It's not the first time we've had to ask, but this time it ended up with me getting shoved against the guy's car, threatened with "getting my head knocked off", with their two massive Rottweilers behind him, while his wife drunkenly / slurringly screamed at my wife over the fence to "stop using our autistic daughter as an excuse". Managed to talk the stupid **** down but I'm still ****ing raging, would love to see him try something like that without the ****ing dogs, but he wouldn't of course. Ehhhhhh.
Wife now wants to get the police involved but I just cannot be arsed. I'm not intimidated by them. Just smart enough not to knock a guy's teeth in on his own property with two large dogs watching.

What do you do in that situation though Kizzy? Sit in the bedroom, unable to sleep because of the music, hugging your knees and hoping it'll stop? And then spend the next week dealing with a stressed / distressed / exhausted 3 year old and potentially months trying to sort the damage done by the inevitable communication regression? Sort of caught between a rock and a hard place. A much harder place, actually.
Meh. I just hate feeling powerless I think. 5 years ago I'd have put him through the damn car even if it meant getting mauled. I sort of hate having "responsibilities" :joker:.

..I think what you have to think though TS is what if you weren't there for the next weeks and months for her because you and your wife are both key in bringing her back from her 'regression' if that were to happen..?...that's what's most important to her, that she has you two/both of you..that's her 'stability', which with her diagnosis and without that she really would feel lost wouldn't she..?..I'm not surprised it made you angry but with your daughter, there sadly will always be things that will 'rock her' and you can't always protect her from that because you don't have that control completely over her environment, as in what happened...the main thing is protecting yourself for her..not taking any reckless risks ...
..I also don't think that trying to talk to your neighbours when they've been drinking is the best idea either..:laugh:..they're not really going to be open to what you have to say plus yeah..aggressive...you should try to talk to them the next day...(not too early..)...and if there is no reasoning to be had with them, then speak to the police or the council and maybe look at getting a nuisance order or something..?...for your daughter..?...would she wear anything like ear muffs to sleep do you think, which would help a bit with the noise...
..so yeah, think of her by keeping yourself safe for her....(you looney..)... |
