Where to go, what to do.

I was diagnosed with PTSD 10 years ago after 3 sexual assaults(all by strangers, not dates gone wrong), a hateful adoptive mother that made my life hell and 7 MVA none were my fault and the last was deliberate action by the other driver.

I am currently living in public housing in a rural area. I have no family as I was an only child and my parents are long dead. I never married. There are 2 violent alcoholic males here. I have an AVO in place against one and have an application hearing against the other one in 3 days time. I had been functioning reasonably well until this pair of idiots started up. The one I already have the AVO against even made threats in front of the magistrate and the order isn't a week old yet and I've breached him already.

I am finding it hard to sleep because one or the other of them could come flying through my window at any time plus the pair of them continually brawl, often outside my bedroom window. I have nowhere else to go, housing denied my application for transfer. The one I have the AVO against lives in the flat next-door. He often chucks 2 y/o tanties in his flat at all hours and wakes me out of sleep often in a panic attack. There are basically only minimal health services here and I don't have any money to pay for any. I also have various physical problems as well. Complaints fall on deaf ears.

Hi Geoff, Internet here is flaky at best. The $4000 damage was done by housing's gardeners yet again. I don't live in Victoria, I'm in a small town on the nthn tablelands of nsw. One of the idiots broke the AVO Mon by being within20 m after consuming alcohol, speaking to me, and making threats. Unfortunately we didn't have any police as it apparently took our whole force to deal with a 16 y/o who killed himself (sympathy to his family) and an 18 y/o arrested for lighting numerous grass fires. I have video with sound. Just so sick of having to deal with his behaviour.
