Bear with me please as I think maybe I, m over reacting I dont know. In my bathroom upstairs I have white vinyl tiles on the floor and I am pretty anal about keeping them clean and the toilet. Once a day normally mid morning I clean and bleach the toilet then I wipe the floor with disinfectant wipes. Its just me and my son who is eleven.
In the last two days something weird has been happening in the bathroom please dont laugh as its scarying me. We always and visitors take shoes off downstairs never go upstairs in shoes. But for some reason there have been footprints and hairs on the bathroom floor, tiny curly black hairs. Its not from my son as he is not hairy and its not from me because I use hair remover and did this two weeks ago.
I get a gut feeling that somebody is doing this or maybe my mind is losing the plot. But I, m racking my brains as to a reasonable explaination. I know I must sound deranged but something is not right

How scary Sad OP you need to go to the police.

tinylttletrotters · 26/09/2014 13:15

Have you contacted the police yet OP ?

helpmekeepstrong · 26/09/2014 14:33

OP? Have you called the Police yet? Hope you are safe. Please call them if you haven't already, he sounds like a dangerous man and I understand that you don't want to rattle his cage or scare your poor boy, but I think you have to call them.

LilyTheSavage · 26/09/2014 17:23

fragile - I'm so sorry you're going through this and I've followed your thread. We haven't heard from you since yesterday evening.
Did you go to the police? Are you ok?

I have spoken with my DASH support worker today about this and am being supported. We are going away for the weekend and when I'm back certain security measures will be put into place. Thank you all for support. Hopefully this will all be sorted out soon so we can both feel safe once and for all

So glad to see your update OP - great to see that you're getting support in real life and that you're not going to be at home over the weekend. Hopefully you and your ds will get a chance to relax and recharge your batteries, ready to get home and use your support to get this nightmare stopped for once and all.

I'm glad OP.

Even before you go, you can put masking tape criss crossed over the loft hatch, and other possible entry points. At least you'll know if someone has entered and where. Or you'll know they haven't which may be a comfort.

Unless you are uncomfortable about showing your hand, that you know something is happening. I can't see at first hand what the downside could be, but you will have more insight.

Hope you had a good weekend Fragile and there were no further incidents while you were away.

ScrambledeggLDCcakeBOAK · 01/10/2014 19:00

Hi fragile I lost the thread but you and ds have been on my mind.

I hope things are sorted now.

I just wanted to say though about the windows a friends teenage nephew warned me about the safety catches.

He told me that I must close windows if I'm out as most teenagers (and criminals) have worked out how to unlock the catches if the windows are open at all (and therefor can gain access if they want) I'm not saying a lot would but keep you windows closed if you out the house even if they are on upper levels of your house.

ItIsntJustAPhase · 09/10/2014 20:12

This thread has been on my mind. Sad Hope all well OP.

ATruthUniversallyAcknowledged · 24/10/2014 05:50

Didn't see this thread the first time around but it sounds absolutely terrifiying.

OP, I really hope you and your son are safe and well now.

Blueandwhitelover · 30/12/2014 09:29

Mammanat222 · 20/01/2015 21:54

I'm another one who has only just read this thread and I am aghast. I cannot believe someone can get away with such long term harassment and mental torture.

I'd love the OP to come back and give us a more positive update.
