Listen for a reasonable amount of time (as long as she isn't yelling or being disrespectful), then validate and end the conversation.
Based off my research, I made my house a safe place to express emotions. Humans are emotional beings and there are very few safe places to vent out some emotional energy. The key is to set boundaries around the disrespect and any physical violence.
As long as I don't get sucked into the other persons emotional state, I can calmly let anyone vent their frustrations to me, even if the trigger is something I did.
I believe my relationships are better because of this. The other person feels heard and understood and feels better after getting some emotional release.
