Hate

The facts:
Step children came by the house on Thanksgiving. They tried to kick in my door. Door frame splintered.

The threats:
Kill my husband. Kill me. Kill my children.

The results:
Two restraining orders. A new door and frame. A ruined holiday.

The aftermath:
Feel like crap, can't think, can't write, can't focus. Fear.

  1. WHAT IN THE WORLD?!?!?! Are you serious? I mean, I don't know you well enough to know the situation behind this horrid account of a ruined holiday, but you've got my attention. What in THE world would cause children to kick in a door? Adult children? Death threats...

    Oh, wow, gosh I'm sorry to hear this. Are you ok?

  2. Oy, Viv. Every time I think I'm having a bad time of it. . . I'm glad you folks got a restraining order. Paper trails are good. Don't hesitate to use it. I hope your husband is home for a while. I'm sorry for this, but it sounds like a state enforced Time Out is something your step kids are heading for anyway.

  3. Oh wow. So sorry! I know from reading past posts these boys have been a problem before, but never to this extent. I'm glad you got the restraining order. Be sure to use it and call the police when/if they appear again so they can enforce it. Their agressive behavior could be a warning sign of drug use (something harder than pot, obviously - crack or meth have those side effects).

    Be safe Viv.

  5. Viv, you are all in my prayers. That shouldn't happen to anyone. How are the little ones handling it?

  6. What are these children thinking?!? I hope their father is able to talk to them about their actions, not that it would change anything.
