I feel bullied into a corner

Roswell

One neighbour I have rushes inside, gives me a surly look and slams the door very loudly when he sees me coming home.

Another neighbour who lives downstairs shouts at the other people who live in his home and slams doors more and bangs things more when I practice my acoustic guitar.

I don't feel free. I live in housing association housing and am here as my father didn't want me with him and my mum.

I'm not sure whether to try moving into private rented accomodation or stick it out here and try to find a swap to another housing association property - this can be done on HomeSwapper where I'm listed on. I've been on the site for 2 years and saw a couple of flats I liked in this town listed for exchange on there but the others were not interested.

Or could I perhaps live in a motorhome.

I don't know, I just want to feel I'm not constantly kowtowing to what bullying neighbours who are bigger and tougher than me want.

  • Looks like I should look for private accomodation. I just feel so depressed. I might have to spend more money if I want somewhere private that's decent, as I'm aware there are rubbish places on the private market too. I had a girlfriend in this town who lived in one of the cheap rented places and she had a neighbour there who shouted and screamed at her daughter every day.

    Didn't think I would find myself in my early thirties feeling so scared financially and for my future.

    Private rent also comes with issues. We're in a place that looked quiet and a nice neighbourhood. Unfortunately it's not, theres alot of drug a activity, nightmare neighbours, bullying etc
