Fear and Loathing in suburbia...

OP didnt make sense,even to me.I'll clarify and condense. Was invited to the home of a married couple whose daughter is good freidns with Callum and in he same class at school. Iv said hello briefly to this guy for over a year in the playground but never more than general chit chat. Recently when my Dad was down we spoke to him a bit more one day when we turned up early to collect kids from school. He invited me and my dad for a dinner as his hobby is cooking chinese,indian,mexican foods,that kinda thing. Me and my Dad declined as it was our birthdays and we had other plans. FastForward a few weeks and one day i share a laugh with the guy cos our kids come out of school laughing and joking with each other like a wee married couple. I mention im of into town for a hircut for me and the kid,he offers to drive me. Then another time he saw me heading in his direction and gave me a lift to where i was going. So we had shared few conversations,the guy was Scottish too so i could relate to him more than have the fuckin arses iv met so far in Englnd. One day he invites me for dinner again but i was fucked with the cold and didnt make it and next time im in school his wife introduces herself and hands me a chicken curry in some tupperware and she tells me this guy nows i dont like the English currys so he made me a proper Scottish one. So really the picture im painting here is id got friendly with a few parents of one of callums wee girlfriends at school. Seems Legit. No red flags in my head,all the boxes are ticked.Seems a worthwile venture to aquaint myself with some decent pople. The guys a lot older than me but his wifes nearer my age,they got a 6yr old and a 3yr old daughters. Point is,in over a year since my kid started school iv got friendly with one nice bird who invited my kid to a birthday party at a theme park,he loved it apart from the fact he knocked a tooth out on the water slide. But thats it,thats the extent of parents iv got talking to in the playground. Theres a few who smile and i nod but thats it. I walk in those gates precisely as the bell goes and i do the same at pick up time,iv no interest in idle playground small talk.Its not that im ignorant its just that i cant be arsed with all that shit and nothing good every comes of it. Im a fucking ghost to these people.I appear out of nowhere with a kid and iv met people who think i had a wife who died,other people speculating on why iv got scars on my neck and back of head and shit. Im a mysterious dude to these people,its a small community within a large city community.I dont now who is who,good or bad.I figure i should take up an inviite for dinner then invite for sleepover with my kid and there but with me present. Thats not weird.Us Scottish dudes can sit at a table drinking all night talking bout the homeland. Nothing was a red flag to me looking back. The guy seemed to have an almost aggressive tone with his kids and i noticed he can control his wife with one look but even still thats me speculating ....


Fast Forward to Friday and his kids werent in school,they hadnt been in all week but thats none of my business. He rings me up to ask if im still coming round for dinner and a bevvy.I assumed he was cancelled cos his kidis were of school and id stated having a drink at home with my brother who iv just started talking to again after keeping him out my face for past several months. I ask if its cool if my brother can come,he says aye. We head round.Upon reflection this maybe was my first mistake because when i start drining at home then i make a point of not going out AFTER iv already gotten merry.But id already not turned up the last time the guy invited me so i thought fuck it.I couldnt really be arsed and was wasted and tired but we got there. He kept sayin dinner would be ten minutes,the kids were in the room playing mario or some shit on the Wii. I had a drink,remember a blunt being smoked outside then shit gets a little blurry. Theres some sort of shit going on with my brother,not my bro being the aggressor but this guy is growling at my bro saying how he looks like some guy he dont like...Why would you even say that to some one?WTF?


Now id fell asleep and when the dinner came in some funky shit happened. Cos i dont remember eating NOTHING,i remember this cunt slapping me full force,like fucking punches across my face saying "Dinners ready". I hear my bro going "oh oh what the fuck,you coulda just nudged him?" ,he tells my brother to shut the fuck up and sit down.Im just waking up and im not sure what the fucks occuring here cos the tone has just changed. Now at some point a bag of weed and cash has "fell out my pocket" without me knowing .Next thing i now this guys sticking his head right into my face. I offer him some wise counsel and a stern look. He declined the offer,in the ensuing encounter he magically pulled a fuckin knife out a jacket that he was now wearing,for dinner as you do:eusa_eh: . Now i didnt know he struck me with a knife,i felt the pain on my arm but it felt like he had lashed me with something metal. Hes going for it,the birds closing the kids door and iv told my brother to grab my kids nintendo and my shit cos e're leaving. The guy just loses it,i dont know if he seen it as disrepect cos hes old school or what the fuck but jist of it is he hit me with a knife,wa having a dash at me and i literally see his wife do the weirdest thing iv seen a woman do in my life cos he dinked my kid on the head with an empty bottle. I crowned the dude with bottle and gave him a few rapids and a flykick through the shower door things. He had locked us in and was saying we werent going anywhere. Yeah....thats a red flag in my book:eusa_naughty: I left as soon as i was able to and i had rang a taxi to pic me up at bottom of the street and as i go out he tries to run out with knife and between me and my bro some flowerpots got thrown and othr ugly shit. I actually couldnt afford to stand around with my kid so i stood way down the street and my brother stood at the guy door so he couldnt run out with a knife in front of my kid. A cop car drives in,stops and asks me if im the guy who called them,ask if im ok,ask my name and adress and then they could see shit was still kicking of up the street so they raced on ahead with lights on. Meanwhile im home and wishing id never left the fucking house.


