Dear Amy: There was a physical altercation between my 32\u002Dyear\u002Dold son and 26\u002Dyear\u002Dold daughter one evening, when both were very drunk.
They were in the room alone, so no one knows exactly what happened, except that my son ended up pushing my daughter to the floor and throttling her.Sign up to receive daily headline news from the Calgary SUN, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.

Apparently, my son is insisting that my daughter bit him and he was protecting himself. My daughter doesn’t remember. This would mean him forgoing attending Thanksgiving and Christmas, and probably cause a permanent rift with him, which makes my heart sick.Dear Sick at Heart:You should attend to your daughter’s needs and assist her as she goes through the legal process. If her drinking is causing her to black out, you should encourage her to confront her alcohol use.Naturally, you are very upset, angry and worried.
As with his sister, you should express concern over his drinking and urge him to get help. And you should tell him, “I’m horrified by what you’ve done. I’m very worried about you and the damage your behaviour has done to your sister and the rest of the family. But I’m your mother, I love you, and that will never change.”
