Is it normal to be scared to be home alone?

So one day in April my brothers best friend who lives down the street from us calls me saying someone just broke into his house while he was home alone. I call the police, they come, yada yada yada they find out the guy who broke in has broken into 18 houses in my neighborhood and rapes and kidnaps kids. So after that night I refuse to be home alone again. Everytime I am, I'm on the phone with my boyfriend. I'm 5'5 115lbs so I'm little. and I've seen too many csi episodes where kids get raped Nd kidnaped. My bf assures me nothing is going to happen but I'm still paranoid. Is this normal?

    Dude, where do you live? I'd say it's normal that you're afraid....

    I watch alot of documentaries, true stories ect. I feel the exact same way... I feel scared when I am alone too :( It sucks, I try not to think about being scared, but then I just get more fearful.

    We're so similar. I'm 5 feet exactly and 110 and i watch CSI all the time. I was raped when i was little so its a serious phobia for me. Maybe we should talk. :)

    make sure that if he does com, you're ready. don't be afraid to kill if your life is in danger but always try to run first

    I think it' s not normal. They got the guy already and this kidnaping and raping thing is just in your head now
