Don't know what to do

I am not suppose to have any stress due to my health and now today has turned into a very bad day. Those of you who know about my noise problems in this apartment know that I am pretty fed up with this place. Well "she" was doing it again today. The one that lives right above me with two little kids. I had it, so I banged on the wall back at them. Well about 10 minutes later she came down and started banging on my door. I did not want to be yelled at and bullied, and I know she would have done that because I heard her on the way back up to her place cussing at me. She is not a nice person at all. What am I suppose to do???? Take this noise??? All I want is peace and quiet! She is a serious Bi***h! She is constantly leaving those kids alone. And she expects me to pay for it?? Just deal with this noise?? That isn't fair. I am usually a really nice person. But I am not when it comes to her. I mean, I was here first. I am so miserable here I just want out. All this stress is not helping my health at all. Did I do the right thing by not opening the door?? I know she was pi**ed as anything. And all I did was bang on the wall two times. Last night it was worse. I mean the noise was. I couldn't even hear the tv hardly. I am just so sick of it.

If she is leaving the kids alone, call Child Protective Services. They will come out and do something about it. Maybe they will throw her in jail and you will have some peace and quiet. If she really is the psycho biatch, you were smart not opening the door. Who knows what she will do. One way to really piss someone like her off is to keep your cool when she is going off and cursing at you. Find as many ways of calling her a dumb trashy b without actually saying it. Use your brain and be as articulate as possible. It will really get her goat. I used to love doing that to people. They couldn't rile me and it pissed them off to no end. LOL I'm a real biatch. I love playing head games with trash.

If she is leaving the kids alone, call child protective services. That aside, if you have health issues that are affected by your reaction to her behavior, shouldn't you just move out? Even if you were there first, what's more important, you winning or your health?

Hi Catlady, Thanks for telling me that. I know it riles people up and normally I am not that kind of person to do that, but if I have to I will. I am just so depressed about this whole situation. Mostly, I am blaming myself for doing this to my son. He is 16 now, and shouldn't be living in a crampy little apartment at his age. It is unfair to him. I have this fear that he will want to go live with his dad. Then I would be totally alone. Well, I would still have my cat, but my son helps me not to be so depressed all the time. Well, thanks for your advice.

EEBEAN, If I could move I would. Believe me. I don't have the money to. I wish more than anything I did. I am purely miserable which dosent help my health. Or my depression, which I have had for years. Thanks

I think you did the right thing but not opening the door. I can assume she knew by you banging on the ceiling they were being to loud. If she was as mad as you said. There was really no point in opening the door. Nothing would of came of the matter. Have you eve thought of calling the cops or landlord when to much noise is going? That way they can hear it and tell them to cut it out. Espically with your health problems, I am sure the cops could scare the crap into them showing a little compassion instead of being a one jerks.

Thanks. I was hoping I did the right thing. The landlord won't do anything. I have tried. This has been going on for a year now. They say she has rights to. And renting an upstairs apartment to someone that has little kids is knowing there will be problems. I haven't called the police. I don't want to make things worse with her. This is a large complex and there are alot of people like her living here. I just keep praying she will move out. And that she won't come to my door again. Thankyou for your imput. It helped.

If it gets to bad.or happening to late at night. Call the cops. As most places have what they refer to as noise ordiances.

Hi Lagirl1966, I really feel for you right now. I am still not doing that well either. but, if i were you, i would complain to child protection about her treatment of those children and also to your landlord about the noise. I know that you don't want to get into anything with your neighbour so, do it anonomously. Don't give your name. I wish you all the luck in the world and i hope and pray your situation changes for the better some time really soon.

Have you considered moving? Are you under a lease? If it's that lease that is preventing you from moving, I got a feeling you probably could get out of it. Most leases have a little clause in them about you having the right to enjoy you living arrangements....if the noise is bad enough to affect your health and is outside of the range of normal activity, they may have broken that lease. if they have, and you can prove it probably in a court of law, well, there's a possibility that they would to refund you deposit and reimburse you your moving expenses...at least that's how it is in virginia I believe. Most cities have an organization that helps tennants out when it comes to tennants right, do a little searching and see if there's one in your area, and go have a talk with them....
