This morning as the kids and I were going out to the car for the school run we saw our neighbour being yelled at by her very agressive partner outside their house. She was just sitting on the doorstep taking the verbal onslaught.
I got the kids into the car and called the local police who said they would send a car out. (I think the man could see me on the phone but I couldn't just leave things) I don't know what happened after that, but by the time I got home again the man's car had the rear window smashed and there were bits of broken golf club and other debris on the road.
Later this afternoon the kids and I were out walking, as we returned the man went inside his house, slammed the front door behind him then there was this almight scream from inside. We went into our house and I called the police again.
I'm feeling very shaken and worried, I've been trying to reassure my kids that everything is fine and things have calmed down now but I'm worried that this guy will figure out I called the cops and come and find me.
Deep down I know he's probably too coward to do that but I am feeling so upset that this is going on just a few doors away.
The poor woman. She must be terrified. It reminds me of when I was small and my parents used to fight, I still feel very uneasy around men who are behaving in an agressive manner.
Just needed to write this down I suppose.
