To put a long story short I’m living in their empty apartment they bought and renovated from scratch. They plan to retire in it eventually. The economy doesn’t let me move out.

The apartment has sound insulation issues. Not only that but the people living below me are literally evil and insane.

They hammer shit in the middle of the night and also imitate me. Like they always run the water when I take a shower, or they imitate my cats meowing or if I cough etc.

Whenever I mention any of this to my parents they gaslight me and tell me I’m insane and creating “imaginary problems that don’t exist”

They’ve even tried framing me multiple times and trying to make me into the scapegoat, complaining to management about the sounds they’re making and saying it’s me.

I’ve begged my parents to go to management about them cause they’re the owners of the apartment and they keep brushing me off.

I’m literally being psychologically tortured all day every single fucking day and all night.

I just don’t fucking understand how and why my own parents are so adamently trying to say I’m delusional and talking well about these people who are torturing me, just because those people are polite to my parents in the hallways.

    do you have an old cell phone? (or, don’t underestimate freecycle!) You could put it under your bed or something, so it’s closer to the sound, and leave it recording. Maybe turn up the mic’s sensitivity. Portable charge banks are helpful if you have one.

      Portable charge bank? What would that be for? I mean can’t I just plug the phone in if it’s indoors?

      My old cellphones have all been dropped so many times that I don’t think the recorders are working very well. The only phone that has a good mic is my current one.
