Piling up bills
Bills piled up, and unsettling incidents unfolded—strange calls came at odd hours, the phone ringing only to reveal silence when I answered. Each eerie call frayed my nerves a little more, while the unpaid bills seemed to mock me from the counter. I struggled to keep the household running, but the mounting stress made it harder and harder to focus on anything else.

Children’s fear
The kids were scared, and I felt my grip on normal life slipping away. Timmy refused to sleep alone, while Lucy followed me like a shadow. Their fear was so real it tore at my heart, filling me with guilt. One night, Timmy asked, “Mom, is someone trying to hurt us?” I reassured him, “No, sweetheart,” though deep down, I wasn’t sure. Their wide, frightened eyes stayed with me, pushing me to find some stability for all of us.
