Dealing with psychopath nutjobs

[thesummerqueen]

I actually think it's rude to get in the way of a domestic dispute, if you think there's going to be violence then call the police. I still remember when I was young, a young woman who was a neighbour came round to our house crying and asked us if she could use our telephone. So she used it and kept calling, and crying, she must have been there for like 2 hours. And then after she left, I asked my mum what the hell all that was about. She told me that the woman thinks that her husband is cheating on her and blocking her calls. Note to everyone: If you think your partner is cheating on you, don't go crying to your neighbour it!! They don't want to know.

Speaking as an abuse victim, there's a difference between a whiny bitch, and a family dealing with a strung-out abusive husband/father. A huge difference.

Would that someone had heard and stepped in when I was a kid. Maybe my dad would have gotten the help he needed a lot sooner.
