Do you likehosting holidays? Personally, I love it – perhaps even more than visiting someone myself. It’s so great to create a warm atmosphere for pleasant people, treat them to something tasty, have a heart-to-heart talk about all sorts of interesting things…
Of course, if the guests are really pleasant to talk to. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Especially when these guests turn out to be one ofyour relatives. As was the case, for example, with theuser u/RestaurantFair9097, the author of our story today.

So, the Original Poster (OP) is a 26-year-old married woman, and she’s currently 18 weekspregnant. Sometimes the husband’s sister and her two sons come to visit the author and her husband. The youngest boy is 6 years old, and he’s very polite and well-mannered, but unfortunately, this cannot be said about the older one, 15-year-old “Riley”.
The original poster doesn’t go into detail, but she does say that Riley has literally had problemswith alcoholand even worse substances since he was a kid. The teenager has also had legal issues, and he has already undergone therapy more than once to cope with all this stuff.
One fine day, the SIL and her husband asked the author to let the children stay at their home while they went to a friend’s funeral. They agreed – however, at some point, Riley didn’t like that his uncle moved his jacket, and he started yelling at him. An argument ensued and the woman intervened, asking the teen to leave to calm down a bit.
He agreed, but when they were walking along the corridor together, Riley suddenly changed his mind and, forcefully shoving the author away, rushed back into the room to continue the conflict with his uncle. The OP hit a jacket hook with her head hard enough to draw blood.

“Moreover, as I get it, the victims in this situation didn’t report him to the police, so as not to aggravate the already difficult situation for the troubled teenager. Sohis mothershould be grateful for this, and not offended. And actually to do her best in order to protect the son from even bigger problems in the future,” Irina concludes.
