Do you think it was an easy life when man was first on the earth, trying to hide in caves and fight off wild animals who saw him as food. Or when the Vikings or the Hun or any number of conquering and threatening barbarians roamed the world looking for conquest? So, now, we have shelter and law enforcement and many other things to protect us. No you have no 100% guarantee that you or I will not be targeted. However, if you jump at every shadow you will be so fearful you will see danger where it doesn't exist. Life has risk to it. I'm sorry you are so frightened. I can see what might make you feel that way, but try to lighten up a bit and go out and enjoy what you can. No one can protect you 100% . Just take precautions and don't look for danger everywhere. I'd move if I were you. Mayge a small town or a secure apartment? My mom and dad moved into a Senior apt. at 55 (HUD) and it was great; totally self contained for the most part. They even had a guard! They went out when they felt like it. They had a handicapped tag so they could park close to stores and such. I always look around me when I park at the mall or the local shopping area. I even know enough to go out when others go out of the store so I'm not wandering alone. I keep my keys handy and with one between my fingers and I would use it to deter anyone who bothered me. I lock my doors and do the sensible stuff. That's the best way to handle these things. Do what you can, but don't become housebound. Find things to love and enjoy. You don't have to go babbling off like an idiot who thinks everything is rosy, but everything is not black either. I wish you well. Tootsie
