Dude....wow...
As I read this, I thought it had to be a story. It seemed unreal.
He needs to leave her and he needs to take the baby. When she hits him, does she leave bruises / marks? Get him to take pictures as proof. Call up a lawyer. My Grandma (the one I don't hate) was like that (abusive, physically and mentally) with her childern and husband. She seriously messed up her kids. My mom still goes to a shrink.
As for grounds for divorce in canada. He has a valid claim for it man.
Quote:
Paragraph 8 (2) of the Divorce Act states that "Breakdown of the marriage" is established only if:
...
(b) Treated the other spouse with physical or mental cruelty of such a kind as to render intolerable the continued cohabitation of the spouses.

Like I said, get him to take pictures as proof and hire a damn laywer.
He needs to get out of that and get his life back together. I have a feeling with what he has said, that he could get sole custody. If he fears she will turn more violent, a restraining order might be needed. It sounds a bit much, but it also sounds like it is the only way. She has free reign of him right now as I doubt he will physically defend himself.
What ever happens, YOU need to do something.
