This is how one woman felt when she considered stopping her teenage nephew from visiting her home after she had a frightening altercation with him in her sister's apartment. She was helping her sister move in, and things escalated quickly when her nephew refused to join in the effort of moving.
She felt that it was unfair to have the boy around her own children, and she did not trust that it was safe, and she didn't think her sister was doing enough to try and correct his behavior. She wondered if it would be too inappropriate to say that he wasn't welcome at Thanksgiving.

Aunt refuses to let 15-year-old in home after he lashes out while she helps her sister move apartment: 'Not once have I been offered an apology'
Deciding to cut contact with a family member is rarely an easy decision. Even when it seems like an obvious choice to an outsider, there is often some hesitancy in saying goodbye to somebody as close as a relative even if it is intended to be temporary. Few enjoy the idea of tearing their family apart, but there are situations in which it is unavoidable.
These kinds of dilemmas can be especially difficult when the individual that somebody needs separation from is a minor. Most kids going through a tough phase need all the help they can get to reach the other side of it. However, it can get to a point where it is does not feel feasible to deal with them acting out on a regular basis, no matter what anybody else thinks. At a certain point, the wellbeing of those on the receiving end of certain behaviors has to be taken into consideration.
