constant anti social behaviour directed at family

LegacyUser

Neighbours are just vile awful people, let their feral kids harass us constantly, it's just me, my elderly parents and my disabled brother (3 generations of the one family have hurled abuse at him, for what, he literally doesn't know the concept of hatred, he couldnt hold a grudge or will will towards anyone if he wanted to), I was assaulted by one of them a few months ago, the anxiety I feel since then makes me sick to my stomach, I'm afraid all the time. I pray for cancer or some other terminal illness, I want to kill myself all the time, just go over to the canal, open up my wrists and let myself fall in. The abuse and harassment has been constant for months, and that's with school and bad weather, now the school year is almost over and it's the summer I don't think I'll survive. I was at my brothers house earlier, and his neighbours were so nice, I couldnt, I broke down, why are people like this, we literally havent done anything to deserve this. The only thing stopping me doing it now is I know our neighbours will snigger and taunt my parents over it, I think horrible thoughts that I can't write down, I don't even know if this will be ok to publish, I've been unemployed for a while, almost at the end of a qualification that I now realise will not get me a job as I have no experience or references, and even if I was to get a job I cant move away and leave my parents and younger brother there alone, god why us. They're outside our house now, why us.

I’m really sorry to read this. It must be so difficult to cope with. Have you contacted the Gardaí?
