I have been anxious since last night. We have these neighbors that are a thorn in our side. It is an adult male that lives with his elderly mother (who is showing signs of dementia). We have always tried to stay on their good side because past roomies have had fights with them and we don't need the drama. The son is a REALLY angry (like: I am afraid if I piss him off he might hurt me or my cats or my family) person. Well, I have heard him yelling at this mom more and more over the past couple of weeks (he yells about everything, though, and bangs on stuff in his yard, etc.) A few day ago I heard him screaming at his mother "Eat your fucking breakfast and shut up before I kill us both." That highly disturbed me but I am terrified of him and didn't know what to do.

Last night somebody rings our doorbell around 10:20pm, which surprised us, that is late! It was psycho dude's mom. She came to us for help because yesterday he seemed to be really going off the deep end and she said he threatened to kill her and the physically manhandled her towards the door and then when she did try to leave he tried to restrain her, so she left and came to us. We called the cops for her and she decided (for once) to press charges against him and so he is now in jail. The cop told her to go to Victim's Services this morning and file a restraining order, so we took her down there and I helped her do everything and sat in the courtroom as the judge talked to her about the restraining order. Thing is..I don't think she is entirely aware of what is going on. She couldn't remember her son's date of birth and her phone # and all sorts of other things (which isn't her fault, I realize) but we don't know that info either. So, yea..the judge granted an immediate restraining order (being served to him in jail today) and he has to move out of the house and have no contact with her or a year and stay 200 feet away from her residence (which means he wouldn't be able to be in front of our house either, thank god)>>But I am so nervous because I just know he knows we helped her and I don't ever want to deal with him again. Since I am not related I was unable to get my own restraining order (or even a stalking order because he hasn't directly threatened me) but I feel like I need protection from him for the future because he surely thinks we ruined his life but helping his mom get his abusive ass out of that house. Larry finally got the phone# for one of his other kids and we can call her and let her know exactly what happened and she can take over. I don't mind at all being a Good Samaritan but I don't want to be responsible for her health and safety. I hope her family steps up the plate and I hope her jackass son has to stay in jail for awhile (my nightmare is having to see him in a day or two). He has to be escorted by a Sheriff to come and retrieve his dogs and belongings, so at least there is that. I HOPE this is the end of all of the drama. My stomach hurts so much!
