What can I do, I’m being persecuted by a nun?
I’m 65, disabled and not Catholic. I just moved into a senior center which is run by nuns. This is a wonderful place and I’m most grateful to be here after being robbed of everything I own by my children. One of the residents is running to the head nun and reporting I’m doing wrongs continually. I am not doing wrong. She has made others miserable with her controlling and abusive behavior and is hated. The head nun listens to her and immediately calls me and royally chews me out over petty and insignificant things. I’ve been sick all weekend because my blood pressure is way up and my diabetes has gone off the chart. This due to emotional stress. I’ve been here since the 22nd of May and I’ve been chewed out 7 times. Mostly because I’ve been weeding the extensive gardens. Others, including the groundsmen are happy I’m helping. I’m in hog heaven because I haven’t been able to garden for over 5 years. I’m not Catholic and I refuse to submit to what I consider Catholic tyrany. This is HUD housing and I am considering making a harassment complaint to HUD but only want to do that as a last resort. I’m a very independent thinker and I hate being controlled. I would never have been in this spot if it weren’t for my children taking advantage of my incapacity. I won’t put up with this harassment but I want to handle it very carefully and appropriately. Suggestions?
I don’t know if the nun is so hated but the little troublemaker resident who wants to control others is the one who tattles to the nun and she is hated. Her IQ is fairly low, but her sneakiness is very high.
I’m probably a "dudette"!
This is independent senior living. I am slowly losing the use of my right arm. I am only 65 and there is still a bit of tread left. What I am doing is much appreciated by other residents and the groundsmen who have given me a key to the sprinklers and access to the garden shed. Lastly, my mind is still honed and sharp and my post graduate legal training is still helping me. I am suing my own children for repleven with out an attorney. The public attornies are coaching me how to use the law library. I am easy to get along with, very tolerant and kind and generous. But I am also the last person you ever want to piss off. You don’t want to pick a fight with me. I usually win, if I don’t, it is at the least a draw.

threaten to sue or go over their heads to HUD. the very thought that you might have the cajones to stand up for your rights should put them on notice. you may be in an assited living situation, but all renters have rights and it smells like yours are being violated (the right to privacy, the right to quiet enjoyment,…)
