Basic story: Me and my boyfriend were living with his parents. His "father" is a terrible man. Since practically the day I moved in with them he has been nothing but rude. derogatory, threatening, offensive, and down right cruel to me. He is also a severe drug user and has mental problems on top of that. The police never took him when he went crazy, which was decently often. He even wrote threatening letters to my boyfriend and another friends. But the police couldn't do anything about it because "He didn't autograph them." We had been trying to get jobs and move out for some time before we ended up having no choice in the matter. So we were/are in the process of moving.

What happened: Since we were moving I was only able to take one of my dogs to the new house. So I left the older larger dog with his parents with them to take with them when they moved out. We had been in the process of moving our stuff out but was unable to because the transmission on our car went out. Anyways I found out that they had not been feeding my older dog, he hadn't eaten in over a week. This was due to the "father" not letting his mother buy food for him because he wanted drugs. So both my boyfriend and I flip Sh*t on both of them about that. They ended up going out and buying him food for that day only. So my boyfriend and I went down there to make sure that they were going to properly take care of the poor guy and grab some more of our stuff. While we're there his father starts throwing a tantrum about one thing or another and starts throwing things at his mother. I stepped in and yelled at him about doing that and that he needed to stop. He then started throwing things at me and my boyfriend stepped in to defend me. His "father" then jumped on him and started hitting him. His younger brother then pulled him off of him and etc etc. His "father" ended up bringing out this dart gun and some weird looking dart that was apparently coated with mercury and said he was going to shoot us all with it. But by that point we had called the police and was on our way out. The police told us to wait up the road and came and talked to us. They talked to him and took him away. BUT, not for his basically trying/threatening to kill us. They said they took him because he was strung out on meth and he would be out within 12-18 hours when he's clean. I know we're at a new house and he doesn't know where it is but I am so terrified that he'll find us and do something. The police won't/can't do anything and there is no escape. How do I deal with this?

Oh dear. Get yourselves a restraining order, stat. I also recommend taking the older dog and finding a loving replacement home for him as quickly as you possibly can. I wouldn't recommend giving the dog to a shelter because I have little doubt that they would euthanize him because of his age.

The police should be giving you more support in this situation. Since they aren't, I don't know what to tell you, but get that restraining order.

I have taken my dog. Sorry! I forgot to mention that, as you can see I'm very stressed. His mother decided to take the chance of him being in jail and she's going disappear and take him with her to someones house in a nearby town. I don't know if we can even put a restraining order on him. Unless we can use today for that...
