My neighbours fight a lot. Every night since they got back from wherever they were, in fact. Tonight we called the cops because I got woken up from a dead sleep by thumping and the woman screaming. Fuck this.

The thumping and the screaming were why it was 911 instead of by-law :(

I get that couples fight. I even accept that they do it often. We've gotten used to turning up the TV in the evenings to mask the sound of the yelling. Screaming and thumping is a different category, and I'm way intolerant of anything loud enough to wake me AND Josh* in the middle of the night. He normally sleeps through everything.

Yuck.

And, yes, screaming and thumping is bad.

I hope there's a better ending for this all - if only that you have a more peaceful home.

Christ! Good on you for calling the cops... That sorta shit has got to stop, yo!

Sounds eerily familiar... I'm glad you called the cops. Violence happens in the home more than anywhere else. Especially violence against women.
