Hey, altough this is a mumsnet forum I'm sorry to disturb this however found few similar threads with good advice on here,

We currently live in a share house of 7 rooms, we have 2 rooms total people living here is 10 and 1 child

My family my mom her boyfriend me and my sister,(i'm adult supporting mom as much as I can do with sister and rental costs)

The situation:( I'm not a racist seing racism annoys me and i cant understand why it stil happens and i dont know if its offensive but I will call white people white black people black)

A woman with husband lives on ground flor but quite further away as kitchen is next to our rooms they live behind the kitchen and my moms boyfriend cousin lives upstairs,moms boyfriend is black we are white, the other neighbours are black and a friendly Indian couple but obviously not racist we discuss and stuff. however the woman is a trouble, she is very aggressive shouts always and looks for chances to fight. (word fights) physical fight hasnt been yet there but there will be soon if nothing will be changed as she started to push mom and stuff. the husband is protective towards the wife of course he is her husband but at begining he was forcing her to apologise now he supports her actions. basically what she will do is block the way to kitchen because my mom is ignoring her for the sake of my sister as she starts crying every time the fight starts we kinda ignore her and as further we ignore her as further she goes with lies/rumours

We know of her bad past as a prostitute but never said anything and I don't intend too, I'm a better person then her,

Last night I was about to call police but honestly I'm a little scared. because she hurt herself in hand with a knife and put a plaster on it, she has said it to his cousin that she did it herself but they are all scared of this woman, yesterday their friends from some community came and discussed this man acted surprise as the cousin said some things about the woman, she has said to the cousin that she cant see my mom if she sees her she wants to do something for her. but as soon as her husband comes or someone else she tries to act innocent and a victim. honestly I think her hugest anger is that we're white and my mom lives with a black guy, because we moved in here after her boyfriend. we thought its for a short time but saving up money now was the main reason we stayed as I was still studying and just finished we all got jobs but we are not ready to move yet as we dont own the savings of a deposit and 1 months rent for a house.

Can I ask you what we should do this in the situation? if we call police other neighbours are scared to say anything the previous people who lived in our rooms moved away because of that woman thats what the indian couple has told me they learnt just run away from her way to survive in this house. We havent called the landlord yet. she doesnt pick but I dont feel like she will take a huge impact on the situation so if someone has experienced something similar would appreciate advice.

Sorry forthe confusing long thread I'm still learning English so might be a little hard to understand me

Sorry it is a little hard to understand your post so forgive me if I've got it wrong.
You house share with your family and other families and your mother is being bullied by another woman (you think may be racist).

All other people living there are scared of this woman who seems to be suffering with mental health issues and has cut herself?

Can you take a note of everything she is doing to your mother to present to the landlord?
