Single mum to a 5yr old. My sons father is violent and a little bit crazy.
Tonight someone starts knocking my door at 11pm, quietly at first. I feel a bit uneasy, no one EVER knocks my door at this time of night. I look through my spy hole and it's pitch black, go to the window and can't see anything but then the knocking turns into hammering loudly on the door! I arm myself (rather not say with what but household object) and ask who it is and a womans voice replies but already I'm thinking she might not be alone. I ease the door open slightly and it's some pissed up young woman asking for Neil, I told her 'I don't know any Neil and you've just woke up my 5yr old son so well fucking done you' ... she mutters an apology and stumbles off.
Anyway, to my point, what kind of security, if any, do you all have? Single mums do you feel like you need extra security? I've always felt mine adequate but when she started hammering loudly tonight I have to admit I started shaking thinking it could be my ex! I have a standard lock and security light (that obviously I'd switched off somehow) but I'm now questioning if I need something more?
