[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Obviously her reaction wasn’t appropriate but she could be suffering PPD or is a new sleep deprived mom who was terrified her baby might’ve been hurt bc of an irresponsible teen. [/quote]

You would never excuse a man under significant work stress the same way. There is no excuse here. [/quote]

I’m a woman and a mom. But once I thought it through, I came to this same thought.

My first instinct was to be grateful the other driver was not a man. Because statistically speaking, women are much less likely to get violent than men. So as a fellow mom with a teenaged driver, I relaxed a little for OP and her son.

That said … there is no excuse for an adult driver to lose control to the point of threatening another driver like that, especially a teenager.

If it were me, I’d follow up with the police department. With my DS. If for no other reasons than to (a) ensure there is a complete record of the driver’s behavior in case there is a problem in the future, either with DS or anyone else in the community; and (b) to show my DS that it is ok - and in fact appropriate - to do what you can to advocate for your own safety and the safety of others in the community.

My guess is that the risk of future problems with this woman is very low. But it’s not zero. So act accordingly. It takes a village to keep communities safe (and perhaps to get a struggling new mother the mental help assistance she may desperately need right now.)[/quote]
