My prayer request is for healing within my family. In Feb 2013, my youngest brother ### (with some serious addiction and psychological disorders) physically attacked me without provocation without any witness than he and I. This is not the first time that he has been violent towards me. My family has been in tremendous strain from the divorce of my parents a few years ago. Everyone’s on burn out. I have had little to no communication with my other siblings or mom (my dad has been completely absent) since that time. No one did anything in my defense. In fact, several blamed me saying I know better than to be around him when in fact, the situation was unavoidable. No one asked or cared to find out what actually happened. I tried a few times to reach out and have a sit down to explain how hurtful it has been that no one did anything but my family, particular my eldest brother ###, has taken a very legalistic view in that he would not do anything about something he didn’t witness himself and that I need to change my attitude about expecting anything to do anything in my defense. I was covered in bruises, went to the urgent care w/a possible broken finger, and could barely walk for days when this happened. ### saw the pictures and rebutted with stats about how true physical assault would be to the face/neck. It’s hurtful enough that nothing was done, but these reactions from him and the rest of my family. I would rather them to have said and done nothing. My prayer is that God reveals this hurt/injustice to my family and at minimum the harmful words/stances to stop. I believe Satan has done a number on my family. Divide and conquer. I pray and stand against this for my family.

I am sorry that your brother attacked you with such savagery, and I am also sorry that in spite of irrefutable evidence that he did so, your family and especially your brother ### refused to believe you. I know how badly that must make you feel -- like you have been assaulted twice. Unfortunately, Satan is at loose in the world, and he is wreaking great havoc. Your experience of not only not being believed and/or being blamed for the assault is exactly why many crimes, especially rape, either do not get reported or do not get prosecuted in the end. And if it is any consolation, many of us have been through similar experiences. This is not on the same scale as you, but I remember when I was growing up, both my sister, who was 18 months younger than I, and I were lumped together in the same category. My mother would always refer to us as "they," even though it was virtually always my sister that did the wrong. She was putting cigarettes out on our roof by reaching right outside the bedroom window. We both got blamed. She went in my mother's room and stole all these expensive support stocking right out of my mother's bureau. Took long time before my mother believed I had no hand in it. I could go on and on. Nothing as extreme as what you are going through, but it took a serious emotional toll on me. It really did. I pray for justice and fairness in your family, I pray they open their eyes about your brother who harmed you physically. He obviously needs help, and right now, your family is doing him wrong by not addressing his problems. I pray for your physical safety. I also pray for your emotional well being. Remember that no matter what others believe, don't believe or just plain old lie about, your heavenly Father sees all. I know it is tough, but pray for those who harm you. Pray the Lord has mercy on their souls. I hope this helps. I pray for you in the name of Jesus of Nazareth. Amen and amen.
