It would be nice to think I was dealing with a psychiatric issue, only this is not the case, in spite of the fact I DO deal with depression and other issues.
I have had to take the drastic step of purchasing a mobile home (thank God I had the resources to do so) and will be putting my house on the market in January due to the NIGHTLY stalking issue on the part of my neighbor. Believe me, if I for one minute thought this were a psychiatric issue I would not be taking such drastic steps. I'd be at the Dr's office.
What I've learned through this experience is that the police are not my friends, there are not sufficient resources out there for those who are stalked, and that friendships are fragile.
What bothers me is all of it. I'm not sure what I expect out of this thread, but I am very sad I have to leave my home and it was never my aspiration to move to something not as nice. However, when the police are against you, you are pretty much screwed. That much I found out.
As to the "friends" who gave it very little time and effort to ascertain whether it was happening or not, that hurts. A lot.
And this is just kind of a "getting it out" sort of post. Most people are happy when a deal goes through. I'm just angry and sad. Oh, and I'm also grateful that I have a place to escape to, even though I will have to keep up the pretense of living here until my house sells.

There is nothing anyone on a forum could have done to help you other than give you thier honest opinion.
I wonder if you had it to do again would you have made such big deal out of the wall???

If you feel so distrustful of your local police, I think you should be moving to a new city. Staying where you feel unsafe isn't going to solve anything.

I am moving to a new city. In fact, I'd just like to add that I have a friend who happens to be black who has been harassed for riding his bike on the sidewalk. Finally, after complying with all of the requests by the police, they admitted to racial profiling.

ok, that's good to know. There should be no further issues then.
Merry Christmas and a wonderful New Year--New Beginnings!
I've been wondering what was going on with your situation. I want to wish you the best of luck in your new city and home, and in selling your house.
Thank you so much. The closing is next week. It was a rush deal. I just can't take this anymore. Having said this, I will still need to spend a lot of time at my current house to give the appearance all continues on, so he does not get out of hand with my property. I can leave lights on at night and still slip away and he won't have a clue. But I do still need to spend a fair amount of time here to devote to selling this place.
I got a great deal, although it's a fixer upper. What's most important is my pets will be safe and I'll be able to sleep normal hours.

Thank you! As I mentioned, the closing is next week. I can technically spend New Year's Day there, although I may spend New Year's Eve here. I just feel the need to make my presence known and be vigilant and keep an eye on things.
And Merry Christmas and may 2012 not be the end of us all!
mistygrl1092......I'm sorry that you had to take such drastic measures as a solution to your dilemma....I think it's for the best though...and wish you well, and that you find peace and happiness in your knew home.
