Wiz, I almost didn't open this thread . I've seen this scenario play out with more friends and family members than I care to admit . My baby sister is married to a bipolar recovering alcoholic. He's destroyed her credit, verbally abused her etc. etc. He is medicated and not drinking anymore but I still worry. They don't have any kids together, thank God. Sometimes I wish she would just divorce him now because of all of the things he's done.

I really hope your relative can stick to her guns and not take him back especially for her child's sake.
