[quote=Anonymous]I love my neighborhood and, at one time, the neighbor who doesn’t like me. Her initial seeking me out as a friend was angsty and intense and too much but I gave her a place. We commiserated. I was insecure due to being left by my husband for a new girlfriend and she was insecure about all kinds of things: her looks, the yard, her decorations, her computer abilities. After she hurt herself while walking with me, everything changed. She informed me her son recommended she not speak to me, something so weird and unexpected at the time, it made me laugh. That didn’t have the effect I thought it might because she just doubled down. Since then I’ve been ostracized on this block. New neighbors are friendly with me until she starts forming connections with them. I imagine she helps them out by warning them about me, much like she did for me with other neighbors when we were friends. I feel uneasy talking with others around here because I don’t know if the waters are poisoned or not. But I’ve discovered her jurisdiction, her rules for exclusion, don’t apply everywhere. I’ve planted a few roots here and there and savor friendly neighbor interactions beyond the radius of her control. Living in this situation is hard but I love my home and I’ve learned to ignore it. It’s all you can do.[/quote]
