miker, I will pray that God renew the relationship of your daughter and son-in-law. O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. May my heart reflect the purity of intention within your Immaculate Heart.

I have been praying for your daughter and thinking of her a lot in general. I don’t know the details of what your SIL is doing but I would suggest that your daughter prepares in advance what she is going to say to her husband especially if he often says the same things to her. I am not suggesting that she do the same thing to him that he is doing to her but I think that she should think about what she can say that will help make him stop and think about what he is doing or at the very least it will let him know that he does not have control over her when he is being verbally abusive. I am almost certain that you can find videos of this online. I just came across a YouTube channel called Charisma on Command which may have something helpful. I’m sure that it will take some time to witness a change but I hope this helps. edited to add: Maybe your SIL is affected adversely by low blood sugar. Then your daughter should try and buy healthy snacks and carry some with her and offer them to him when he is waiting for a meal to be ready. This could be a relatively easy fix, I hope so.
I will also pray for Katherine and this sad family situation Miker. There is nothing more painful than seeing a child suffer. And because of your SIL, what a loss for your daughter and for the family too. I've been there too with the struggles not to get angry, it's a real fight against bad temptations. I know that your daughter is suffering, but at the hands of her husband. Have you brought out the big guns for this man? Having a mass said for him, deliverance prayers for him, fasting for him? We often pray certain prayers for specific people, like the St Michael's prayer or the Our Father, naming the person for whom it is intended. Prayers are like the soldiers going out ahead first in a battalion, but along the lines of Carol's post, I hope that Katherine has also found support in the world too.
