Help please!

I’m 53,and I have been seriously assaulted by my Brother who has high functioning aspergers.He’s 42,6 ft 3 and 23 Stone.He lives with my Dad and other Brother who works.My Dad has come out of hospital and is very weak so needs some care which is being given by an agency but I have been going in everyday while my Brother is working.The Aspergers Brother was going out and I asked him to pick something up that my Dad needed,he went mad,swearing,shouting.He slammed the front door and left.He came back in a terrible angry mood and said they didn’t have what Dad needed and called me an f ing c**t over and over whilst shaking his fists at me.I asked him to move he wouldn’t but said “get out of this house you f ing c**t,you’re not welcome here”He grabbed my arms which were by my side marched me to the front door and slammed my head into the window of the door breaking my glasses and hurting my cheek,I ended up in a & e and have concussion.This isn’t the first time I’ve been assaulted by him it’s probably the 6th.My so called family refuse to get him help saying you know what he’s like.Not one of them is backing me up and as he’s high functioning he can make his own decisions.He refuses to access help so I’ve had no choice but to report him to the Police.Can anyone tell me if they’ve gone through this,am I doing the right thing?

thank you for reading

  • who owns the house ? you havent mentioned a mum.

    noone should accept violence like that is my initial response

    you would have to go through the process of making a statement.   

    i dont know,,,,  maybe its better to stay away or visit when the assaulter is out. 

    i am worried that if the agency finds out they will withdraw their staff if someone in the house is deemed as violent

     talk to your working brother because everything ( care of father )  falls on him if u are not allowed in.  

  • The agency are aware of the assault and are sending 2 carers in instead of one.My Mum died 22’years ago.My Dad owns the house.Both my Brothers live with him.The abuser never goes out.My working brother is not interested he just says you know what he’s like!!!

  • thats an awful response ---  can  u attend at same time as the carers then ?  or in evening when your other brother is at least there ?  ---- kinda worried u are at risk here. I can imagine the police saying "stay away".   

    dont wear you glasses they are expensive things to get broken.

    Sorry you are in such a sad position when all u are doing is looking after your dad :(

    bring a big man friend is another option.
