I don’t know what to do.

...See more Back in the fourth grade, I’ve expressed physical & emotional abuse from both my father and older brother. I told my close friend at the time about how I was feeling & how I wanted to e*d it all & they told my school counselor. I confided in my counselor but that led to an even bigger problem. She (counselor) called my mother to express concerns and the three of us had a group conversation. It went fine, it honestly made me feel better. But when the news got out to my dad, he wasn’t helpful at all. He blamed me because my mom came home crying (day of the group discussion) & my brother told me I was seeking attention. I vividly remember my dad yelling at me “WHO WANTS TO K*LL THEMSELVES HUH? WHATS WRONG WITH YOU HUH?” while beating me. I had no support system, & I had made an oath to my counselor saying I won’t harm myself. I knew I couldn’t go to the police about anything because that’d cause even more issues. Fast forward to today I’m currently in highschool, & I did my best to stuff down my past trauma. But yesterday all that progress just went away. Me and my brother got into an altercation because I asked him to step out for a second so I could use the restroom & he said no. I asked again kindly but he just stood there, watching netflix on his phone, brushing his teeth. He finally finished and I “aggressively” shoved him out because he was just standing in the doorway and wasn’t moving. Then he just attacked me, grabbed my wrists, slammed me against a door & just hit me. I didn’t even swing at him once. Then my parents overhear because we were yelling at eachother. I have a busted lip, leaking with blood & he broke a 24k necklace my grandmother bought me. After seeing that my dad immediately blamed it on me, “WHY DIDNT YOU PEE EARLIER?” My mom just didn’t hold anyone accountable & pushed right past it. Also, keep in mind I’m a 5’2, a girl, and 4 years younger than him and he’s 5’8 and 18 years old. It’s currently the day after the whole incident and my parents glossed over it, they didn’t bring it up or hold anyone accountable. I just don’t know what to do anymore, every time I have hope that some change will happen, it just doesn’t. I’ve tried addressing these problems on multiple occasions with my dad but he just says he didn’t do anything wrong. I don’t know what to do, I need help.
