So to offer a bit of context, I come from an Asian background where family is considered to be very important no matter what.
My brother and I have never been on really good terms for as long as I can remember. We fight multiple times a day and most of the time it's the kind of teenage or adolescent fighting like taking each other's stuff etc. We have physical fights also quite often. Since he is much older than me, he is stronger physically too and he hits me pretty hard. In addition to this sometimes we kind of tickle each other and I keep noticing that ke kind of touches me in the breast or vaginal area which I have repeatedly pointed out but he doesn't listen. I don't know if this is on purpose or not. Just minutes before writing this post he hit me really bad on my head which made me have a panic attack. Most of the times this doesn't happen but every few weeks when he particularly hits me hard, I have a panic attack. In fact my first panic attack ever was triggered by him hitting me.
Both of us live with our parents (it's normal in my country to live with your parents until you're married and even after marriage).The thing is that my parents know about everything I have written above and they keep trying to make him understand by talking/lecturing him that he shouldn't do it but he still continues to do so.
I don't know what to do as I have been stuck at home from college since the pandemic last year. Calling the police or any such authority is not a viable option because such types of domestic issues are not taken seriously at all in my country.
TLDR: My brother hits me often and often touches inappropriately causing panic attacks. My parents know about this but aren't able to help me. Police/authority reporting is not viable in my country
I would appreciate some kind of advice or help from my fellow redditors. Thank you in advance
