My name is Gene. I am the protector of LA-ML. There are things going on that me and the other insiders do not like. One of the housemates is always being mean and not caring who she hurts. LA-ML is very afraid of her. This housemate has already attacked one of the other housemates twice. First time she nearly cut the housemate's finger off by slamming it in the door. The second time she slammed the housemate's head into the wall. The staff do nothing about it other than make her go to her room. But five minutes later she comes out and they can not force us to stay in our room. This housemate is always saying that we have stolen tobacco from her and pop. Or at least that is what she is saying about us today. Thing is is that she has two locks on her door that she keeps locked at all times. Only she and staff have keys to her lock. I am pretty sure this housemate is stealing tobacco from us.
I don't know who to turn to because staff do nothing. LA-ML is afraid to stand up to her and so am I mostly for LA-ML's sake. Does anyone have any ideas of what I could possibly do to make things better for us. I mean we talk to our T and our crisis advocate and they get upset for us. Staff tease LA-ML when we let them know who they are talking to. So we made the deal with our T that we would only talk by email and if she thinks she needs to tell someone at our group home that she will call and not tell them who emailed her. And that after each session she will make sure that LA-ML is the one in control.
Thanks,
Gene
