Glad she's safe now :)

Well done Rosie. Very well done.

WorraLiberty · 20/09/2013 11:20

I'm surprised you're even asking

Hope she's ok

tallwivglasses · 20/09/2013 11:20

Rosie, so glad you didn't ignore, like so many people would. You may have saved her life. It's great that mumsnet can arm us with all the information (and wisdom) she'll need, which I'm sure you're imparting right now!

mrsjay · 20/09/2013 11:20

yes you did the right thing you did a great thing infact I hope you are ok hearing that is horrible,

peachmint · 20/09/2013 11:20

Well done for helping her - you did the right thing.

mrsjay · 20/09/2013 11:21

oh well done I hope she is ok,

piratecat · 20/09/2013 11:24

you did right. i did this once and it worked out ok, in that the man was made to leave and the lady ended up making a new life. It was a bit scary 'getting involved' as i was scared of comeback from him.

Yet he was beating her and i had to do it. i hope you are ok, and that she is too.x

DameDeepRedBetty · 20/09/2013 11:24

rosie you are an official star! Hope you've been able to help her take steps in moving forward from this.

TheOrchardKeeper · 20/09/2013 11:26

If someone like you had rung when it was my DM going through this 20 odd years ago then she'd have had the jolt she needed to leave. Well done.

spokeswoman · 20/09/2013 11:30

Well done,hope she is ok.
I wish someone had phoned the police when my ex was beeting me up.

mrsjay · 20/09/2013 11:31

and mine theOrchardKeeper how neighbours didn't here is beyond me I guess folk turned a blind eye back then,

EhricLovesTeamQhuay · 20/09/2013 11:31

Well done
You should never leave well alone.

mrsjay · 20/09/2013 11:31

hear*

ToffeeWhirl · 20/09/2013 11:32

Well done, rosie. Absolutely the right thing to do.

FreudiansSlipper · 20/09/2013 11:36

yes you absolutely did do the right thing

sadly it may not stop her going back to him but it might help her make the steps to move on lets hope

Lweji · 20/09/2013 11:44

You are great.

Poor girl. :(

I hope she manages to get rid of him.

Have the police taken him away, or is he still there?

rosiedays · 20/09/2013 11:48

Thanks lovely ladies.
I new it was the right thing to do. It has at least stopped him hurting her more today. She is bumped and bruised and horribly accepting of the situation.

Can you make sure she knows about Women's Aid?

tallwivglasses · 20/09/2013 12:00

Oh god, do you think she'll go back to him? :(

QuintessentialShadows · 20/09/2013 12:01

well done you. Smile

elcranko · 20/09/2013 12:03

Excellent point Agatha.

You did the right thing.

Sometimes I call the police. Sometimes the other neighbours call the police (Ongoing situation)

Charlottehere · 20/09/2013 12:07
