Two weeks ago filed police report remaintenance guy using his key instead of using the doorbell or knocking; was in bed, undressed and scrambling to put something on, shouting “I’m not dressed—you have no right to use a key. Carlos came in, closed the door. Told him and management about the incident; carved in stone to NEVER enter my dwelling unless I’m home. This morning the same guy used his key, not ringing the doorbell (super loud) not knocking on the door. Was raped many years ago—and it terrifies me that management won’t do anything about it. This is the 2nd time. It’s against the law. Someone please help me; I’m 73 years old and this must stop.

I believe my mother in law is being abused by her husband. He has been abusive in the past. Almost 4 years ago he pressured her into selling their paid off home , bought an not so nice motorhome. They are now staying in someone’s backyard. She was at our house yesterday. She told us he took her phone away and won’t let her even go in the kitchen. When she was here she said she was hungry, she hadn’t had anything to eat. She has lost alot of weight. She seemed scared and said he’s planning something. She has a pension and social security, he has nothing.
We are not sure how to handle this without making thing more dangerous for her. Please someone contact me.
