Just that . My younger sister who has form for being verbally abusive, plays the victim and had threatened to assault people in the past has physically assaulted me at our elderly mothers house. She’s drawn blood and caused bruising. Why ? Because I put my phone on “ do not disturb “ during a busy shift .

A visit from the police might be the reality check she needs.

Sometimes a short sharp shock is needed. By reporting it to the police you are letting her know she can never do this again. If you let it slide I guarantee her violence towards you will escalate further.
Mental health problems is NOT an excuse.

Can you persuade her to see a doctor about her issues with anger and her mental health generally? If necessary point out to her that if she doesn't address it, it is only a matter of time before the police get involved.

Thank you . She sees her GP for her antidepressants. Years ago she was seeing a private psychiatrist who I think really helped her - made her feel less of a victim etc. But costly . I just think she’s getting worse with anger issues. I won’t be speaking to her again after this . I don’t see how you can tbh. To just assault like that is well just not on

Does your sister live with your mother?

If my sister assaulted me she would be assaulted right back.
Not the advice id give to anyone but im from a different breed.

Absolutely, me too.

Does your sister live with your mother?

Nope . We all live independently from each other .
