I think a family member is being abused - what to do

[Trunkella]

I’m very close to my sister. I overheard her being called a s@@@@@, f@@@@@@ c@@@ by her DH - and a door being slammed. Her 2 children froze as if they were used to it - and mentioned something about Daddy being mad again. I texted her to ask if she was ok - and she messaged back about a different subject. A day or so later I messaged that I loved her, and that I’m always there for her. What do I do?

How awful, you must be so worried. There is some info here

Thank you - I’ve just read through the points. In her case, she’s not talking about it - and I don’t want to make her upset by implying something, I think it’s best that she comes out with it first? I don’t want to make matters worse.
