Yes people are really out for what they can get.
They may need their drugs or just don't like working.

Gosh here it is at 3 am and not slept a wink.

People are nuts! When my house was robbed, the police think it was for drug money.

There are so many drug users in my city it is scary. For example, my best friend had to turn her mom and step-father into the police for using drugs. She was only 12.

That's nuts!!! ^ Everyday we have 911 reports of violence. I don't know about your area but Kitsap County in Washington is going downhill.

Well I live in lower New Brunswick and yeah it is going down hill. I had to turn my parents in for abuse. Worse....the social workers didn't do anything about it.

allieisme my hubby and i were robbed at knife point outside of a bakery. my hubby was beaten alittle and stabbed. they didn't lay a hand on me because i was very pregnant. it all happened within about five minutes. i still feel the feelings i felt then. i have panic attacks when kids group together and hang out (we were rolled by a group of teens). i have never let my teens hang out. some things are just imprinted on us.
i'm so glad that God gives us safety.

Hi everyone, particluarly Allie and Kathleen.

I am a kindred soul too.

I've written on CF before of my ordeal. I definately have PTSD and the more I actively try to "gewt over it" the more it surfaces. In fact writing this email will have negative consequences for me (probably a few nightmares).

I don't have the answers, but I blame society in general for the decline in moral values that allows people to get away with crimes, virtually unpunished.

My situation (in brief): This sexual perv sought me out probably because I was an obvious single mom. He watched me through the windows until one night I made it too easy for him by falling asleep with the door unsecure. I woke up to him masterbating a foot or so from me and my four-year-old. I jumped up and was relatively sucessful in fighting him off of me. Then, when he was ready (I think about 10-13 minutes) he left.

Not a day that I don't live in fear. I fear his prison release-- that he'll hunt me down. Any night alone is a night of restless sleep and anxiety.

Hi everyone. Well I'm back... about 15 hours later or so and its the middle of the night (2:57 am) and I'm suffering the consequences of having written about my attack earlier today. I'm up for the fourth time tonight. The internal shaking has started and the paranoia set in when the outside sprinklers kicked on. I'm sitting in my study, crying as softly as I can for fear of waking up my daughter or boyfriend (who sleeps permanently on the couch because I insist daughter sleeps with me since I can't handle having her more than an arms-reach away as we sleep).

It's times like these that I do wonder why God lets this happen to me. I try to rationalize-- it could have been worse... I could have been raped. We could have been killed. I try to "Put on the full armour of God" but its times like these I feel stripped of my ability to think or act rationally.

As of today, it's been three years, 10 months exactly.

Some interesting experiences in this thread. The members who read this thread let this be a lesson to you. The only person responsible for your safety is you. Each person must take responsibility for their own safety. Each member on this board should own a firearm, learn how to use it, and have the will to use it. If the wolf comes knocking on the door you will prepared for him.
