Had to call the police on our lovely neighbours this morning, They have a volatile relationship with him always moving out and the moving back in and are always arguing. They both smoke pot openly in front of their kids and I know that he uses harder recreational drugs frequently. Their arguments are very aggressive at the best of times although today he had gone too far. They have two kids 7 & 3 who my two year old plays with all the time. This today happened in front of their kids, From what I can gather she was leaving him and was getting the two kids together to leave. She had hidden the car keys as she was about to be leaving and he wanted them so that they couldn't go. He was throwing stuff round the house and on several times you could hear her crying when something had hit her. I was trying to have a shave when I could hear him throw her in their bedroom and tell her that if she tried to get up he would be smashing her face in. I could hear the kids in the background also. Mrs FG gets on quite well with her and had asked me to go round. Now I was bought up in a relationship when I was younger where my paternal father physically abused my mum and often have intervened in something in the street where a male partner is physically abusing their partner. I put on my joggers and a t-shirt on ready to go round but could feel myself getting very angry about the situation. I was shaking with adrenaline and thought that if I went round it would be me carted off in a police van not him. Without going into details I can handle myself extremely well and thought of my children before what my actions may have lead to. I called the police and they sent some one round within about 10 minutes. When they arrived he told them in no certain terms to "fuck off". He wasn't arrested but they told him that they would be back in an hour and if he hadn't disappeared for the day that he would be arrested. When we first moved into the property about two years ago I was out one night and the Mrs called the police on them for a similar instance. He was high on drugs at the time and the next day their dining room table was in the garden along with their sofa all smashed up in bits. Regardless of what has happened he is married to this women and should treat her with said respect. AND his children are watching all of this. I pray for them that they are not mentally scared from what they have to put up with. On the other side the lady in question is just as bad for accepting him back into their house. She is putting herself in danger and also her children! My mum was good friends with a lady that was stabbed to death 39 times by her husband who had mental problems that hadn't been diagnosed properly. I have no issues with them knowing that it was me calling the police and next time I see him I will be making it perfectly clear that if there is a next time he will be having a fight with a real man and not his wife. But on the other side my thoughts are why should I bother if she keeps taking him back?
