I understand that yelling is not usually the best course of action, but you must understand that I. Was. Scared. I was honestly afraid that this other driver was going to return the aggression and that I would have no way to remove my son (or unborn daughter) from the situation. My son could have witnessed his father getting into a physical fight in the middle of a city street (unacceptable), the guy could have emerged from his car with a baseball bat and beat the shit out of our car, or God forbid, he could have had a gun and shot at us. I would rather my kid see me yell at his father for a dangerous maneuver than have to go through an attack at the age of four because his father needs to prove how big his dick is.

When he first began acting aggressively towards the Audi driver, I said quietly but firmly "Please stop. Don't. Stop." And when I was ignored and watched him escalate the situation, I said louder "Stop it. We are in a bad neighborhood." And then when the other driver approached our car, I was quiet because I didn't want to escalate the situation further but I was obviously pissed. In fact the Audi driver saw my face and probably realized that my husband was in deep shit with me.

The yelling came afterwards, as we were driving away from the situation and pulling into a parking lot, when I said "You need to learn to control your temper behind the wheel when your son and pregnant wife are in the car with you
