As some of you are aware I've been living with a schizzophrenic addict who has on a few occasions fantisized while high on OTC cough medicine about having someone kill me so she and her new lover, presumably the killer, can live happily ever after in my apartment.
In order to get away from her, not having whatever it takes to kick her out, I've been working toward leaving my job and home in hopes she'll leave of her own volition.
Well, she finally struck out to find her another man to take care of her. And the man she found is a homeless war vet who has knives and guns, seems relatively smart, and is really. really unstable. He's convinced Alice and I have a sexual relationship and cannot be persuaded to believe otherwise.
He left voice mails night before last making references to the Saw movie franchise, quoting it with "the game has begun."
And just moments ago, thanks to the building's front doors being propped open because someone is moving, someone, maybe it was the guy, maybe it wasn't, I don't know, I've never seen him, but some guy I don't know came knocking on my apartment door I didn't answer it because I was in the middle of a work-related call at that moment and by the time I finished the call he was gone.
More drama below
I alerted the building manager, who by the way told me he recieved reports that over the weekend Alice was seen in the neighborhood wearing a Jason hockey mask and carrying a hammer.
Last night Alice called a couple times. First time it was so I could hear her moan while Saw fucker was screwing her, Saw fucker's idea to prove his dominance. Second was to ask if she and Saw fucker could come over and hang out sometime, also Saw fucker's idea, I assume to gain my trust, then take me out, and then sell whatever they can carry out the door and sell for crack. No way is Saw fucker getting in this apartment nor do I wish to ever meet him anywhere at anytime.
I know I need to call the police, but I'm waiting to hear back from Alice's case worker to make sure this is handled as best as can be to bring no harm to her. Truthfully tho, I'm becoming more rather than less supportive of the idea Alice needs to be institutionalized at St Elizabeth's for a time.
I'm just trying to make it through the next few weeks while I figure out where best to go, where I can live cheaply and find even a min wage job. Not that I ever wanted a reward, I was doing what I thought was good just for goodness' sake. But this is what going too far down a hopeless path has earned me. Hard fucking lesson. I'll know better moving forward.
Update 7:30 pm ET
Well, I did finally talk with both the case worker and the police. The officers took the info, but were pretty much, well what you want us to do? And it totally slippled my addled brain to ask them specifically about filing a restraining order. I put a call in to ask about that, but I may find that there's nothing actionable to file one yet. The creepy messages weren't worth their time to listen to unless the guy made a specific threat, which he didn't.
So the door is locked, deadbolted, and chained. By 9 pm there will be front desk coverage and theoretically no one can get in unless I buzz them in, which I will not. I'll root around for for a blunt object and keep the phone by my side. I anticipate Alice will call later and I'll sure be asking her if it was Saw fucker knocking at my door. Don't know if telling her I've spoken with the police is the right move. She'd consider it wrong for me to have done that, she calls it being a rat,and it could be more likely to precipitate an in person visit. I dunno.
But what I DO know is that this thing called Daily Kos is a really, really special place. I can't thank you all enough for your concern, advice and words of support. FSM bless you all.
