Re: almost scared to live in own home
you poor thing, what a horrible thing to happen. I went through something along the same lines but a bit more horrific and I understand how disturbing it is, and how it can ruin your sense of security in a place.
Hopefully they will be evicted from the apartment. The chances are don't own it, and since the incident was witnessed by a lot of residents you'l probably a lot of support to get them out. If the worst comes to the worst you could sell up and leave, but hopefully it was just one awful incident.
It took me a while to get over my incident, for ages I couldn't sleep at night, and if I heard anyone raise their voice I'd almost feel sick with worry. But it does fade with time, and evetually things will go back to normal.
