Concerning

Next door have made me anxious this weekend. Sunday morning she sent the oldest lad in to ask me to 'Step into her house' for a while. I declined but was worried all day. The last night she came in to 'use the phone'. She had a child with her and I got the impression it was to her mother. She was completely drunk, out of her head. Slurring her words and staggering. From what I could gather her 'mother' refused to talk to her. Then next door had the most ferocious argument with shouting swearing and banging. My nice neighbours the other side said that she'd been in there, mouthing off about her partner and asking for drink.
Wonder what's happening inside those kids heads? The oldest looks pale and withdrawn. Nervous. She sends him in for money and if I refuse he looks worried.
It's hard for me to ignore their plight. I'm not sure what to do, if there's anything to do.
How many kids are there out there that have crap lives. Their parents smoke, drink, take drugs. Threaten to part every day. How can they grow and develop in such stress. My friend Redtoaster Knows what I'm talking about. She's had neighbour issues as well.
I guess the health care professional in me won't lie still.
