[quote=Anonymous]So, you don't know what caused the initial fight? That is tough. Clearly whatever it was, it escalated beyond reason. I think you did the right thing on the phone. I don't know about you telling her about the language, but the rest is fine. I see it as you trying to diffuse the issue and keep people calm. I hope your cousin can stay with you for a few days, so everybody can calm down. I would find out if there was physical violence at home. Little slap on the arm or such will not alarm the CPS and the police but more will. Do be careful, while mom is clearly not in control of her temper, teens also lie, exaggerate and make huge drama out of issues that might not be that big. I am not saying your cousin is doing that, I think there are huge issues and it might not be her at all, but teens are not rational beings part of the time. It is too bad that her mother is acting immature and verbally abuse as well. Good luck.[/quote]
