The problem is two-fold here .. the neighbor makes it impossible to ignore her by knocking on my door, and the landlady does not get in til Monday so we have to wait til then to get in touch with her. Otherwise, yes, we intend on getting ahold of the landlady.

This neighbor also let's her dogs run around off their leash (she has 3 small dogs) and she is either smoking crack or weed bc she gags all the time - but only when inside her apartment, never wheezing climbing the stairs or etc .. and my husband said he smelled crack when he went outside our apartment once when she was gagging. She works night shift so she allows her dogs to run and bark and play early in the morning when she gets home - and yea, you can hear the running through our ceiling loud enough it wakes us and our dogs up. When I told her about the dogs barking waking us up she said "well I don't get the luxury of staying home with my dogs all the time" (both my husband and I are on disability due to our psychological problems), I have to WORK for my pay. As if my life is some kind of luxurious thing bc I am on disability.

These are the things that brought me to needing disability:
My mom died when I was 12
I blamed myself for her death
My dad was not there for me emotionally at all after that
Both my step mom and him became emotionally abusive, as was one step sister
My violin teacher tried to molest me
When I quit lessons my Dad demeaned me
My first job I was sexually harassed to the point I was scared for my life
When I told boss, she spread rumors about me
When I quit, Dad demeaned me
My first boyfriend raped me but I kept going out with him anyway bc he was the one who showed me the most love
When we planned and successfully became pregnant when I was 17, my Dad made me adopt my child out - he is the only child I was ever able to conceive (I am 44)
When I was 18, I was held at gunpoint during a robbery at my 2nd job
When I was 19, I moved in with my aunt's across the US bc dad would not let me move back in without paying $200/mo rent to sleep on the couch and I had just lost my job due to totalling my car in an accident, and they demeaned me too.

Before losing my job, I was raped a second time by a co-worker while on break at work and a third time by my ex-boyfriend at my home when he came over once. I reported the third rape to the cops but they refused to do anything about it saying it was a lover's spat.

Once I was at my aunt's I started trying to find psychological help for myself bc I had been suicidal for years but everyone just laughed and said "everyone has problems, get over it". Every boyfriend I got .. even the one hub and I got (up til 3 years ago when we divorced and remarried) was emotionally and/or psychologically abusive to me. Finally, when I moved to TN, I found a psychiatrist - Only bc I did try suicide and the hospital sent me to the community psych hospital which set me up with psychiatric appointments upon discharge.

Those were the reasons that I began having psychological problems and was finally siagnosed.

Year's later, I wound up with a home health care nurse through my job due to how bad my problems gotten. After a couple years, she advised I apply for disability. I wound up in the Salvation Army while applying for 6 months - but then I got on disability, but like I said .. I was still going through abuse even then for another 9 years, plus my income went from a bit over $2k/mo to a bit over $800/mo.

So .. how exactly is that "luxury"?
