quote:I think that the difference is how they define harassment. There is a t level of connection within a family that allows for more leeway for some behaviors that it does for non-family members. I know my family can say things to me that would be incredibly rude if a non-family member said it, but I am less offended when my family says it.
I understand that. That's why I pointed out I was referring not to the connotation of the word 'harasment', but its actual definition.

I know....I just wanted to rephrase it.
Also, it proves that someone WAS listening to you.
There area lot of behaviors that could constitute harassment, but don't always. Sexual harassment cases are full of examples.....the same behavior from two different people can be viewed so differently, and that is only one example. That is part of why those cases are always so touchy, and at times hard to prosecute.
