Congratulations, that's awesome.

So bear with me a bit, because this is bad news that turns into good news eventually.

My SIL is a manipulative, emotionally abusive, all around terrible person. She has destroyed my BIL's (my husband's brother) self-esteem, has made his home life incredibly stressful, and just overall been completely awful to him since they got married. They already have one kid, with one more on the way. They've been to marriage counseling, but she stopped going once the therapist stopped siding with her and actually started seeing my BIL's point of view.

So anyway...he has told my husband (his big brother) all his troubles, but has told him not to tell me because he's afraid I'll tell his parents...which is laughable, as I'm not even on speaking terms with his parents ATM, but he doesn't know that. Of course, my husband has told me everything, but I've held my tongue. But he came over last night essentially carting his valuables out of his home and having us store them for him so that his evil wife doesn't sell them.

At this point, I'd had enough and asked if he'd lawyered up. He and I got into a fairly good conversation and I told him that he deserved better, but he also got really overwhelmed because my husband and I were both talking to him. He felt like we were "ganging up" on him and he stormed out. I felt awful.

Fast forward to today. He and my husband had an hour-long conversation after BIL went to the therapist, and are on for lunch tomorrow. I feel very good about this. He really, really deserves better and also needs someone to talk to.

I am glad your BIL didn't stay mad! I know how hard it can be to deal with something like that (my sister's ex was an abusive asshole). I hope he gets the help he needs (and that he hopefully will with your support).
