My brother got up in my face earlier today because I refused to get him some more toilet paper and I pushed him away from me in self defense because I was scared that he was gonna come after me. He said that I assaulted him and that he’s gonna call the authorities on me and file an assault complaint against me when I was only defending myself from him. He says it wasn’t appropriate but in that moment I felt that it was appropriate but now I’m having second thoughts about it. When is it appropriate to push someone away from you if you’re feeling threatened? I’m 23 and he’s 29.
When is it appropriate to push someone away from you if you are feeling threatened?

I suggested that we wait until our Dad gets home from his time at a bar in town but he got mad at me and said that I get no toilet paper now. This is utterly ridiculous and stupid, I will admit to that. We both said things that were wrong to say. He threatened me. I called him out on it. He lies and says that he didn’t threaten me. He accused me of using my devices in my bed at night (yes, I admit I have done that but not anymore), he accused me of using it last night when I wasn’t. I want to make things better, not worse. Any idea on how we can change the outcome of this matter and move on with our day-to-day lives?

I also voice recorded about 6 minutes of us fighting and I replayed it back to myself so that I could hear exactly what he said to me under his breath and what he said was correct. He said “effing A” and “eff you” and “b****”, and I called him out for it but he denied calling me the B word and saying “eff you” when I heard him say it. Unfortunately, I didn’t start voice recording until a lot later but I know what I heard.
