.......what would you do?
I need as many suggestions as I can get before I react myself.
Thankyou. x

If you wittnessed it, you could report it to the police.

deleted_user 11/03/2007

is this a one time thing?
then talk it out
if its an ongoing thing
tough love - call the cops
and report the abuse

well, it wasn't my mother ... it was my sister, she was 8 months pregnant, and my drunken bro-in-law slammed her tummy first into the kitchen counter ... I called the police and his ass was tossed in jail where it belonged

i gotta a agree with both of them

How bad did he hit her? Is she hurt? If she is .. go to a safe place outside your home and call the cops.

deleted_user 11/03/2007

not the first time, and no didnt witness more than the red mark

deleted_user 11/03/2007

then follow your gut feeling and call the cops
document document document
anything that happens from here on out.
take pictures
will your mother press charges?
or will she drop them due to her state of mind?

deleted_user 11/03/2007

im sorry, but i cant do this. i thought i could but you all sound far less crazy than me

deleted_user 11/03/2007

im not sure I follow your train of thought with your newest reply?
what does crazy have to do with this?

deleted_user 11/03/2007

In the end only your mother can do anything about it.

deleted_user 11/03/2007

im too crazy to see any of your logical responses possible

deleted_user 11/03/2007

If your father hits your mother, it is a crime...it's assault. If it's an ongoing thing then she really may need your help...

deleted_user 11/03/2007

By crazy you mean your angry and worked up and want to punch his lights out for being an out and out prick? Yeah thats ok... but dont do it. Hes the bad guy here dont let yourself follow his example. The responces here are what you need to do after you've calmed down a little. Most impotrant of all is that you take care of your mum!

deleted_user 11/03/2007

he said he just pushed her out the way
i didnt see it. why do u all believe he could when i cant?

deleted_user 11/03/2007

That's domestic abuse and is a crime. If you physically witness it then you can lay a complaint to the police....but if you haven't then only your mother can do it I'm afraid unless you want to get real sly and put a camera somewhere to record it but that has plenty of risks involved with doing it

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
