I swear I live on Wysteria Lane. I have the worst neighbors ever. They are nosy, rude, obnoxious and mean. I hate it. Yet I have to be nice because otherwise it would be WW3 around here. I have turned a blind eye for months, trying to ignore rude comments, all the lies and the jealousy. I have been the bigger person because I am too busy to be bothered by such nonsense. WEll these same neighbors who have the audacity to leave my daughter out when the whole neighborhood is on their trampoline, to leave their daughter over my house all day, while they don't even speak to me or my daughter. It is the most screwed up thing. I want to tell her to go home, but it isn't her fault I feel I am being manipulated and I hate that!!! I want to scream right now, because I can't confront her mom, she is a true nutcase!! I am not trying to be rude, she just really is off her rocker. What do I do????

What an amazing story Shatteredsoul, In your place i would have gotten psychosis or something. I could've never stood your situation and would've fled as soon as that had started. Congratulations on you moving, for you and your kids. I just hope the other girl won't end up like her mom. It would be very sad. I'm worried about her.
Anyway, by the way, where in Oregon do you guys live or are moving to, if i may know? Because i have an aunt who lives around there and i live in Washington.

shatteredsoul

Thanks for your interest in the dramatic life of me. LOL I hope that the girl won't end up like her mom either. Although, her mom is really mean to her and she is a pretty sweet kid. I think she is angry underneath it all, I am not sure how that will all play out in adolescence. Especially because she is quite the follower. That worries me too. The bad thing is the market is so slow right now so I don't know when we will sell our house. A year and a half ago we could have sold it in less than a week. Oh well. I don't know where Start is in Oregon. I am in South Florida right now and we are weighing our options on where to move. Ya know, for awhile I really did freak out because there is more than one crazy neighbor but I realized, why let them get the best of me? I never did anything to deserve their wickedness and the way they treat me says a lot more about them, than it does about me. If people don't like me , that is fine. There is no reason to be so abusive. Either to me or my child. I did finally confront one neighbor about her making up lies, she started screaming and cursing at me. I just looked at her like she was absolutely nuts. I said look at you, you look like a fool. YOu know you are a liar and you are completely pathetic. I won't waste my energy dealing with you or another breath talking to you. I can't say sometimes I don't want to scream my head off but I don't. I pull out of the driveway and look straight ahead. After what they think really means nothing, unless I make it mean something. About ten years ago I would have been in a knock down, drag out fight. I guess being in your 30's does that to you. Ha Ha. Anyway, I am always looking forward to having stimulating conversation with people like you, hope to hear from you again. Start and Mango, my friends. I am happy to have you both. Mango, glad we can make you feel all warm and fuzzy, you are just that kind of a gal!!!! Thank God today is Friday.

Obviously those people are not really human(figuratively speaking), so why should a real human being like you ever have to put up with such nonsense. There is stuff going on similar to that in my own family, but not as bad as your situation sounds. People who make themselves an enemy for senseless reasons. Personally, I do not and am not anyone's enemy and i do not ever wish to have any. But those people do not deserve to have anything in this life until they learn from their errors and try to change for the better. That's just my opinion.
Meanwhile, I really hope that soon, Shatteredsoul, you can sell your house and move on with your life. And just remember to always keep your head on high, don't let those individuals make your faith, hope, integrity, and confidence ever waiver. Teach them a lesson with that, do not let yourself be put down, ever.

Just want to request that you keep us updated in your situation. Atleast for me it was interesting to hear about it.

Thanks for your interest and concern. My neighbors have been busy worrying about a peeping Tom in the neighborhood so they aren't paying any attention to me right now. They have hidden cameras out to try and catch the pervert. THAT is a good thing!! However, since you were wondering,I have my fair share of nasty people I am dealing with outside of my neighborhood. So, I guess it is just that time of month or something! When it rains it pours and man is it pouring on my head. Sorry. The last couple days have really sucked and I am not really very personable right now. I feel like I try to be fair and decent to people and I get stepped on. I am not a submissive person either, so when people are rude or take advantage of me I get really pissed off. I try to keep my anger controlled because it isn't healthy to be that way. I do have that tendency when someone pushes, I push back harder. NOt really the way to stay centered and balanced. I get tired of people who try to intimidate me or that use me. I would help anyone who needed it if I thought I could help and not for any monetary return. I would do it because its the right thing. I noticed that doesn't always happen the other way around. I apologize for ranting and raving. I am in a terrible mood and I am tired of sh!tty people. You are a Godsend and I appreciate your genuine interest in me.

Don't worry, everyone gets in a bad mood when things like those happen. I'm truly sorry your days haven't been the best, i personally didn't have a good day either, but i will not let that get to me. I hear what you're saying about getting stepped on. In fact, that has been a life long issue for me. Sometimes no matter how kind i am to people and how much i tolerate certain things, i still end up with that feeling. And it's not just a feeling, they actually do for some reason step on me. Yeah it does hurt me and irritate me a lot, so i do know how you feel. But just remember evertime that happens to you, you probably are worth more than those people. They're not really getting anything out of it, doing so is not at all making them better than you. So it's not worth it to fight back to what they do, don't be like them in any way. Keep head up high, like it should be.

shatteredsoul

You are so right and I am going to take your advice on that one. Experience is the best teacher and it sounds like you have learned your lessons well. It is unfortunate that you too have experiened similar situations. I guess we just have to become more resilient in the process. Sometimes it feels like life is a series of tests. Some of them I fail and some I pass with flying colors. I will try to pass this one by keeping my head high and recognizing that some people enjoy hurting others. This isn't to be taken personally and I cannot worry about how other people choose to treat me. I can only choose how I respond. Continue passing on your wisdom. I do truly enjoy it!!!! Peace to you today, my friend...

METERRE

I'm glad you are trying to make yourself better. Hope your issues will resolve soon and in a positive manner. Meanwhile, not pressuring you, keep us updated when something new comes up. Even if you want to just talk about how your day went or something. Have a very good day.

Ok I had to tell you since I know you would find it interesting/funny. Last night I am outside with my friends who are visiting from out of town and my neighbor across the street is outside watching us. We decide to go to dinner at this place close by. As we leave, my neighbor leaves. Whatever, I wasn't really paying attention. Well, when we show up at the restaraunt I see my neighbor's car. I see the kids looking and they say, look who is here mom. I just nod my head and say ok guys, no staring just keep walking. I get inside and two minutes later she is inside too. Oh well. We stay to ourselves in our corner of the place. As we leave to go to our car, I see her go to her car. When I pull out, she is pulling out too. When I get home, she is standing outside watching us. It is just so funny because I don't even look her way. I just keep to myself and act like she isn't there. My friend was like, that was so weird. What is wrong with her, is she a stalker or something? Is she jealous of you or obsessed with you or what? i was like, no she is just crazy. There is nothing to be jealous of. I think she does it to creep me out. Yeah, just another day on Wysteria Lane.... LOL LOL LOL. I have to laugh. What else can I do?????
OH, by the way, how are you? Happy Thursday to you. and thanks for your all your input!!!!!!
