[quote=Anonymous]This must be heartbreaking to witness. I second what others say. Do everything to keep contact and an open ear to him. It's likely your brother is afraid to lose access to the child if he left, and the abusive partner may be threatening that. Also find out if he's financially free i.e not being held hostage which might also be keeping him there. Because of the signs of physical abuse, he may need help urgently. Do you know any of his close friends who can help intervene? I also found myself estranged from family and in an abusive marriage (no kids)... was only abused for a year yet it was so soul crushing and completely destroyed my sense of self-esteem and reality. I was seriously suicidal. It must be much worse for him after so long. Do not cease contact even if he pushes you away in a hurtful manner. Keep checking in gently.[/quote]
