It's a sad story. All I can say is sometimes there isn't anything you
can do. I can't speak to the specifics of Sheldon's SIL, obviously.
But we've all heard over the years about cops hauling off an abusive
husband only to find the wife refuses to press charges out of fear of
retaliation. He's going to be released and he's going to come home.
Then what?

All too often the accompanying mental abuse has them convinced they
brought it on themselves or somehow deserved it. Abuse, both physical
and mental, is about having control and power over that other person.
It's not a simple issue.
