is not an accusation. It is a request for a wellness check by those trained to assess such situations. As for your direct interactions with her, keep them brief, calm, and non-engaging. If she accuses, do not defend or debate.

A simple, “I’m sorry you feel that way,” followed by disengagement, is sufficient. You are not required to stand trial in your own yard. Avoidance, while understandable, should not be your only strategy. Think instead in

terms of controlled contact. Polite, limited, and never drawn into confrontation. There is also a practical consideration. If emergency services are being called unnecessarily, you may wish to inform the local fire department, not as a complaint, but as context. They often keep notes on repeat calls and can adjust their response accordingly. This is one of those situations where kindness does not mean closeness. It means ensuring that the right people are aware, while maintaining your own boundaries. You are not abandoning her by stepping back. You are recognizing that what she needs is beyond what a neighbor can reasonably provide. And that recognition, uncomfortable as it may be, is a form of care in itself. — Respectfully, Olivia Montclair
