Neighbors D.V. we got stuck in the middle!!!! MT

*Trigger warning *
what a crazy week ! at the beginning of the week was taking the
daughter to school, when we noticed a neighbors car on the side of
the road , and seen their little girl walking away trying to make it
to school on time, we picked her up and delivered her to school ,then
I went back and let the parents know , they said they had ran out of
gas and didn't have the money to put gas in it so, we got a gas jug
filled it up and picked up the wife and took her to her car then this
week they have borrowed a little money and I have taken their child
home from school and to school, that really didn't bother us but then
the husband came over today he was very upset and asked if the baby
and the little girl could stay for a little while because the mother
would be leaving , wanting to keep the children safe we agreed then,
he came back and asked for a ride to go cash a check we gave him a
ride then dropped him back at his house and took the children back to
our house . At that point it was 5 hour's into their fighting and
they didn't give me enough supplies to care for the baby , then the
woman came to my house and she was obviously being beat up, at that
point we asked her, she said no ,I am a danger more to him but that's
what silver used to say too and we knew she was lying because the
blood on her head and ear . we called a crisis center for the
children and her and then the man came to our house and they were
arguing and triggering all those uncomfortable feelings, we had to
think of Lori's daughter that stood their frightened too so we told
him to leave so he did but continued to return every few minutes
walking into the house . We think their on drugs or
something,finally joe lori's husband came home and stayed with the
children for a few minutes but needed to head back to work for the
evening , we left with the daughter trying to avoid further contact
the husband managed to get the people out of the house because he knew
by looking at us that we were not feeling emotionally stable .
Now there was always bad vibes about the neighbor
but he said something to me that I dont dare repeat just need to in
case something happens
I returned back to the house with the daughter and locked the door we
feel afraid ... we was too scared to call the police ..we just
shouldn't be so nice to people and often avoid people unless clearly
their is a need to help ,now we feel threatened and a bit
regretful .His words are so triggering quote " I will rape her and
then kill her ! " we still can't call the police . sorry to bother
you all with this long dramatic post but we feel stuck .... allofus

Lauren, I don't know what to say to help, but want to send you hugs.

((((((hugs))))))

Is there anyone you could go stay with until you can feel safe again, or until Joe is home? Can you call your therapist, to at least have someone to talk to?

Like I said, I'm not really sure how to help, but I hope you stay safe, and get through this.

*hugs*

Lauren,

Why are you scared to call the police? This guy sounds dangerous. If you wait until the incident is over or a few days later, then there isn't much that the police can do, but if you call while it is going on they can do something about it.

You're a good person to care like you do, and to help with the kids. Having an adult they can go to and consider a friend is the best thing that can happen for kids in situations like this (other than for the abuse to stop). It's too bad that there are people like this and also that you have been drawn into it.
