Taking up some space 2 vent

[Rude_Reds]

Hi all. I'm 4 months preg with my 2nd child for my ex... He lives 5 houses away from me (I'm from Trinidad & Tobago btw). He lives with his dad (who's away at work most times), his brother and two sisters.
A couple of nights ago his youngest sister confided in me about some problems she was having with the other sister. I told her coming from a mostly female family that I couldn't stress enough the importance of being close with ur sisters and I really didn't agree with what was going on between them. I never badmouthed anybody, I was giving advice. The other sister decided I was talking about her behind her back and decided to try starting an argument. Trying not 2 stress myself out, I left (if u know me, u'll know that was really hard 2 do. I never walk away from a confrontation).
A next day I had to drop my son 2 c his dad. We were talking and we started 2 argue. Nobody realised we were arguing bcuz we were talking quietly. The sister who was trying to start an argument jumped in the argument and starting telling me stuff. Needless 2 say, I told her back some pretty hurtful stuff myself.
I normally drop my son across there myself but I don't think I'll be able to control myself if she attacks me again. The last time we got into something, I ended up physically beating her bcuz she took my son who was a baby at the time and hid him where she was living at the time. I'm sorry but when it comes to my children, all common sense flies out the window. I'm like a lioness with her cubs (ironically I'm a Leo. Lol).
My ex says it's my fault bcuz apparently I'm supposed to stay quiet and let her tell me stuff cuz I'm at their place but no matter how much my dad hates him, when he used to come across by my house, my dad would never tell him anything bad.
This girl also has no qualms about badmouthing me when my son is around. Should I avoid sending my son across there at all? I don't know what to do and I really don't want it to reach the point of physical violence again cuz I really don't want this baby to be endangered.

Hi there,

I didn't want to read and run, but I don't know what you should do! It's a difficult situation - could you had your son over to his dad somewhere else, not where his sisters would be to prevent confrontation?

Arguing in front of kids is never a good idea. I used to be confrontational, but now i avoid conflicts like the plague as I can see my daughter gets nervous around raised voice.

Hope this helps
