I called the police. (page 3)

That sounds REALLY scary! Glad you are o.k. for now, hope all was well when you got home. Sounds like you handled yourself very well, which may have prevented things from escalating. I hope you can find a safe place to live soon. All the best to you. And please block the door with a chair tonight.

You did handle yourself well, and yes, good for you for calling the authorities and letting him know that you will not allow yourself to be abused. Whatever happens from that is his own responsibility, and he will have no one to blame but himself for any consequences that he reaps.

Peace,

The flag on your profile indicates you are in South Africa.

Your age is 37 years ?

You live in a room, so this means you have no children ?

I am wondering what opportunities might be available

for you to get some financial aid and go and live at and study

at a college,university, nursing school, technical school ? ?

There are universities/colleges in the large cities ?

Grants for study must be available, and you do not have to pay back a grant.

There must also be scholarships, or, grants based on income, available to you ?

If you could get into some course of study leading to a profession,

you could move your life forward and be free of the control and abuse of your relatives.

hey villagegirl - i had to move back home after a job opportunity fell through about a year ago (i moved from one company to another and it bombed) so i now rent a room from my grandmother and no, i don't have children.

as for grants and financial aid - they do not grant them to people like me as i do not fit the racial profile. i do have skills and have been in the professional arena for 17 years, jobs are very difficult to come by as companies have to take on specific racail groups - that is our law. i do currently have a job but it doesn't pay enough to get a place on my own. i am constantly looking though.

good news - after i had been home for 4 hours i came back to see the key was in the door - he may have had a spare made. i will be putting on a dead bolt for extra security

Oh, Lou, so sorry to hear this. Now that Julian has moved out, my life is so peaceful. I wish you the same level of peace.

first - you are a real trooper and survivor loubelle! i wish i could just whisk you into a better place...i have no idea where you are, but it sounds piscatorious.....i wish you a strong heart and strength. get as much education and job experience as you can - and rise above it all - you have it in you. dream a dream and make it happen. i know that sounds very silly in a way, but seriously - go for it.... don't get mired down in local usual sh!t..........move outward and onward................:) hugs............:)

Change the lock on the door, if you are the tenant you do have rights and if the man is violent you need security. Who knows what sets him off or what his triggers are but it seems as if this has been stewing for a while.

Keep yourself safe

well, I agree with the pepper spray, if it's legal in your city. Now that you have called the police and his violent behavior is on record, keep calling the police each time he acts out. Keeping as calm as possible and always always making sure he suffers some consequences to his behavior will help. I wonder why your grandmother didn't divorce him years ago?

The "This is my house" stuff makes me wonder was he a witless at some point?
