Frozen in fear

6 Replies

Can't think. Nothing makes any sense. I am so afraid. Since my son moved in and took over my house I just stay in my room. Force myself to eat. Not gonna be able to pay my bills. Don't have much family left. I know it's wrong to pray for death but that seems the only way out

Hi SD, it must be a terrible moment for you. I don't know the reason why your son moved in and took over your house but keeping yourself in your room like in a cage doesn't look like the best thing to do. Why don't you try to talk to your son? tell him what troubles you and try to find a solution to this situation together!

Again I don't know the real scenario of what you are living but something similar is happening in my family where my brother moved back to my parents house and they are not getting along. I suggested the same thing to my parents as well, to have a 'face to face' conversation and find a solution together!

You should try to do the same, keeping this tornado of emotions for yourself will only make things worse in the long run.

I am happy to support you in this, in case you want to be more specific in what's happening between you and your son.

Hi why has he taken over your house? Is he physically intimating towards you? if so you need to take steps to get him out. Do you have any other family or friends to help you? x

No. I have 3 adult children but only the one lives here. I lost my life partner of over 40 years last year in March. I filed PFA papers then I backed out due to fear. I am 68 on Social security only. Can't afford to leave this old house which is literally falling apart. Thinking about committing myself into mental institution. Become a ward of the state.

That still doesn't explain how and why your son has taken over your own house and why you stay in your room. There must be a reason. x
