Do you think I am stupid to just accept them? It seems to give us something in common in her mind.
Mules,
This is where "advice-giving" gets dicey. My opinion of your neighbors hasn't changed: if it were ME, and anyone, or any THING were this big of a threat to my family, I would deal with it forcefully, and let the chips fall where they may. I would have moved in with parents or in-laws months ago, and put my house on the market, if that's what it took to get her the hell outta there.
