Downsizing: Our family update

Yes, you read it write we are moving, yes, we must be crazy, and no we don’t really want to but its just necessary. We moved here into this apt in July and now its almost December and we are moving out. This complex is terrible I will tell any and everyone I know not to move here. I knew moving into an apartment after being in a house for so long was going to be different but this is ridiculous!
I feel like a prisoner in my own home and sometimes I am scared to be in my own home. Things were good when we first moved in it was nice, we really had no neighbors and everything was good. Of course you know in August my van was almost stolen and the wonderful neighbors flooded my apartment was soon after. Now things have gone from bad to worse. There are currently at least eleven people living above me, yes I said eleven maybe more I have lost count. The office management don’t care. I get high almost everyday walking from my car to my door which is only like maybe 20 feet apart. Young teenagers smoking weed right in front of my door. I asked them move and not do that espically when my kids are right there. They are more the dysfunctional generation as I call them, no respect for anyone or anything. Yes I have contacted management and the police, they never come fast enough or when they do come the lil wanna be thugs take off running. Also the are always playing dice in front of people’s doors. Gambling leads to fighting, and this generation doesn’t fight with fists, they fight with guns and that’s dangerous for my family. I have tried to think of ways to manage to stay but I never feel safe and cant hardly sleep because I am worried about out safety. So we are breaking our lease and moving. We are moving into a much smaller HOUSE! We will have to place some stuff in storage but its ok for now. We are gonna save up and try to get a more permanent situation after the holidays. I am hoping this time next year we are planning to buy a house(hopefully in the country) so we can stop moving and be somewhere for good. And on a good note the new house is much closer to the kids school so that’s a great positive!
So if any of my great friends who are reading this wanna help, come on over Saturday morning and help us move!! LOL!
