Hello Jess and how are you today?, ok,forgive me for sounding old fashioned.
I am putting on my legal hat.
Regarding your neighbour, you need just 2 things from her.
For her to park her car with CONSIDERATION for others.
And the second is to leave yourself, and your family alone.
Those 2 things would make a grate improvement to your quality of life.
Just remember, if she is taken to court, you will probably be called to give evidence, and have to take an oath, you will be expected to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.should it reach crown court not only will you have to take an oath but it is highly likely that you will be cross examined by council for the defence, and believe me, anything they can find to rake up they will, and they will probably target Dobby for barking, or her claim of your house causing her damp, the defence will clutch at anything they possibly can to make there client look good, and you look bad.
Our legal system is adversarial, that’s just the way it is, so be careful what you wish for and be prepared for what might happen, I am just for warning you of what may come, harassment is both a very series offence and a very series allegation, and I am sorry to say THE BURDEN OF PROOF LIES WITH THE PLAINTIFF, the plaintiff is yourself.
Make sure the events of the past 48 hours have been properly recorded, and I recommend you write down EVERTHING properly in detail, it is the best prepared case that wins, and contrary to what most people think, some 95% of legal work takes place out of court.
If I were representing you my advise would be to ask the police to issue an injunction against your neighbor requiring her to park her car in a considerate manner so it does not cause obstruction, inconvenience or distress, either to yourself or any one else, and also prevent her from causing harassment to you, members of your family, or friends of your self or your family, what so ever, ware so ever, how so ever, or when so ever, in any shape or form.
In other words, she will have to comprehensively leave and your family alone, and if she does not she is potentially facing a spell as guest of his majesty.
That is my legal advise to you on the matter, and I do have some knowledge of the law, you will find it quite an ordeal having to give evidence in court, and council for the defence would love to either make you loose your temper, or brake you, and so diminish your standing in the eyes of a jury, that might destroy you in your present state of mind, I strongly advise you not to take that road for among other things the sake of your health.
In view of the ‘broad side’ you gave her last night(I am being your friend know NOT your legal adviser) in my experience it is highly unlikely she will ever bother you again, but ask for the injunction anyway just to ‘stay her hand’ in the future, and nip this in the bud so it does not come back to you.
I am very sorry, we all miss our mums and there is nothing I can do for you about that, perhaps find a medium who does channelling, I know she cannot give you a hug, but hearing her voice is certainly the next best thing and we all long for yesterday, much wisdom in the Beatles song ‘yesterday came suddenly’ they understood the grittiness of life for ordinary people as it is in any grate city, loss is a cross we all have to bear sooner or later, and it is a permanent, and sometimes almost unbearable change that non of us wanted.
Blessings to you, take care, and I hope that person who would be sacred in a certain country leaves you alone.
