My dad and my brother have never really gotten on in
the past, as they both are so stubborn and will not say sorry even if they know they are in the wrong. But recently their relationship has gotten a lot worse and my brother winds my dad up so much and then my dad end up hitting him, and i don’t mean just a little, he throws him to the floor and punches him all over, he will throw plates and food at him and call him all the names under the sun and say things that a father should never say to his son like ‘i wish you were dead’ etc.
They were recently in a fight and my dad ended up hitting his foot off the wooden leg of a chair and seriously broke 2 of his toes, he blamed it all on my brother and had to go to hospital immidiately. He came back in crutches and a cast, and can’t go to work or drive his car or anything now and he has to be like this for 2 months. My brother and him got in an argument because my brother refused to say sorry for what had happened and my dad started tyring to hit him but couldn’t becasue of his state. So instead he was saying ‘im going to crack your head open with this crutch’ and then started jabbing for his face with the point at the end of the crutch. My mum pulled it off him and my dad went upstairs and has refused to come down ever since (this was today).
I’m really scared of what my dad is going to do, because now he can’t move hardly this will anger him more and it won’t be long before he does something stupid.
My brother has bahavioural problems but he never means any real harm and i do understand he has done wrong but he never hits first, and he only does in self defence. Also he gets constant abuse from my dad telling him he is useless and stupid and ugly and that he hates him, so my brother doesn’t really have a masculine/father figure to look up to.
Please help, i really need to sort this out before the worse happens =[
