I feel so stupid for not looking into it before moving in. My neighbor who lives in the other half of my duplex was arrested for attempted rape years ago, and has multiple domestic assault charges, one of which is less than a year old. I'm a sexual assault victim. Just hearing his voice through the wall that separates our homes is so distressing. I'm already a light sleeper, but his voice has literally started waking me from sleep and throwing me into flashbacks of my assaulter sneaking into my bedroom at night.

He stands on his porch at night smoking and staring at me when I walk past with my dog. I always assumed he was just a weird old man. Now I can't help but wonder how many times he just never got caught, and how often he thinks of doing it again. I want to call my property manager and cuss them out for not disclosing that information, despite for whatever reason not being legally obligated to. I've spent the last few days since I found out avoiding my own home. This is fucking miserable.
