He managed only to send me to the hospital once & my dad once physically, but the psychological damage he inflicted was much longer lasting & the many times it could have gone worse...........are difficult to even think about. I am so sorry your dear sister-in-law was not able to escape. This is another area in which our legal system just simply SUCKS! Sorry but there is no other term that fits. Power and control males and physically/sexually abusive persons do not change and the rest of us need to be protected from them by THEM never seeing the light of day again. Again..............I'd better stop there before I start to rant endlessly. Tell your wife that she & all the loved ones of her sister are in our thoughts & prayers.

Jan, so sorry you were one of the victims of this kind of person. So glad you "made it out". Like I said I'd perfer that the perpetrators of these things were just dropped into a very deep hole and the lid closed.

Skyman, so glad your wife had a good day.
