MIL – My Mother in Law
I may be in trouble with my MIL. While over at her house on Christmas the people in the house across the street started fighting. I don’t know what the cause was. It came to my attention when I heard a loud bang. When I looked out the window I could see the man that lives over there cursing at someone in a truck and trying to get at them. There was a woman between the truck and him trying to keep him at bay. I later learned that she was his GF and the owner of the house. He started throwing stuff at the truck and banging on it. Out climbed four kids and the GF grabbed a stroller that was near and pulled the baby out. The 4 older kids and the mom with the stroller headed away from the house and down the road. In the meantime another woman that was in the truck climbed out and the DG reached into the truck and snatched a car seat out and threw it. It turns out the other woman was the sister of the first woman. Initially she started to head down the road but then turned around and came back. All the while the DG was screaming and cursing at the top of his lungs. Second woman was on her cell phone the whole time and reversed direction and returned to the house. Initially she tried to get back into the truck when DG started banging on the hood of the truck again. She then went into the house. DG followed her in. I was watching intently and my MIL was going on about how this happens all the time and everyone just ignores it. That they fight like that and then the next day the DG and his GF will be outside hanging all over each other kissing, etc. I informed my MIL that if I saw him put a hand on her I was going to call the police. My MIL told me no and to mind my own business. She has to live across the street from them and she didn’t want any retribution from them if the police were called. Despite that I continued to watch. I did see him grab her arm at one point to attempt to get her out of the house but he quickly let go. It mostly was them screaming at each other and cursing. It was nearing the time for all of us to leave because we were due at another family members house so we went outside to load the presents in the car. My husband and I were standing there when three police cars pulled up. Apparently that was who the woman was on the phone with. One of the officers saw my husband and I standing there and came over and asked what if anything we had seen. I went ahead and told them everything. Upon request I gave them my name and phone number in case they needed to contact me. The officer told me that both of them were drunk and if he could they both would be going to jail that day. I thanked him and wished him a merry Christmas and then we left. My MIL when she saw me talking to the deputy had this look like she didn’t approve.
What would you have done? Lie and say you saw nothing or tell the truth and risk family wrath.

) up every night. Problem was, that the cops were called...but as long as Diane didn't press charges, nothing changed. Chuck would get put in the back of a squad car, dumped in the drunk tank, and would be home the next day. Lather, rinse, repeat.
