I think my sister is being or has been a victim of domestic violence.
There's a history of behaviour which might be construed as distancing her from the rest of the family but could just be being busy. I was told by another family member that she'd just found out that it had been going on for years. Police have been called and children are/have been involved.
I haven't spoken to her yet but wonder if anyone else has advice. Anyone been through something similar? I'm concerned that if I handle it wrong that I'll end up making the situation worse but the status quo is obviously untenable. Trying not to make her isolate herself.
