Still worried about Luna's and Lily's safety! (update #33)

[Kirsten]

Does this person have access to your home?

She used to have, I always had a second key to my apartment hidden in the stairways. She knew where it was, but I put it away before I left for the clinic. Call it instinct, but the weeks before I left, I already felt she couldn't be trusted anymore.

I would also avoid any possible contact with her

This is the same advice my doctor (who is also her doctor) gave me. But it won't be easy as we live in the same house (she lives one floor down).

However, they entire thing is so sad and scary! We used to be something like friends, I often went downstairs to chat with her, and she's also been a co-worker of mine. Now her disease turned everything into a nightmare.

Geez, I try so hard to get back to normal, but it's not easy to forget that there was this threat towards Luna and Lily. It's like a dark cloud hanging over me these days!

I look at them and see them in their sweetness and innocence, and the thought of the horror that almost happened is weighing heavy on my heart.

I'm sure your girls must be so happy to be with you again.
Maybe you should get your lock changed and new keys. That way you will know there aren't any copies of keys around.

Kirsten - I remember you saying, before you went into hospital, that you didn't really have any friends to look after your girls. You said something about your increasing poor health having contributed to that.

It sounds like your neighbour is experiencing the same thing - maybe a different illness, but an illness nonetheless.

Perhaps she has lost friends also, because of her moods, which she needs professional treatment to help.

Rather than fear, perhaps reaching out to her with some understanding would help.

Something like a little card showing you understand: "I remember when we had a good friendship and enjoyed knowing each other. As you know, I have been unwell, and had to go away for treatment.
When I got back, I heard you were in hospital. I hope you feel better soon."

Not exactly those words - just identifying with her situation as much as you can because of what you have experienced. Perhaps that will help the fear.

Just my sense of it - people are not the danger here; fear is.

The situation's getting worse here; I wish we had a private forum here at Pet Talk so I could tell you all the details!

Anyway, at this point, I think I need to rehome Luna and Lily as they are no longer safe here, at least until I find another place for us to live. I'm really, really scared!!! I don't know how to pay the money for a move, nor do I know how to make it in this poor health state, but we're definitely not safe here. Geez, this is such a nightmare, and I'm at my wits end!!!

Kirsten - call the police, tell them what is going on, and ask them to do something!

I don't know about Germany, but here police can have someone committed to hospital against their will.

PLEASE call them.
