Run in with two probable psychopaths

Tarri

Jedi Master
I am going to tell the forum of my recent and traumatic experience involving two individuals. Before I get into it,for those of you reading this that are new. If I had not been doing some serious studying in the area of emotional triggers, staying focused in times of great stress, and truly trying to see the reality for what it is and not what you believe it to be, I would be in danger of having my life ruined. No joke.

I met a woman in her early 20's who is a care provider for my house mate. Her and I hit it off immediately. She is vibrant and positive. Very energetic and engaging. We liked the same music and loved to cook etc. You get the picture. We talked together a lot when she had down time. Texted and spoke on the phone. This went on for about a month. It felt like how Mom and I felt when we were together. That is where I became blinded. She began telling me about her stepdad. How he worked for the same agency that determined the hours I was allowed for care staff each month. She felt that I could get more hours if I needed them. That her stepdad would be able to help me as he new people.

While this is all going on.... not long after she started and while other staff from different parts of her support team where in and out of the house, my pain meds began missing. I had them in the kitchen with all my other meds. There are two medicine drawers. Mine and my house mates. In all the time before I had moved in to the year that I have been there, never had there been a problem. To shorten this telling considerably, I went from putting them in my room, to putting them in an old lock box I had. They were still being taken. I was 80% convinced that it was me, that I was getting up and moving them while I was half asleep. I mean how could they disappear out of the lock box?

Well, I was told by this staff girl, my "friend" that her stepdad wanted to set up an appointment to meet with me. That he would call me. I waited and waited, and she would ask if he had called me yet. I told her no, so she suggested I text him as he was very busy and it had just slipped his mind. So I texted him. Making me the one who reached out to him. Set up #1. He called me an hour later. Imagine that. He asked me where I wanted to meet him. Thus I set up the meeting. Set up #2.
Let me say that something that I considered strange at the time happened once the meeting was set up. The girl, that was such a great friend.... began acting as if we were just acquaintances thought perhaps I had offended her in some way. I questioned her about it and she said she was just tired. You would have thought I would have gotten it. Now here is where it gets really important to pass along to others. I remember getting a butterfly light touch of unease. I was being given a warning and I could not get past the friendship I felt was in danger of being hurt. That little warning is so light it was easy to just let it go as being your imagination. Over reacting. I was so very wrong.
I went to the meeting. He was so nice, caring, thoughtful, ingratiating. What started the warning touch to get stronger is he kept asking me how I was. Was I in much pain. He's not a dr. what does he care. He told me he worked for the same company that provided my staff. He kept repeating over and over that he was a peace officer for the company. He protected people from harm. As he is edging this trigger into my mind, he begins telling me how he can help me. He said that he could make a call on Monday and I would get more food stamps right away. Ok, I am a slow dork, who takes a while to know she is being had. But that remark right there told me that this was not what I "would like it" to seem. I was now curious and a little scared. But I wanted to finish it to see where the ending led. He also told me that he could get me more hours with the state. When I had my evaluation which would happen next week, (impossible) all I had to do was exaggerate my problems, let him, he would be with me, let him answer most of the questions, ( if the evaluator allowed this than they were in on it also) and by the middle of next month I would have 100 hours a month instead of 37 a month. He told me that of course I would not need all 100 hours and that he would work a couple hours a wee and I would have another care provider that would work maybe another 35 ( which gave me no more than I had now) and than when HE was paid for the extra hours he would give me a financial "gift" with part of it.
It gets worse.
He mentioned again that he was a peace officer and was there anything I needed to tell him. I told him about the theft of my pain meds, and my opal ring I had gotten when mom was alive. He dramatically hung his head and asked of they had started being taken when his stepdaughter had started working there. I was so stunned to hear it out in the open I actually broke down and cried.
I still do not know why he did this. The girl knew I was aware that meds were missing. She was aware that I knew my ring was missing. He told me he would let the girls mother know ( who I found out through my housemates mother OWNED THE COMPANY) Are you following all this?
He called me the following morning to ask if I wanted him to begin getting me started on all of it. I told him that I really wasn't comfortable with it and that I would have to decline. He said he was really sorry to hear that. And that is the last I have heard of him.
I went to the housemates mother about all of this. A good thing I did. She said that the man (not her stepdad, but a friend) had called her and told her that I had approached him because I wanted more hours. She also said she spoke to the girl, her daughters staff, and she does not believe she stole my meds and ring Even though her daughter is missing meds herself, and also missing $125 in cash that was in her room. If this girl is allowed to continue working I will be around her for the next month. Believe me, I am going to stay as far away as possible. I am not allowed to lock my door from the outside because of fire regulations in the house. The landlord is going to put a camera up but it will be to little to late. By the time its ordered, arrives and is put up the girl will be gone. I need to just make sure I stay VERY aware. I have put what I can in as safe a place as possible.

