I spoke to the property management today, and I feel bad, but I also feel like if I had remained silent, this nonsense will just continue and escalate, as it has been.

I am not someone who wants to cause anyone any trouble or problems. Genuinely, I want everyone to live their life their way, with peace, love, and happiness. Nor would I want someone to experience a housing crisis - that would be awful.

But I cannot escape the fact that my neighbor is partly responsible for what is transpiring. No one deserves to be abused, and generally, I do not blame her for when one of her many partners acts out in aggression, but it is that whole idea of many partners or roommates that is likely trigging circumstances. My other neighbors, after all, have relationships, and they not all ending up violent and disrupting the harmony of the neighborhood.

I do not know my neighbor's name or the people she associates with, but I have overheard more than a few broken hearts, at maximum volume between the hours of 12:00 AM (midnight) and 3:00 AM. And so, whether I wish it or not, I do know some of her story.

While lately most of these events have been after sunset and before sunrise, not all of them have. -- I know what my neighbor looks like naked without ever being involved with her, because she has no shame, and has exposed herself during the day.

I recall once, her and some guy coming out with nothing but a towel, as she tried to claim the guy with her was her only boyfriend, and that the heartbroken guy outside was some kind of creep. I felt bad for that guy, because I knew she was involved with him. But that was not the only time I have seen her completely exposed. Nor was it the only time, some man or women, freaked out in away that everyone could see and hear.

Recent events have only escalated, and now people are using cars as a form of expression. Watching someone's car drive in and out of their drive, onto the sidewalk, into the yard, and into my driveway accords the street, really caused me to raise an eyebrow. This past Saturday into early Sunday (Mother's Day), some guy was beating on a poor woman, who was trying to get into or out of a car, and then everyone kept playing car swap as they kept leaving and coming back, minutes apart. I was surprised no one had run anyone over.

This woman is mother too. There has been the debate on whether we should call child family services. For now, we have held off on that, and I hope this serves as a wake-up call. I hope this woman looks at her life and rethinks her choices (or lack of). She needs to either stay single and focus on being a mom, or she needs to pick one person, and stop "monkey branching" between many. Her days of parting and brining people home from the bar or club, or finding multiple random people on tinder, should be over.

However she does it, the chaos needs to end. Because her choices are why these things are happening more frequently and are escalating. If she cannot see or understand that, I hope someone in her family convinces her to get therapy.
