Then my neighbor texted me the next day after I hadn't heard from her for months. Yesterday I decided to walk, rather than drive, to the mailboxes where we get our mail. Two men came out at the same time as I was there, and sure enough my neighbor was banging on my door the next day. It was the first time I had walked to my mailbox. I have otherwise driven to the box and just step out, get my mail, and drive on.

I live in a prison in my house but dont' have the energy and mental clarity to make a move, so I am trapped by these truly awful people.

I also don't go out in my yard even to mow or rake leaves. I get someone to do it for me.

This neighbor, who pretends to be my friend, has literally called the police dozens of times to make a 'wellness check'. Then I get armed men banging on my door and shouting out my name. So I am terrified every time I deal with her wondering when is the next time she will call the police.
Ugh, that sounds annoying. It seems like after awhile, the police would start to put her calls in the non-emergency type call and just call you to check on you or something? Have you called your local police department and asked if there is anything you can do about it? We have a woman on our street, she calls the police all the time, at least once a week. She has issues with her adult daughter, but the police have started basically treating her calls as non-emergency because the daughter is just having arguments with the mom, nothing physical or dangerous. But every time they come to her house, there are no flashing lights. This has been going on as long as I've lived on this street, for 14 years. But God knows what the police will do if she does have an actual emergency. I guess they can tell by the call and the issue she's calling about?
