What? Even if you'd been told that your son was being physically abusive to his wife, his children had witnessed it and were clearly upset and frightened? You'd stay silent?

You cant ignore domestic violence, but I'd need more than one account of pushing into pool (I'm presuming a swim pool?)

For your gc sake, you need to talk to the parents.

I’m with crazyH on this. Remember there’s always 2 sides to every story though.

most husbands and wives have arguments, but physical attack (which pushing in the pond, is) should not be tolerated. Yes, you should talk to your son, without getting your grandson into trouble .

My grandsons told me yesterday that their mum and dad had been fighting and were going to split up. They said dad had pushed mum in the pond and they were shouting a lot. The boys were clearly very upset. I had heard from my son that things were pretty bad but they seemed OK together when I saw them last time. Should I talk to them about this or should I keep out of it?
