My sister's husband has never liked me and has always been jealous of our close relationship. For years he has tried to break us up. He took her and their kids far away into the country and
has actually poisoned her against me. She has changed a lot and no longer likes me. She hasn't spoken to me for two years - infact
my sister hasn't spoken to my brothers for many years also.
He has always hated our phone calls and emails and I found out later that he read the emails I sent to her.
Is this a form of domestic violence?

A man will isolate his wife in order to completely dominate and control her thoughts and feelings. This is one of the steps in domestic violence that keeps a woman from being able to have any type of support system which would eventually help her break free of the bonds of this sick relationship.

Yes he probably is jealous of your bond with your sister. The fact that your sister hasn't phoned you means time has passed without her noticing, it doesn't mean she dislikes you !!! I don't know how old you are but, when you get to a certain age, time passes very quickly because you have so many things to do and think about. Why don't you just phone your sister once a month when you know he's not there? Living in the country is far safer than living in a large town or city so maybe her husband was thinking of the surroundings more than isolating her. The email thing is down to your sister. She could just as easily arrange the computer so that her emails are private.
I hope you can resolve this problem of yours and feel content once again with your sisters friendship.

The coin always have two sides, however, the way you are describing it, it shows a possessive personality with whom follow the rule that he is the boss, and she just have to sit and follow and don't try to challenge it. If your sister agrees as well with your statement, then it is a form of domestic violence and it is mostly categorize by mental abuse. Someone in that type of situation has to be monitored closely because things could happen to her without you being aware of it.

Its not domestic violence but could be a sign of it - isolating the victim from their friends/ family. Is there any way that you can communicate with your sister to find out if she is okay? I would be a little worried about her if I were you.

What he may be doing to her is.Him keeping her away from her family is mot considered domestic abuse.I'd say that your sister still loves you and her brothers,it' just that he is keeping away from you,and is monitoring everything she does to keep it that way.

No. It's sad and wrong, but unfortuately your sister made a horrible choice for a husband and she has to live with that. It sounds like this guy is a selfish, manipulating control freak. It's mental abuse, but thats about it.

It's not domestic violence (that is only physical) but it is emotionally abusive and controlling.
