So it all started in 2020 when I moved to other house because he insulted and beat me up, now he comes to that new house which isn't far away and keeps doing the same thing, he beat me up today because I didn't want to give him my phone. When I tell it to my mother she says we're both bad and she will sell the house, please someone help me I don't know what to do

Been the younger sibling to an abusive 4 year older brother. Beating him up wasn't an option as even small age differences are big regarding strength. All i could do was de-escalate, lock my room (and turn my key slightly because our rooms had the same key shape so he could just push my key out from the outside and unlock it) and hope he doesn't still manage to get in there. I honestly have no advise for this to op :( My situation ended when my brother got drafted to the military for 2 years or so and when he was back he moved out.

I got all my bullies to stop by eventually snapping on them and going for a cheap shot.

In elementary school there was an older guy who would always hit me / push me over - one day I put my knee up when he was diving onto me and got him right in the balls... he quit after that 🙂

My more annoying step brother got punched in the face eventually, but we are the same age.
