Sounds like a swatting, Marci. I'm willing to bet that one or more of those "20 questions" were about whether anyone's upset with you enough to do that to you... did they ask that?By the third time I finally heard what was said and it was followed by you need to open the door now please. Eep!
Glad to hear it wasn't a swatting. They wouldn't have shown up at your door, though. Swatters call the police anonymously and report something going on at the victim's home. The police then show up and sometimes the swat team. We had one close to me about a week ago that turned out to be two guys having a dispute at work. One called the police and reported a shooting at the others' address. Terrible waste of LE resources and illegal to boot.@CallMeKate it wasn't. I called when i woke this morning. It was a general vicinity search for an actual domestic issue.
I made sure before i opened the door. I utilize my peephole.

I'm back. Some of you might not like that. But, I'm trying to make changes in my life for the better. I'm hoping for another chance to make some friends on here. So we'll see. All I can do is hope.
AKA MarciKS. I have no clue what my sign in info was from before so, that's why I have the new name. Plus it's nice to start fresh.
For those of you who posted nice comments on my other diary after I left, I appreciate it. Thank you. I've missed some of you.
I just got out of the hospital yesterday afternoon. I've been in the hospital twice now since last November. First time was with pnuemonia/respiratory failure. This time I had a bacterial infection/respiratory failure. Good fun. LOL! I'm home resting and will return to work Tuesday with a little more wear and tear.
They finally got us a new pulmonologist and he's stated he would like to see me get a job that's less physically demanding. So, if things go well, I plan to look for a desk job starting in 2026. I think it's time to hang up my hard working shoes for something a little less tiring. I don't want to but, my body isn't going to put up with much more.
I've had no car for couple years now I think. I'm getting to know the Uber drivers pretty good. *Giggles*
After mom's funeral in 2021 my brother and his wife quit talking to me along with some of the other family members. Father and I tried to build a relationship but it just didn't work out. He was being abusive again and I decided it was no longer a fruitful venture. So, I made the painful decision to go no contact. It was what was best for me. I am finally starting to heal and live life.
I have information on several jobs I could get that don't require degrees or experience. Ones I'd probably enjoy. I have no issues with working at a computer all day. I'm on mine all the time at home.
I hope every one is doing well. And I hope we can start again.

Well ya know things happen and life isn't always the way you wish it had been. Despite it all, I am for the most part a happy person.I'm new here but I'm sorry you're having so many health problems and being treatedlike an outcast when you're trying to be nice.
I'm sorry to hear that. If you want to talk about it let me know.Not me. I am not a happy person.
I don't do that to them but, it's ok for people to treat me like crap. And then they can't understand why I'm mad.
This ^^^.If they can't do any better than that then I just won't bother with them anymore. I would rather sit in a corner by myself somewhere and just ignore them rather than making anymore effort.
I tolerate it to keep the peace but I think he knows he's hurt my feelings. When it was first said I made a rather vulgar retort which I tend to do because it makes me so mad when people treat me like I don't matter.This ^^^.
I stumbled onto this the other day (source unknown):
They Didn't Change Because You Tolerated Everything
*You kept forgiving so they never felt guilty.
*You stayed silent so they thought it was acceptable.
*You kept adjusting, so they never had to.
*You explained your pain...they heard it but didn't care.
*You gave them chances...they gave you the same behavior.
*You stayed...so they never feared losing you.
*You tolerated disrespect...so respect was never required.
*You called it love...but it was you abandoning yourself.
They didn't change...because you made it easy for them not to.
Respect starts the moment tolerance ends.
In which case, these days there are a few people who must be starting to respect me because I have cut them off completely. So there!
Comrades in arms, Friend.
