Chatty...I believe you did the thing a loving parent should do. It's terrible what happened but you could not stand by and let your son abuse his wife...and I daresay that he probably would have started abusing you had you allowed him to stay. The trouble with kids today, I think, is there are no consequences...I hear kids all the time smart mouth their parents in stores, demand this or that, pitch fits while their parents walk on egg shells around them so the kids won't get their feelings hurt. Screw their feelings. You did the right thing. Maybe one day your son will change and maybe one day he'll come back and thank you for showing him tough love. Chatty...my heart goes out to you.
