[QUOTE="rejectedmom, post: 129061, member: 2315"] Beautifully said. I had a friend many years ago whose husband would get drunk and beat her. One night she asked me for help. I offered her my home but she would not move in saying she was afraid of what he would do to all of us. I then got all the info I could on safe houses and programs and brought it to her. She refuse to get help said that he would loose his job etc. I said to her "but you told me you were afraid he will kill you someday" She replied in the affirmative. I left the brochures and phone numbers and left. She stayed and became an alcoholic and I moved away and lost touch but before I did I talked to a mutual friend who was a psycologist. He told me I had done all I could and that it was up to her now. Years later my daughter became her daughter's RA at college. (This was unbelievable since my daughter went to college in MD they were from upstate NY I believe God had a hand in it.) It was a blessing to finaly know the outcome of the family. I had wondered about and prayed for them for all those years. The family did eventually get help and the kids were grown up and reasonably OK. They both went on to become teachers in their local school district married and now have children of thier own. So it goes to show you that eventually people do over come their fears out of necessity and reach out for the right kind of help. Hopefully both your wife and your son will do this soon Mikey. In the meantime take care of you. -RM [/QUOTE]
