Do You Know

Mama would have taught him thats for sure.

If I was outside in the yard mowing or doing something people we know would go by and blow the horn and wave. Well I was out there once and this jerk blew the horn and I didnt even look up..thinking it was someone we knew I threw my hand up and waved and kept mowing the grass. Well that was all it took to get the creep started I guess because I had never so much as spoken to the jerk. When I told my Dad what was going on he was sober and seemed to think it was hilarious. Later the same night he was drunk and decided he was going to be the protective Dad and do something about it. Booze built up his courage I guess...I told worthless to go to bed and sleep it off. I waited a couple weeks to see if he would leave me alone but he just kept getting worse. The letter from the county attorney had no effect.

Thats when my older brothers got involved. Took them a couple days to catch him in the act but they did. Just to impress upon him they meant it the oldest brother saw the guy out on his tractor right across from our house a couple days later and my brother pulled the guy off the tractor and told him he had been in jail once and didnt care to go back. He pretty much told him he would kill him if he didnt leave me alone. After that I had no more problems. I have never been close to my brother because he is always up to something crooked and in and out of jail but I will always be grateful to him for that one.

After that I stopped waving at anyone who went by. During the whole thing I was torn between fear and being ****ed off. I carried a ball bat in my backseat for years after that and always had a knife in my pocket. After I got engaged to Jon I gave him the two pocket knives I used to carry lol. He has one and he gave his Dad the other. It took me years to stop looking in my rear view every sec. From some of the horror stories I have read I guess I got off pretty easy with my stalker.

I have some family who've led sorted lives too, janie. In fact, don't know if I've ever mentioned it here or not, and I won't go into the whole long, drawn out story, but my brother is soon completing his second lengthy prison senstence. Sept. 5th he is released from Iowa State Penitentiary in Ft. Madison after serving 7 years. Brother has been the cause of lotsa family drama, chaos and fear/violence over the years, and as the 5th draws closer we're all a bit aprehensive... My best hope for him (we believe he's institutionalized) is that he does something else without causing hurt to himself or others, and gets tossed right back into the system as soon as possible. At least when he's locked-up we know all his basic needs are being met- far better than he is able to provide for himself on the outside. Ugh. So I feel for ya, with the family stuff, janie!

Janie , you are not alone with the Stalker business ! When I was married to my first hubby I had one. He was a Mexican guy here in the US illegally....he lived next door to me and for some reason became obssesed.I never even knew he lived there until I noticed him watching me. He would stand in front of my house. Ride his bike back and forth and one time stood in the edge of my yard and mooned me ! I had enough and called the Sherrif who I knew really good and he came out there and took care of it/ The guy was deported. Scary stuff .

My brother did a year in a federal pen for writing bad checks. He has done 6 months to a year in countless other jails time and time again. He isnt dangerous unless you let him think your afraid of him. Then he thinks he can bully you. Im so not afraid of him.

He is out right now alteast last time I heard anything about him about 4 months ago he was. We hadnt seen him in about 4 years when my Mom was dieing with cancer she was asking for him. I have two other older siblings who were living somewhere here in town but I had no clue where. So I had a friend of ours looking at a couple places they may be when he runs into the town chief of police. He tells him whats going on and the chief tells him he doesnt know where two of them are but the oldest brother was in his jail right here in town. While this was going on Jon and I were in Lexington at the cancer center with my Mom. Our friend calls and tells me he didnt find the two but my oldest brother had been in the county jail right here in town for 6 months and was still there. I thought there had to be some sort of mistake. I got home that morning and called the jail and they said he was there. I didnt believe it til I saw him. He was in jail when she died. We eventually found the other two... Other than my little Sis Cole my family is so messed up. I cant fault them for being messed up considering the way we were raised My parents shouldnt have been allowed to have a pet much less kids. So Im with you on the family drama Kevin. There are five of us total. The oldest three live in another county and will stay there until they rip off so many people they get ran out of town like they did here. I havent heard from them in about 5 months now.
I count myself very lucky to have my little sis Cole and her kids. They are my family. Jon's a great guy and I love his Dad to pieces. Took long enough but I finally got a good Dad.

mrsjimmyp Im so sorry you had to experience that. Im glad you had friends in the right places to get rid of the jerk.
