Neighbors can indeed be the bane of existence, Sinking. One of mine decided she hated me because I wasn't willing to feed all the neighborhood feral cats out of my backyard. I like birds, what can I say? Also dislike having cat food around.
It's so good to see what you're doing for yourself and how you're trying. We all need encouragement, but in the end we have to do it for ourselves, it seems.
All the best!! ((((HUGS))))
