This may sound really trivial but a neighbour opposite me keeps parking his enormous van outside my house. When I back out of my drive there is a short space of time where I can't see the road and I feel like in those few seconds, a car will come hurtling down the road and crash into the back of my car where my children are usually sitting 
.
I have broached it with him in a friendly manner before and he said it was his right to park anywhere as he pays tax and if I felt that way then I'd have to just be more careful backing out. The conversation ended with me telling him it was extremely selfish parking. He then parked it in his driveway for about 6 months but has since got another car and his can is back outside my house.
Now I'm aware this all sounds fairly mundane etc but it plays on my mind so much. I had an abusive childhood and I'm getting the dreams I used to have back then- of men forcing their way into my house through the front door and me unable to stop them (I can figure out what this means 
). I feel like this man is laughing in my face despite my valid concerns about my children getting hurt. I physically can't move this huge van myself so I'm stuck with it there with no choice.
My husband doesn't seem to care or understand how I feel and wouldn't ever confront anyone. I feel alone, vulnerable and at the mercy of selfish uncaring people.
Can someone please tell me how to not let this situation affect me so much.
