I would take one basic lesson in self defense. In a matter of an hour you can learn some basic moves to keep yourself safe... it's designed for protection in a mugging by a stranger.. but it would help you be safe at home too! Maybe you can even find the information online? Some tips are really simple, but will help you feel safer (and you will be!)

I'm glad you are able to work and get out of this. I'm sorry noone believes you. TC!
