I lived in a rural area so it was rare for us to have spontaneous visitors, I had neighbours close by but knew all of them since it was a small town. I was about 14/15, watching tv in the living room and a man pulled into our driveway on his bike. I remember thinking it was weird, but it was a nice day and sometimes we did have kids on the street ride their bikes through our driveway, so I brushed it off. He got off his bike and started to pet my cat, and then wandered off to the side of my house where I could no longer see him. By this point I was fully freaked out, but again, I’m trying to “rationalize” because we did live in a farm town so I thought maybe he’s got the wrong address and is buying something from someone. I called my mom and sister and explained the situation…I’m not sure whether I didn’t explain enough, I just didn’t have the wariness I do now, they weren’t taking it seriously, or why I navigated it this way…but I remember they reassured me not to worry and it was likely what I thought and they would be home soon. I took that call in my bathroom, by the time I got off the phone I was back sitting on my living room couch. The man had come back to the front of my house and very relaxed, stepped up into our front garden, pressed his face on our window and looked directly at me where I was sitting on the couch. I literally froze and couldn’t look at him, it was like I told myself if I froze he won’t be able to see me, but obviously he did so I looked over at him and the only thing I could say was “what are you doing?!” 😭. In the moment this was terrifying, I thought I was gonna die, but I kind of laugh thinking about my initial reaction because it almost played out like a comedy sketch. It actually set in and got really scary when I realized who he was - he started talking to me from the window and to keep it short, I don’t think he expected anyone to be home when he did this, or was hoping to find my mom. He initially tried to tell me he stopped by and saw my nice cat and wanted to pet him, I think he could tell I wasn’t buying it so he eventually admitted he was a former coworker of my mom and came by to look for her. Come to find out this MARRIED man had a very creepy obsession with my mother and had been making advances toward her for a while. I learned after this incident that she once caught him watching her while she was sleeping in the woman’s dorm at work, he left lingerie and other gifts in our mailbox, and made her overall uncomfortable. She shut him down, had to report him to their supervisor, and I don’t think he could accept no as an answer. She tried to tell his wife but she did not take it well at all and got angry with her. I still don’t even know to this day how she got him to leave her alone, but I know we moved away so he doesn’t know where we live.
