Hi, I am moving house at the end of the month, and feeling very vulnerable and scared. For the last 8 years in my current property, all I have had is neighbours who inflict domestic violence on their partners. The most recent events happened at the end of dec last year when I got a new neighbour. My the first week of jan her ex turned up and almost immediately the verbal abuse started then the violence..i have been kept awake most nights from 10pm-6am listening to this. On many occasions the police were called, when all comes to all, she has been given her notice to quit.
I agreed to take the new house as I wanted away from this, and I am turmoil now and starting to judge myself if I am doing the right thing. The last time I moved my children's dad was with me, and that was over 10 years ago..i am having to do everything on my own, sorted the redirection and removal of everything. I am finding it impossible, upsetting and very tiring both emotionally/physically....and not to mention the financial side!! I have only very recently got a boyfriend who knows how I feel, and I have support in some ways, but constantly waking up with butterflies and feeling sick about it all...is it normal to feel like this? And to make matters worse, I bumped into the street's busybody, who slagged everyone off who lived there, and said it was a horrible street with horrible ppl and that she was taking ppl to court including our housing association because of the ppl they have put in! Oh, and she is taking the police to court as well as she feels they aren't doing enough!! That really didn't help the way I was feeling..:( x
