[quote=Anonymous]Something to consider OP: statistically speaking, women are at their greatest risk after they leave an abusive relationship. Couple that with the mental illness, and your SIL may be making the tactical decision that it's too dangerous to leave. Read the paper any day of the week, and you'll likely see a story about a homicide or murder-suicide, and it's almost always right after the woman announced she was leaving was was preparing to leave. In your case, a statement to her something along the lines of "I believe he's harming you, and you don't deserve that. Just know I will always be here to help and support you, should you choose to leave or stay. The violence is about him, but your safety and the kids' safety is my main concern. I'm here if you need me."[/quote]
