My alcoholic father-in-law causes problems in our marriage

Salam,

I’ve been married for 9 years and always had problems with my marriage. My husband, 8 years old daughter and I moved to Australia from USA about two years ago. My father in law and brother in law have lived in Australia and that’s where we were staying. After a little while I discovered that my father in law had a drinking problem which was causing a lot of problems between my husband and I because he didn’t agree to this marriage from the beginning. But when I used to talk to him from the US he use to say that we should visit him and that he was very sick.

I’m a mother of 3 and I been married for 4 years. Me and my husband are Muslims Alhamdulilah. For the past year he has been drinking and abusing me. He doesn’t provide food for the kids, my family have been supporting me for almost 2 years and they wont approve a divorce.

But I really sick and tired of being scared of him and him drinking around the kids.

Is it okay for Muslims to disrespect and steal from non-Muslims?

Two Muslim brothers saw a non-Muslim man lying down on the sidewalk too drunk to even get up. They took his wallet and took all his money from him.

Later they laughingly told this story to a friend of mine (another Muslim). They thought it was a great joke. My friend was horrified and told them that this was wrong and they had no right to do this. They stated that since he the fellow on the sidewalk was a kafir and drunk, that there was no wrong in it and that it was okay.
