You said your FIL whipped your wife with a belt and emotioanlly abused her. Did he sexually abuse her, also?
I covered a case in Maryland in the early 1980s where three sisters were molested repeatedly by a maternal, step-grandfather. The abuse was covered up for years by their mother, who said she was doing it to save the family and her daughters additional heartache.
It came out during trial that the mother had also been abused by the same man. Surprised everyone in the courtroom. Mother had repeatedly denied it prior.
Just a thought.

God is with you and with your daughter, AskMe.
You're not fighting alone.
I know you know that...and we are with you, too.

LA I know God has always been with me all of my life. It's the one thing I have never doubted. I never had a father in my life, but God was always there as my father keeping me safe. I probably should be dead for some of the things I have done along the way through life, but He has always watched out for me. He has watched out for my family, and even made me move away to protect my daughter. I can look back and see God's hand at work even though I have not been the faithful one. I know He is there and always has been.
