Nice guys finish last in life.

Hi my names Chris. I have lived with my parents and am nearly 30 sad right? I’ve lived in the same house for said years and my perants have longer. We live a normal life dont talk to anyone, dont get Involved. until 5 years ago a man moved in next door and ripped my life apart. Started off slow loud music from early hours to late at night, always within the time frame aload. The music was so loud the beat use to move the and break the glass in our kitchen cabinets so you can see what it did to us. I worked a lot and so did my dad. But my disable mum is almost home bound. The other side neighboir her husband died of cancer and wanted to die in his own house. His wife couldn’t hear his last words because of the music. When he died she turned quite nasty and pointed fingers at us. When my neighbour got married we thought he’d calm down but it only escalated they placed a skip out side our house we live in a row if cottages so we couldnt park anywhere. But apperanlty that’s our fault. He has CCTV all over his property and in 30 years never had any trouble, hes been burgled over 5 times. That was our fault, her car got scratched because that was our fault, I paid some thugs to scratch it again where she works again our fault. CCTV picked up nothing he even accused us of all this before looking at CCTV (“gut feeling” he said) we havent done anything that our neighbours have said they where just lies. We tried to be friendly even helped him do work on his house. Paid him to build us a gate. But for what ever reason we was wrong. Police? Not interested we have no case hes within his right to do so. I’ve known him to right off at least 3 to 4 cars, and fired for stealing multiple times according to his now ex/not so ex wife. One day the day we had to leave our house, he assaulted my mum grabbed her by the throat and pushed to the ground she was badly brushed and another neighbour had to restrain him. Police where involved no one wanted to say what they witnessed “it didnt happen” “I didnt see anything” “I dont wont to get involved”. So we left our home of 30 years and moved into our grandmas other house. I was scared for my mum. She wakes up crying in the middle of the night and stopped eating for quite some time. My dad trys but he isnt strong like that. You’d probably think “if it was me I’d lay him out” me and my dad where not like that. Never been in a fight before, never thrown a punch before. So what do we do? We sell the house we move on. He cant hurt us now. Right? Wrong I was fallowed home numerous times by him. His wife would hurl abuse at me at work complain to management, ask staff where I live what am I doing. Thankfully at tescos they are so supportive I couldnt ask for more support. So coming up to Christmas we decided that we would donate our coal and wood to our friends for supporting us. We arrive to an empty garden. He had stolen not only our coal and logs which came up to £150 worth maybe more but our bins as well. Hes broken into our sheds as well. Not one neighbour in a row if coattages saw him do it. I confronted him he admitted it. Apperanlty other people where doing it to so he thought it was ok. Apperanlty we said it was ok. Answer for everything. We got CCTV put in. He went white with anger. Because we wasnt their he escalated to his wife from what we can tell now we dont know the full storey but police was called and alot of arguments between him and her over a child and with black eye she left. He regularly still sees the child. One one occasion we witnessed him put dog poo through our letter box. Poloce say “couldnt see him do it, could be a letter hes posting”. Frustrated we turned on each other our house now is a one bedroom I have slept a word I use loosely on a sofa for half a year. If you opened a dictionary and saw both doormat and tired you’ll see our names. Over worked and no sleep our lives where turned upside down. We argue alot about going back and fighting him or staying where we are. During covid lockdown. He decided to smash our garden wall that had been their for 20 years he decided he wanted fencing. We thought yes got him finally our own back. Police where called criminal damage yes he will be fined and jailed. Finally some good news. A first response turned up 2 hours we waited while he drilled and destroyed our garden. Longest 2 hours ever. Apperanlty it’s on his land and hes decided that he wants to get his property in line with his boundary. He tried to ask us be didnt know where we lived. The police where awful to us called us time wasters where wrong. We showed them the deeds that show that they was wrong but they didnt listen he says hes right. We now have a gate in the middle of the wall/fence for access (tradesmen passage) he wanted it more inline but its isnt inline with anything. Police didn’t care she kept looking at her watch and didnt even read the previous reports or look at the deeds she just said get a solicitor if you feel that much.
Suicide has been thrown around a lot. Might wake people up to him? But he’d lie and we would get the blame then. My perants say it’s not my fight I should leave if am not happy. Am frightened that he’ll kill one of them or they’ll do it to themselves. Thankfully we dont live at the house anymore and where safe. My girlfriend of a few months was quite supportive but I get the feeling sometimes she doesnt care and just saying nice things to be nice. Bullied all my school life and now my adult life. Am I wrong? Do we carry on? Is their light at then end? I just wanted to tell this story so people know that we tried to be nice and we just couldnt fight it anymore.
