Domestic Violence in the Home

[BlackmanX]

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

How old are you?

If you're not of the age, you need professional help.  What state are you living in?  I can find out someone for you to call.  Will you get in troulbe if you call someone?

Pray.

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.
