Would be replaced immediately if I perished, yet feel guilt because I want to call out so bad.
I work in a group home. The one male I take care of is violent specifically toward young female women that he knows he can overpower. Does not attack men. He has attacked me every single shift for a week 1/2 straight. I feel bad because I know it’s not his fault and I’m supposed to be able to handle this. I’ve worked with him for five months with only a few weeks of him not being violent with me out of the whole thing. I attend to his every need. I let him do whatever he wants because that’s his right as established by the law. I had a nightmare about him last night after being back at work since Thursday.
And despite all of this the cheap asses refuse to double staff the home. And I still am nervous to call off. Fml.
