That depends a great deal on what the local police are like. They may help. They may just let the family know about the complaint. Generations of abused women provide an unfortunate history of these issues.
And even if the police do help, they will not be able to provide protection. Their job is to arrest and prosecute the brother after he commits the murder. It's sad and wrong, but that is the way the system works.
I'm pretty sure he realizes it. What he doesn't want is for everyone else to realize it too.
I've been a Washington Post subscriber for almost a decade. I just cancelled.
Now I need to figure out which independent news organizations that money should go to instead.
Possibly, but life is full of risks.
What you really need is a carbon fiber shoehorn. If you do manage to deform it the thing will go right back to its original shape.
I understand the desire to get even, but it isn't likely to happen and it isn't likely to be satisfying, even if you succeed. You should focus on things that will make your life better and not things that will make someone else's life worse, even if they richly deserve it.
You are going to have to make some compromises. You are currently putting up with a situation you don't like, in exchange for the salary, side benefits, and location. That's isn't necessarily a bad tradeoff, but it is not likely to be a good long-term situation. Once management decides they have a problem with you, things are going to get worse sooner or later. It will be better for you if you leave rather than being forced out.
You need to make some decisions about which of the things you like about your situation you would be willing to give up for a better job. That will tell you what to do next. Maybe the answer is to hold out for a better position within your current organization, although the chances don't sound good. You may need to take a salary cut to find a local position that's better for you. You may need to move. You may even need to change careers entirely.
The key is to make your own decisions and not allow others to force them on you. There are a lot of factors you can't control. Focus on the ones you can. And don't stay in a bad situation with the hope that everything will work out the way you want it to.
That is a life well spent.
He's a beautiful croissant!
My 75 lb (34 kg) puppy has unusually long legs, but he's still figured out a way to fit in my lap. He has also mastered the croissant technique. Mathematicians should ask dogs for help with their unsolvable topology problems.
G.
That is a cute puppy!
It is wrong that we live in a world where some people's automatic response to anything they don't like is a death threat. People who think that way need to be educated, treated, or incarcerated. And we need to stop providing them with any form of enabling or encouragement.
Liu continues to impress me as a thoughtful and level-headed person. He seems to be dealing with his sudden fame with unusual grace.
Possibly the best line of dialog ever spoken from a movie screen.
If you can get relatives to help, do that. If not, contact a local women's shelter or other abuse-related non-profit. They may or may not be able to help directly, but they will most likely know what other resources are available.
I wish you the best.
