[quote=Anonymous]OP again-

15:20, that's what we thought and what we have been telling her. Since posting this, she admitted to me that it has been "slightly physical" (her words) with her. He raised his fist to her twice while she was holding her oldest when he was only a few months old. Then more recently, sometime in the past month, he pushed her into a door and picked her up by her wrists and forearms to move her, which put bruises on her wrists. Do you (or anyone else reading) know if this changes things regarding mandated reporting to CPS since it's not outright hitting, etc, and has rarely happened? She is adamant CPS not get involved and I worry she won't get help if that is a possibility. I want to be honest with her no matter what that means.

13:00, all great ideas, thank you! We both have offered to help her with her kids. I'll talk to our other sister about a code word and go from there. We have suggested her keeping a bag packed and hidden just in case she needs to get out immediately and she responded well to that.

Thanks for the helpful responses! [/quote]
