[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How do you know this is the case? Do you socialize with SIL at all? Or are you only hearing your brother's side? [b]It takes two to tango. [/b] How old are the kids, btw?[/quote] NP here. I agree that we're only hearing one side, but if the genders were reversed, it would draw more alarm. I do think this is abusive, and certainly not healthy behavior. [b]Also, "it takes two to tango" is a classic abuser line.[/b] It's fair to assume we're only getting one side, but those kinds of excuses help no one. You can be sure that if OP's post were about a sister and controlling/manipulative BIL, that you such a line would be total victim blaming. [/quote] +1 [/quote] +2 OP, until he's ready to leave. all you can do is be there for him. Let him know that you're there for whatever he needs. Try to be supportive without judging or pushing him to leave. It'll just push him away from you.[/quote]
