Sorry to leave you all at such a blank... this is what has been going on. My SIL has been in an abusive marriage for five years. This morning he almost hurt one of the kids. She is in the process right now of packing their things up and leaving. I've gotten this call from her before and she always ends up staying, but this time there was something in her voice that made me think that this would be it. If she doesn't get out tonight the gas company is going to turn off their heat. I am praying that she leaves. I haven't gotten a call from her in the last few hours so I'll have to keep you all posted.

Thanks so much for your kind words I'm going to need them.

I did just get some good news though, but not about this. I just got some e-mail pics of my new kitty. Even on this hard day that furry face just lifted me up.

She's waiting for a phone call from a friend so she knows that they can leave. If her husband comes home tonight she's going to leave tomorrow. I can't believe this is happening. I'm so happy I could cry.

She may want to contact her local abused women and children's shelter - they can place her in temporary housing that he can't contact them at if she's scared of him coming after her - plus they provide free counseling so she can get strong and stay strong to make this tough transition.

My daughter's father was a very abusive man - would beat me up outside in broad daylight - so I know what she's going through and just how hard it can be physically and emotionally to get out of the situation for good.

I'm here if you need me, always.

Thanks for the support all... the problem hasn't gotten better. I called today and she was still there. She found out that he's been having another affair. At this point I'm emotionally exhausted, so I'm going to have to pull back and see what I have to do now.
