Pray for my little sister
She had a bad night with the boyfriend last night. He tried to come into my mother's home while my mom was at work and my sister was there with the baby. I haven't gotten the details because she called a safe house, and was taken to safety after my mom got home. My mom told me that she was on the floor crying and holding my nephew this morning when she got home and that she thought he was going to kill them.

sherryb,
I am so sorry that your sister had to go through that. I am glad that she went to a safe house. Please tell your mom to be careful, since the bf seems to be a little crazy at this point. I am sending prayers for you and your family.
Hugs coming to you

I hope she went to a safe house through a women's crisis line or shelter. If not, have her contact them and they will make sure she is safe. They will also arrange for an order against him so that if he tries to contact her, he will be arrested.
I volunteer with abused women and a women's home, and it makes my heart break to see these women afraid of the one person they should be able to trust.
Please encourage her to be careful, there is a cycle to abuse and it includes the "I'm sorry" and flowers (this is called the honeymoon phase). It never last and each attack is usually worse than the last.
I'm sending prayers for all of you, this must be very upsetting.
Hugs

The bottom line is this: even if I DO say something inappropriate or "wrong", it still doesn't give anyone an excuse to abuse me mentally, physically or emotionally. Abuse is wrong. PERIOD.
I am so very sorry your sister had to go thru that. Please have her get in touch with a shelter so they can help her and the baby.
Hugs

This is so sad and so scarey. You sister did the smart thing going to a shelter.
I do worry about your mom. I have been scared because I was living alone when my daughter was off doing her thing. Some of the people she brought here were scary.
I often thought they might come back and try to rob me. We don't have that situation anymore because she isn't allowed to bring anyone here unless I know them. She got rid of all of the deadbeats in her life. Thank God.
Stay safe.........Lo

Thanks guys, I haven't heard from her yet myself, but she did call my grandmother's house and talk to my mom yesterday.
She knows all about the honeymoon phase and that she shouldn't feel like it's all her fault. I had printed out a lot of information about abuse online and that was why she decided to leave him. She had left about 6 weeks ago, but was staying with my mom. She had been allowing him to come and see the baby, but once he realized he couldn't convince her to come back with him, he got mad.
I still don't know what he did to her Monday night because I haven't talked to her yet. She didn't tell my mom because our mom is bipolar and she gets upset easily.
