It’s so difficult kittylester, there was a time when I would have said without doubt, that I would have approached and asked if he was ok, or tried to contact someone. But I have had my fingers burned.
Several years ago, I contacted the police after seeing my new neighbour, out with her baby, whilst appearing to be drunk. Her blouse was buttoned incorrectly, and she had dinner down herself.
I saw the police arrive at her house, then around about an hour later, i got a knock my door. I had given my name and address, as I believed I had nothing to be ashamed of. The police informed me that the lady was diagnosed with dyspraxia (I had never heard of it at the time), but was perfectly capable of taking care of her baby. I felt deeply ashamed, and have been much more careful about assuming the worst in people ever since.
It is very easy with hindsight to say what we would do, but in the moment, it’s totally different. What’s done is done, try to put it to the back of your mind, it’s pointless worrying about things that we can’t change.
