NASTY INCIDENT-PRAYERS/good vibes NEEDED for DAZZ!

:sigh:
this one's directly for me (vs usually my fam & friends to/for whom you have been so generous :heart: )

NO MEDICAL Emergency....{just get THAT right up front}


warning -long story
OK..... a long, complicated (living situation in general) situation with one (of 2) roomates i'm living with..........may be coming to REALLY serious decision time.
those Plebans who know the long, l-o-n-g version please keep that to yourselves....

here's the current update without all that other realy older complicating stuff.......

I might have to finally go get a an order of protection/restraining order against the roomate who was living here before me.....
...it's beginning to get too, too "aaaaaaaa" & energy draining w what else i have to do.
It's drained my energy and plans before.

and actaully I have another #extremely major# thing/circumstance upcoming in the next few months.
I don't think i can take THAT process(extremely hard work/decsions & fear/ anxiety producing), and keep having these intermittent but dengerous incidences with this particualr roomate. Ongoing for 5 yrs with more mediumm ones that also take a smaller but cumulative sometimes toll.

this past thurs night........after a modest problem i getting annoyed (loud voice/ a short amount of modest yelling onn my partwith her for not alerting me about something.. in the house....she flew into a RAGE......

It's too dicey for me to try and run out the front door when this nasty roomamte goes into A RAGE like that.
I might not make it out in time, and there's not that much room fro me to turn, and defend myself - a long hallway. My room is half way between the front door, and living room where almosrt all this troublre starts up.

I had to scream for help as she was body-slamming my bedroom door [not the first time, but I'd had it, per se]...and Luckily the folks next door....oppositie my window in their apt building
(a shortish distance )....heard me, and called the police.

The last time [3 months ago?] I yelled for the other nice{ current as of almost 2 yrs} roomate to call the police, but she didn't hear me-- as I went running for my room.

I ened up staying at my sib's this weekend, and i have yet to go home. I'm HERE first. :crack:

:wink:


I'm calling some specialists in law to see what lag time there is in these proceedrues.
I tried fri later in the day to call these people at someone eslese apt..... but they were on call-back answer machine mode, and i was heading to my sib's. My sib's also going to try and talk to some folks i guess she knows, too.

this decision on Fri to calll my sis to ask if i could stay ( I HAD NEVER yet done that) was after roomate who was just sitting on the couch saw me walking down the hall, then heading to theendtable where phone is to use the phone (and NOT EVEN calls about her)........

....and grabbed tthe phone held it away, and wehen i leaned over her said i needed to use it--- "suddenly" she "needed" to "use" it....saying "I HATE you".
5 yrs ago someone else called the police on her the first time she flew into this kind of rage and hit me {luckily more psychological damage than real physcial damage...she's also throen things at me 2 x's. luckily smallish and her rage actauclly seems to mess up her aim.

I decided i was not going to get much peace and quiet.......as I was trying to comp0lete something (a special art project...mentioned later on here)....
....this wweekend if she was that spiteful . She probably would try and keep the phone in her room, grab it again or even [done before] ripped the phone cord out pf the wall.

Becuase re: court stuff.......
since I've been told sometimes it's very quick, sometimes it's not [more complicating factors]...I have to have as they say for......battered women......A PLAN.

ANd I don't know yet therange of time time length....how to cobble together a bunch of people i can stay with depending on length of time.

I have to get the super to put a lock on my bedroom door. I am hoping she did not talk herself into a "righteous" rage while i wasn't there to go and trash my stuffr { i took some of my most speccial physical stufff=momentos/aret/jewelry i've made& been given/photo0s/fancy clothing to my sib's}.


There's anger, then there's RAGING in an INAPPROPRIATE way , which is what can happen when I occasdionally stand up for my part in this apt.....and she dosent "like" it....vs just always walking away and letting her ompletely me bully me aroun d into what she wants. in living conditions :madspit:

She's aLSO BEEN A PRoblem for the nice roomate...of whom we usually get along fine and work out what little problerms we've had.

why the delay.?
........well for 4 yrs no one told me (people who are supoose to be helping me) i could try and get this.
All they said was you have the right to file a complaint with the police ............nothin' bout a court order. :|
WHO in their right mind wiould DO THAT, and STILL be living there
!??!!!:scream:
I'm poor, I have complicating options...........yeah i can just pick muyself up and go to a HOTELfor a while.........even a modest but deccent one
shit...............

anyway please pray for my safety.

please pray that i make the right desicion for my health aND SAFTey and that I DO GET the SUpport/protection i need..
...and that if I do go through with this.....she WILL BE GONE from this apt in the next ? 2 - 6 weeks or so?

