I feel safe at home especially in my bed, does everyone feel safe at home?😍

Yes, insofar as it’s possible to feel safe anywhere these days. We live in a modern house with good outdoor lighting, door and window locks, and CCTV. Failing all that, we’re never home without our two (large) dogs, who I’m confident would protect us from any intruders.

I don't, sadly.
I wish I did but I don't due to my past trauma and where I live now is supposedly 'supported accommodation', but staff manipulate, lie and emotionally abuse and then there is the inappropriate male staff that unlock bedroom doors and ask me out on dates.
I'm utilising a women's charity to move to new housing, but it is all very underhand and uncertain.

Yes. But I've never been burgled so that's probably why. I've always mostly lived alone.

During the day I feel safe, at night I have to put the alarm on to be able to sleep and still feel a bit uneasy, I’ve been broken into before in the night and while I’ve moved from that house I still feel on edge at night

Yes I feel safe at home, even when I'm on my own. I live in a new build estate so lots of people around.

I can’t decide if this is a strange question 😅 what do you actually want to know lol?!

Yes I feel safe at home.
