To ask you if you feel safe in your home?

I didn't when I was married to my ex but I do now I live alone.

Yes - we live in a cul de sac on a new build estate, have CCTV and outdoor lighting and great neighbours with similar set ups. House is alarmed and I can set the downstairs system when we are upstairs for the night.

Yes I generally do - we're mid terrace with no back access so a robber would have to come through several gardens to get in the back & I doubt they'd bother 😂 Front door is pretty solid heavy wood. DH worked away in the week when the children were small & I would occasionally get spooked with a noise in the night but generally I was fine. Having little children made me braver because I knew I'd take on anyone to protect them!

I do, but I have a dog (Staffordshire bull terrier) and I think hes the main reason to be honest.

I feel very safe in my flat, I have neighbours around and a small dog that would let me know if someone was trying to break in. He wouldn't do anything to them expect giving them a piece of his mind, but he's a good alarm.

I also have several fire alams + a co2 alarm. I had an asbetos survey that came back negative.

It's probably the most important thing to feel safe, in general and at home in particular. I feel for those who don't have that safety feeling.

Have you reported this to someone in authority?

This should not be happening.

Very thankfully yes I do. I know what it's like not to though. It's horrendous. Love going to all DV sufferers/survivors x

yes I feel safe.

I live in the middle of nowhere. Its properly dark. Its normally very quiet although i do hear the cows mooing.

I do have neighbours but we have big propertys / drives so not "easy" to get too.

We live in the sticks high on a hill, so I honestly think the people in the nearby villages who may be up to no good (which happens a lot), can't be bothered to climb the hill and walk all the way up here.

So yes I feel safe.

very, in a friendly area where we know a lot of neighbours, there’s a couple of primary schools and it’s terrace houses so we’re physically close to each other and there’s always people about even though it’s a quiet ish no through road.

Yes, I don't even lock the door when I am in even when upstairs. Do not have cameras or ring door bell

Yes.

What a horrible situation you're in, hope you find somewhere safer very soon.💕

Why do you ask?

Yes, quiet rural area, minimal neighbours open fields and very dark at night but yes, I feel safe.

New build, strong locks, postbox is outside so no one can post anything dodgy into my home. Yes, it's rhe best place :)

Yes, Im right on a busy road, with nice people in the neighbouring flats. I only really get spooked in the countryside, because its full of vampires and no-one can hear you scream.

I do in my house but didn’t in the house I grew up in - a field backed on to it and always felt like I was being watched.

So are you going to explain why you want to know? It's a very odd question to ask out of the blue.

Mostly because we have a ring doorbell and cctv in the garden, however, my ndn has a habit of inviting homeless men round to his to stay in exchange for working in his garden. I think most of them are fine, just looking for a place to sleep but they have been known to show up late and drunk, knocking on his door.

This is the vibe I got from this post strange loaded question 🤔

Do you want people's traumatic stories of not feeling safe in their own home? I feel very sorry for people who don't feel safe in their own home that must be a terrible way to live. I'm not sure why you want to hear all about it though?

Really safe, I’m in a little culdesac off the street so nobody ever passes my house. Plus I have a lot of lovely neighbours and most of them have Ring doorbells or other CCTV should I ever need to ask for it. I strangely feel safer in the house than when I lived in flats. The front door of a previous flat I lived in would never shut properly unless it was pulled to, so it meant people that didn’t live there could come in. This was in a “naice” town too! Once I came home and there was a guy sitting outside my flat door charging his phone - it really spooked me because we were upstairs and behind a fire door, and my bedroom was literally on the other side of the wall. I lived in two different flats after that and they were safe buildings but in flats there are just so many people coming and going and potentially walking past your door.

Mostly. Though sometimes it occurs to me that if someone really wanted to and didn't care about consequences, there's not much stopping someone from breaking in. I try not to think about that too often though.

Very safe. There's no way for anyone to access the back of the property and I have a factory opposite which operates 24 hours with CCTV and security guard.

Safety is the most important things to me. I could live in a mansion but it wouldn't be any good if I didn't feel safe.
