Yesterday was a hard day because of two things. One was news from a friend, the other the neighbors causing me to now feel unsafe in my own yard. Let's start with that.
I come home from my hair appointment to find the neighbors have gardeners working in their yard. I could see they were doing some trimming of the trees and foliage. I asked him to please be careful and not trim too much and not go over the property line. He acted like he understood. An hour or so later, I go outside and there is now NOTHING between our two yards. The worst part is they chopped down the other side so there is nothing between us and the fucking street. You can be walking down the street or driving by and see directly into our yard. I don't like that. There is absolutely zero privacy now. Nothing. We are fully exposed to the world. Anything in our backyard, anything we're doing is on full public display. I was so pissed off. I yelled at the gardener and their response "It will grow back", yeah in like 5 fucking years. I need out of here. I can't live around these fucking people any more. I filed a second complaint with HHS about them. They have medical patients in their care who now have ZERO protection if they go out in the yard. Plus they can now stare directly into our yard. I am tempted to put up a sign on my side of the property that says FUCK YOU. Fuck these people.
The other news was much bigger and puts my little yard issue into a much different context. The other day I invited my friend over to meet the doglet. She told me she'd love to but was dealing with an "incident" regarding her daughter. The use of that word set off alarm bells in my head. Pregnant? Drugs? Her daughter is 14. I didn't pry though. I respected her space and privacy. Yesterday when I went in to see her for my hair I was honest and said I don't want to pry but it's driving me nuts not to pry. She then broke down in tears and started losing it. The first thing she said was it was nice to not have to pretend everything is okay for the first time in weeks. Girl.
The "incident" started when the daughter came out of the shower and mom noticed a hickey on her neck. Thinking young teenage fun, she was like yo, what's that hee hee. Well the daughter freaked out and the WHOLE story came out. Turns out she has been seeing this MAN for months. She has been with a pedophile and sexual predator. They met online in January and for at least 6 months been meeting up for sex. The daughter swears she hasn't had sex but. This guy was driving from Chicago, the daughter sneaking out the bedroom window, then they would go to another town over to get a motel room and have sex. At least once a week. Now they are involved in a multi-county, multi-city, MULTI-STATE situation. Who has jurisdiction of what is becoming a nightmare. He had full on nude pictures of her on his phone so the local main police were able to get him on child porn charges. Sadly he was out in 24 hours on a bond. He has missed one court date so far. She knows where he lives and his name. I told her just tell me what you want done. We will make it happen. She doesn't know yet but knows that I am serious. You don't get to sexually assualt a 14 year old who thinks she's in "love" and get away with it. I was all over the map with my emotions when she was telling me all this. I offered her whatever she needs, whenever she needs it.
Yeah, makes my foliage problem seem tame in comparison doesn't it?