I will throw a small party for my friends if this does come to pass in a happy and safe way. and I'll have a VIRTUAL PARTY with you all here- as well!

~*THANK YOU IN ADVANCE*~ for your help.
I may not have the time to get back to a computer for a few days or so.


aND in this last week & a half (gathering up supplies and all)
i was trying SO hard to get s a drawing aND SCULpture into a particular kind of art gallery competition by this sat earlt eve.
because of her actions i just couldn't get it done on time.
some thing i had wanted to do for several yrs andd kept missing these actaull compettiion info each yr.

I had just happen to catch an annoucement about it 2 months back BUT for which i had some other major OBLIGATION i had to get to a further point- so all I could do was THINK ABOUT WHAT ART i wanted to make in the last week or so before the deadline.

i wailed like a banshee.....when i realized i was just making too many mistakes in the amount of time i had left. ...couldn;t do it right... I had planned to keep the sculpture and try tio sell the drawing.

The way I'm trying to think stay on it in a more postitve way.....

...it did jump start my work process BACK I N in this direction..
actuall completed physical art of certain kinds........VERSUS

>>>>>I'd been doing mostly (and learning) computer art (photoshop & corel's Painter <origianlly fractal design> for the PAST 3 YRS. it can be frustrating but i love it and waited [life situatuations] almost FOURTEEN YRS before i had the opportunity to have acess to this higher end computers/ storage apace etc.

and not only did i get one sculpture idea {based and altered on pieces i made/ehibited and sold (one) back in the mid-80's before i switched back to illustration again as a goal.-I love both} but i got several more off of the first one in the past 3 days.

my typing goinf further down hill...and i'm too tired to try to corrcdt it anymore.

tahnaks again :hug:S

dazz im sending you my good vibes honey but you need to get out. i cant stress that enough.
i know it will be very hard to do get out and keep yourself safe.

:hug: :hug;
 
jen.................:hug:

i havew no where at this precise moment to go...
....i have spent time with women who have been battered by their boyfriends/husbands............the other roomate is a survivor.

I'm pretty well aware of the dangers........
I do sleep with heavy objects...and i have ways of baricading the bedroom door. wh9ich i did thurs night.

I will now and [ have kept such things on occasion] as heavy screw drivers/ monkey wench etc inn my pockets at home. I know in my head the things i can grab to throw or hit with in all the rooms.

I just bought a 3 ft inch and 1q/4 or half wooden stick to have on me tonight.

Do i want to use them. No. When i think about it i have my imaginings of defnding myself if she gets worse......i ahve the imaging and the determination to defend myself.
a tough woman freind fo mine thinks I can handle it.
If I HAVE to I think i can.


I maanged the previouis timne to force her to get her to put a chair down... I am taller and somewhat bigger than her.

the next thing i remember is running down the hallway and making it into my room.

my sib will not let me swtay with her. but she will try to help me in just about any other way she can.

I am very aware I possibly could end up injured,maybe even severly.
I am aware i could even be killed.

I i have had the scenes in my head of fighting, of possibly beinbg caught unawares..
I am imaginging as many scnerios IN the APT that i can thibnk of so I can protect my self....

...i have avery vivid imagination.VERY viivd. {I t is what helps tto make my art so imaginative and varied} it also has gottenme into trouble i8n ramping up my anxiety of WHAT IF's in my life at times........ which i've only come to get a better understanding of in these past 10 yrs or so.

I have to stay focused on protecting my self while i am in the apt. until something can be worked out.

and i shoo these "internal movies" away quickly so I do not get all crying and shakey etc. or get "sick to my stomach" or either going in the upwards dierection or the dowards direction.

double extra love unsure how i qouted myself :der:

do you have a councellor or someone you can talk to that may be able to help you out ?

