Guest guest Posted February 26, 2004 Report Share Posted February 26, 2004 Dear Althea, I gather this is your house this man is living in. My daughter is in the midst of a divorce from her husband. They were married nearly 6 years and have a 3-year old and 11-month old triplets. She is just now accepting the fact that her husband was abusive, mostly verbal and emotional but bordering on physical. She finally got the courage to stand up for herself and her children, and even for us as we were exhausting our retirement funds tryiing to support them. What your BIL is doing is abuse as well, and by ignoring it, you condone it. It's ok to be understanding and forgiving, but you are not helping him, and it sounds like he's done this sort of thing before. I pray that it doesn't become worse. For your own protection and his well being, you need to get some help for yourselves and for him. Just because you are Christians doesn't mean you have to be a door mat! Sorry if I'm preachy, but I just hate to see people be hurt. Peace, Judi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
