Please pray for my daughters family. It is an abusive household.
Not all abuse is automatically criminal or criminally actionable… These issues can be considered… but a heavy handed approach is rarely the place to start. The O.P. asked for our prayers. Let her look for more Practical advice when she wants it, and this forum will most likely produce every conceivable response. There are specialist agencies who can give proper, tried and tested advice when the people are ready to ask for it.Hereis an answer to prayer:
Phone Social services and the police if the situation is abusive. You can just pray or you can act to bring and end to this situation. Prayer and action go together.
anruari, we don’t know the situation here. I wouldn’t minimize it. Even if the abuse isn’t criminally actionable, external intervention from authorities (e.g. police or social services) can get the woman into a better place by referring her to sources of support who will help her with a safety plan if that is needed. Sometimes a woman is more likely to listen to outsiders than she is her own family and close friends.Not all abuse is automatically criminal or criminally actionable… These issues can be considered… but a heavy handed approach is rarely the place to start.
