This episode hit home for my mother who endured abuse by my uncle since she was 5. There was no such thing as an abusive sibling as it was always chalked up to "just sibling rivalry". Even when she showed bruises to the school nurse or called police, once they found out it was her brother, it was just dismissed. Now my uncle was not quite as psycho as Henry, but he did threaten her with weapons on several occasions. Finally when she was 18 and it wasn't up to my grandmother to press charges, he finally stopped. Even years later when he apologized, he would explain why it wasn't his fault and why she provoked it. My grandmother and great-grandmother always excused him "he was angry about the divorce". My mom was almost in tears watching this. She said this is the only show she's ever seen that addresses the issue. It is important that people understand that this is an issue and you can't assume they'll grow out of it. My uncle didn't now he's facing serious prison time. THANK YOU SVU FOR BRINGING THIS TO LIGHT!
