[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 580323, member: 1233"] UAN, PLEASE be hypervigilant for the next few weeks. This is the most dangerous time because he is losing control and is being told that he cannot do this or contact you this way. If you have to walk out into a parking lot in the dark, get another teacher or a security guard to walk you to your car. When you leave the building, have your key ready. Not just have the keys out, but have the key or remote to open the car in your hand. Have your cell phone out and ready with 911 on speed dial or else dial the numbers and have your finger ready to press send. Think about getting pepper spray and a security keychain. Pepper spray can be tricky because you are going to get some on you most likely. Don't use it if you think you won't be able to function enough to get away, you don't want it to trap you with a dangerous man you have just sprayed wth pepper spray. They sell various keychains that are designed to be lightweight and very effective for self defense. Here is a list of various ones from amazon: [url]http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=self+defense+keychain[/url] Personally I prefer the safety cat/brutus type because I get a better grip and am far less likely to drop them or have them taken away than the kubaton style. I am less likely to use pepper spray personally because there are people it won't work on. Some have become used to it and some people just never react to it, their bodies just don't. Many people will tell you to carry your keys so that a key sticks out from between each finger in case you have to protect yourself. This is effective, but can be harder to hold on to.
