   Last night my sister that has been watching the boys after school while I am at work physically assaulted me. We had a verbal fight about how she was treating my youngest. She favors the older one and doesn't bother to hide it. It was a heated verbal argument with her demanding I get all of my S*** out of her house as she put it. I guess I wasn't moving fast enough and she started throwing things out the front door. Well, long story short i now have a tv, the boys playstation, and my laptop all in different stages of broken. She slapped and punched me in the right side of the face and trew me physically from her house. I called the police because of this and also that I still had a few items in the house.

   Needless to say it has been a hectic weekend. I am on my way to work and begging for tomorrow off to be able to find child care for the boys since she is no longer in my life. I am not sure how I will pay for this, I will have to manage it somehow.

   Needing hugs here BIG TIME!

   They should have thrown your sister in jail (unless you didn't press charges). She can't legally remove your things from the home,since she herself allowed to move in.
   You've got my HUGS & Prayers. I hope my last comment didn't offend you. I'm so emotionally distraught myself here w/Hissy being attacked again that I could easily lash out & not mean to.
   I have no words of wisdom for you but, am Praying your sister gets control of herself. I know you don't want the boys seeing the fighting but, I'm amazed that you didn't haul off & kick her A$$ like she clearly needs & deserves.

   (((JULIE))) OMG..I am just in shock. How horrible for you and the boys. I pray and hope you can find someone to watch the boys for you. I would in a heartbeat if I lived there. You and the boys are in my thoughts and prayers. Do you have any friends or coworkers that would help you out.

   Your sister is responsible for replacing the broken items. If she has homeowners insurance, you could file a claim against that. Did you file assault charges against her? That would help if you decide to pursue a claim against her.

   At the very least, you should maybe talk to the police and see if they have a victims advocate. They may have some ideas on how to get your stuff replaced and/or where to find day care. Is there a Boys and Girls club in your area?

   I agree with CBM. Your sister should replace your things she broke. I hope you presses assault charges against her. How scary for you. Sending you some hugs. Hope it all works out.

   Julie I'm so sorry your sister is so cold and cruel!! Definitely file charges against her! Whatever was she thinking? {{{{Julie & Boys}}}}

    Julie, So very sorry. Press charges! If you do you will have legal standing. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys. We love you, keep your hopes up. Ask for help from a shelter or the Boys and Girls Club or a church. Wish I could offer some assistance other than thoughts and prayers.

    Although it is difficult because the love of family, but you really need to press charges. I know this will not make anything easier, but you need to show the boys that assault and violence are not the answer to a disagreement, especially with family. She chose her behavior and there are consequences for her actions. I agree with PT on the after school situation. The Boys and Girls Club of America can be a life line! There are a lot of churches that have after school programs, and they provide transportation. You and the boys are always in my prayers.

    I'm sorry your sister acted so inappropriately, DM. Pressing charges is certainly an option. (Take photos of any injuries. If you have bruises, take photos again in a day or two.) You might also qualify for a restraining order to keep her away from you and the boys. I hope you are able to find a peaceful, safe place for you and the boys to live. You are in my prayers.

    Oh, DM, I can hardly believe this. What is your sister thinking? You do NOT need this right now. Sending you all my love and lots and lots of {{{HUGS}}} that you find great affordable childcare for the boys and things get a whole lot better real soon.

    {{{{Julie}}}} PLEASE take the wonderful advice here and file a police report and press charges. Take it from someone who knows, even though it's family, it is the appropriate thing to do. You will be teaching your boys a very valuable lesson and maybe (stress maybe) force your sister to get the help she obviously needs. Take the steps one at a time and take care of business. Perhaps one day the relationship can be saved. Perhaps. The important thing is to take care of you, take care of your boys. I'm so glad you came here. Know how loved you are. There is great advice and lots of prayers here. Mine included.

    DM, what a situation! Will keep you in my prayers that things work out so that you can be independent.

    Julie, I am so very sorry this has happened. I agree with the others-you must file charges, if only to show your children that violence is never to be tolerated and must have consequences. I hope you will soon be in a safe and secure place with much less stress. You deserve to be happy and safe.
