I was not sure where to post this message.

I have discussed this problem with family and have been ignoring it for nearly a year. It is so pathetic and childish and I am annoyed at myself for wasting time thinking about it!

My DS (11) had BF until about year ago. They fell out and both moved on. They then made up but both have different friends now. I stopped speaking to the other mom because I found out she had been talking about me and DS to others (about the boys issue).

For nearly a year I feel as though the other mom has been stalking me. Every time I speak to someone new she will then go out to make friends with them. Each time my DS plays with a child, she will then invite same child to her house. I have always ignored it but cannot believe it is still continuing.

A parent (casual chit-chat) told me the other day that her and her friend had had a disagreement over their DS'S. When she went to resolve it with her friend, her friend told her she had over reacted and was probably because "I" had been poisioning her against her friend.

Apparently this had been said by my stalker. Suffice to say, the parent was stumped at this comment, and as she told her friend, we only chit chat, weather, hols etc.

I could list other things she has said and done but cant be bothered. I am however a bit concerned now as she does not seem to be giving up. I have started to avoid situations (even the local park) to avoid her.

Do I continue to ignore, do I say something to her?

Hi Pinkstripes, the stalker lady lives about 1/4 mile away.

My husband has been taking DS to anything that this lady may be at as I hope that if she does not see me she will be inclined at some point to give up.

I am so glad people understand. I can talk to family about the situation but am sure if told anyone else in RL they would think I had severe paranoia. The lady is very subtle in her behaviour.

Sad i do understand unfortunatly. My neighbour started off
being subtle but my ignoring her drove her to cause criminal
damage to my property on four occasions to which
on the last occasion i involved the police.

Like your stalker lady she would stand outside
my house trying to turn other neighbours against us, thankfully
they knew what she was up to.

maybe we all had the same neighbour though mine was hinting that she was going to report me to SS for neglecting the kids.

Luckily it's half term and not seen her! Neighbour is also on holiday.

I have also changed my route to school so hopefully this will help as I should not see her!

coonectfour - have a read throught he neighbour from hell thread on am i being unreasonable - i started because this thread gave me the idea

I can understand your concern, what if she goes around doing this for the next few years, quietly poisoning other people against you?

I don't know what the answer is. Whenever I come across people as manipulative and unhinged as this I tend to run a mile but if your boys are going to attend the same upper school, you can't.

Luckily the lack of parental interaction at the Upper School should help to put an end to it. For now, best to ignore.
