moving with help only from one member of my family

mari50

I have just moved because of ill health due to anti social behaviour (not by me I may add) over the last 18 months. My downstairs neighbour dicided it would be fun to make as much noise as possible all day and sometimes at night (slamming doors on average 30 times a day and banging). Then a year ago a couple of teenagers started causing trouble with their mates from kicking a football trying to hit windows to trying to get in during the night. Neither the landlord or the PCSO helped. On moving eventually only one of my 4 children helped me!!!!! It makes you wonder if having a family is worth it.
My new place is a lot smaller but more relaxing. It just upsets me that antisocial behaviour seems to be encouraged and not stamped out. I have been made very ill by this from losing my voice for 5 weeks, until a week after I mvoed, to blackouts which, on one occassion resulted in me stepping out in front of a car unknowingly. Sorry about the moaning but I have to get this off my chest before I take legal advise. Anyone know any good solicitors.

Oh dear you have really had a tough time
Hopefully now in your new home you can start to relax
We had neighbours from hell and had to sell up and move which took 3yrs
We now have lovely neighbours and live in a quiet area
We had to downsize and treble the mortgage but so glad we did
As for your children I can't comment maybe the others were working/ expecting other siblings to help/ had other commitments but who knows really what goes on in some of their heads
I have a daughter and a son and know I will always be able to rely on my son but not so sure about my daughter but saying that she does have long standing health issues so she depends on me more
Families are difficult to work out at times
Best wishes
Maria

Hi
I hope that things {with you and illness} settle down now you are moved.
It must be awful to have "the neighbour from hell" I've got to admit I've been pretty lucky with mine so can only imagine what you went through.
As for your family....who knows??? Sorry that's not much help
Love
Hileena

I'm sorry you suffered so much and it is such a shame anti -social behaviour isn't stamped on more thoroughly. I get annoyed by the loud music that seems to flourish when the sun shines (always the same people who want to share their choice of music) but would hate it day in day out.

Hopefully you well start to feel better now you have moved. I'm glad one of your children helped you, better than none which would have been dreadful for you.

Thank you to all who replied. I now get woken up with the sound of curlews as I now live near the river. It is a lot better for me and the neighbours are ok. I shall feel better when I have got everything sorted but being able to relax is something else. Sheer bliss. I did not know it existed in the last 18 months. My son seems a lot happier now too as he informed me that he was concerned about me which is nice. The others don't warrent thinking about so I am carrying on with my life without them.

I hope you'll be very happy in your new home, mari50. The curlews sound rather lovely.
