Title: Domestic Violence in the Home Post by: BlackmanX on June 26, 2004, 10:17:12 PM Hi, guys. I come here because I am gripped with despair. I am living in a house with my uncle Louis, his wife Gabrielle and their children, Shelby and Kiki. Also residing there is my sister Annie. Annie has always had a temper and lately she's gotten worse. She has shown signs of being violent and i recalled that once, she tried to stab me with a knife but i was able to stop her. Since then, i have not trusted her at all and I wont turn my back on her. I told my parents what kind of person she is. they know she is out of control and steps will be taken to deal with her. I thought Annie was the only potentially dangerous person in my house........wrong !!!!!!!! My aunt Gabrielle has been acting strange lately. she yells at everybody. I never thought much of it until someone told me they saw her hit Shelby, her 7-year old son. i had never seen Gabrielle do physical violence. I dont know what to think. I know women can be just as bad as men and sometimes worse but I did not see Gabrielle coming. she was always the person i came to when in need but now she is the enemy. I dont like people who hurt others physically. I dont care if it's a woman hurting a man or a man hurting a woman. It's not right. I know how evil some females can be and some males too but i never pegged my aunt for being one of those violent animals I despise. What am I supposed to do ? I dont trust her anymore. I cant trust her. I dont trust my sister either. My cousins and I live with violent people. my uncle Louis is seldom there. What am I supposed to do ?????????

Title: Re:Domestic Violence in the Home Post by: Elphaba on July 05, 2004, 11:42:36 PM obviously you need to seek counceling for yourself, but also for the rest of the family members living in the same house where the problems are happening. Try talking to a close friend someone you can trust for support. Maybe some kind of family intervention, not necessarilly with the people who are being violent, not yet, just maybe with other people like close family members and a few close friends to discuss the issues you are having to come up with a plan, and then maybe an intervention with the people you are having problems with. my family had an intervention for my brother with drugs. It helped to have the family all there in one room to try to come up with a plan of action and also for communication and letting off steam. hope some of this info helps.
