I don’t post very often but just need someone to tell.
I am a widow with lupus and anxiety issues so I have just been keeping to myself.
. Last night my next door neighbour had a party about 70 people. I was thinking about reporting it on line but police turn before I had a chance. The police did nothing. Party went on till 3 am.
This morning the young girlwho held the party knocked on my door screaming at me, calling me old and Dried up, she called me a nutter and said she started a petition to get me evicted. She told me to go shag my dead husband. she just kept saying "look how beautiful I am and look at you dried up jealous lonely old cow even your husband died to get away from you". Even your family don’t want you. I had to force my door shut as she was pushing against it.

I called the police who rang me back and said they can’t come out but just to ignore her and report it to my local council.
I do suffer mental health issues and I can’t stop shaking I don’t need any one to respond, but I feel so alone and just needed to tell someone. It wasn’t even me that phoned the police.

I'm so sorry you had that experience. What an awful woman. You don't deserve that kind of treatment. flowers

Find out who your local councillor is. They are more likely to help you than the police.

Do as eazybee says about the police too.

So sorry Pink. Put a note through their door and tell them it wasn't you. What awful things to say to you. Hope you're OK today flowers

As the police are still in contact with you, ask them to tell her it wasn't you that reported her party. Good luck.

I've just read your opening post OP and then further on when you expanded on your relationship with your aggressive neighbour. I'm so sorry, you sound such a lovely caring person, she should be counting her lucky stars to have someone like you around, clearly a kind and thoughtful person. She has been unbelievable cruel with her words, she won't be young forever, and maybe when she has reached her older years, her own nasty comments may come back to slap her in the face, I like to believe in karma. Quite honestly they way you describe she comes across as really base, conniving and selfish in the extreme, almost to the point of being unhinged.

Somebody upthread mentioned Age Concern I hear they do good work with older people experiencing problems. I know you don't want to involve your family but I think you should let them know how she has verbally abused you in the most horrific way, as for getting your children struck off from the dental practice where she works, as a receptionist, I doubt whether she would have the power to do that. There are many helpful suggestions posted here, I think you probably need to be a bit proactive in dealing with someone who is an absolute monster.

I wish you all the best and hopefully happier times flowers

I don’t think that would help. Pink is not dealing with a rational person. Even if she had been the one to report the party, that was hardly a ‘normal’ response.

What a dreadful experience! Support definitely needed here. All the helpful advice should be taken up.

Hope you are feeling a bit better today,

The abuser sounds unhinged nevertheless this sort of conflict resolution might get through to her.

Unhinged behaviour is definitely being shown.

Just wondered how everything is pink. Are you feeling better?

Pink - Glad to see the huge support and (mostly!) helpful suggestions on here. I had a neighbour problem a few months ago. Other neighbours were aware but, understandably, didn’t want to get involved. What I did, although not going out often, was exchange a few words of greeting each time I happened to see anyone. As it was summer I was sometimes gardening in the front. My outdoor exercise was limited to walks to the post box and putting the bins out but I briefly greeted everyone I saw. This made me feel a lot less nervous. A councillor was extremely helpful over the legal aspects of the situation. One neighbour I already knew better than most rang me occasionally to check I was all right and said to ring any time I felt I needed support.
I am far more confident now and sleep better.
You sound like a kind and sensible person who deserves a calm life, don’t feel alone. You did the right thing in posting here.

pinkjj27, the police would need a very good reason to refuse attendance, especially when threatening behaviour is involved. There must be more to this story.

Hetty58 Sat 09-Jan-21 09:18:07

I'd love to know which subjects you teach, too!

Evoha16 Tue 12-Jan-21 19:18:17

How awful - make sure you have a Covid test ????

Blinko Tue 12-Jan-21 20:25:57

Dear me, Pinkj she sounds awful. So glad you came on here to say what's been happening. Hope you feel you've had some good advice. Sending flowers

Elrel Fri 15-Jan-21 22:08:29

I have been wondering how you are, all right I hope and getting some support. ?

Blue5 Fri 15-Jan-21 22:19:46

You sound like a lovely neighbour , wish you lived next door to me . I know what its like to have a horrible neighbour but you have done nothing wrong . Its her that has the problem . Hope you are OK

Somebody screaming in your face is not beautiful inside or out. You were beautiful to your husband - something she hasn’t had or experienced. Don’t settle for the police doing nothing. If it happens again say you are vulnerable and under threat and maybe, if she is renting, approach her landlord. This rotten time will end and life will get better.

Pinkjj
I just want to put my arm around you and give you a hug.
You have great advice here l don’t need to add anything just to say that young woman who is apparently so beautiful on the outside is ugly to the core.
I hope you are getting some comfort from everyone here.
