        This is not the first he hit my mom. This is his second marriage. He used to beat his first wife too.

        Today, I tried to stop him. I pinned him to the ground and sat on him. There was a lot of yelling and shouting. I told him, that me and my mom will file a police complaint against him.

        I went out for a few hours, he attempted a suicide. He wrote a Facebook post saying that I was being violent towards him. And he is not able to bear the violence and hence wants to end his life.

        Currently he is in ICU. He is going to survive. He is safe.

        How do I proceed from here? I asked my mom if she wants to file a domestic violence case against him in the police station and she said yes. There was no proof and evidence of anything that happened.

        I am worried he might attempt suicide a second time and might succeed.

            Don’t worry bro, a women’s complaint can be accepted without any proof. Go ahead and do your thing.

                FIR or a formal complaint is essential since the abuser is trying to frame the son/daughter for protecting his/her mother from his abuse.

                m sorry what you have been through, but u/Oswalds7 is correct. you dont need to worry about anything.

                finally, some women laws can be used in a good direction in India.

                    Exactly, even if the woman is wrong, still the law will support the woman. Take care!

                    Give an application to the nearest police station about the incident and the assault on your mother. So if in future he tries to implicate you in a false case/charges. You would have proofs

                            Get a good lawyer. Attempting suicide is a crime. Aiding and abetting suicide is also a crime. Your dad definitely needs therapy. See if the hospital can provide it once he’s better. Get their report and show that dad has issues.

                            Best wishes

                                            It is not a punishable offense after 2017.

                                          Attempting suicide is no longer a crime. It has been decriminalised.

                                              Blaming you for his violent behaviour is the narcissist trend. Ask your mom to file a domestic violence case in the police station. In the statement mention about this incident and Facebook post also. If you or your mother got any physical hurt, go to the hospital and register a Medico Legal Case. This would help later.

                                              If you are not filing a case right away, record his violent behaviour and save it.

                                                  Exactly.. I was about to state the same. Narcissists abuse and beat others but ACT LIKE A VICTIM always in front of family and society!!.. Op start recording the abuse and his verbal outbursts with hidden camera. If he files any case on you or your mother, you will have the ACTUAL PROOF OF WHO IS THE ABUSER!!

                                                  Learn about narcissistic abuse and reactive abuse. The narcissists almost always are aggressive and might beat and do physical assaults (You will get to know if your father is that or similar cluster B disorder related person if you read up on narcissism, BPD, and antisocial personality disorders online on πŸ‘‰YouTube, quora, and reditt πŸ‘ˆ).

                                                  Protect your mother and yourself (Are you a son or daughter?).

                                                    Whatever happened is wrong and shouldn’t have happened in the first place.
                                                    Handle situation very delicately.

                                                            Why are you being the hero? Let your mother file the complaint. Let her get counselling and let her decide the boundaries, let her file or live in that situation. All you do is help your mother get advice for the above scenarios. If not You are doing mental harm to yourself. Don’t get involved in marital affairs of even your parents. I have been in this situation and counselling Greatly helps everyone. Keep this up you will have problems/headaches you never wished to have.

                                                                Right direction but any child would want to protect his/her parent from the abuser parent. Nothing wrong in that. But, ultimately the mother here should file the complaint.
