DYK I still can't believe no one is concerned about the IUD.


DYK I hope you get something figured out.

DYK - so maybe it is your body trying to catch up to itself?


DYK - here's a random thought...


DYK - what about hypnosis to get rid of your sugar cravings?

DYK - sounds like he is playing mind games with your sister - a form of abuse


DYK- for her sanity and that of the boys, I personally think she needs to get out of that marriage!

DYK she's happy. She isn't ready to give up yet.


DYK they haven't really talked though, he's just texted her a few times from work. So they have't really worked anything out yet.

Katy,


I've followed along with the situations with your sister, and she's being abused. She's isolated, dependant and he's waging mental and emotional warfare on her.


You and your family have got to step in and help her - it seems obvious she's not in a position to help herself. Get her and the children out of there.

DYK my mom and I completely agree that he's controlling and emotionally abusive. But my sister isn't ready to give up yet. She wants it to work.


DYK don't get me wrong, if it were me I would have been gone a LONG time ago.

Do you really think she's happy? That sounds incredibly odd considering what all you've shared with us. The whole thing gives me a really bad feeling and I don't even know her.

Jenny, I really wish it were that simple. I would love nothing more than to go pick them up today and have them live with me or my parents, but I know she wouldn't leave. Over the past new months, she's started to see that he's too controlling, but she thinks they can work through it if he just tries and she's starting to stand up for herself. She thinks the isolation issues will change when they move to Seattle because they'll be living with my parents.


I have to be careful how much I encourage her to leave because it could backfire and she could just stop talking to me. I'm hoping that once she gets into counselling after they move, that she'll start seeing just how bad her situation is.
