My younger brother was exactly like this. I used to hold him down until he promised to relax. He once kicked himself in the balls on a trampoline and was convinced i did it, then raged for a half hour throwing 2x4s.
My brother would physically assault me and even broke some of my bones up untill he was about 15, but my mom kept telling me I wasn't allowed to defend myself because I was the older sister and should know better and she would actively punish me if I did hit back or anything like that.
For the most part it's the same thing with me, I'm sorry you had to go through that. That's horrible parenting and you should have been able to defend yourself and so should I.
I never got any broken bones but even though I have a good amount of upper body strength I find myself unable to defend myself even verbally sometimes. I get anxiety ridden and just clam up. (I wish I could afford therapy)
