About 4:00 this morning, I heard someone calling for help. I opened my door and asked if anyone needed help and a young woman replied "yes." I asked if she wanted me to call 911 and she said "yes" so I did. A little later, she knocked on my door and said the police never came, so I called again. A classic case of abuse, he beat her, took her phone all their money and left in her car. She didn't know anyone's phone number, except the shop her sister owns, so we had to wait for it to open. Meanwhile the police finally arrived and talked to her (she kept going back and forth from her apartment across the way to mine), but she said they weren't very interested. Finally got in touch with her mother, and she (as well as me) encouraged her to go home (she's 43, told me she drinks and I think does drugs). I told her she needs to report her car as stolen (she has the title) but I doubt that she will. I told her I'd take her to the bus station, sent her back to get some sleep and I got some too. I used to work for a Crisis Hotline, this is an old, familiar story. It doesn't usually end well, unfortunately. Perhaps this time it will.

You are a good person! I am with Mountainman and would not have opened my door but then again you have worked with crisis hotline and would have better intuition then I would with these matters. I hope this was a low for her and she does get help.

I can only hope that if I'm ever in need, someone will open their door for me. 💚💛💜

there is still so much to be done to end violence against women. the sad reality is that she might even get back with him. very hard to undo these abuse cycles. very hard. good on you for helping her. thanka for sharing the story

@Cheesegobbler…sorry you went through that. My oldest daughter went through it. He ended up w a felony charge, he was evil. Glad you left that toxic situation. You deserve better! My daughter has now been in a healthy relationship for 3 years, but getting abused changed her.

Took my abused neighbor to a walk-in clinic this evening to have her injuries attended to. Fortunately, while painful, nothing is broken. We were concerned about her going home, because the SOB took her keys, so, while she can use a deadbolt to lock herself in, she can't lock the door when she leaves and he could be waiting inside. Fortunately, another neighbor we both know was standing outside when we drove up and was willing to go inside with her to be sure her attacker was not there.
