[1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-08-31 Hey all! A cathartic rant. Many of you know I live with TBI/ABI and several other comorbidities. On Monday morning I was bullied and assaulted by the punk assed girls next door. This is a culmination of over a year of having to live with nuisance neighbors. Charges have been filed for aggravated assault w/special circumstances (elderly and disabled), with the intent to cause grievous injury. Since they left the altercation after the police were called, I must wait for the slow wheels of justice to turn and try to anticipate what the girls will do next because Wed morning I found the air had been let out of my front tires. Talk to the landlord you say? I have repeatedly. They pay their rent, so he has been treating this as some sort of schoolyard tussle. In fact, after calling the police a second time because they had been fighting for hours, the landlord threatened me with eviction if he got fined for excessive 911 calls. So when they start beating the crap out of each other, I ask my neighbor across from me to call. She can hear what they're saying better than what I hear through the walls. Needless to say, one of them was arrested during that police visit. My landlord does nothing. 6 weeks ago they were fighting again. One was even trying to leave, and the other one would drag her back. It's quite triggering. My neighbor calls the police again and they are both arrested this time. And still, the landlord does not evict them. The first time they ever accosted me, my landlord told us not to talk to each other and told me they were not well (one is BPD). Apparently, he had words with her and he told me he would not renew their lease. In addition, I had to listen to her beat her dog whenever she was having a bad day. Based on what he told me, I figured I could wait things out until May 1st when their lease expired. On May 1, not only was their lease renewed, but they were allowed to let a homeless person move, and they got another dog. Another thing the LL said he would not allow. They never clean up after their animal and they let their dog repeatedly shit diarrhea on my strawberry plants. Whenever I complained to the landlord, as he has told them not to let their dog on the common ground without a leash, he would send out a generic email to all three tenants reminding us of the quiet time and to clean up after our dogs. I am a childless cat lady. My landlord is a greedy chickenshit. So, when I realized the ASPD idiot in the other apt was letting his inner sociopath out during the evenings, cutting down my flowers and garden plants, I knew I was in trouble. My stress level is off the charts and I just had ablation surgery on my heart two weeks ago. My hypothalamus has not reset in over a year. Still, I found ways to sleep, and I spent a lot of time sitting for others and being provided with a safe, quiet place to sleep. Upon showing a video of said sociopath ripping out my sunflowers, the landlord said he would talk to him. But the destructive behavior escalated. And my landlord says he will have a meeting to see what the problem is. He held that meeting last week. Then he wanted a meeting with me. We met, and he told me the neighbor had no issue with me. He wanted to say it was because of drinking. My landlord said he didn't think it would happen again, and what were my thoughts? I told him it was vandalism, destruction of personal property, I had done nothing to warrant his behavior, I didn't deserve it, and I didn't feel safe. I also told him that I did file a police report and would follow through. He didn't think I would have any more problems with the sociopath. A man who did not apologize to me or make things right is not going to stop his behavior. So, back to the assault. After the LL spoke with us he sent out another email to all three tenants. He stated that he came out to resolve a conflict he thinks has been resolved. He named me specifically, while not saying anyone else's name, and said if anyone had any issues with the plants, talk to me first. Don't damage them. PS I am going out of town on Monday for a week. After putting a target on my back, that Monday morning the girls in the other apt accosted me, bullying and trying to provoke a response from me. One kept shoving her phone inches from my face while yelling I'm recording you, and I'm not afraid of you. Then she proceeded to spit on me repeatedly while her GF kept stepping in front of me yelling you think I am going to let you talk to my GF like that? Huh? huh? This was over me calling her GF a cunt back in March. They were also yelling about having to go to jail 6 weeks ago because I called the cops. Except I didn't. One thing I have learn with bullies is they are cowards. And if you back down to cowards, the bullying never ends. So when one is in my face talking shit I step closer and make them back up. And like cowards it was a pile on. When they started training to fuck up my shit and one picked up a boulder next to my truck, it brought the fight out to the parking lot. While both girls ran to their car (because they're not afraid of me) the yelling continues. Until the instigator open her car door and slammed into me. It was either push back or fall on my ass. When I push back all three girls came at me and started shoving me against my truck. One of the girls had a taser. She tagged me in the hip with it. It stung, but I was still standing. So the instigator ripped the taser from the girl's hand and tagged me 6 inches from my heart. Another sting and me saying are you fucking kidding me!?! Now I definitely calling the cops. As I walked away she kept discharging the toy (I mean seriously?) behind me. And of course they left. I contacted the landlord again and his response was " Thank you for letting me know, I'm not getting in the middle of it" So I have a shitshow on my hands and a hypothalamus that says fuck off, I'm busy. A loop that continuously replays the assault or my fantasies of revenge. I can't sleep or eat or get the wheels of justice to turn any sooner and I'm afraid that if the girls don't kill me my cortisol will. Or my guilt. I have been victim blaming myself as well. Whew! That felt good. Maybe I can make it another day without constantly thinking of hurting them. And please, I beg of you to not tell me the solution is moving. Its not an option until I pay off my truck and have I more income to move to a better neighborhood. I had to pay down 50k after a divorce and thought the cheaper rent in Fentanyl Flats would help me reach my goal sooner. Now, I must move out of a dangerous situation and can't think of a more difficult undertaking for me. Never have I felt so on my own. Thanks for reading.
