They are in the process of breaking up. She was going to move back into our parents at the beginning of Nov. This has obviously now changed. She is immediately moving out tonight.
We have tried to convince her to press charges. She will not. I luckily have pictures of it all. I have cried over this a lot already. I am so angry. I want to hurt him back for hurting my baby sister. But I will not risk losing my children for someone so stupid.
She did not hit him first. He had been drinking. That is the excuse she gave us. She said it is the first time he did this. I worry that he will and would do it again. He has a temper... and then I worry for my nephew.
I don't know if I can forgive her ex for this. I try to always forgive, but I don't know about this one....
It's ironic that October is also Domestic Violence Awareness month.....
If you or someone you know is a victim of this awful crime.... please seek help. And donate to those organizations who help the women, children AND men who are victims. Without us, they do not always have a voice.

This makes me so mad! I don't know why they think they could do it and get away with it. GOOD for your sister leaving that situation, GOOD for you for being there for her and staying STRONG.

oh, god, em. i'm so sorry to learn this. it's so difficult to see a loved one go through something like this and try to make excuses for the person who hurt them... love is a funny thing. i hope your sister can pick herself up, dust herself off, learn from the experience and cleanse the YUCK from her life. i know you'll be a great shoulder for her to lean on, and she's lucky to have you. my heart goes out to her, and to that poor little boy who's now stuck in the middle of something ugly. :(
i am so sorry to hear you are going through this!i hope she is alright and all i can say is i am a HUGE believer in Kharma
Good for your sister for leaving on a dime. She's very strong for doing so and is very lucky to have you all for support. I'm a survivor of Domestic Violence at one of it's worse. I understand you first hand when you say that you don't know if you can ever forgive him. Just know that this will only make your sister stronger now. Hope everything works itself out.
