I need your opinion - family squabble
We are all getting older and our parents are sick. Dad just went into the hospital, etc.

We are having to separate family property and tension is high.

But the question is more personal and I need female and male perspective.

My older brother came to my house yesterday mad out of the blue. He has a hairline trigger temper and often fights with other nonfamily members. He is a big guy and has a loud voice and raises yells really really loud.

Anyway yesterday he came to my house and to be honest, I am not sure what he was mad about. He barged in the front door and started screaming at the top of his lungs about me not being appreciative of this or that and me owing him thousands of dollars (absolutely not true. I don't owe him anything). So some of the ranting had a kernel of truth buried deep and some of the ranting was just nonsense.

However, that is not my question. When he started yelling I yelled for my husband who was elsewhere. My brother yelled at me to leave him alone that "this" whatever "this" was was between him and me. Then he proceeded in his temper tantrum.

My husband said nothing. He did not say "do not yell at her". He did not defend me in any manner.

I at no time raised my voice or said anything. I did say about ten minutes into the rant that I did not appreciate the abuse.

So now I am mad at my brother and my husband. My brother for his abuse and my husband for not defending me.

Okay, so what do you think?

Castle Law. Someone barges through my door they get shot. Now your husband seems like a beta male. That is probably your fault for neutering him through your marriage.

Go buy a gun. Go take lessons at the range and practice till your an expert. Then tell your family to fuck off.

I agree.

OP, you need to tell your brother that he is not welcome in your home if he is going to yell at you. That is abuse. And if he does that again you are going to call the law on him. And then follow through with it if he calls your bluff. If he continues to cause problems then you get a restraining order on him. He needs to go to an anger management class.

Guns are not a good thing to have around in a family squabble. I am sure she does not want to shoot him. Better to have him locked up if he does this again.

OP, you might want to keep your doors locked so no one can barge in. Especially right now when family tension is high. Grab the phone if your brother comes over and do not let him into the house. If he has anything to say let him say it outside and again if it gets out of control you call the authorities to come pick him up.

Re: I need your opinion - family squabble
I have to say i disagree some. First and foremost if you where my wife you most assuredly would not have been disrespected like that. There would have been a conversation but not yelling or screaming and most assuredly no physical intimidation. That being said, I do not care who you are, you barge into my house without knocking you will be shot. My parents know to knock on my door or let me know ahead of time they are stopping by. Unannounced barging in will not end well for you.

Your bro was out of line period. I would have stopped the conversation immediately and escorted him out of my house. I would also have defended my wife. I dont care that blood is blood blah blah...when you marry its more than blood.

To be honest as a man i think you should be happy your husband respected the fact this is a family thing. Probably knowing your brother wouldnt mind getting agressive with him for junping into this. Now if your brother would actually attack you... your husband should obviously jump in.

In this case tho he couldnt do more than you; telling your brother to chill. But you actually have a bond with your brother so for you thats a better option than for your husband.

You should not be mad at your husband imo. Not at all. It was a familyfeud.. or how you call that. He probably did what he fellt would get the best result. Wich is your brother not getting extra mad. Not just at your but also at your husband for interfering

Re: I need your opinion - family squabble
First of all, your brother is acting the way your mother allowed him to act, that is showing no respect to his family members as human beings.

He got away with it growing up at her home and now he is simply repeating a set of learned accepted behaviors.

Your husband shouldn't have gotten in between the argument, but what he should be doing now is telling you with complete authority that your brother is no longer welcomed in his home ever because of the way he behaved there. And you should hold to that. Warn him, and if he ever shows up at your house, call the police.

And what you and the rest of your family need to do is to explain to your brother that -
1. You are abusive and that that is not acceptable.

2. You as a family will meet and make decisions about what is going to happen, and he is excluded from all those decisions because he is abusive. Have discussions and make decisions without his input. Tell him what is you all have decided. And if he argues in any way, call the police. If he makes any threats, telling him to go ahead and do it and you will call the police.

3. None of you are going to entertain his behavior, he needs to stay away from all of you completely from this point forward until He takes some steps to get counseling for his abusive nature.

4. Once he has received counseling, he needs to start apologizing for his past.

Stick this plan. Abusive people are mentally ill.

Re: I need your opinion - family squabble
Does your brother own your house? If he does that again you need to tell him to leave and if he doesnt then take whatever action you need.

ALso tell him that you will not discuss ANY matters with him if he is going to scream and yell, and stick to it.

Your husband doesnt want to get stuck in the middle and you shouldnt be mad at him. He feels you are a big enough girl to handle it on your own and you are. I recommend forgiving him but explain, calmly, why you were upset.

Btw I am a female. Good luck.

I dont understand why so many families become torn when it comes down to inheritance. If my parents left me nothing I would still live a successful and happy life and love my brothers. Never rely or expect anything unless you earned it yourself... then you wont be disappointed. Not directed at you but just saying my 2 cents.

your brother and your husband are fucking assholes.

Bullying a defenseless woman and the other refusing to defend her.

Big guy, shouts a lot, known for fights with others...yeah, a bully. Scary.

Underneath every bully is a wimpy little scared kid. Your brother is frightened about your dad's impending demise. But hasn't got the skills to communicate his feelings. No excuse for frightening a family member who's not half as big and menacing.

Your husband was likely steering clear of inflaming the bully. Scared too. No excuse. He's your man, he should be protecting you.

My advice FWIW? Get lawyered up asap. Write a factual account of the exchange and all your brother's shouting verbatim. Lodge it with the lawyer. Only allow your brother into your house if he undertakes not to scream at you and frighten you. Don't ask your husband for advice on this, just do it. You must protect yourself...these are the first steps.

If you can't afford a lawyer, go to your nearest women's aid office asap and tell them about it, with your written account.

Good luck.

Re: I need your opinion - family squabble
I don't really think you should be upset with your husband. He probably thinks you're a big girl and capable of handling your brother. If I were you, I would have left your brother to his ranting and gone into another room. He needed to calm himself down; he didn't need you or your husband to do it for him. Also, once everything was fine between you and your husband, it might have put your husband in an awkward position; maybe your brother would have been pissed at him for getting involved.

It was between you and your brother.

He should speak to you in a public place.

He should not invade your home.
