I suport u because maybe eventully she will know not to let him treat her that way because of you taking a stand against that behavor now , GOD works in weird ways but I'm sure if u pray on it GOD will giv u direction needed We never know what the future brings ....

THE WORD OF GOD SAYS EVEN LORD JESUS SAID, FORGIVE A PERSON THAT HAS WRONGED YOU SEVEN TIMES SEVENTY TIMES."

Can u and she set aside a time to talk at a public location so you can share, in as non blaming way as possible, why u are so upset? Also ask yourself what is it u want from het/him...if u don't get that result, can u live with it, continue to love her and forgive, even if you have to not be around them to keep yourself safe...afterall, he did hit u. On the glipside, what was your role in the altercation and do u need to do some self forgiveness? From personal experience I can tell you that grudges, anger and resentment usually hurt and bother u more than the person user upset with. Decide what your boundaries are, clearly ask for them to be followed, and decide if you are ok not attending this or other functions they may attend...as well as who else will get hurt as a result of the upset. Can you take the high road humbly? Ask send?

Sorry, meant ask wwjd?

Speaking from personal experience ; my younger brother and dad are/ were not speaking and as of yesterday, my baby sis is not speaking to my dad....and maybe not even me...ABD She lives with me. And I can tell you also that selfish pride has played a big part. ALCOHOL HAS PLAYED AN EVEN LARGER PART IN THIS FIASCO. I TRAVEL 100 MILES TO SEE 2 BROTHERS AND A DAD AND I HAVE TO SPEND THE 7 HRS I HAVE DRIVING TO THREE DIFFERENT HOUSES TO SEE EVERYONE CAUSE THEY WILL NOT GATHER TOGETHER IN ONE PLACE! THINK ABOUT THINGS LIKE THAT. IT STARTED OUT AS LYING. AND ITS ENDING BIG AS A MOUNTAIN ABD A BROTHER WHO IS TERMINALLY ILL. A DAD, A BROTHER, AND NOW A SISTER ...ALL FIGHTING....DO YOU WANT ALL YOUR FUTURE TO BE THAT WAY? SOMEWAY, THAT ONLY YOU AND THEY KNOW, HE GOT MAD ENOUGH TO SMACK YOU. WAS ALCOHOL INVOLVED IN THIS GET TOGETHER? IF IT WAS, DONT DRINK THERE ANYMORE. TALK, LIKE THE ABOVE PERSON SAID.
BUT TO MAKE IT BETTER FOR THE FAMILY AND THE GET-TOGETHERS- SWALLOW THE ANGER AND HURT. YOU DONT HAVE TO HUG HIM - JUST BE CIVIL AND POLITE. IT TAKES ALOT OF ENERGY AND FUEL TO KEEP A FUED GOING. ITS NOT WORTH THE BROKEN HEARTS THAT IT CAUSES. YOU HAVE OTHER PEOPLE TO CONSIDER. TAKE THE HIGH ROAD. GODSPEED.

Yes there was alcohol involved but to me that to me is an excuse on why he would feel like he can physically hit me. I'm not his wife or anything I'm his sister in law and drunk or not drunk he lost total respect on putting his hands on me,regardless of what the situation might have been. A man for no reason has the,right to hit a woman especially one that isn't his.My husband was there too and seen it happen and they were long time friends but since this incident my husband does not want to further that,friendship TOTAL DISRESPECT hitting another mans woman in his face. My bro in law has a bad,violent,aggresive charector and I know that and I will not tollerate to physically deal wit his behaviour I am not his wife and he had no right. What hurt even more was my sister and how she doesnt understand the seriousness of his behaviour and the boundries he shouldnt have crossed. Now she hits me with this (get out,of my life for not letting it go) adding more insult to injury .... I love her but I will not accept that type of behaviour around me or my family its like being around,a bomb you dont know when its goin to go off or walking on eggs shells @ him. I will not encourage or feed into his immature charector. I have two kids and I also as a parent need to look out for the safety of my family, being around charectors like that can only lead to trouble and problems . My sister doesnt seem to do anything about this its like she is in his world and not the real world were that is serious what he did she sees it like "so he slapped you everybody has accidents while drunk get over it lets move on and b a family" well she can but I wont ever accept that kind of behaviour around me or my family. My #1 job is to never put myself or my children and family in a dangerous situation or atmosphere. That new years eve I did that ,but I wont again untill they both understand and get it threw their heads "nothing gives you the right to cross boundries you shouldnt especially one where the husband of my baby sis feels he's courageous enough to slap another mans woman in front of him.... and his sister in law @ that . Total disrespect drunk or not it is intollerable behaviour and I don't want it @ me. Fool me once shame on you ,fool me twice shame on me. I love my sis and I will continue praying over this matter till it is resolved but,for now I prefer not to be around him the safety boundry has been burned and now I know me being around him will only lead to trouble. I can forgive in time but I wont forget ever and things will always b diffrent now.

A person that your brother-in-law respects and knows he did wrong by slapping you-his sister-in-law needs to have a talk to make your brother-in-law realize big time that it was very bad thing he did to you. Seems he can't handle his social drinking. He could also have a demon. I had to convince my brother-in- law not to hit my spoiled sister which was not his wife. It happened at my father's funeral. I just kept talking to Jim. Not now it's not the right time. Think about it. He wanted to spank my spoiled thirty-six year old sister. Now they are ok. SOMEONE NEEDS TO TELL HIM HE DID YOU WRONG LIKE A COUNCELOR OR FAMILY FRIEND HE RESPECTS. AMEN IT WORTH A TRY FOR YOUR SISTER'S SAKE NOT TO MENTION FOR HIS SAKE. HE NEEDS TO KNOW HE CAN'T SLAP A FA
ILY MEMBER. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR SISTER. YOUR SISTER NEEDS TO KNOW THAT ALSO.
