My twin brother always beats me and calls me names, calling me a bitch and choking me... By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

He hit and scolded me since I was a child. When I was in elementary school, he would bring his friends along to mock and beat me. Every time we fought, he would go especially hard. Once he kicked me directly in the nose, almost breaking it. Another time, he punched me directly in the eye, which immediately swelled up and turned purple. Today, because I wouldn't give him a cigarette, he beat me up instead. I didn't want to go hard on him for fear of hurting him, but he just grabbed my neck and tried to strangle me. He also used all kinds of nasty swear words. Sometimes I want him to die, but then I think it would be better if I died instead.

Hello! I'm sending you a warm hug from afar.

I am grateful to have read your request for help and I am certain that my sharing will provide you with the support and help you need.

From your description, it is clear that you have been humiliated by your twin brother's verbal and physical behavior for a long time. The physical and mental harm caused by his beatings and scolding has made you feel a strong sense of fear, unease, and abandonment, and the feeling that you are unloved and unwanted. You are powerless and unable to protect yourself in the face of all this harm.

I'm curious why your parents aren't mentioned in your description. Why not ask your parents for help?

Tell your parents about your brother's hurtful behavior and actions. They will support and protect you.

You have already sought help from your parents, but they have ignored you. This makes you feel afraid and uneasy, as if you are being hurt, abandoned, and rejected again. This also makes you feel helpless and powerless when your brother humiliates and harms you verbally and physically.

It is a fact that the way a person is treated often determines how they treat themselves and others. Your brother treats you this way not because you are not good enough, but because his parents treated him this way. They were negative, harsh, critical, and scolding towards him. When he was treated this way by his parents, he was powerless to protect himself. This caused emotional and psychological harm, which he has released outwardly on you.

You are innocent, and you know it. So, in the face of your brother's hurt, tell him—firmly—that you cannot be treated like this. Tell him he has hurt you so much that you feel very hurt. When you say this, you need to stare him in the eyes. If he still does not change his behavior, call the police.

I am Lily, the little ear of the Q&A Museum. The world and I love you.

I'm really sorry you're going through this. It sounds incredibly painful and unjust. You deserve support and safety, not harm. Please reach out to someone who can help, like a counselor or a trusted adult.

This is truly heartbreaking. No one should have to endure such treatment. Have you considered talking to a professional or an authority figure who could offer protection?

Vaughn Davis The process of learning is more important than the outcome.

It's awful that you've been treated this way for so long. Remember, it's not your fault. Maybe there's a safe person or organization you can turn to for the help you need and deserve.

What you're describing is very serious. It's important to find a way to get away from this situation safely. Is there anyone outside of this environment who you trust and can talk to?