Do you know what my main regret is besides not listening to my intuition? It took me a long time to allow my self to try and make friends again. After the fiasco with my brother I did not trust anyone. I do not see myself trusting anyone but myself for the time I am on this planet. THAT IS SAD.

All input is appreciated. But please don't knock me in the head to hard. I am still trying to deal with the fact that I did it again. At least I have the knowledge that I learned from this site, its info. I may have waited until the zenith hour to 'get it'. But I did. Hope all this will help someone here.
Also keep in mind this is a VERY watered down version of how it all went down. Her setting me up and my refusal to listen to my higher intuition was like a spiders web. Very elaborate. She took her time. I am still trying to process it.

Sorry to hear about this awful situation Tarri. It sounds a little weird and there are a few details that I do not understand. Is this a large/well known company? How did you come into contact with them in order to initially set up the care package? Do you also require physical care, or is it just your housemate? Did the "step dad" offer to replace any of the lost items?


It must feel like a big invasion of your space and privacy, not to mention the loss of property, but don't beat yourself up too much about it. Conmen/women can be very good at what they do, and you seem to have learned a lesson here about trusting intuition.
 
Sorry to hear about your situation. The only thing i can offer is to say that you can find pretty cheap cameras that you can set up yourself in your room. The ones i speak of are called trail cams and are used to spot wildlife. I have seen them selling very cheap. I am not sure what your finances are like but i am sure there are other types of internet cameras you can also install or download an app on your computer or cell phone to capture images when motion is detected. I once did this on my own computer and just left it on and open so it didnt look unusual. I think finding one that will save on a cloud would be good in case the laptop is stolen. How would these people get into your lockbox?
 
Yes, the whole thing is very confusing. Especially for those of you reading because I did not want to write a novel here so left so many details out. I figured that you could pick the important info you wanted and I would give it.
So, from speaking to the landlady, this is not a large agency. There is the woman who owns it. Her daughter who is the one who was stealing. We can call her Ann. And than there are I guess a dozen or so staff? I know I here that she is always looking for more workers. No secretaries, or office workers that I am aware of. That agency is called St. Joseph. I don't know how well known they are. I came in contact with them because part of my Housemate's staff come from them. The others did come from IHSS. Which is were my staff come from. Yes I do require assistance with housework and errands and grocery shopping, going to dog park etc. The reason that she goes through two agencies is because my housemate physically attacks them. She has literally beaten the shit out of three girls on her staff and IHSS. No one wants to work with her any longer. I guess that is why the owner of the agency sent her daughter in. She could not find anyone else. just last week Ann ( the thief) began training a new girl. As Ann was to stop working and go to collage the middle of next month. I have a girl from the other agency, IHSS that comes in for me three times a week. None of the girls know each other, other than from working here. The man who she claimed to be her stepfather but was just a family friend did not offer to replace a thing. The owner did replace the $125 that was stolen from my housemate.

I would like to add, that my housemate had a stroke in-vitro. She also has a slight case of cerebral palsy. And epilepsy. Her seizers tend to last maybe four to five seconds. She often fakes them. She does not have much use of right hand or arm.
She is a little mentally challenged. She had learned to live on her own years ago, from what I have heard from those who knew her 6 years ago she was very independent. But for what ever reason her mother, my landlord, brought her back to this house and gave her staff and she has now reverted to the equivalent of a seven year old. The problem is. She really isn't. I am here 24/7. She is VERY intelligent. And has her mother wrapped around her finger. Her mother is convinced its the meds that cause her to be violent. She goes from one med to another. Its not the meds. When my housemate gets angry. She has NO control. I know some of you are going to ask, and yes, she has gone after me, but I had worked for the mentally and physically disabled for 25 years. So far I have been able to talk her down except for one instance. She did strike me but I did go over it with her and she does try with me anyway, to hold back. I just won't take it from her and she knows it. Enough of this.

