So yesterday was difficult. We have a co-joined basement. The basements are separate but there is a large opening so all of the pipes and utilities can run next door for her. We are in either our basement or her basement several times a day. We keep supplies for our business downstairs, as well as extra food supplies, the cat pan, etc. So we make frequent basement trips throughout the day. When we’re down there we can pretty much hear everything she says. It’s not a finished basement, we don’t hang out there by any means but I do spend some time down there every day. Yesterday we overheard her talking to someone. Oh my God the things she was saying. Please keep in mind up until a few weeks ago I considered this woman a friend, and I was extremely concerned for her well-being. Most of what she said was outright lies, but some more exaggerations. One could consider them slander, except our lawyer says slander is only a thing when you lose money from somebody else speaking and love you. She is just spreading malicious gossip and lies. My husband and I have been blessed enough to run a successful online business the last few years so we work from home. He also works outside of the house. His outside job provides us insurance, etc. I handle every single inside chore and responsibility. And then we work on the online side hustle which has turned out to be more lucrative than his full-time job! She accused us both being extremely lazy and that we don’t do anything all day. (We typically work seven days a week at this. Often put in a combined 12 hours a day. )That our side hustle is illegal. (Selling on eBay) That the packages and supplies that go in an out for the side hustle have to either be illegal goods or worse! She said we don’t work enough to support our children – which could not be further from the truth! We both work hard every day, and my husband is sometimes a literally exhausted. Yesterday he worked six hours, physical labor, no break. He came home to rest before he went out to shovel snow. She was complaining that her walkway was not done yet. She said so many other things. We got a true taste of her personality and a lot of things makes sense now. I have never known a 76-year-old woman to be so vindictive and spiteful and calculating. I haven’t dealt with someone this malicious I don’t think since high school! It’s utterly exhausting. And it’s going to be a long summer before we can get her out-
