It pains me that you are being consumed by so much fear, terror & insecurity, especially in your OWN home. Everyone's home should be & must be their own sanctuary. (The diverse & deeply spiritual meaning of
"sanctuary" is not lost on me.) ~~ Have you considered hanging mezuzot on all your doorposts INSIDE your home? They would be hidden from the eyes of dangerous strangers but visible, warm, welcoming & reassuring to you, your family & your loved ones. ~~ For 70 years now Ive never pronounced & wished Shalom to anyone more ferverently than I do to you, dear Beth. ✡️🕎

Their amazing ability to land on their feet & survive whatever unspeakable horror they are been subjected to continues to deeply humble me. For so many reasons I've had a mezuzah on my front doorsill (my family's term) for decades now. And, yes, I hung it myself w/o the aid of a man.
