    Welcome back, Feelers. We’re going on a desert trek through the teen years when Meghan gets shipped off to bad-kid camp and Julie contemplates sending her little children to a scared-straight program before it’s too late. Tuck in while we get after teen topics, ABC Afterschool Special-style. It could get awkward.

Meghan has been my neighbor for over ten years, and I've slowly watched her mental health deteriorate.

She talks openly about me in her podcasts, and I'd like to set the story straight. The harassment towards my family began after I asked BOTH of them to stop urinating up against my chain link fence where I could see them from my back door. Every time I'd let my dog out in the evening, I'd see them with their pants down, and it was getting to the point my little boy wouldn't go outside to play. What parent wouldn't say something about this disgusting drunken behavior? Their drunken nightly arguments till the early morning hours were stressful enough.

After this confrontation, she tried to bully us into putting up a fence which we refused to do because we were not the ones getting drunk and urinating in our yard like dogs. Now when my family is having fun in OUR yard she'll make a scene because she seems to think we're invading her private space even though we are in our yard, talk about controlling toxic behavior. She'll call the police if we have a movie night on our patio. She has thrown death threats at me numerous times and told me to go back to my country (I'm Scottish) in front of friends who painted our house. To this day, she continues to sit out in her backyard, getting drunk, calling my family nasty names, and slandering us. When we confront her about it and ask her to stop because we can hear what she is saying she'll take an AXE to the fence, yes, an AXE! screaming and yelling and acting so psychotic that it makes our son cry out of fear. Thankfully the police caught her in the act, hence why her lawyer can't do anything cause he's only hearing one side of the story and I have all of this on video. I also have a police report on her drunken violent behavior.

She thinks we have a mental illness/personality disorder when in reality it's a reflection of herself. As I said, I've watched her drinking and gas lighting spiral out of control, especially after she had her baby. She's admitted to me numerous times in the past that she feels like she needs help/locked up. She can't hold down a job, she resents her son so much that she smoked, and drank heavily throughout her pregnancy cause she didn't want to be pregnant. She does nothing but argue with her husband and criticizes him for everything when he works his ass off so she can be a stay-at-home mother and drink all day which she calls slavery. She thinks I harass my neighbors which I don't. I asked my neighbor to clean his dog kennels cause the smell from them in the summer was a bit ripe, the barking was getting out of control when he started breeding and I was worried after a couple of his puppies died after getting trapped under his fence. Anyway, they dealt with it, and we continue to hang out, share meals and our kids play together, there are zero grudges because we are HEALTHY adults who respect one another! I've been a successful self-employed writer for nearly two decades and my partner works in a very respectable managerial role for the State. She's resentful of our healthy, happy family life and she's made us her target as addicts do. I hope she can find some happiness in herself and get sober one day. She should be grateful for what she has and should put this super toxic emotional vampire behavior to rest.

Awful, Toxic, Gossiping Trash.
