Should we tell our teenage daughter about the death threat?
DEAR ABBY: While I was visiting my father-in-law, a heated conversation turned violent.
My husband, “Rob,” was helping his dad and a neighbor with a house project. His dad became upset at him, then turned on a power saw and motioned toward Rob, saying, “You’re lucky I don’t slit your throat.”
He said some other unkind things, and we left.
He has not reached out to my husband since, and Rob has deleted his phone number.
His dad sent me a text taking no responsibility for his actions and blaming Rob, which is why we have decided to cut ties for now.
We have a teen daughter, and my father-in-law has also texted her. We do not want her around him, and Rob wants to instruct her not to respond.
