I recently moved in with my sister and brother in law in march. i have had to start taking stronger meds and see a councilor once a week to try and help but it is getting worse. he yells all the time at the kids (2 mine, 4 his) at my sister, and nothing. When he wakes up, when he is tired. it makes me want to climb in a hole. My husband hates living here in the hostility. He used to be the strongest guy i knew. I leaned on him for all of my crazy. now i feel like the sane one. Here is my question. Can we break a lease that ends in march 2019 for emotional diress on just the word of my councolr? I do not want to file an official restraning order against my brother in law. I would never be able to see my sister or my neices/nephew again if I did that. This enviorment is hostil for sure. the tension is so thick it cannt be cut with a army knife. but i dont know what to do. I will not lose my husband over this and he is ready to walk. help.
Hi, if you could both speak to your brother in law that would be the best solution but guess that's not possible? I'd check the lease and see if there is a clause in it to say you could leave but have to give say a months notice.
It sounds like a very toxic situation to be in and if nothing is going to change you need to be away from it one way or another.
what does your sister say about all this is she supportive or defensive over it?
I can't really offer much advise I'm afraid but for the sake of you, your husband and your children either he needs to start yo act reasonably or you leave.

If your husband walks then you must go with him, the consequences can be sorted later.
Hi l am so sorry you have to live in this hostile environment however I would assume if your illness is being worsened by your living situation and you have evidence to prove that you should be able to get out of your lease.l would suggest if you are from the UK to ring the citizens advice bureau or go to a solicitor.Your brother in law sounds like a real bully so seek advice as soon as possible.
