Hi All, I am usually a happy character, but in the last few days I feel so overwhelmed. I have been tested again and again. My fiance Rod and myself have been together for 11 years and in that 11 years we have had to struggle so much. We have lived in flats that have had mice damp cold and really noisy neighbours, 5 lots of building work day and night in one flat, it just got worse and worse everywhere we have lived. Either neighbour problems, abusive neighours etc. We have been so shattered with everything, and havent really even got the money or the strenght to get married, how sad is that! I got a house exchange from a place which was really bad, the neighbouir tried to ruin our lives and we lived with next to nothing in the house becuase we felt it wasnt like home. Now we are getting problems in this new house. Because its a housing assoction property it isnt ouir own and therefore I have to look on the internet for a suitable exchange. We have ttavelled everywhere all over the uk for a house exchange, its terrible really. The house we are in now was ok at first and there is a large fmaily next door and they do nothing at night but play in their gardne with a hard football, I see lots of trouble and its such a shame because I am ready to make a home for myself. I dont know how much I can take. I have a mental illness, I know pwople take advantage sometimes because i am soft natured. I feel a complete idiot. I have always been fiathful to god and talk to god, but I just wish I could get peace somewhere on earth and not have any more neighbour issues. It seems we are always on our own I know that, and my fiance is going to have a word with the woman next door and tell her this football thing is getting on our nerves, just awful when there are loads of lads at least 7 sometimes in her garden. I feel quiet weak.Amen

Hey! I think that your soft nature is a gift from God. I do believe that there are times when you do need to stand up and say "that's not right", but I do think you should always hold on to that soft nature of yours. I'll be sure to keep you in my prayers. Have a nice day! :D

Hi All, Today we went to our neighbour and in a calm manner explained that our flowers and trees were damaged. I started to cry becasue my fiance had just pulled out a lovely sun flower that was getting quite tall, becasue he said he didint want the football to hit it. I was heart broken. I started to cry in front of my neighbour, and she put her arm around me, which surprised me. I know its a really big issue for the youths to stop playing football and hurting oiur trees and I expect them to start again. Today they havent played so it proves they can behave themselves. I pray that they find a area they can play. There is a massive gren just 2 mins away they can play on, i hope they go there instead. Amen I dont want any bad feeling between us and our neighbours. Please pray this happens, as I do actually have respect for them alot. I pray my neighbour sees the light, and I hope she feels so can talk to me.God intervene please.

I'm happy that you had the courage to go over to your neighbors and talk to them about this. I'll continue to keep you in my prayers.
