[QUOTE="Feeling Sad, post: 668236, member: 19245"] I just had a major scare. My son installed an alarm system. When he comes home, the alarm beeps a few times as he enters the house. I cannot see the front door from the family room. I always call out, "Hello" and he always answers. Just a few minutes ago, the alarm started to beep and I called out...and no answer. I now realize that I don't really have a good game plan in place. I had left my mace in my bedroom. I didn't want to run out back, or the front, because I did not know if someone was there. I slowly opened my ill son's room. I was petrified. What if he had been there? It was stupid of me. I just miss him so much. I guess that I miss him more than I am afraid of him. Or I don't completely accept that I should be afraid of him, but many therapists have told me that he could kill me. Soon after, I hear my phone going off with a text. My youngest son texted me to say if I had heard beeps, to not worry. He was trying something remotely with his phone on the alarm system. I told him to please text me before next time. I do not want him to know how scared I was. I do not want him to worry any more than he already is. But, I now realize, I need a better game plan. The police weren't contacted because it was not a true break-in. Where should I run? Maybe several containers of mace, one in each room. I have heard wasp spray is better and shoots further. Okay, now I am crying because I am talking about hurting my son. Typo on last post...My second husband, not 'himself' and I, not 'he', soon realized that he lacked empathy. He never realized it. That was the problem. SWOT, I forgot to answer. I do have a good therapist, for now. Also, I do go to a support group. Both are extremely helpful. Take care. [/QUOTE]
