I was dating this guy and he was acting all kinds of shady, which was not like him. He had my state ID one day and I forgot to get it from him before he left or to ask him about where it was and he had just left . I was with my mom and so my mom drove to where he was going so that I could get it back. Later he called me and asked what was I doing around 1 am because he wanted to drive somewhere and talk. We drove out to Walmart after he got off work I guess so I wouldn't make a scene like a crazy person when he insulted my mom. Well, he asked me why my mom was following him like a crazy person. That pissed me off .He was mad because my mom drove where he was and he felt like she was following him so I asked him if he was doing something that he needed to be followed for and he said no .I was like why you gonna call her names when all she was doing was trying to get your attention so I can get my state ID? Which she did try to get his attention at that point Did she not trust him? No and she had never had a problem with him before so this was a first time kind of thing. I left and didn't want to talk to him because I was already not trusting him by the end of that night. My mom made jokes about following him saying if she was following him he wouldn't know it. And he wouldn't have.

Another time I had this really good friend that had moved across town to a different school. She was supposed to come over and spend the weekend at my house. We went out and when we came back there was this guy who was drinking out on the steps and tried to grab us and ask us if we wanted to party. She got scared I told her to run in the house. After she got past him he grabbed me and was trying to touch me. I told him if he didn't get his paws off of me I would cut his balls off and feed them to him. He watched me go inside where I lived . My friend was inside my closet crying, my mom frantic wanting to know where I was and what happened ,my little sister freaking out .I walk in my mom asked if I was ok and says she wants me to stay in my room. There was a pounding at the door until my mom goes to answer it ,doesn't open it but tells us to go in the other room.He tells her to open the door because he has a knife .She grabs a Huge knife and opens the door and says I got a knife too and trust me mine is bigger now leave my daughter alone .The next day when the friend went to go home she was still scared and she was afraid for me be to walking back by myself to go home . I never saw her again ,when they moved out of state I got a letter from her , a song she wrote out the lyrics too ,and a poem there was also a few pictures she sent me. I still miss the friendship. I hope she has done well for herself.

I loved my mom. I still do. She always protected me. She even protected my friends and I admired her even more for that.
