Much to my dismay, I happened to look outside my window and coincidentally I saw all the people that I wanted to meet with with my landlord to confront these bullies all walking to my landlords office. WOW !! They all stopped and faced my window and waved at me sitting in my recliner near the window. What in the world do I do now? I have such a sinking feeling about all this.

I don't have anyone to go with me to stand in my defense to support me. I worry that this may turn into a kangaroo court against me. I don't trust my landlord to be neutral now. If ever I felt suicidal is now and now I have no idea how I will react after a meeting where I will be further abused. I had hope for myself before I saw them all walking to my landlords office and their demonstration by waving at me on the way there.

I'm so sorry to hear this. I was bullied at both work and community for ten years when I moved here (they hated the fact that I had a job that they felt should have gone to a local and also hated that I did loads of volunteer work, The other volunteers were amazing people though which helped). I finally escaped here ten years ago and my life is so much better I was able to transfer from one voluntary Org to another and kept my job with them but here I know nobody and have chosen not to be involved with the community.

If you absolutely cannot get someone to attend the meeting with you I would suggest having a strategy like a list or notes or even a script and simply state your case and concentrate on your own self and then leave. If you cry, please do not worry about it as this is just a reflection of your own sensitivity and not a sign of weakness. It really does not matter how 'they' perceive you so long as you have the opportunity to state your points. Do some online research and use some legal jargon and as we say here 'kill them with kindness' and 'baffle them with bullshit'. I, for one will be right beside you in hear and spirit.

'heart' not 'hear'. my keyboard is acting up....

Hi Geraldine ~ I downloaded a program to copy out the text messages she sent to me, but in order to print them out, I have to buy the program, bummer. So, I have nothing to show quickly. That was two days ago that I send my landlord an email agreeing to meet with these people and she hasn't responded. So, I guess it was all lip service. I really don't trust her. She's one of the biggest bullies here.

I'm sorry that you experienced this too and even have a tale to tell. You must be soo relieved when you moved and regained your power back.

One by one my bullies that I mentioned in my email have been walking to the business office of my property management. My property manager did not say anything to them about interviewing them. I am afraid now what is going to happen. Wonder why she didn't let me know she would be interviewing them today.

it;s weird being bullied as a child & now by 2 neighbors at 61. i hope u get some resolution. i live on a small street & 2 of them try to intimidate me cos im alone, crippled & feel i have to avoid taking my Chihuahua past their property. one - my tiny dog peeded on his grass & he kept yelling at me to clean the pee off his lawn. i lost it one day & screamed at the other one, he was scared to get outta his car. it's hilarious now, but i found to stand my ground. keep ur head up, be strong & realize their only ego is in hurting those they think are weaker than them. prayers & hugs,

Hello reerose ~ Sorry this took soo long to reply. I'm very sorry to hear of your experience. You have every right to walk down your street with your dog. I'm happy to hear that you finally yelled back at one of your bullies and this person will no longer bother you. Last week same thing happened to me. One of the bullies in my building not only was yelling at me but thrusting her walker in my face. So, I showed her my iphone that had been recording her all thru her ragging and when she realized what I was doing, she started raging while whispering in the hopes her nasty voice would not be taped, but it was all too late. I plan to take this to my property manager.

Like you, reerose, I am no longer taking it, I will shout back just as loud as they are shouting at me.
