As some (most!) of you will know, I have issue with my neighbour.
To describe her in a nut shell, she's a heavy drug (cocaine) and alcohol user. She's extremely aggressive and violent and of course, foul mouthed. She's a bully.
I've seen her and heard her bully and threaten her way through life quite successfully I should say for the past 3 years (since I moved next door).
Now it's my turn. Except I stood up to her. I should mention that she has a child that she abuses. It's been reported several times but nothing was actually done. I couldn't come out of the wood works to say that it was me behind it and what I was hearing/witnessing either. I have my own daughter to think about and protect.
So yes, I stood up to her. And of course she's not one to back down so in the end, and to shut her up, I told her I had a recording of her abusing her kid and him pleading for her to stop. The recording is a lie. The abuse is real.
She's thick enough to not even question how I could have recorded it through the thick walls.
But....it did get to her and she's scared. Not of losing her son but to get caught. I know this for sure too.
Yesterday, she tried to scare me/attack me again. Believe it or not she thinks that cursing at me and insulting me (racial and all!) and telling me she's getting solicitors involved for "illegal recording" will scare me.
I just replied...Go Ahead...then they can have a listen to it themselves and call the police!
Okay, this is turning into a long read so I'll get to the point:
I'm going down the magic route. Thing is, even if I was to move it wouldn't be over!
I just don't know what to do for the best.
Could you suggest anything please? I'm concerned I could do the wrong thing to end this situation. My thoughts aren't pretty!
Thank you x
PS...I've done 3 years of really wishing her the best (but not doing anything else!), staying out of her way etc...Some people you just can't kill with kindness, I've tried!
