Don't believe us

We live next door to the family from hell. Mother, four children and the invisible live in partner. We actually call him Spook (have you ever watched Spooks?). Obviously, he's high up there on MFI's list of top spies. Must be because as we call mum ASBO Lil has forgotten to mention to the council that Spook lives with her. Yes she's claiming every benefit going and 25% discount for living there on her own.

Do her landlords care? Not a jot. Yet every day there's more and more ASBO Lil's and Spooks making their neighbours lives a misery and the irony of it is that their neighbours are paying for it with their taxes.

Seems just a tad unfair at time.

This weeks escapades we will gloss over the continuing foul language - although if any script writers for "Shameless" see this entry I could give you enough stuff to write a couple of series just with what we hear being screached through the walls.

Friday - we had the brat from hell screaming at ASBO Lil "Get up yer fat git, I want to go to school." Say's it all when Junior ASBO wants to go to school doesn't it? Or perhaps carrying on the family tradition it had a new victim to bully and traumatise.

It would be funny if we didn't have to endure living next door to them.

Well ASBO Lil et al we will not be bullied or victimised, try cleaning your act up.
It's patently obvious you have no interest in your children. There again they served the purpose of getting you a council house one of very few in a privately owned street. It stops you going out to work because you've school age children to drag up via the gutter.

The sad fact is its self perpetuating. Very shortly her junior ASBO's will have Junior ASBO's of their own and the whole sad sorry mess will carry on.

Before you ask what we've done about it. I have 12 months of complaints to the council. They've been reported to the Police. The local Cllr managed 2 lines in an email passing it on. The MP is stepping down at the next election so is only interested in photo opportunities. Who else do we have to turn to? Central Government aren't interested as its a council problem.

ASBO Lil certainly isn't worth doing time over.

Its just very hard to stomach when you are honest and law abiding and you watch people like that trash their lives and try and take you down at the same time.

I'll leave you now with a Spook "ism" heard at 1.45am when they finally turned the tv off after the SuperBowl. "You've always got yer effing legs wide open, you're always effing too hot or you're always effing too cold" Substitute a 7 letter word beginning with f and ending in g for effing and you've got another day in the life of ASBO Lil.

Gee she has it bad.

I'm not your whipping boy!

The reason why I keep this blog totally anonymous is to give me a safe haven to express my fears, doubts, ravings etc etc.

Daddi Bear suffers from stress and depression. Its bad at the moment and guess who the whipping boy is - yup me. If you read all the literature that mental health groups put out they advise you to get support. What happens though when you haven't got anyone to support you? That's where this blog comes in I can pour out my feelings, feelings I can't share with anyone. That's a lie if my mum was still alive I could share how I feel with her.

I'm feeling down as well, missing my mum its 2 years since she died and it still hurts.

Okay that's enough downer for me. Time to give myself a pep talk, put the mask back on and rejoin normal life. Yikes I give an oscar winning performance every day.
