I'm only posting about this on here because it doesn't feel right to 'gossip' about it in real life. We (3DC and DH and I) were in the car today on our way to some fresh air and a walk. We pulled off the duel carriageway into a garage to get some fuel. On the verge by the slipway was a young woman on the phone and a bloke stood with her. I remarked upon it to DH to the effect that I thought something was up, he did not. He filled up and went to pay and then came back looking worried. Lass was intent on throwing herself into traffic. Police had been called and were on way. She made several attempts and bloke was blocking her. DH went to help and then me and a few others all stood along the side of the main rd across the slipway (employee had put cones across by now) blocking her path to the road. It was fucking scary shit, she was so distressed.
The kids were in the car by one of the pumps and were watching out the window (I told them not to!) and I know it sounds odd but I was most worried about what they might see. Anyhoo the police turned up and surrounded her then we returned to the car and left. I can't stop thinking about it, I really hope she has got some help and not just been sent home with a promise that the Crisis team will be in touch. Not sure what I want people to say about it, just felt the need to get it off my chest. Not what I was expecting when we got up this morning.
