Moving

I had to call the cops on my neighbors last night. I don't usually want to have to do that, but it was 2 am when I was awaken by yelling, banging, and crying. The people above us were fighting and it wasn't pretty. After 30 minutes I couldn't take it anymore so I called to report a possible domestic abuse. He was screaming, "you are a piece of sh*t, you lie!" She was screaming, about leaving him and get the f*ck out! and Give me my phone back!" On top of that there was stuff being thrown around and two kids crying. I don't know if he was hitting or not, but that is no way to treat someone. I was all tense from just hearing it through the ceiling, I can't imagine what it was like for the poor kids. The cops came rather quickly and then E and I were able to sleep. It wasn't the first time they have yelled, or thrown what must be furniture (it is so loud!). I feel so bad for the kids. I hope she does leave him as he seems unstable.

E and I are moving in August when our lease is up and that is partly why. They are just so loud and rude. We have lived here for 5 years without problems until this year. We signed for a townhouse across town which is a little older than this place but has more space and has a washer and dryer! I can't wait to not need the laundry mat anymore. I am so thankful that E is not violent. It would be so scary to have someone that threatened you like that. By hurting his wife in front of the kids, he's hurting the kids too. Even if it wasn't physical it is still abuse. So sad.

    That IS scary. You did the right thing in calling. It really annoys me when people stay together "for the sake of the kids" but are completely abusive to each other (and their kids) in the meantime. Honestly, kids would rather their house be peaceful.

    Thanks psychgrad! I think it would be best for him to leave as the kids are little, how could they not be afraid?
