Someone in the house

One day I was looking for my baby boy’s favourite toys but couldn’t find it anywhere. Nor could my husband. Weeks passed and they didn’t turn up.

Then one afternoon I came home to find the toys inside on the floor as if they had been posted through the letter box. This freaked me out and all sort of thoughts went through my head. One of those thoughts was that someone had been in the house, taken the toys and posted them back through to scare me and make me realise they were watching me. I tried to rationalise this and considered whether it had been my care coordinator who had visited not long ago -had the toys accidentally fallen into her bag and she was returning the toys. I convinced myself this was what happened.

At my care coordinator’s next visit I explained to her about the toys and she told me that she had not done what I thought may have happened. I groaned and told her then that means people have been in the house. I told her how you see people on tv have their houses entered into and hidden cameras and microphones put up. She tried to reason with me but couldn’t.
