[QUOTE="So Tired, post: 131878, member: 4772"] Susiestar -- Yes, thanks. After the last episode when I woke up to find drunken kids in my basement that he brought in during the night, we had deadbolts put on front doors that he does not have the key to. It has made me feel sooo much safer. I also think it sent a message to him about how serious we were. Also, when we were recently out of town for a weekend we insisted that he find somewhere else to stay as he would not be able to stay at home unsupervised. (He has been know to let his idot friends stay here while he is at work, use our computer, drink, etc., and has even made them copies of our house key, we discovered!) Previously, when problems were really intense, with physical altercations, I hid all the knives in the house, all the banking info, and the keys to all the cars and realitive's homes. I have also taken to putting my purse next to me in my room when I go to bed. I have not addressed the issue of the locks on the bedroom doors. I should definately do someting about that. It is sad to have to feel like you are defending your home against a terrorist invasion, but you just never know what they might do. All trust is broken.:2sad: [/QUOTE]
