Violent mentally sick older brother
I have a older brother who's mentally sick. This sickness runs in my family from my mother's side. Twice a year he gets really violent.This lasts approximately for a month or sometimes more. During this time he goes out a lot and impatient with everything. He's rude to everyone. This started when he was 18 and now he's 28. During this time we secretly feed him sleeping pills . Also he was admitted to a hospital before. My parents can't do anything anymore because they're also scared of him.
