Hi, was staying with my partner last night. His 20yr old son lives with him and we all get on great. We had gone for a few drinks and met his son and girlfriend while we were out. Son was quite drunk and became very verbally abusive to his dad in the pub. We left and went home to bed and shortly after that his son arrived home and continued being verbally abusive and goading partner to fight. Things got very heated and they eventually ended up in a tussle. I intervened and told both of them they were wrong, gathered my things and left as I couldn't handle the tension/atmosphere. A few friends have said I was wrong and should have stayed in support of my partner but I felt it was better to go and leave them to sort things out this morning...hopefully.
I never felt in any way under threat but the episode has left a bad taste. Thanks.
