[quote=Anonymous]My sister is a Religious fanatic  and is in an abusive marriage for over 23 years. She has an Autistic son -22yrs old and another son- 12yrs with allergy problems. Her husband has been treating her badly for years  and he does not support her financially and wants her to work which she tried many times but had to quit because of the various demands of her kids. He refuses to help out and has pretty much cut her out of his life. She is like a maid for him. She believes he will change for good and therefore continues to pray fervently  and listen to religious radio talk shows all the time. 
 She speaks only religion- every thing that she says has to have a Jesus , or blood of Jesus, and if we try to speak to her out of it, she screams and and calls us demons etc .,  She has in the past, on our insistence, spoken to a counselor the church suggested and he managed to convince her to leave the abusive marriage. She almost signed the papers but changed her mind at the last minute as she believes she almost committed a sin.

I am concerned for the boys as the Autistic son is not able to comprehend much and has to listen to whatever she tells him to do.
 My concern is that she needs to focus on raising her sons in a better environment and find resources to help her Autistic son to be independent,and she needs to be independent too.

Appreciate any suggestions to help her.
