I'm really sorry for all that you're going through. I've been there myself...more than once (sigh). Let me offer one attainable, practical solution that might bring you some peace: I once lived beneath loud neighbors. They partied at all hours and I worked odd hours, so I invested in one of those sound therapy machines. You can get one at any larger drug store or eBay for around $20-$25. I kid you not that it made a major difference until I could move elswhere. Mine has 10 settings with mixing capabilities, so you're not just stuck with simple White Noise. I've always had a problem with noise grating on my nerves (anxiety) so I still use the Stream mixed with Summer Night setting when the neighbors are mowing their yards, boys are watching a game really loud, or I just can't sleep. Good luck. I'll be sending good thoughts your way.
