Neighbors have been stalking me for 3 years

[Lizgal]

So I'd just like to say since getting help initially I was place in
Mental health and find it difficult to get help.
I have been abused on multiple occasions by my neighbours and I haven't told anyone about the details of the abuse.
I have a good circle of friends and family who are supportive but I don't share the details of the assaults with them.
I've fallen pregnant recently due to the daily assaults and am unsure what I am going to do.
I am planning to stay at a womens shelter to escape the stalking and assaults. I have no idea what to do though so that is what I am figuring out at the moment.
I am dealing with ptsd after all the horrific assaults and noise harassment where they play videos of the assaults on loud speaker at all hours of the night.
I was recently made aware the cause was because I had been slamming the back door but figure that that was a ridiculous reason.

Hi Lizgal and thank you for reaching out for support.

I'm not sure how to reply but just couldn't leave without showing you someone was reading and cares. My goodness your situation sounds terrifying even to read and I'm very worried for you.

You said you're pregnant and I'm understanding from reading your post that you're being sexually assaulted by your neighbours. Have I got this wrong?

Have you called the police? I'm not sure how it works but I'm hoping they would know where you can go to be safe immediately.

I hope you feel able to return and talk when you are physically safe.

Hi Lizgal,

We are so sorry to hear about what you are going through. It sounds like it would be so frightening to live like this everyday. Being assaulted is not something that you should have to put up with and you have a right to feel safe in your own home. Despite the difficult circumstances that you are going through, it is great that you are reaching out here for support.

We are worried about your safety at the moment, so we have checked in with you via email. We’d really appreciate it if you could reply to this email. Our community will be here to listen and talk you through this difficult time, so we hope that you keep checking in to let us know how you’re going, whenever you feel up to it.

When I was first assaulted I contacted the police but was then placed in a mental ward. The doctor questioned me about something that had happened.. Then stated it doesn't happen and why would anyone do such a thing.
I will stay elsewhere for a few nights. I just don't know what to do or how to go about it.

Hi Lizgal,

Thank you so much for coming back to let us know how you're coping. I'm sorry I haven't replied till now (haven't been very well so I'm taking a bit of a break from being online). I'll ask for help from other community volunteers so someone is checking in. I hope you can keep reaching out here and my slow reply hasn't put you off.

The response (utterly useless!) from the police and doctor is so upsetting to hear. I felt so angry reading how the doctor was so dismissive. Does this mean you're back at home? Have the neighbours approached you again?

You mentioned not knowing what to do and although this situation is beyond what I know... my first thought was of contacting Relationships Australia. Have you heard of them? I know they help people experiencing domestic violence and hoped perhaps they can help you access local services.

I hope you and your baby are safe.

Have you considered calling help line or crisis care or seeing counsellor for this situation. I'm not sure if you still near Neighbours but also moving away and finding different accommodations.
