Sister in law punched wife-options?

[RobertB]

Irving's really maturing and strengthening as a person. Not long ago, he was too embarrassed to talk about how his little sister would beat him up all the time. Stay strong, brother Stu!

Not trying to be a Dick, but if I was a million miles away from home and that happened to my wife, I would tell her to stay away from her sister and parents, and if she didnt want to, I would tell her not to tell me when it happens and let her deal with what ever she gets. But with your kid that's another story, your wife is as bad as them continuing to let your kid be exposed to that sort of abuse. Just my .02

My wife cut them off.

My wife cut them off.

That will be hard for her. Even crappy family are still family. Good thing she has you and you will be coming home to her.

Be safe. Nothing in that place worth a drop of your blood.

For sure man, but I cut my thumb on the DFAC crab legs last night, so I guess there's SOMETHING worth my blood here. They were delish.

She did the right thing, but as Cstone has said, family are the hardest people to cut off. Expect long periods of zero contact, then some tentative visits, then when things are relaxed the drama will start all over again. Expect this to be the established cycle from now on.

I agree, as hard as it is to do sometimes it's the best, and only, real option. Hopefully they will come to realize (sooner, rather than later) that it's the result of a serious problem and will at least start trying to come up with a real solution. I hope it works out for you guys.

Enjoy the crab legs. DFAC chow is way better than what we get here; there are so few of us we have to deal with local food, although our cook has been trying to make things we like. If you don't watch how they make it and what from, some of it's edible. The rest of the time, we live on food that we bring back from the 1-2 trips a month that land us somewhere with a real Commissary. Frosted Flakes, oatmeal, Uncle Ben's Ready Rice packs, and hot dogs. Wow, I can't believe I miss DFAC food...
