Yes Crap happens but why does it always happen to me???
So I normally don't vent online simply because I try not to have negative thoughts and I fully believe in the idea of "why me?" vs "why not me?".
That being said I honestly think I and my family have had the motherload of dung poured into our lives from mental illness, poverty, diagnosed disabilities, family violence, etc...
Yesterday takes the cake though.
Started the day before that but didn't know it was going to factor into the event until yesterday early afternoon.
Knock at the door. Man was asking if my daughter(used her full name)was home. I said yes. He asked if she was sleeping and I said yes but only because I know she doesn't like dealing with stuff if I can handle it myself. He has in his hand a paper wallet with a credit card showing. The same company my dd20 deals with. Says he found this and wanted to know if it was hers. I asked to see it. He hands it over and as my head looks down and sees a totally different name i start getting confused. Next thing I know he rushes at me, shoves a baby blanket into my mouth, and pushes me into my foyer. I can't scream because of the blanket but all the banging around and things falling over alert my daughter who starts screaming. Guy drops the credit card and blanket and runs off. She is crying and freaking out obviously but she goes into total meltdown because the day before that she had called me from work asking if i had lost my laundry card because a man had come into her work saying his sister lived in our building and found the card. He asked our apartment number and a couple other questions including my age. She thought he was just being helpful so didn't occur to her anything was out of the ordinary. Same guy turns out. Police were here a couple hrs taking pictures, evidence, and statements.
Today the landlord found him on security however he keeps his head down so no clear photo.
