Big Tom,
Since you asked for help and advice, here's my two cents.
First, I have a hard time believeing that you found time to post during what you described as someone attempting to enter your home. All these melodramatic posts you make about being so fightened....and yet you repeatedly run back to the computer to "keep us updated"???
Either you were not really as afraid as you let on and just wanted some attention, or you have a very poor way of dealing with urgent, stressful matters.
If you're just a small kid, or somebody in their early teens, these posts can more easily be understood and excused. If, however, you're 18 or above and you acted this way.....you have some serious issues. From what you've written, that's NOT how to handle a possible home invasion.
You couldn't wake your father???? So, if the house was on fire, you could not have woke him up????
You're so afraid that you feel physically ill, yet you are composed enough to post on a forum? You posted repeatedly about your physical condition and how you felt. Why?
Lot's more I could say, but I don't want to seem harsh to you. You should most certainly invest some time and money into getting some qualified instruction from someone who can teach you, at the very least, some basic and rudimentary skills for better dealing with events like what you claim had just happened to you.
Bottom line....if someone is trying to get into your house, call 911, gun up if you have a weapon and stay put somewhere in your home that you feel is safe until the police arrive.
Oh, and in case you didn't know this either, put the weapon down before you answer the door.
