Someone threatened to kill me

Last night I received a call from a blocked number with a weird robotic voice.

They told me they saw me sitting in my chair, what color the chair was, and they were coming for me. The call lasted 17 seconds.

I called 911 and the police took 19 minutes to arrive.

I'm in the southern US, have kids, have pets, and the absolute fear for those minutes was awful.

We own a second home ten hours away near my husband's job, so I drove there last night after the call. I'm still shaking.

I have a contentious custody case and my parents are still in a cult I escaped, so harassment and stalking is nothing new but this is the first death threat in several years.

I'm terrified. The court doesn't take this seriously enough. It escalates every time I report something. My new husband is worried. I can't leave the area I live in our I'll probably never see my older son again.

I'm so tired of being brave and resilient and strong and doing things. I just want to sleep in my closet while someone I trust stands guard so I feel safe.
