You always get tempted to intervene in your own way if you find out that your relative, sister or brother is going through domestic abuse, right? Relationship expert Wanjiku Waititu advises against this, urging relatives to encourage victims to seek professional help instead. She says in-laws should avoid getting involved because emotional attachment may make them biased. Relatives should only intervene if there is a risk of harm to the partners or children, and such intervention should be objective.
