I am so sorry this is happening to you and speaking up is really hard, especially when your mum is not listening. I think it is best to tell someone that you trust, maybe a teacher (if your in school), close friend, support services in your area perhaps? I think it is much better to tell someone who will listen and help you to work out your next decision. It must be so hard to live in that environment and not know what will happen next. Please look after yourself and find someone you can talk to and if you are feeling more confident, maybe the police. It's hard to give advice really without knowing the whole story so please do what you feel is right for you and your circumstances. But please know that you deserve to be protected from any harm. Hugs your way

Please seek help from a trusted adult. You deserve protection. I believe you.

I believe you too. My brother assaulted me when I was 14 and a half. I told my mother and she just looked at me and then continued up the stairs as if I had said nothing. Then my brother beat the crap out of me. Obviously it was a very bad environment. If you are still in school go to the school nurse and let her know what's going on. They usually have a lot of resources and she may be able to put you on the right track for help. I know you asked if you should press charges and that is a very good question. It's very Frightening but if you come forward you Maybe able 2 stop him from hurting others. On the other hand you have to make sure that coming forward will be something you will be able to mentally handle. I'm praying for you and I send you hugs and love unconditionally.

I believe you. Find someone who will listen and help you.
