What's your age? If you're more than 18 years and working, not dependent on your brother why you live in same household with them? The act of domestic violence can be pleaded and complaint against them for DV be filled if you're living in domestic relations in common household, but if you're of age of majority and not dependent on them, you have to move out and live independently.