I posted this thread asking what i should do regarding. Should i let the guy man up and aplogise or hear what hes got to say on the monday at school.Or should i protect myself by informing the school of an incident so they can monitor it. I got some good advice on the thread and followed it. Had a nice wee cup of tea and quick chat with headmistress and she thaned me for my honesty and my parental concern. The guy didnt turn up for school with his kid. He had managed to facebook me ,or his wife had and he was saying how the cops kept quizzing him and phoning him wanting to know assaulted him cos he go some stitches but it sounds worse than it was,i saw him today and he looked fine.Bruised jaw maybe.Anyways the OP/Threa was written in a panic...served its purpose.Iv had o edit this original post as its was jaibait and i was talking too freely about summit that coulda bit me in the ass. I saw th guy today,he was all regrets and cursing the vodka:icon_rolleyes: Full of handshakes and lets put it behind us followed by an invite round over the festive season.Think i'll pass:eusa_eh: . He semed VERY concerned and looked very shifty when i told him i saw his wife din my kids head with a bottle.I told him that and the fact he locked us in and armemd himself with a knife in my books means he wa fair game .He just shook his head saying how he didnt know what he was thining and howhe just wants to draw a line under it and wants the kids to still be friends.He semmed kinda shook up,all sahky and stuttery when he was talking to me. I said for my part i was sorry it had to come to that but that i cant have people threatning me with words nevermind weapons in front of my son.Furthermore i told him he shouldnt be doing that shit in front of his girls cos they looked terrified and by something i picked up on from one of them i gather this isnt the first tme they have seen their Dad pull knifes on people. This guy new my backstory so he really shoulda known not to even hint at endangering me or mine. Im a plcid laid back fuckin guy.I seriously am. But the minute my personal space is invaded in an agressive manner then im all over that shit.Best defence is offense.He hit me with a nife and his feeble aplogy today included the priceless "I made sure i used the blunt side of the nife though"....... Oh did ye aye?Och well then your not that bad afterall


There were no red flags with this guy in my mind,not ones that would make me think he could be aggrresive with me or in front of my kid.He seems a kosher guy. Its the drink.I see so many Scottish folks that are salt of the earth folks but then they hit that drink and turn into poison. He falls into that category. Anyways main thing is theres no drama,i shook the guys hand and said draw a line under it.Iv no time for grudges or feuds and he agreed and told me the reason he came here from scotland was to get away from that kind of mentality. I wont be going near his fucin house ever again. Lesson learned. He made out he done me a favour not telling cops id assaulted him but i was quick to point out that he had more to lose cos he instigated the attack with a knife while i was imprisoned. Throw in a minor kid assault and questionable missing money from my "pocket" and he wouldla been the one facing jail not me, My sadness iis..... that i keep on ending up in these fuckin shifty situations.It amazes me that i can avoid socialising for the best part of a year or so but when i do venture out this kinda shit happens. Anyways,had to edit out someof the shit i wrote in the OP so sorry for any discontinuity but thans for the advice anyways guys.Iv covered all my corners and moving swiftly onfftheair:

 

Yeah but hes a hot head. What if he comes at me.Also what if he tells the school shit . Should i inform the school?>Cos paula and callum are in same class. I see this guy twice a day,im the only fucker who talks to him. His neighbours rang me today,they are likeminded folks like me,they say they hate living nnext to him cos he beat his wife and a few other nasty stores i hear out how he treats his kids. Im the inda guy that weighs up and pros and cons but a bottle over my son head as he innconently plays his N3DS.... thats a liberty. If i dont get my hands dirty then someone will be. Talk about bullkill,my first night out for ages. Fuckin didnt even get to play poker,i was in and out the house in 13 minutes. Pissed off!:sad4:

 

You call your attorney asap, or one out of the phone book for chrissakes, and explain it to them along with your personal history. Then you follow their advice to the letter. Until then, you stay the fuck away from this cat. That means phone and FB too.

 

Dude, really? Recipe for everlasting trouble right there.

 

Im hoping your 2nd thought is....Wait a 38yr old mother of two under 5 kids is bottling Aps kid with an empty bottle in an aggressive manner in response to me making my opinion clear to her spoling for a fight husband,She wsnt much better. The other poker dudes left due to their natue and i turned up and callum cant even play with wee paula cos shes cowering in her bedsheets.... Is there a man on here who in heat of moment,drink smoke granted,but a social night where kids welcome turned onto something horrendous,knifes actually hit of my body.....AND I ReSTRAINED MYSELF.... LIKE A MOTHRFUCKER....I coulda went loco,a lesser man would haveMy only inerest was leaving the scene not prolonging my stay. I COULD FEEL THE MAN ON FIRE TEMPERATURE RISING THOUGH....THE 'CREASYBEAR' WAS OOZZZING OUT ME MAN:new_blackey:

assit: CC ima follow that advice to the letter man.Just walk on by.Hes' said his apology,i'll nod when i see him but hes nothing more than a bad memory to me.Iv got that kind of ruthles mentlaity when i need to self preserve


EDITED: Making jailbait threats

 

This is my course of action.......


......aswell as recording everything on my sony xpperiaSP cos theres one way in the playground and one way out then we follow each other 50 yards. Iv no worry for my safety, The guys just to unprediatble. Theres a lot of Scots down here,they're all running away from something. Gottta keep yer eye firmly on them:5magnify: Aye i'll mention it in a private one o one metting i have wth an education psychologist this week. She helped callum progres up a full year. Hes doing great at school. This shit just annoys me cos i mak the efoort to get to know people for hi sake and mine and they turn out to be arseholes....well not the girls,i feel sorry for them.Bedbound.Peace out:jj:

 

Jus' saying....if you knew Ap awhile longer you'd understand the history. asssit:


Ap....amigo...your brain is a powerful tool also. Use it. Apology? Fuck apology. What's that 'cept giving another chance for contact?


You got four choices from where I sits. Beat his ass and hope it all goes away. Keep your head down and hope it all goes away. Get an attorney so you have documentation in case it all fucks up and hope it all goes away. Call the school or the cops (one in the same) without an attorney and make sure it never goes away. Or, keep engaging the situation ensuring it never goes away and gets more difficult to manage. (which isn't a choice at all)


feelin' for ya brotha,
