husband pushing 19yr old daughter

[kidder50]

My husband got into a row with our 19yr old daughter they both lost their temper and he got into her face and pushed her. He seems to completely lose it when he gets really angry but it happens rarely, maybe once every 6 months if that and he has never raised a hand to us before other than once when he pushed me about 2 years ago. He thinks I am over reacting when I say it was unacceptable behavior. Am I? after all he didn't hit her or hurt her, but it was frightening.

You are not over reacting. Completely unacceptable.

Post this in Relationships. It's not an ethical dilemma, it's a relationship problem.

The biggest problem is that he doesn't see anything wrong with what he did. That is very worrying.

if thiswas me id kick him out . even if its just a push n hes not normally like that, hed be on the doorstep, cos id never allow a bloke to lay a finger on my kids. my mum was disowned by my sis cos my stepdad shoved her about n she didnt stop him. i know for a fact shell never talk to her again.

your right to have stepped in.

Well he pushed you once and you did nothing about it, of course he is going to think there is nothing wrong with it.

If my DH pushed a stranger I would be on the strangers side as physical violence is totally unacceptable.

Your poor daughter must be completely mixed up.
