What is the name of your state? California
I'm concerned that I am being harrassed by someone who NOT mentally stable. This woman has demonstrated no sense of boundaries. I don't know what she'll do next. I am filing for a civil restraining order tomorrow, but I don't believe this will stop her. My fear is that she may approach me at my apartment or my place of work, and since I do not believe she has any idea of "right and wrong," I fear for my safety. How can I defend myself -- yes, I'm wondering about physically defending myself but not with a gun or a weapon other than my hands or pepper spray, I guess -- without getting myself arrested? What needs to occur for an assault to be considered self-defense?
I don't know if this sounds like a crazy post, but I'm being driven nearly insane by her actions and I'm now envisioning scenarios I've never considered before. Maybe I need the typical "rude awakening" that I know can occur from the replies I see here. I don't think I'm thinking clearly. I am very afraid of what could happen. (and yes, psychological help is on the way just after I file for that restraining order).
Thank you.
