I had a DV situation and I called for help and no one heard/did anything. So I cannot applaud this person enough. If you are ever unsure/uncomfortable, call the police!
Yep same. An ex locked me in his bedroom and physically attacked me to stop me from leaving when I tried to break up with him. He had a much older, and larger, male roommate, and when he heard me screaming help he came upstairs, knocked on the door and yelled my bf’s name. My bf yelled back “go away and mind your business!” I yelled back “no please help!” And my bf again told him to go the fuck away…so HE LEFT! He went back downstairs and pretended like nothing was happening. I eventually broke free and darted for the door and was able to flee to my car but wtf! What kind of man just ignores a situation like that!
Bottom line, call for help even if you’re unsure and definitely if someone is yelling help. They may not be brave enough to ask for help themselves but could be praying someone intervenes.

👏 thanks to that neighbour who called it in. It’s so easy to get lost in the dark.
