My neighbours are ar**holes...... had to call the police

[sparklymieow]

went to my mum's to sort out their internet and got a call from my DH, very shaken and he said that the neighbours had been round and threaten him and were standing outside and not to come home I phoned the police from my mums and came straight home, I leaped out and told my neighbour that he had no right to threaten anyone and to make them feel like this, he called me a thing and that I should just get into my 'dirty' house.... my mum got out and said to him that she was sorry for shouting over the fence on sunday and that the arguement was with her and not us.... he told us to get off 'his' garden (not his its his parents house) and started to push me, at which point my dad jumped between us, and he said that he would flatten my dad!!! I said the plice were on their way, and he said that if they did come I wouldn't be living here much longer....... I went into the house and phoned the council and said that I want to make a complaint about the neighbours. The police turned up then and spoke to us, they had already been next door, and he said that they had missed out lots of information, I went and got the kids from scool whil the police were next door and broke down in the office...... I jus want a quiet life, wh is it that wherever I go, there is trouble

this is taking its toll now, life is unbearable, DH still won't go out, I feel so drained, and I can't see a way out without upsetting people...

Most of this has been suggested in this thread. Wish there was more to be done from afar to help.

How high a priority for them do you think making your life a misery is? If 'not very' then maybe keeping out of the way for a few days is the best bet. Moving is always stressful at the best of times, and with the extra need for house adaptions etc, it sounds as if you could do with time to find the best place and plan properly instead of being forced into it as an emergency.

The thing is they recently came out of prison for violent. The oldest broke into an old mans house in the street and tied him up and scared the old boy half to death, the 2nd one burnt someones eye with a fag and blinded him. do I really want to risk it??

Great content on that link, slartibardfast.

It sounds like it is so intolerable, and damaging to your health that the move would be the best option, even knowing the upheaval.

Carrying on logging incidents / calling police / get onto the GP for a statement / letter about the health for you / dh, maybe even the kids and fight for whatever the best option is for you.

i'm on a new thread in the feeling depressed section.
