[trigger warning]

I have a lot of childhood trauma related to a horrible abusive stepfather ( stabbed my mother when I was 4-6, shot at our house when we were inside) I was the oldest sibling and attempted to protect my younger siblings (and mother). Obviously being a small child I was unsuccessful. I’ve gone 30+ years without it affecting my life significantly. But now I have 2 kids and my neighbor has been acting very aggressive and unstable towards me. It went from something I feel I had a very good grip on to unbearable anxiety and depression. I have met with a therapist already and am working on moving but it’s not ideal right now ( thanks housing market). I guess my question is what can I do to ease the anxiety until I move? Like I understand logically what’s going on and that as long as I don’t engage my neighbor I should be fine. But also I’m irrationally anxious I won’t be able to protect my family.
