I am about 6 months pregnant, and my fiance and i moved into a new apartment in Oklahoma City where he found work... we are VERY tight on money as i havent been able to work in a very long time because i was in a car accident (broke all of my ribs and both legs) and then of course now i'm pregnant and as big as a house. so naturally we had to look for pretty much the cheapest apartment we could find... So we found a cute little apartment complex in southeast OKC, it was kind of a run-down neighborhood but it seemed nice enough. The only thing I didnt like was that we live on the ground floor and I don't feel safe. Things went well for about two weeks, besides that some pipes bust in our apartment and management wouldnt do anything about it, but that wasnt surprising due to the extremely low rent of the apt (around 200/mo). but at 3 o clock this morning, i woke up (since i got pregnant i wake up many times a night and have to get up and walk around) and i looked out the window and noticed someone milling around outside. I thought maybe he was just a tenant but he was wearing black gloves and had a crowbar. He walked by our window and I got so scared that i had to wake up my fiance, and he discovered he didn't have any cell service and couldn't call the police. So anyway, the guy went away, but neither of us could get back to sleep, and at around 4, we heard a LOUD crashing noise in the apartment above us.. soon there was screaming, a woman yelling "NO" over and over and a man beating her and then there was just silence, we found out later that the woman in the apartment complex above us, a single 68 year old woman, was raped and then killed by this guy. the police showed up and everyone in the apartment went outside and we were all crying, another couple noticed that i was really upset and they stayed in our apartment with us that night so we'd feel safe. anyway, i can't get over this... i have literally never been this upset or disturbed. i've been throwing up all day. I'm putting this in pregnancy because I'm seriously worried that all this stress will hurt my baby. I have been physically sick all day and crying, i can't eat, i don't know if I can ever eat again. i literally am feeling suicidal, which i never have felt before. the world is just so sick :/ Please, just someone tell me it's ok. I want to move out of here so badly.... Read More »
