Some guy who used to live in our building, but was kicked out for loud drunken parties has started coming to the Senior Center, my beloved place that I have thought of as a safe-haven. He, a year ago, made a very physical and improper pass at me in the middle of the grocery store entrance. He had a friend with him, who I think he was trying to impress. What he did was to sidle up to me, like almost touching me and pressed his pelvis into mine! I was so grossed out that I ducked and quickly grabbed a grocery cart and left.
Now my safe haven feels like a place of disaster to me. I have warned all my closest friends there, as well as the Director, all about him. They are all keeping an eye on him for me, watching my back. However, I still feel as if the place is unsafe for me, whereas for the last year I have felt very safe there. Also, since I have been attending there, I have not needed to be hospitalized except once, which had been because of a medicine I should not have been given (a bad reaction to it) not my usual emotional breakdowns. The Senior Center has been a place of support, love and safety for me, until a few days ago when this man showed up.
I need a bunch of hugs!
so sending calming (((hugs)))for your heart!
Our friend is on his way with collected love and (((hugs))) for you. Hope you feel better soon.
