If you do nothing more tonight, photograph the bruises while they at their worst, and write down exactly what happened, with date and time.

There must be someone, friend or family, who you can tell about this?

You and the minor both need protecting. Is there no one in the family you can talk to?

This is physical as well as verbal abuse. Are you quite sure that you don't want to tell someone official? Not even if you say you don't want to press charges but you do want it recorded so that if it happens again you can refer back to this time? These things escalate, and it may be on you or it may be on the minor.

What advice did the women's group give?

I am writing this in a state of shock.
I have a family member who is quite frequently shouting and swearing at certain people including me and a "minor". It is for stupid reasons too. It is constant ridicule to the point where I feel that I do nothing right. The "minor" seems down but says little.
Today I was grabbed by the arm and forced around a bit. I have checked about 1 hours ago and I have 6 bruises.
Apart from the obvious thing of trying to keep well away from this person I just do not know what to do. I would be exposed to much worse if I say anything to anyone personal or official. I would have no faith in any agency being able to protect me from repercussions.
Any advice would be good. I have spoken to a Womens Group.
