4 years ago , on New year's Eve, we had a shed fire which burnt down my shed and the one next door. The cause was a stray firework. It caused so much damage and took 3 fire engines to put it out.
For some odd reason, my neighbour has blamed me and from that day has harrassed me in very petty ways. I do my best to ignore her and so does my adult, autistic son.
Recently, since last year, bizzarly she's upped her game. She intimidates me in the street by barging up to me and getting right in my personal space, her daughter started parking her car right across my driveway and this week a friend approached us and told us she's been gossiping about us at her work place.
I have worked all my life since I was 16 and my son has worked too. I am now 57 and disabled with osteoarthritis in my spine, arthritis in my knees, hands and neck. I have mental health issues and suspected diabetes. I asked her over the fence to stop talking about us and she marched right into my garden right up to me and said " it's not your son I talk about , it's you ! At least I work and pay my bills" She is incredibly nasty and for no good reason. Her husband keeps right out of it and has done for a long time. He just let's her get on with it.
I am tearful and scared of becoming really depressed.
I have reported her to the housing association and they first said it's a personal matter between you two. Then because I mentioned harrassed, they said it's a police matter. I am too weak to face the police .
I will admit that I shouted at her daughter to remove her car off my driveway but try to ignore them
What on earth can I do ?
