[on mobile so no flair]

So my neighbors lived in the apartment below me before. She got pregnant with 16, married the next best dude... which imo is a horrible abusive person. The things he‘d yell at a tiny boy for the smallest mistake. The boy is 6 now and articulates himself much too well for his age and his parents still yell at him for small mistakes.

They moved to the neighbor house, now I do hear the yelling and insults less but still sometimes as they do it very loudly and in the open.

The mother was raised in the same house they live now, spent her childhood visiting people and playing with everyone and running around. I am a bunch of years older but played with her a lot and used to be something like a bigger sister.
She doesn‘t allow the same for her son. He is forced to kind of entertain her a lot because she has no meaning in life but being mother and wife to an insane man. If he rather wants to play somewhere else she locks him into the house.

Even she said to her husband that he NEVER says anything nice to the boy. That he only interacts with him when he is annoyed. Which is a lot. Too young to be a father idek why he married her the first fights between them started in the same week as their wedding.

She yells, he yells, little boy cries, is yelled at for crying. („Stop crying or I’ll give you a real reason to cry.“) and I get triggered af but since years I am forced to listen and watch and am unable to do anything because unless they neglect him or his younger sibling or beat them law can‘t do shit. But I know where such treatment can lead...
Oh and the couple got a second child to destroy like it is their hobby and I fucking hope the „father“ will just be run over by a bus.
