Sister-in-law Major issues!!!?

Question

My 24 year old sister in law is in a bit of a spot. She is in an abusive relationship, dropped out of school in the 9th grade, her sexually abusive father died because he drove drunk into a creek bed and burned to death, she has mental issues because of that and long term use of drugs(meth, coke, extacy, etc...), lives in a poor as crap household in the middle of nowhere that HARDLY qualifies for a house with, as of today, her ex boyfriend, bf's mom, and a 7 year old extremely autistic child ...well the boyfriend apparently hit her back in October and she told no one...so she calls me up because today he apparently told her "shut up before I slap your smart mouth.", her prior relationship was more abusive than this one, MIGHT I also mention that her father was the one to introduce her to doing meth...  

In the past we tried her moving in and trying to find a job...DOES NOT WORK!!! trust me. She needs help... She needs somewhere where she can get the mental treatment she needs while also getting her GED and/or vocational training. I seem only able to find the rehab's and the vocational places like Gary job corp... I think for her it may need to be girls only at least for a bit...she messed up the last time living with us by having a ton of guy over all the time and who knows what happened...I know it did with at least one. So anyhow...if, as I hope, you are reading this with a perfect answer...PLEASE let me know!! I thank you in advance!


If it's needed this is in Central Texas...

Try calling a womens shelter in your area and talk to them about her & the situation. They may be able to offer her some help. Since she has been in and sounds like she still is in an abusive situation, perhaps a domestic abuse hotline or shelter would be helpful. Many of them provide counseling, help the women find a job, get their GED and help them get back on their feet. That's what I would try first. I wish you the best. She's lucky to have family who cares about her.

"a bit of a spot" is an extreme understatment no offrnse but ur sister in law has extreme issues u need 2 contact the Department of Mental Health start having her see a psychologist u need 2 get a restraining order against both bf so they dont cause anymore harm. She needs to be put in a Rehabilitation Center and find a family member to take care of the child or it is definitely going 2 be taken from her
