Feel so sorry for the woman next door :( (D. Violence)

For the past few weeks we've been hearing banging, shouting and screaming from next door. Its the woman screaming, the man shouting.

Anyway the past week or so its been really bad and having listened to it I could make out that he was chasing her around the house, she was screaming at him to leave her alone, the toddler was screaming....

Then I was thankfull to see her parents arrive...but shocked to hear then back up the bloke and have a go at the woman as well!

From what I can make out the woman is suffering from an eating disorder and refusing to eat anything. The man then goes mental and starts trying to force feed her, the parents come in shouting that she's doing it for attention and there's always some drama going on with her, the 3 of them then start threatning to take the baby away from her unless she "packs it in"...all the while this poor woman is obviously suffering.

Yesterday there was so much shouting going on, crying and screaming....I heard her shout "you used to beat me up all the time so you can't make me do anything now, I'm too used to it, it doesn't bother me anymore" and that caused him to really lose his rag and he threw her out into the garden (the toddler was watching all this), afterwards he chased her upstairs, she was screaming and then it sounded like she was choking on something (either he had shoved food down her throat or he was choking her himself). She had a black eye the other day. Thankfully the neighbour at the other side to them banged on the door to see if she was ok and I heard bloke threaten her and tell her "look what you've done now" and she said "just tell them to go away, I'll do it, I'll tell them I'm ok". The neighbour was invited in, she denied anything was wrong, said the screaming was not coming from their house etc....and then believe it or not her parents turned up again and continued the abuse asking her if she wanted to be burried or cremated when she dies throught not eating....saying they're not bothered about her because they know its all for attention, all the time the little toddler is listening to it all

I'd ring the police over SS any day - 999 when you hear it. Each and every time.

HOWEVER, the police could go round and arrest him and a few hours later, he be out and home again - unless SHE rings WA and leaves, not much can be done really.

That's the worst thing about abuse looking from the outside. Until the abused wants to change it, it won't happen.
