[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 473737, member: 11791"] She is asking, right? So... don't give her an "answer". Instead, help her think it through. What is she gaining by calling the police on this family continuously? What is she losing by doing so? Where else can she spend her time and efforts with more chance of some impact? What would she gain by calling a truce? There's probably dozens of other "leading questions" that I don't even know about... but that might help her get to her "own" decision without you giving the answer directly. [/QUOTE]
