re: Next door neighbor horror stories

We moved into our current house almost 5 years ago. The lady that owned it before us lived here for 20+ years. One week after we moved in, the neighbor starts talking to my husband and tells him that one of our trees is a threat to his property and he may have to call the cops if we don't do something about it. Meanwhile, his house looks like it's abandoned. His wife is a shut-in and she lives in it full-time. He lives in his deceased father's house a few miles away, but he comes and stays with his wife a few days a week. He is also a raging alcoholic that looks like the the Loony Tunes version of Dr. Jekyl.



He's been arrested at least one for domestic violence and assaulting a cop. There was one time we got home from being out on the river and were backing the boat down the street and he's outside, barefoot with a bloody knee, with a grocery bag of clothes asking for a ride to his other house. His wife was pissed because it was 3pm, he was hammered and had been at a bar hitting on women. I told him to call a cab.

He also smokes and has heart problems, so I'd say there are emergency responders at his house every 8 - 12 weeks. We live at the end of a dead end street, so when they're here we're pretty much blocked in until they go. They always cart him off to the hospital and he's always back home the next day.

They've also cut ties with her adult kids from her previous marriage. Her kids will occaisonally call the cops to do a wellness check on her and sometimes they come to my door asking if I've seen her lately. She won't answer the door for anyone. She is incredibly nice, but weird AF. I think she'll leave with him occaisonally to go to the grocery store, but other than that she does not drive or go anywhere. It's a strange situation.