You want to hear something funny in all of this. When looking for a place before I landed this one. I had asked the universe for a home where I could take care of the disabled in the capacity that I could handle. I did it like Laura said she did with the lottery tickets. I am guessing it was just blind luck (no pun intended :) or it worked.

I want to let you know of the developments of this morning. The stepfather texted me and asked me to call him. I said no. He called me. Told me that Ann was lying about everything. Said he knew who had my ring. And that he was going to have the police involved. I found this amazing as I would immediately tell them about him. He must have known this. He said he was going to take care of it. I said fine, whatever and hung up. No I didn't ask about my ring. Just get more lies. Than I called the landlady to let her know he was contacting me.
My landlady had me meet her away from the house late this morning. She said that she had spoken to the owner of the agency/Ann's mother. She said that the owner was furious that this 'stepfather' had approached me.. She said that this Ann was no longer working here, and that the owner who did know this so called stepfather (who was not), and asked me to block him from contacting me. That she was going to take care of it. So.....just maybe she wasn't in on it. Or maybe is mad at the mess they are in. How is one to know.
Also, my landlady, who aside from having a dysfunctional relationship with her daughter, has come out of this pretty clean. She actually said that the camera came in today and would be installed when her daughter was out with staff sometime this week.

It is a shame that we/I cannot tell these pieces of scat apart from us. I have resigned myself to only being polite to the staff that are here for my housemate. I will be nice, but will not allow myself to be in a position that any part of me or my life can be screwed with. I don't know how well I will do but I know I have had a second crash course in Psychopaths 101. I hate repeating a class.
I don't feel sorry for myself. I actually feel empowered. I can't emphasize just how good that bitch was. So young.
As for my privacy, well this house has cameras in the front room, kitchen and my room mates bed and bathroom because of her seizures. IAside from getting caught picking my nose ( humor guys, come on...) I do have a tendency of falling. So I have a way of getting help.
They don't record. But the one facing my bedroom door will only activate when it is enabled and someone enters my hall space to my room. If anyone does it takes pictures.Its for safety guys.
So that's it. drama over. Have an awesome week. Tarri
 
I am still going over the book Stripped to the bone. I am in the area where Laura speaks of how the closer you get to ridding yourself of the control of the predate, the harder they fight back and how Don Jon I think, said that it is the love from the heart that was one of the goals. That made me think of my statement above, how i would never trust or find a friend. I realized how self centered this thinking and feeling is. Loving from the heart has nothing to do with 'how i feel' . It is a State Of Being. Now if I have this wrong I would like some help getting it. I need to get this understanding right. This feels like i am in the right direction.
 
I do not think I have that right. I'm sorry but I want to work this out. As the predater pushes more and more negative things at you do not get caaught up in the anger, frustraion etc. If you can push through the onslaught control the negative feeling that are the frequency that they feed on. It will get harder and harder. But if you work through this they will eventually go away. I wonder if at that point they try again infrequently just to check, or can they just read one's frequency and not bother. The reason I am focused on this part is because I had been doing really good again, nothing bad going on. Than the stealing, a back tooth was taken out, the Dr. Continually delaying med refills. I am just saying this to bring the feelings of anger, fear, frustration, defenselessness etc that this brought on. It seems that things keep happening and this pressure builds inside more and more like negative gas filling a ball on. If you can 'decide' NO! I am not doing this, what i am experiencing is not connected to this if it choose otherwise. I can choose to stop and see it for what it is. A chance to stop the feeding. To get my energy back. It belongs to ME.

My lock box is an older one. We got it in the late 80s. It did work great. But someone had to have gotten past the locking mechanism. Now it does not always open for me and if I'm not careful the key turns to far and than it won't lock at all. I purchased a new one.

I realized that I made a mistake. After going over the material again, I realized that Don JON was not soeaking of this, it was the Nexis group. Apologies. Tarri
