Posting for traffic really because I need some advice.
My neighbour is completely bonkers and totally paranoid and we have had many incidents over the years that have been reported to the relevant people such as environmental health, noise abbaitment, pcso's and the police. Just for background really, we have been accused of running an engine in our lounge that she can hear constantly ( it was found she has tinnitus) she has had the police knock us out of bed at 3 am for knocking on her patio doors in the back garden ( we live near a railway and they were working on the tracks, we were asleep !) she has threatened to burn our house down, stab us, shoot us and eventually she was sectioned under the mental health act. While I am very sympathetic, it has made our lives hell, so much so that I had a kind of breakdown and was signed off work for 3 months with stress and anxiety, which didn't help as I was then a captive audience in my own house, when all I wanted to do was run away. At one point we put our house up for sale, however we had to tell prospective buyers the issues experienced with next door so it was impossible to sell. She screams constantly at us, plays music at all hours, holds a rape alarm to the bedroom wall for hours on end and numerous other incidents too unbelievable to explain. When we have reported her she makes a counter accusation and then we end up being investigated and end up in a vicious circle.
The new issue is that she has started to video us on her phone, leaving the house. She stands in front of our lounge window and videos us in the house. When she stands there she then makes the dogs bark, then screams at us for them barking. I shut the curtains but am now living in darkness with them closed all the time. If I could afford to have blinds fitted so that I could tilt them shut I would, but I really don't have the money. I am not prepared to challenge her as this results in endless nights of noise, music, banging, screaming and really just escalates everything. No one can help us and I don't know what to do. She has made me contemplate suicide to escape this, but I love my kids too much. Please give me some advice. She is as I type stood outside my house playing music and chanting.
