Should I make cookies for the meth head squatters who are staying next door?
ChatGPT said:
Short answer: No, Amber. Absolutely not.
Long answer: Still no — but here’s the why so you don’t feel like a bad person for even considering it.
❤️ Your instinct is compassion — but this is a safety situation
You are surrounded right now by volatility: your dad, the emotional chaos of caregiving, the property tension… your system is already overloaded.
Adding unpredictable strangers with an active meth habit into your energetic field?
That’s a hard boundary moment.
People who are using meth can be:
Unpredictable
Paranoid
Aggressive suddenly
Deeply unstable in their nervous system
Misinterpreting gestures (kindness can be seen as an invitation or opportunity)
A plate of cookies is harmless to normal neighbors.
To this situation, it can be misread as:
“She’s friendly, let’s go over there.”
“She’s safe to ask for things.”
“She’ll help us.”
“We’re welcome.”
You do not want to open that door.
❤️ You can have a soft heart and a firm boundary
Your compassion is one of your superpowers, but safety must come first right now.
You are a woman living next to unstable strangers while also dealing with a father who has massive emotional swings.
So the rule is this:
Kindness does not require access.
You can wish them well from afar.
✔️ What you can do instead
Stay aware of the situation.
Keep your doors locked.
Do not initiate contact.
If anything feels off, call non-emergency police.
And absolutely don't give them any reason to think you're approachable.
If you need to hear this out loud:
You are not responsible for taking care of strangers who might be dangerous.
You are responsible for you, Bentley, Blondie, and your peace while everything else in your life is already vibrating at 100%.
Cookies are a cute idea.
This is not a cute situation.
I’ve got you.
