Hello all,
My oh is one of three brothers, he doesn't get in with the youngest - youngest has many insecurities, has been quite selfish as they were grown up, never worked and lived off the parents and blames my oh for always stealing the limelight (go figure, he has a job kids and home).
Anyway oh bro has only been married a few years , has a baby and is treating his wife badly - not helping at all with kid, and being mentally and verbally abusive to her, but he doesn't talk to either me or my OH, so I know he wouldn't take kindly to her opening up to me of all people.
I've asked her to talk to him , try counselling or talk to his mum or other bro whom he gets on with, yet she keeps sending me his abusive texts, and complaining about him. I just don't want him to have another reason to have a go at OH about - oh knows she's confiding in me and said I'm an adult and can talk to whom I want, I wouldn't say we're mates as such and I don't know how else to help other. Also feels she's venting rather than wanting to take any action.
What would you do ?
