My Brother is in a terrible situation, he has been married for almost 12 years, and his wife is extremely abusive, He says he won't leave because of the kids. She doesn't like going anywhere and it has become so bad that she has taken the children out of school and is doing home schooling with them(when she feels like it) I keep think she might be going through depression the way she keeps herself and the kids locked up, Let me tell ya about the last incident. He got up Sunday morning and had to go to town to get the baby some milk, he asked her if she wanted him to pick up some breakfast for them (since she doesn't cook they eat out all the time) and she said no don't pick me or the kids up anything. (they we're going to eat a cold bowl of cereal). We'll he went to town, got the milk, and stopped and got him some breakfast, when he got home she went hystrical because he ate she ran him out of the house and as he was getting in the truck she started throwing rocks at him she even had their 8 year old daughter throwing them at him too.. She has turned the kids against him to the point of stooping as low as she gets. And they have been fighting ever since. But little things like this have been going on for the whole 12 years. One time she stabbed him with a fork, and not to long ago she hit him in the back of the head with a lead crystal salt shaker and knocked him out. She has destroyed there new home, by beating the wall with the phone, and slamming the door back against the walls that they have big holes behing them. And the kids are seeing and hearing all of this going on. She won't try to get help she thinks she don't have a problem. And he thinks he is trapped.. What can a sister do to help her brother see the light and that things would be better if he would just leave? I am totally upset about this my brother is one of the sweetest people anyone could ever meet. He is outstanding in the community he has his own business.. that she calls everday to chew his but out at. I am going crazy seeing my brother treated this way.. HELP ME AND MY BROTHER PLEASE!!!

I think your sister in law needs professional help. I also believe the authorities should be called in before she hurts one of the them or your brother. Maybe HRS can help.
