Home Security: Dealing with Ex-Boyfriends
A lot of us have been there. Have you ever had an ugly breakup? One where your boyfriend or girlfriend will not let the relationship go? This can be annoying, and even dangerous if your ex was abusive and controlling.
Breaking things off with a boyfriend who is controlling can be a scary prospect. This is especially true for someone who perhaps has already been physically, emotionally, or even sexually abused by a controlling boyfriend. That is why is is important to keep safety measures in place to protect you from getting hurt by him again.
The first thing to do is to have a support system put in place. Let your friends and family be there to support you. Ask them to be there with you when you break things off with them, to ensure he does not try to do anything harmful to you.
After the break up be smart about home security. If they were controlling there is a good chance they may have made copies of your keys. Be sure to change the locks of your home.
