(135,425 posts)I can understand what you're feeling. I lived across the street for awhile from an asshole who would routinely get drunk at the weekend and beat the shit out of his wife. It got to the point where I'd call 911 and say "They're at it again" and hold up the phone so the dispatcher could hear the shrieks, screams and yelling.
The guy would always duck out the back and go into the woods when the cops arrived, and stay away until they left. This went on forever, until I told them they needed to stop coming to the street with the frigging blue lights rotating because it gave him time to get away.
He was an obnoxious asshole, that neighbor. I too was not the only one who would call on him--glad I'm outta there!
Again, pat yourself on the back--good on you. You did the right thing.
