I posted this as a comment on someone else's confession I just wanted to share it with more ppl. Not long ago my Husband and I were sharing an apartment with his brother and his bros girlfriend. (They had just moved out together and my husband was trying to help financially). On the second night we were there I went downstairs to get water and saw her crying in the dark I asked her what was wrong and she told me that her bf had just kicked her out of their room, insulted her and told her to go outside and sleep with the dog all because she accidentally spilled water. As soon as I heard this I told her to leave him because things could only get worse from there. We lived together for about a year and through all this time their problems escalated slowly but sure enough it went from him insulting her in front of other ppl,calling her names like bitch slut stupid, to pushing her literally giving her orders which were followed by (physical punishment if not obliged) she had to serve him in every way including making and serving every meal in bed. I had to walk by her room to get downstairs and almost on a daily basis could hear him slapping her and her crying telling him to please stop. Almost after every incident he would do something nice like bring her flowers or buy her any little thing and she would instantaneously forget about it and act liked nothing was wrong. My husband and I tried to get her to leave him with no success until one day he snapped. He attacked her and beat her up he hit her so bad her face look deformed she had to get a total of 24 stitches on her head from 3 different hematomas he beat her so badly she had to be rushed to the emergency room all the while his 4 yr old daughter saw the whole thing. No exaggeration our house looked like a murder scene blood all over the walls their bedroom walls covered in holes that he would punch in, blood puddles all over the carpet down the railing and more pools of blood outside on the porch.. My husband trying to help got punched by his own brother several times. The reason behind this savage beating? She went out to her car to grab some sodas and snacks they had left in there without telling him. The police was called and he's been in jail since late October of last yr and on the 28th of march it's his final hearing and he will be getting 7-10 yrs. I hope this helps someone out there out of a bad situation.
