Trouble with Neighbors
A couple of days ago, my neighbors’ kids asked me to come over really quick. They said their mother was going down cellar with a rope to kill herself. I went over there right away and went down there to see what was happening. It took a few minutes for her to open the door, and when I finally saw in there, a noose was laying on the floor. I pretended that I had only stopped by to see how she was doing. She assured me everything was fine so I went back to my housework. Over the course of the day, her kids came over 4 more times to say she threatened to jump off a building, drown herself and slash her wrists. She had been hurt earlier in the week and gotten pain killers from the emergency room. So she had access to pills too. I asked the kids if her boyfriend around, and they said yes, but he wouldn’t answer them. I guess he had seen this ploy for attention before. I had found out earlier that she had gone off anti-psychotic and anti-depressant medicine just a week ago, without any knowledge of her doctors.
My daughter was outside with her freinds when the mom came out of the house and started wandering around the field behind us. I looked out the window to see. Her kids were outside talking to my girl and then all hell broke loose.
My daughter said that she had something in her hand, which she did. Her son said it is a knife and ran in the house to get the boyfriend. While the boyfriend was outside trying to talk her inside, her kids came back to my house, crying and screaming for me to call the police. They wanted thier mother to go to the hospital. These kids are barely in thier teens and were desperate. They told me the boyfriend said to call. I asked again, Are you sure he said that? And then, are you sure he said to do it? They both said yes, and then the daughter said ,well maybe she will get mad. The girl should be mad at her mother for putting her in this bad situation.
The boyfriend got her inside, and then she came banging on my door. I answered it only to have her verbally assault myself and my daughter, screaming like a banshee. She make my daughter burst into tears by the rotten mean things she said. Her kids stood there and LIED and told her it was all my daughter’s fault. There were witnesses to what happened, but they didn’t care if they got caught lying, they wanted her to stop screaming at them. She then slammed my 100 year old glass storm door amd went home. I had a talk with my daughter after calming her down, that she cannot ever trust them again because they lied about her to save their own skin. She will not be playing with them. They are not worthy of her.
Right after that the cops showed up. They went to her door, talked outside for a minute tops, questioned the boyfriend and the kids right in front of her for all of a minute, and left. I could hear her lying to the cops saying I was nuts and she was just fine. Good actress, too bad she’s not on stage. You would think in the acadamy they would teach cops to interview other witnesses, especially children, properly.They dropped the ball so bad, it was sad. They were completely useless. This was the Burrillville Rhode Island Police Department. I would have been better off calling a clown wagon. Come to think of it -I did.
She was on a rampage now! She accossted my boyfriend when he came home from work on my back porch and threatened me and my kids. He just said hi to her and was screamed at. She took the gifts that we had bought for herself and the kids and put them in a bag at my backdoor. They deposited the cookies I had brought over there too. She spent the rest of the night harrassing her family. She broke all the kids’ big presents right in front of them, because she was angry. I will never speak to her again, and I’m actively looking for another place to live. I can’t subject my kids to this craziness. I don’t want to live like that. I’ve been here 7 years and They were here 6 months and I’ve seen and heard enough. Let my landlord deal with it. You would think with past domestic assault charges, multiple trips to the loony bin, child services coming weekly to see her daughter, that someone would DO something. And people wonder when they see horrible crimes on TV, why doesn’t someone help? I know why. The people who try to help get blamed and harrassed or worse, dismissed. She should have had those kids taken away a long time ago. They have had to endure untold scenes. The reason why the boyfriend didn’t act? He had seen this act many times. He wants out of there so bad. If she wanted attention, there’s much better ways to do it.
I’m out- if she wants to off herself, so be it. I tried to help, and paid the price. The last thing I wanted to deal with was two panicked kids and a crazy neighbor . I was only dealing with getting my boiler fixed, getting my car towed, an oncoming blizzard and making cookies for the holiday. Happy New Years? Hardly! Too bad I don’t drink, I could have used a couple last night. New Years is amateur night,after all.
