[quote=Anonymous]have a 21 year old brother that started having problems about 3 years ago. He was I think, addicted to bath salts and marijuana. Also had a dui and was arrested, as he hit a car. My parents bailed him out after 2 days i think. He went to rehab and but that didn't help. Around the same time, he was cutting himself and my parents had to call the police. He was committed for a week or two then my parents sent him out of the country to live with family for a few months as they thought it would be a change of environment. That was about 2 years ago. He came back,  went back to college,  got a job working for my bil....thought things were getting better.

He started started arguments with my little sister,  to the point where he would get physical with her at times. I know it's horrible, but my parents did not call the police because they - dad more so - was afraid he would try to commit suicide. This was over inconsequential shit. He would say she was dressed inappropriately,  was talking to boys,  was being disrespectful to him, should respect him because he is older, etc. She did wear some tight clothes like skinny jeans and has guy friends but that's it. She would cuss him out but only after he repeatedly provoked her - getting in her face, going in her room to start arguments, etc. A couple weeks ago, she called me crying saying to come home because he was hitting her. No one was home except for my sister, my brother and my mom but my mom could not restrain him. I had to take her to a clinic to get stitches because during the fight, he had thrown a mug at her and she cut her head. Once again, he started the argument and was trashing her until she responded negatively to him, which made him rage. She was not talking to him for months and this probably bothered him. No matter how much I yell at him or his parents, it doesn't seem to faze him. I stopped talking to him a while ago unless I strictly bad to and so did our other siblings.

This past Friday, I was at work and he once again was trying to argue with my sister. My dad had her go to a friend's house and left the house. He went to the police station to file charges against my brother because he was fed up with him and the police came to the house. My sister was brought back home to make a statement but nothing came of it.

I really want my parents to kick my brother out of the house - yes, he still lives there. I feel like he has had way too many chances and for some 8dd reason he has issues with my little sister for no reason. I feel like their fear over him hurting himself is not more important than the well being of my sister who has done nothing to provoke my misguided brother's rage. I know they also want to keep things 'in the family' but I know that it is not healthy at all.

Any advice? What could be possible reasons my brother acts this way and is there any hope for him or is he a lost cause? What would you do in this situation? [/quote]
