I am not violent either, but don't mess with my kids... I just know that if it was me in your shoes, I would be responding for a lot... and that 20 yr would be in the hospital and later in jail...
Now... How old are your children? She is of legal age, you could beat the crap out of her and claim self defense, or let your sons have a go with those nice baseball bats...
I lose all kinds of sanity when it comes to my kids, I get borderline demented...
Believe me... if you don't press charges and follow through, she'll think she can get away with it... and she'll try again next time. But if she does, make sure your girl and your boy know how to defend themselves, and if the shit hits the fan in your own backyard, you can also charge her with trespassing...
I really hope your back is ok, and that your kids are well. Know your boundaries, within the law, know how far you can go... but don't let her get away with this.
Hope all turns out well
