Hello Ohiro, nice to meet you! How can I assist you with your legal issue today?
On 2nd January *, my father died and 4 days later funeral was held. I couldn't participate because my elder * brothers opposited.Particularly, my 1st elder brother threatened me,saying 'If you participate, I may hit you! '
Hello Ohiro, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. In Japan, it's illegal to threaten someone with violence. If you feel threatened, consider lodging a report with the police. You might also consider seeking a restraining order against your brother.
I was very disappointed. So I called trough phone to them to ask why I couldn't participate. It was because I apologize to them about what I did to them. So I recalled it. It's ,'I lent a cheap item to my 1st elder brother. He promice me to give back at once so he asks me to teach my address. I teached it but he's been borrowing it for about 2 years, without giving back. So, I asked my 1st elder brother & his wife to give back it as early as possible. 1 day after I asked, the item was given back but a letter wasn't attached. So,I called to his wife to ask her a word for apologize.As a result , she got angry with him, at the same time, he that stood by her got more angry. She changed to him on phone. I taiked with him. So,he thresatened that he' come to my home to make me injuried.As a result, he cut-off phone on the way to our talking. And my 1st elder brother told my 2nd brother what I behaved and my 2nd elder brother got angry,too. My 2nd elder brother told me that what I behaved was just an unreasonable complain' A seriese of my behavior like this is just an unreasonable! So,I was told by * elder brothers to apologize. But I argued that I'd never apologize because it's not an unreasonable claim. But my angry feelong rised to the top.
