[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 639878, member: 1550"] In my opinion, there is no excuse for violence or threats of violence (which is a form of violence) no matter what the situation. Again, and this is just my opinion, there is no way to stop your kid, or spouse, or aunt or grandma from talking to anyone. Offering advice to a grown child often leads to more anger. People will talk. If you don't want that to happen, don't shove your girlfriend. That is also a form of violence. He knows it. Hopefully he learned from it. I think natural consequences work better for grown children than getting involved in their spats and taking sides. It prolongs the problem and doesn't solve it. I mean, we can speak our minds. Once and not with judgment, a tricky combination but it is actually possible. In general our grown kids don't appreciate meddlesome parents and run from parents who get too overly involved in their personal lives. I think Oragami handled it really well, it's done, and if I were her I would not bring it up again. JMO. [/QUOTE]
