Only because I can relate, somewhat. My father was a prankster, and loved ... LOVED ... scaring the crap out of me, and anyone else he could. I should blog about this; way too long for a reply here. Needless to say, I have issues when it comes to being alone, or in the dark, or worse, alone IN the dark. *shiver* I make a "trail of lights" when I walk from one room to the other at night. I feel your fear! .-= Shelli´s last blog...<a href="http://blackroseheart.wordpress.com/2010/02/25/hibernation/" rel="nofollow">Hibernation</a> =-. Please forgive me, but I’m howling over here!

And really, 7 years is not enough time to get over that kind of terror! Had to laugh at how the dogs hid under the bed. Smart dogs! LOL. Wouldn't you?! Read your post and felt for the situation you are in right now. Kind of. My boss asked me to consider moving also... Good luck with your decision! .-= submom´s last blog...<a href="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheAbsenceOfAlternatives/~3/Co7yO0PSLwM/reading-comprehension.html" rel="nofollow">Do you know what you are reading to your children?</a> =-.

Even though I, like you, replay the scenes in my mind's eye repeatedly at at the MOST INCONVENIENT TIMES. Like when I'm in the shower. Or trying to fall asleep. Or home alone. But it's like an addiction. I love my scary movies!

Like when I’m in the shower.
Or trying to fall asleep.
Or home alone.

But it’s like an addiction. I love my scary movies! The scarier the better!!

Then one night while sleeping a meth addict decided to smash in my dining room windows with a bottle at 3:00 am screaming "give me the children". This was before I had my son or I would have lost my mind... However, I did have two dogs (a husky and a Labrador) that HID UNDER THE BED. Of course, now I always have that in the back of my head (it was like 7 years ago but I still can't forget it) so every noise makes me jump when my husband isn't home. What a big crybaby! Maybe I'll look into that alarm system - the dogs are obviously no help. .-= Stephanie´s last blog...<a href="http://misadventuresofaworkingmom.blogspot.com/2010/02/should-we-stay-or-should-we-go.html" rel="nofollow">Should we stay or should we go?</a> =-.

LOL. My husband once hid at a corner and then jumped out at me. I about killed him. I made him swear that he would never ever do that to me again otherwise he would die an ugly death.

I am so anal retentive though, having a big dog would probably send me over the edge... Plus, you need to remember to feed your dogs right? If I forget to feed my kids, they rummage through the pantry and feed themselves. I do have the best kids. ;-) Big dogs seem to be getting the most votes here!
