Town is getting worse and we're not protected:

it is what it is.

hard work.

sacrifice.

new car looks like it's been keyed along the side.

some people will only ever harm and sabotage.

choose to never be like them.

I have had to have police involvement due to abusive men this year and last year, an abusive ex partner and an abusive ex friend turned obsessor, and today I was told my car has been scratched. 

No woman is safe lately and police do not protect us and can't protect us. They claim to believe us but then go on leave for months at a time, refuse to read the statements and reports often getting things wrong and leaving it far too long to get recorded statements and evidence. They let evidence get recorded over and we as victims don't matter.

I feel like those who break the law have more support, more legal advice, more protection than any victims do and when victims retaliate they're penalised beyond a joke. If the ex friend comes for me I will defend myself and I have told the same to the police, he got obsessed and is a pathological liar, is a danger to women and children around him and has violent tendencies. At least it is now on the police's radar thanks to a friend and myself.

It seems to pay to be a criminal these days.

It looks like it has been lightly keyed and I don't know if it was a rogue kid being a nuisance or if it's one of the few that have decided to be an enemy to me. I'm not even who they think I am but I can't change how others want to 'paint' me in their heads to justify their own abusive natures. I let them get at it.

They say this town is a nice little town and it used to be, but now it's filled with rogue individuals with their mind set on causing problems for others and there's no police presence as much as before and no police station on the town.

Cars are burned out, a rise in theft, no consequences for kids that throw eggs at cars from road sides and bridges and a lot of children die from no helmets and riding rogue bikes. So much tragedy and loss and so much criminal damage.

The cliques also run the town and get away with bad behaviours because they're useful to most. It's like they enjoy holding people to ransom and having power over others.

A lady reached out to me who had a bad experience from a local support group, the same one that betrayed and harmed me, and I feel like some people feel they're above the law and with the state of the law these days, are they wrong? They can get away with bullying, harassment, abuse of the law and rules of their organisations and they do get away with it all.

I comforted her, reminded her their behaviour is theirs alone and is nothing whatsoever to do with her and how they have behaved is malicious and cruel but she's best doing what I did and not trusting them and avoiding them. Like I said behaviour has a pattern and they know what they are doing or else one of the heads of the support group would never have admitted to lying to the police in my messenger and justified it based on a false narrative. They make up excuses to be abusive and they justify it. They can't ever be wrong. Trying to play a victim and trying to manipulate me didn't work, I saw through the facade due to my background in behavioural psychology and thank gawd I did.

I was not going to be lured back into her 'saint' fantasy where she excuses harm she causes to others. People like her don't change and no one around her is safe. Not my problem. Not my circus.

Those of us brave enough to defend ourselves tend to be targeted all the more as people thrive on harming others and drama.

This needs to change.

Otherwise good people will end up becoming criminals as they fight BACK because the police don't care, don't protect us and we have no other choice.

Maybe that's what they want, good people to break and lose it and take matters into their own hands because they don't have a choice.

Either way, the system needs an overhaul and people deserve better from the system and from their fellow townfolk.

I pray and hope for all those facing problems without protection today, may they have the strength to not become like those who harmed them and may they thrive even when people try and destroy and sabotage them.

Sending love.
