Been living fairly happily in a Victorian mid terrace for the last 20 months. Neighbours on both sides. Neighbour 1 is a lady I think a few years younger than me and her 2 daughters. Neighbour 2 is a family, two young kids, a teenager, a baby and 2 large dogs. All houses are 2 bedroom.
Neighbour 2 has always been an issue. She screams at her dc all the time, she fights with her oh, lots of screaming and swearing and while the dc are there. The main issue is one of the dogs. One is OK, the other barks constantly when she goes out, I guess he has anxiety but it's soul destroying to listen to.
A few weeks back, the dog had been barking for 4 straight hours, and I had a poorly ss4 who was trying to sleep and couldn't. It was about 10pm. I cracked. I found neighbour 2 on Facebook and messaged her, politely, saying that her dog had been barking for hours and I was trying to get a sick child to sleep. She was immediately defensive, wouldn't believe that it was her dog I could hear, but after another half hour she came back, dog stopped, and I thought that was it.
Then I noticed that the conversation we'd had now said 'Facebook user' basically she'd blocked me. Then yesterday the postman tried to deliver a package to me, I was out so they tried neighbour 2 who refused to accept it, then neighbour 1 who also refused to accept it, turns out neighbour 1 and 2 are good friends so have decided to hate me together it seems.
I don't feel comfortable at home anymore. I have anxiety, and tinnitus, otherwise I would have used earplugs. Can't afford to move. How should I handle this?
