Struggling with third hand domestic abuse

Long story but short version my wife is being domestically abused (emotionally) by her ex and father to my step child.

I am being there for my wife and supporting her in anyway I can. She has a charity that is helping her also for women who are victims of domestic abuse. I just feel like I need someone to talk to about coping with the affect his he is having on me too. I feel the pain of his actions too but I am using all my strength helping my wife through. He just makes me so angry and its taking all of mental strength dealing with it all.

Sorry to hear that @ImReallyTr1ying. Can imagine that’s really tough to handle.

Can you involve the police? Inform her ex’s employer?

Make sure you take some time out for you as imagine it’s all consuming.

Sounds absolutely awful and I can imagine it’s hard to deal with as the partner. Is there anything you want to share?
