[quote=Anonymous]I would tell her, "I love you, and your husband is at minimum, verbally and emotionally abusive - to you, your kids, our parents, me and my husband. If you want to leave, I will help you. If you don't want to leave now but do want to leave 2 months, a year, 3 years from now, I will help you. You can always come to me. But I will not subject myself to his verbal abuse anymore. I would like us to continue to have our relationship. You are my sister and I love you." And then don't bring it up again. Keep inviting her (alone or with her kids but not with the husband) to things - lunches, shopping, nails, whatever. When her kids are obnoxious or verbally abusive you can say "Hey! You can't talk to my sister like that! I wouldn't let someone talk to you that way and I won't let you talk to her that way." [/quote]
