Your nephew must be completely devastated. The whole family, really.
Family disputes, escalation, maybe mental illness or desperation...all can get nasty as we've seen.
So tragic.
Hopefully they can get her some help. I think he should get some crisis counseling too. The danger here is that HE doesn't get the help he needs, Tibs. She will be evaluated by the court system as part of the process, but he...could fall
through the cracks. Suggest you make sure he gets some help if you can. Your brother-in-law's family too.
IDK what to say.
Morning snails.
