into another thread.

Bizzare and sad to say the least.

How do the rest of us know that? Mind readers?

There have been posters in the past who were 'serial tale tellers'. I could always pick those.. They had very limited material, and/or bad grammar, spelling etc.

If it is a fake, the person who wrote it needs help.

Don't tell me that I now have to go and find out which thread?

I sure hope you have some proof to back you up on that (false) accusation, siggie.

While you're at it you might give us a clue as to your everyday round the house ID.

Answer the question.

This thread's topic: "Several weeks ago my brother defended himself against the full on intoxicated estranged spouse as she wanted him to go and buy drugs."

The tile/link quoted in another thread about drugs.

Doesn't really point to person providing the link to them also being the OP of this thread.
