My husband cannot stand my neighbor's daughter. The kids were painting outside and decided to paint their hands and face....and then my daughter went to go into the house to clean up. My husband is very OCD and was getting very frustrated at the whole paint situation, especially when it came time to allow our daughter in the house to clean up.

He did not want the neighbor's kid to come into our house. She was trying to push her way in....covered with paint on her hands, arms and face.

My husband says, he was blocking her from coming in, telling her repeatedly NO....and she wasn't listening. She then hit her face on our doorknob while trying to push her way in, moved backwards because she was startled and hurt herself....and then she went home - and my husband closed the door.

The child's dad said he saw the whole thing from his window and DH pushed his daughter out of the house yelling "GET OUT" and then she continued to push her way in and that's when my husband was closing the door and thus she hurt her face on the doorknob.

It got quite ugly. The dad ran across the street and started banging our door as hard as he could. He is a big, mean, unstable man who has an alcohol addiction, is very explosive and has other issues as well. My husband refused to open the door but talked to him through the window. He told my husband to never lay a hand on his daughter again or he will get arrested.

This all happened while my neighbor and I were at a store. When we came back, I got my husband's side of the story....and then walked over to my neighbor's house to try to smooth things over.

Both men are ADAMANT about their stories - and they are each calling the other a liar.....My husband called over there to talk to the dad, and it ended up becoming a screaming fest.....NOT good.

The dad was this.close to calling the cops and pressing charges on my husband for assault on a minor....and said that the only reason he didn't was for me and my daughter. He did not want to hurt us. He told me to tell my husband that he is NEVER to talk to his daughter again, or ever call there, step foot on their property, etc. EVER again or he is getting a restraining order against him.

Meantime, my husband is mouthing off at me, insulting the neighbor every which way he can...and standing by his story....He is also building allies in the neighborhood by talking to them about the situation (especially since there were a dozen people - mostly children - outside the dad was banging on our door screaming profanities.

My husband was pressing me to find out whether or not I "backed him up" when I was talking to them.....I told him that I told them his side of the story.....I was not going to call them a liar when I wasn't there! This is causing some problems here, because he's getting support from his "girlfriend" (another neighbor that he's all nicey-nicey to) but not from me.

Today was a day of trying to patch up the relationship with the kids....

I am just too exhausted right now. Last night, when this was all going on, my neighbor's husband (the dad's stepdad) - a medic - took my blood pressure - and it was 180/102...
