Hi all! Not sure if this is the right place for this but I’m honestly looking for my mama heart/worries to be put to rest. I have lived in a quiet neighborhood or the country my entire life, I rented from my parents since my oldest was born who’s now 3.5, we finally got our own apartment complex chub is exciting to have our own space BUT I’m struggling with sleep because of the noises and being paranoid. I feel like its common for neighbors to be noisy yeah? I keep thinking someone is busting in here but everytime I go scope out the place it’s just the neighbors kids probably monkeying around. Which I am totally cool with as long as I know no one is trying to break in. I don’t even have anything worth stealing if they broke in but have a bigger fear of being raped or something happening to my boys. (3.5 and 11mos). I feel like since I keep to myself it helps? But it worries me being considered attractive and people noticing that I’m alone with my kids. It’s not the best area, but not the worst, it’s a gated community but it’s easy to sneak in behind someone. Is it super common to completely randomly targeted for any kind of break in / crime in an apartment complex.

This is seriously my biggest fear in reality, but also a major stepping stone, I’ve always feared living alone as if something happened I would hate to be the only one esp with two young kids. But trying to handle it as best I can. I have extra locks on all the windows and doors, there’s one window I’m particularly concerned about though
