Thank you so much for revealing your experiences. I feel that I am not alone, and I hope to do some more research in order to help myself. My situation is very much similar to what has been described here. I am Russian, firstly I should say that issues like family bulling are not taken seriously. Whenever I try to share mу pain or talk about it, I feel so alone... Most likely I am told that all families are families, and conflicts happen. However, I am not able to get any protection from it, nor can I get any advise upon psychological tactics to resist such type of behavior. I am simply told to ignore it, but the more I ignore it, the more I get bullied.

After I graduated hight school in Russia, I attended university in US for almost 7 years. Afterwards, I had to go back. I rented a flat with my older brother for three years in Moscow. But thank to a crises, we decided to move in our family house and start family business. This is when bulling started to blow out of proportions. My mother and brother constantly blame that I don not work hard enough, that I do not listen to them. My brother is a verbal abuser, he calls me all kinds of names whenever he feels anger. He tells me that I am stupid..... I try hard to work, but they say it is not enough, or I even get something like "You do not do anything, what do you do... I cry often, sometimes out of blue, and my chest hurts so bad. I think I need to see a psychiatrist. Seems that I am not good enough. I used to feel so optimistic, but not anymore. Nothing I do is good enough. And my brother always tells me that he has a right to act so, because he is older. I am 28 years old, and I refuse to be a little sister who is in denial. One time he even hit me with the leather belt, and pulled my hair. This so hard to bear, and even harder to share such situation, because others do not take it seriously as I do. I am so sad.