:hug:

I have people......unfortunatley some of them are the ones who didn't inform me in the past about the court order stuff.
only this new person in SEPT did when the chair incident hapened.]

BUT I ewas just getting over having been worrying about ]hrelping out my sis fter HER own emergency hernia surgery at end of July -- which could have ended up being a temporary colostomoty bag thi9ng or out right killed her...IF {Pthank the powers she was abkle to finally make it to the phne she was in such agaony} she hadn't been able to make the call...she'd caaledf riends who insisted she GO TO the hospital butr she couldn't do it out right. right aweay.

she SHOULD have gone three weeks earlier when she was bad sick on 4 thof july she cancled.i was ddissapppoijnted butr more scared for her b'c she'd also been very sick in ? mid spring or feb........ so i ahd no energy left to persue it further iscuss it aT THAT POIUNHT

nayway some who also had been helpong me up & left for another job a week before christams with out warning that threw another wrench in things............

I will be seeing soime one tomorrow as well........
 
thanks again jen............i was typing so long i missed the other post..........

yeah......... it's at least a few rings into Hell...........but others have it even worse....
.....which doesn't excuse this w so wounded BITCH i'm usually only some one so wounded is capable of such evil actions........

myy sib says............. you "can't win" here UNLESS you get as evil as her - she's NOT saying.... "don't defnd your(my)self".

and she DOES feel bad she won't let me stay -in the A PLAN part.

but in a short term day or 2 utter emergency...that's something different.

I have an old dear college friend, another freind from the past 5 yrs and a friend of 8 yrs who actually asked if I wanted to to0 move in and help pay rent as told her about more of this roomate situation.
Plus maYBE MUTUAl friends of my sis their some of her oldest friends....we've hung out together at WHO/BRUCE/patti smith/ u2 concertts and more for decades. ' i could possible sleep there for a day or 2 ...maybe........

I just emialed her about what happened a MUCH SHORTER VERSION :wink: .she knows some of it Obviously thru my sis.

email another friend whoo I know could probably help me put the lock in. she's a fixer-uper in mechanical and some electricall stuff prob abit of carpentry too.. she's a also makes her own candy when she got teh yen for it a few months back.

I asked her 2 weeks ago BUT...........
she said if THAT roomie was there.....she'd probaly go into "avenging angel" mode, and giving a Talkin' to (NOT a beatdown( (she's a Texan). ha...... she a pretty well built African- American woman......ha.... might scare the crap outta my roomie.
well i guess i'm going have to pay the super once my checks clear mid week. to put the lock in.

I just emailed this woman to fill her in since i missed art class on sat and i iss placed my phone book w her # in it. only know half of it

thank you ali :hug:

hopefully I'll only have to be gone either in a steady or intermittrent way for a while.........

.... while SHE will be FORCED OUT for good!!!!! NAD FUCKING SOON, too!
 
oh wow Dazz, what an awful predicament. I agree that you do need to move out, but I understand how hard it is to find a place there. Your roommate also needs to face some consequences. I hope she gets out of there soon, and gets some serious help.


:hug:
 
Dazz I am so sorry that you are having to live this way :hug: I hope that you are able to find a safe place to go to soon. The same for your other roommate too. You know you have friends here who will help in anyway that they can :hug:

Please stay safe :hug:
 
Daz, please get help. I know we're all worried about you and we'll send our prayers and good vibes your way. But get they help you need. YOu shouldn't have to go through this alone, well, you shouldn't have to go through this at all and hopefully it'll be over soon. Take care. :hug:
 

keep fingers crossed........


when i blearily came out of my room this morning...it seemed roomie was talking to someone (on phone) -- I wasn't looking --(heading to the loo as quietly as possible w/o her seeing me at that point)......
from what she was saying back......someone was trying to convince her to take an apt on the first floor somewhere.....

I will honestly admit that the part of me that's been so messed up at times by her actions would "love" to see her dragged kicking and screaming [ so to speak :wink:] outta here for good (!!!!!) ..........

{ oh- hear me, Universe} I would be -omg- so happy to see this resolved in a peaceful way of having her leave willingly!!!!!

yes, truley NO ONE should have to go through this hellish shit.............

