How Do You Deal With Crazy?

[shimmerz]

If you have a cell phone I would take a video of her doing this stuff. That will either stop her dead in her tracks or it will provide proof that this stuff is actually happening. Not sure if where you live, you need to warn her that you are recording her actions.

That's an idea I've thought of.

Well so much for ignoring her. Now she accused me of doing something to her washer.

I told her not to talk to me. She kept on and I completely lost my temper I screamed at her to leave me alone! Turned off the light at top of stairs and slammed the door.

OMG I am not proud of myself at all.

I think if I see her down there again. I should just leave.

 

[Heather]

It just doesn't stop. My daughter and I were outside in backyard and she came down the stairs and locked us out.

I didn't have my house keys or my cell phone.

I was banging and banging on the door...saying "please open the door!"

She went upstairs and we had no way to get in.

Thank goodness first floor was home and she unlocked door. Called landlord... He's no help.

I was able to track down initial police report showing that SHE called the cops not me. I can show it to landlord.

 

[Heather]

Quiet...no issues last two days.

I'm very happy with that!

I am not a doc, but I know ppl with final stage liver failure (alcoholics) are literally crazy. Especially if they drink alcohol cuz it goes unfiltered right to the brain. Many ppl with PTS for whatever the reason think alcohol makes them better only to leave them with liver failure. There is no fighting crazy. Love, forgiveness, care, kindness. Treat her as you would want a war hero to be treated or an abused woman to be treated. Shit, maybe she was a sex slave. You don't know. Call the local religious leaders rather than the police.

@Cathy O. I'm not sure where you came up with the idea that this woman is an alcoholic, so I don't think assuming she is one is something you should do. Her behavior is quite unhinged, but to label her an alcoholic with liver disease just doesn't fit. And then sex slave?????? Me thinks you have a vivid imagination that's in overdrive....

Now the Lady downstairs screamed at me yesterday...I just walked away.

She accused me of messing with her washer, letting my daughter and her friends knock over her stuff in the back yard and messing with her mailbox. I didn't do any of that. And I was outside with the kids and they were only on the trampoline and sitting at the table drawing.

So, now I'm dealing with crazy x 2.

I know for a fact lady on first floor doesn't drink. Sex slave....I don't think so either.

I'm in a really good place right now and I'm not gonna let 2 loonies affect that.

I just have started recording everything... Better safe than sorry.

Just stay focused on this. Treat them as if they were an infectious disease -- avoid, avoid, avoid, and do not engage.

@Heather I'm so sorry that you are dealing with this shit. It's hard enough to "try" and be sane, and then you have to deal with crazies. It ain't easy, but keep on ignoring!!!!

 

[Heather]

Thanks everyone for your input.

It was beautiful out today...so we went out in backyard. I put door stop on outside door and note saying backyard in use.

We had fun jumping on trampoline and sitting on my new table and chairs...with umbrella.

Its nice out there and I'm not gonna let them ruin that for us.

Plus I taped whole thing in case any of the crazies attacked me.

 

[Heather]

My daughter did admit to doing something to lady on 3rd floor...surprisingly it WASN'T something she accused us of.

She thought I'd get mad at her. I was just glad she told me and asked her not to do anything else cause its just gonna make things escalate more.

Do I condone what she did absolutely not but I'm glad she trusted me enough to tell me. To me its more important for her to feel comfortable coming to me.

Quite frankly I'm more shocked at what she did. Leaves me shaking my head. She said she did it 3 weeks ago when craziness first started.

She agreed no more mischievous behavior.

So far things are still quite. Thank goodness!

Seek a legal counsel and be advised. Then start working it out. Also, you start finding a new place to stay that's another way to escape from that crazy neighbor!
