Domestic Abuse Increase UK
Domestic Abuse Increase UK
In other news, according to a UK charity, they have seen a 25% increase in calls for help regarding domestic abuse or domestic violence since the call to stay at home and stay safe.

Not that I am mocking this in any way, but having seen my elderly parents go at each other in the last two weeks, (especially in the last 3 or 4 days), I can see why calls might have increased. They are both becoming cantankerous, short-tempered and have little patience for anything right now, and they seem to push each other's buttons, whether wilfully or accidentally, and I have to step in to play peacemaker. I never thought I'd ever see the day where I had to put my own parents in time-out to calm things down. My, how the tables have turned.

Slightly off topic; I've noticed that posters that are in lockdown are becoming more short-tempered on the forum also. I am grateful to be in Cambodia.

Your wrong , your f$#@* wrong again . What makes you think like that you f^%#@ as*&%$ Just because I have told the house sitting lady in my house to move out because she is so bloody untidy does not mean I am short tempered from being in lockdown. Besides I am now living in the Lucky Country where everyone wants to live.Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2020 5:24 am Slightly off topic; I've noticed that posters that are in lockdown are becoming more short-tempered on the forum also.

Spoiler:
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.

Pots and pans can be just as deadly.

Re: Domestic Abuse Increase UK
I've noticed that but it's even more hilarious over on ThaiVisa. I only read the relevant to me Pattaya forum and it seems like every second post on every thread is a Mod message " Series of bickering posts deleted" etc etc. Even the most inoffensive posts seem to spark attacks, a lot of angry and frustrated people out there.Anchor Moy wrote: ↑Tue Apr 07, 2020 5:24 am Slightly off topic; I've noticed that posters that are in lockdown are becoming more short-tempered on the forum also.
