Today, my brother threw a mug at my head and threatened to stab anybody who came at him because I woke him up for school. I called the police after threats were thrown at my mom, who then lied to them and said I overreacted. I'm currently getting the silent treatment from my family. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my little brother came into my room and hit me over the head with his baseball bat. He then dropped the bat onto my floor and ran crying into my mother's room proclaiming I stole his bat and beat him with it for fun. FML
Today, my mom got blackout drunk and tried to fight me, my stepdad, and my brother, resulting in my stepdad leaving, my brother getting two holes from a metal shelf my mom tried to joust him with, and I got bit. FML
Today, my mom and siblings got into a fight. Being generally quiet and non-confrontational, I stayed out of it. Shortly thereafter, I was yelled at by my mother for being "ungrateful" and "disrespectful." I still don't know what I did wrong. FML
Today, our mom hit my brother's head hard against the wall. He was taken to the hospital with a head wound. He came home in the evening, and said that his mom told him to say that it was his sister who'd hit him with a ball. My brother had told me the story and I'd recorded it on a tape recorder. FML
Today, my little brother was feeling like the god damned bratty douchebag he is and hurled a basketball at me. It missed, hit the wall, and rebounded straight into his face. He burst into tears, and I'm now grounded because my parents believed him when he said I threw it at him. FML
Today, I have to deal with being laughed at by my mother and sister, because they keep making sharp movements towards me, causing me to flinch. This is because I got mugged and beaten last night. They think it's hysterical. FML
Today, my roommate came home and instantly began raging, cursing, and threatening to kill me. While I was cowering in my bedroom, the police had to settle the situation. All I'd done was rearrange some furniture. FML
Today, I visited my family. Over the course of 2 hours, my brother punched me, and my mom slapped me across the face after drinking way too much wine. When I started gathering my things to leave, my mom started crying about how I don't visit enough. FML
Today, my mom complained that I was being too loud, and she smacked my head really hard. All while screaming at me. FML
Today, I woke up to my little sister strangling me. My parents accused me of making the red marks on my throat myself to exaggerate how bad it was. She's just "going through a phase", they say, and I'm a bad person for punching her to get her off me. FML

Your mother is the kind of person who raises future Ethan Couches and Brock Turners. Here's hoping you get out of that environment quickly.

Dude, **** him. Let him miss school or whatever. If I were you I’d look out for myself from now on cuz obviously there’s some issues and they don’t appreciate u

You did the right thing, and I'm sorry your family is more worried about keeping up appearances than getting your brother the help he needs. I've seen a situation like this before, and the sibling did harm others in the family. You may consider talking to a school counselor for advice. But be prepared, as mandated reporters, the school official might make reports. it's a tough situation to be in, and it's not fair to you.

I feel like if OP felt scared enough to call the cops it wasn't jus time stupid sibling fight. Usually most people call the cops on family when things have gotten physical before. For all we know OP's brother does tend to get physical when angry. Or maybe OP overracted. But I know my siblings and I have threatened each other when we annoyed one another but never to the point we were scared enough to call the police.

I don't want to belittle your experience or what your brother did. But unless he did similar things in the past this behaviour can be a sign of depression or PTSD. So maybe he should actually go and see a doctor about it. He could just be an entitled arse though. Anyway no matter why he did it your mom reacting like she did won't help him or you.

Well maybe you shouldn’t have woken him up for school.

Just keep reporting and don't let them intimadate you. Your brother needs help.

For real, get evidence by using a camera to capture crazy-ass events like that. More than positive whatever was used to type that FML had a camera installed. If no one does anything, it may make a good YouTube vine lol
