Women Who Live Alone Are Sharing The Things They Do To Help Them Feel Safer In Their Home

“Overall, I feel very safe living alone. However, I do keep a switchblade on my nightstand. My sister’s mother-in-law (another independent woman) gave it to me when I moved out on my own. Someone has banged on my door in the middle of the night a couple of times, so it feels good to have the blade beside me.”
