TA,<p>I am so sorry for your sister. This is so scarry. I do not know her story or how long she has been suffering. You say she is under supervision? I know you are so worried. Is this specifically related to her marriage?<p>Estes

Yes...her H has been 'threatening' to leave for sometime...<p>She has told me some of the normal 'script' he has been saying.<p>He did not call us about this...mom called her work to see when she was going to be picked up for Thanksgiving and sister's manager had to tell us. When I called her H, he told us WE would have to deal with her, he was DONE...HE didn't want to see her anymore.<p>My mom seems to be hanging rather well...we have a pretty good support system out here...one more reason why I have been able to get strong as fast as I have...

Not knowing the whole situation, I would say it is safer for your S to be away from these people for good. This is so dangerous. I will pray for your family. I will be out-of-town until next Monday, but I will try to check on her progress if I get to a computer.<p>Thinking of your family,
Estes

Dear TA. <p>Wow. On top of it all....maybe this is what your H needs to see, what real families do for real families. Family love through better or worse are more than just words, they are best seen in action. <p>I will keep your entire family in my prayers. I am glad your H has opened up and let your family in during this crisis. <p>Take Care,
L.

TA, Prayers going out to both you and your sister. She is lucky to have such a supporting family.<p>Hopefully this will help your H see the other side of things. Maybe it will even bring them closer and she can share some infinate wisdom with him (that he may actually listen to).<p>HbH
