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....

i think its more a case of the police being fed up than sexist.

time and time again they go to the aid of women only to have most turn around and refuse to co operate when they try to charge the male.

The above  is currently Post 60.......I have missed something???? certainly wouldn't be the first time!

Regardless of the MIA  OP - it is a subject that warrants discussion, so long as we can all be open minded enough to accept that violence can be committted by both male and female and more likely than not there is a lot more violence against men by women that we never hear of simply because what man (honestly) wants to stand up and admit that he is being bullied by a woman??

edited to say - replying to siggie, not pepe

Not post 60 on this thread......Icy's other thread on drugs.

[2106greencat]

Sorry - missed that

*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.
