Hi Lon, my sweetie and I are going back up to Mum's tomorrow morning. The girls will be with their dad, so we adults can talk about all of this. One of the things that my sweetie and I are going to raise is the idea of keeping the girls out of that house as long as he is there. They have a loving father, who would no doubt take them until then, or they can probably stay with my Mum, so they can stay in their schools.
My sweetie and I had a long talk about all of this last night. His fear is that next time, my sister won't survive. His biggest fear is that none of them will survive. He has a visceral gut response to the boyfriend. Has had since the first time they met. Sets his teeth on edge.
I cannot get away from the 'coincidence' that 3 weeks ago my sister was firm about the fact that he was not coming back, 2 weeks ago he had my sister removed from the tribunal and said he never wanted to see her again, one week ago, he got out of hospital. Two days later, she tries to kill herself??? All kinds of suspicions are running through my brain.
I fear it's too soon to be pushing her on this. Don't want to lose her altogether. Afraid if we don't push, she won't survive.
Thank you for the warning about avarice and malice. I know we cannot act from anger or hatred. That never comes out well.
Agape,
