How do I help my brother who is being abusive towards his wife?

Vero: How do I help my brother who is being abusive towards his wife?
I’ve noticed that my younger brother is very possessive towards his wife. He always needs to know where she is and gets angry if she doesn’t answer her phone. She admitted to me that during an argument he was physical abusive pushing her. I wanted to talk to him but his wife asked me not to say anything to him cause she’s scared that he might get angry and leave. I don’t know what to do and how to help them.

U need to get someone else involved. Someone your brother would respect like a your father or uncle. His wife should not have to be afriad of him. let her stay with you if she needs to, and let her know that u will if she gets scared. if he leaves her bc she wants him 2 stop abusing her, than she shouldnt be with him.

You try to speak with the wife..you encourage her to seek out professional intervention..domestic violence is a serious crime..she needs to consider leaving him..now

Your sister in law needs to go live with her family and tell her husband (your bro) she won’t return until he changes and stops abusing her mentally and physically. Period. You help behind the scenes with her. So that way you and the bro don’t get into it. Keeps you in the clear. He must get help especially in anger management. Personally, I believe the reason he is so suspicious of her comings and goings is GUILT on his part.

But make sure she helps herself in this>> she must take a stand against him now. Physical and mental abuse go hand in hand. do it now.

Good luck
