Paranoid about sexual abuse.

[Spaceboundeminem]

I am very paranoid someone will abuse my dc. This keeps me awake at nights scared someone will come and take my babies while they are asleep. In order to get a tiny modicum of sleep this is the sleeping arrangements in our house. Dp and DS in bunk beds in one room. Me Dd1 age 5 and dd2 age 3 October in a double bed.
I am pg so this sleeping arrangement will have to change drastically.
Any suggestions on how to tackle my fear?

Congratulations on your new addition.

I think you need to speak to someone professionally. Your worry is controlling you and making you act in an unreasonable way. Sorry I don't want to sound mean but I assume the sleeping arrangements are because you worry someone is going to enter the home at night?

Statistically the chances of you being broken in to and then that person being a sex offender are minute. I am sure you already know this. I think speaking to your local police support group so that your home is as secure as you can make it, combined with speaking to a professional about your worries should help you. It should also mean you and your DH can enjoy a comfortable night in the same bed. A chance to comfort each other etc, they say couples who go to bed together at the same time have stronger and longer relationships statistically.

It will also help to build your children's independence to sleep alone.
