Mag's right, I'd see this as spousal abuse, not as a guy that has got
problems with his wife's disability. I think you ought to talk to
their priest and see what he says. If not their parish priest, then
another priest. Unless he is very conservative on such matters, the
priest should be willing to talk them about this situation.
Maybe the husband has a drinking problem, or even worse, a meth habit
(all too common these days, I fear). Thus, it's imperative that an
experienced person get in there and evaluate the situation. Think in
terms of saving that lovely child from harm as well as her mother.
I think the clergy has a moral, if not legal responsibility to report
it to the authorities if he sees that this is a dangerous situation
for the woman and her child. But something does need to be done.
Too many women die or become severely disabled at the hands of
abusive men.
