I'm currently dealing with domestic violence, we found out a few days ago that my sister had fled her husband's home with the children, and that it had been abusive for the last year. None of us had any idea. My mom visited them about a month ago and came back with worries but before that we had never suspected anything.

Some of the signs, isolation, mainly was already a part of her personality so it wasn't surprising when she drew further into herself.

The only signs my mom noticed was the lack of food and children's clothes in the house, and a recent change in my nephew's behavior.

I've studied dv in undergrad and law school, but I somehow missed the signs or they weren't there.

Is there anything that you would say are the most important red flags? Things that should trigger you to immediately start investigating the relationship from an outsider's point of view?

Thank you for your response, it definitely gave me a better understanding of her perspective
