Now my mother is saying she will let my dad divorce her if he gives her £10k. Can she make these sort of demands? They've had nothing to do with one another for all this time. She is saying if he…

Touched up at the doctor's!!
Sitting in doctor's waiting room when I felt a hand on my knee. The man next to me was smiling at me with his hand creeping up my leg! I shot him my most withering look and turned my back - he put his hand back on my leg. So I snapped "what are you doing, you pervert??" The man next to him jumped up and apologised -…

Neighbours and their kids
We have recently (a year ago) had a nigerian family move in next door with 3 children (all 3 are autistic). Over the summer holidays, on many occasions (nearly daily), we've heard the mother and father physically punishing the children. Now I'm aware some parents smack their children and I believe legally they are…

(you'll see further…