I was talking w someone today and she gave me some people to ccall and we discussed some other people/placesI thoughof last night ( like battered women's shelter or local gov't rep district offices that often have info) who also could provide me with possilb elrgal info/ideas re court order stuff.

i'll be geeting in touch with my friends as I can this week to see what they might be willing to do re staying with them for a time.

I came up with some more protection ideas....and that also is making me feel calmer and more focused.....

for instance.........should she work up a righteous rage on her own [w/o verbal contact with me]..........I thot oh jeez what can i do when i'm in the bathroom.

I happen to see a cookie tin (that had yet to be filled up w storing stuff).....i put it in a thick plastic bag wrapped the bag up tight against the tin- w duck tape , added a short handle.
Now i have something i can take into the bathroom to swing at her should she come bursting in (she has NEVER done this -but i'm thinking of as many scenarios as I can).

I also thot OH I could by a 5 or 10 lb bag of white rice (realtively cheap) get that quadrupled bagged up (indoor trash bags) and duct tape and a handle.....use that to put against the bathroom door so i could do my "business" in peace. I actually put a bag of laundry

And also put that against the door at night.

I also have a big brass bangle my sib gave nme yrs ago that i still wear...it sticks out an inch & 1/4 . oh that's something i'll just wear in the house everyday.

anyway...i'll keep you all posted as i find out more stuff etc.

i thank you again for your good wishes & prayers and ideas.
I do fgeel somewhat better today, other than being exhausted. Hopefully i will get a good night's sleep tonight, then i can get going on contacting people etc tomorrow.

:hug: :hug:

don't get overly worried IF you don't hear from me for a few days............
.....i'm a bit short on money esp after i spent all that money LAST night (into early morning) here at the Netcafe.....but it DID help me get it out, and ease some of the physical tension (exaserbated by the strain of the art work, the worry and not sleeping so well)... tension [temples] headache that usuall then also gives me queasiness....there's some farly nasty pain i can tolerbate Better than queasiness. THAT "lays me low...." :yuck:


It was an unexpected new rule for our weekday art study that has prevented me from being able to go there this week for puter art (AND FREE Internet connection!) =when i called the head art teacher there Sat to say I might not be able to come in (or on time for the verbal sign up for the week's Weekday study .....i said "...this was an dangerous emergency out of my hands and "shouldn't" be counted as such".

I could go over him, and plead w HIS boss, but i won't -- don't want to cross him. since they just started up the weekday stuff last week.
:sigh: It was SOOOO NICE to be back there last week. :heart:
I'll be back there soon enough, tho. even if more limited ghrs while i get my info/support but i will get say 4 - 6 hrs Vs 9 - 12 more usual.

see you soon :wave:..........with some better news i hope. :)

Oh damn, I will keep good thoughts for you, what an ordeal to have to go through. Hope it all works out in your favor. Just deep breaths and one step at a time, keep your cool! :wink:
 
Thank you all :hug: :hug: :hug:

Finally back........

not too much to report yet.....well that's good in ONE way.....I
managed to say out of the bitch's way and just putter around quietly....

unfortunately got verbal abuse and threat of calling the police on her, but she grabbed her coat & went to HER sib's.
If the nasty calls the police "for no reason" one more time -- they warned her she would BE arrested.

Wasn't able to get up to my sib's as much as I could to try those lawyers, but i'll be there next week to call. And go, and talk as I said to some other possible sources of info.

I did tho, manage to tote up f most of the rest of my bead suppplies, silver & tools that i felt were too $$$ much to replace or one of a kind to replace if she went on a rampage. Same with photos, some more drawings, some more special yarns, the hard to repalce ( take ime & $ repalce) personal documanrtation stuff.- that i have on record (not needed to careery around). a few more momentos etc..........

SO at least IF ( and partly hopefull it won't gffet to that stage/stat5e) she does trash my room before i can get the lock on it.....a lot of what's the most important to me in physical/ memory/artisitc terms is safely away.
 
I'm glad nothing drastic has happened... still good precautions to move your valuables to safety. Hopefully the lock will happen soon! :hug:
 
thanks
