My uncle has been in a relationship for 15 years. They have three children together. His partner often hits him, she has pushed him out of a window on a two storey house, almost castrated him, pushed him down stairs, hit him over the head with dog cans, hockey sticks etc. If he tries to defend himself she calls the police and they believe that he's the violent one. I lived with them and saw all of this. He won't leave her even though at times he says he wants to.
Lately when she gets angry, if I'm there she will also attack me. Just the other night she picked up a shovel and went to hit me over the head with it. He grabbed it off her and stood between us so that she couldn't do as much to me. I ended up with concussion though from the amount of times she hit me in the head.
I don't want to make things worse for him but I don't think either myself nor him should put up with this. He's facing stuff that he really needs me to be there for but she's making it impossible.
