It is alarming to experience physical violence during an argument and the situation should not be taken lightly. It is important to create a safe environment for yourself and your family member by removing any weapons or objects that could be used as weapons. It may be helpful to rethink the dynamics of the situation, seek counseling or support groups that can teach positive communication skills, explore why this person feels like they are not being heard and validate their feelings in a constructive manner. If immediate physical harm is present then it's best to contact a professional help such as law enforcement officers or local abuse hotlines .
