angel friends, there's been an awful incident here involving jenn. she got arrested.
first, i'm very sorry , and deeply saddened on the entire behalf of my entire family and i, that this isn't a normal journal, but of a very awful incident that occurred here earlier,right after a baking friday adventure. this is very hard to write, but needs to be shared. first,we all are ok, but are extremely shock, and saddened by the events of this late afternoon and early evening. my sister jenn, had a very violent, sickening, and terrible outburst here, that led to 3 police officers having to be here. a short while ago, i was in the middle of our road here, county fair, right in front of our house, talking to 3 police officers, as a witness to an assault, on 2 people, by my sister jennifer. she assaulted Kayla, and myself. this was very bad. i first want everyone to know, Kayla and i are ok. as i write this, i have no idea, if jenn was arrested out front, but i'm very proud i went outside to tell the police, what happened earlier. i just need to write, because my chest is beating fast, like my heart is out of sync, but i'm ok, and Holly is here with me. my sister jenn, is a very violent, emotionally abusive, and horrible person, and this type of behavior of hers, has gone on, for years, and it has impacted, and effected so many relationships in our family. right now, many of us, want absolutely nothing to do with her. UPDATE. jenn has been arrested.
i'm shaking here as i write this. this is what went down. baking friday began around 3pm. my sister jenn, she doesn't get along, with my niece Alyssa. it has been like that for years. we had a baking friday, and it surprisingly went well, we finished baking up around 4pm. what happened next, turned very violent within the next 15 minutes. my mom, jenn, hunter, mikey, and carter went out back. Kayla and the triplets and Brody were indoors. alyssa came here around 4pm. they all went out back, to join my mom, jenn, and the kids. Holly and i put a plate of brownies together, we went outside, to join everyone, the kids were swimming, and also jumping on the trampoline. carter and one of the triplets (brayden) collided, and both were ok. jenn got very mean, and started mouthing off at my mom, and alyssa. kids are kids, they collide, and get back up, but jenn wouldn't let it go. Holly and i got the kids playing basketball, but jenn wouldn't let it go. Alyssa feared for herself, and the triplets and brodie, so she left. she knows jenn is violent. Holly and i came in through the backdoor, and came downstairs. we heard kayla, who was very upset, about how jenn started all of this argument, and is very pushy person, she's uncomfortable to be around 95% of the time. she's a bully, plain and simple. i was downstairs, with Holly here, and all of a sudden, we heard Kayla screaming, and jenn yelling.
i ran upstairs, i look around the door, i see jenn pushing/shoving kayla right into the kitchen sink area, where knives are, it broke our sink, Kayla hit jenn in the face with a water bottle and ran, and i was shocked. i yellow for my mom ,and dad, didn't know where they were. i saw jenn chasing kayla out the door, i yelled, "please stop". jenn chased kayla into the road, i heard kayla scream. "please don't hurt me, don't kill me", as jenn chased her. i ran out back, my mom was with the kids, i told her what happened, i came back indoors, i locked the front door, to lock jenn out, but wanted kayla to be ok, left the backdoor open. my mom flew into the backdoor, and i said, "where's dad, Jenn is trying to hurt Kayla!!" i said i was gonna call lisa, and jenn said, she was gonna hurt lisa if she was here. my dad was in the other part of the house, i ran in there, told him, he came out. jenn was yelling at my dad, and i said, "this is awful, we don't need violence here", and jenn said, "oh year chris, the kids are never baking with you again". i felt very heart-sinking feeling ,for jenn to tell me this, and i said, "jenn, FU, you started all of this violence here, and you assaulted Kayla". (i'm sorry for my language, but it seems it's the only language jenn can speak) jenn then threw something at me, it was a glass basket from the kitchen. she assaulted me. jenn said to my mom. "i'm never bringing the kids here again". my mom was very upset, and Kayla was out front, she called the cops on jenn. i called my sister lisa, to come home from dominos, i told her everything that happened.i came downstairs to see if Holly was ok, she has anxiety, and was frantic. i told her jenn hit me, and the cops are here. the cops questioned kayla, jenn, and then i went outside, i was in the middle of the front, and i told the cops the whole story. i was shaking, nervous, kayla was sitting on the side of the road, shaken. i told them everything that happened, and i told them, "i can't believe i'm in the middle of a road, on baking friday, talking with you officers, on a baking friday when i'm usually writing a journal". the cops were polite, and i told them about jenn's violentness, and how she's emotionally controlling and abusive to my mom, alyssa, and us all over the years, and we feel very bad, as we saw the kids having fun playing, and the cops icould see in their eyes, they were devastated when i told them, everything jenn does, and says, and how emotionally abusive she is. i never told anyone this, but jenn and family got their new home, because of me, i fronted their down payment, i gave them money, and saved them from eviction twice. it breaks my heart. the cops thanked me for telling them. i told them, it's upsetting, that because of jenn, the kids, can't play together, like normal kids, she is very controlling. i came back indoors, jenn was on our steps, she said words to me, "you gonna have me arrested", and i said, "jenn, i really hope you don't, but you are a violent person, and i am for peace".and i came indoors. i called Alyssa, and told her what happened after she left. Alyssa said, Jenn threatened to hit her kids, the triplets, brody, and that's why she left, we didn't hear that part earlier, because holly and i rushed indoors when jenn started to get violent. we're devastated, ashamed, and very upset with jenn. to tell everyone the truth, she's not a good person, and she has disrupted many family gatherings, times that should have been good, and for her to do this, she needs some sort of therapy, or something. it's very sad, alyssa, had to take her kids, back home, because she fears for their safety, because of jenn. our kitchen sink area is broken. my mom has put up with jenn so much, for her very controlling ways, and the list is a mile long. kayla is shaken, and lisa is very upset her daughter was assaulted, and that i was too. the cops asked me if i was ok, i said, "i'm fine", and showed them my left side where i got hit by a glass basket by jenn. see, just speaking up, saying. "please stop", and to restore peace to the home, it's very upsetting. the kids saw, how jenn was behaving, it's awful, and very sad. i really don't want anything to do with jenn. she's not the person she appears to be, on facebook, or any of her social media. Jenn Timon (married name Carrigan), and her husband Mike, got violent with his parents, at their last home, many fights, to the point where his parents needed them all to move out. these 2, are very upsetting and have shamed our entire family. to be honest, and i am being very honest here, there's lots of us here in our family, who don't want anything to do with jennifer, or mike, the kids we are so adoring of, hunter, mikey, carter, but this is the last straw. jenn and mike, both have brought such violence, whether it was here, or at my brother bobby's house, in 2011, or with mikey's parents, and now, these days still causing this violence. she has been violent toward Bobby also, and cost my mom a babysitting job in 1998.
who knows, what comes out of this, but this is unacceptable. i didn't press charges, because the officers didn't ask me, if i wanted too, and i don't know if kayla did, but this is very bad, what jenn did today. she truly, is a horrible person.
my sister Lisa just got home from work. She said, the cops arrested jenn. we are relieved, that they have arrested her. we all are very frazzled. this day,took such a turn. my heart is still beating fast. we are just feeling very frazzled, disheartened, and heart-broke. i was very prepared today, to put an amazing baking friday journal together, but all this happened. i am talking with Holly here, i told her, i'm so glad i went upstairs, and may have saved Kayla. jenn had her cornered in our kitchen, knives there, who knows, what would have happened, if i didn'tgo up, it's scary to think. we just need to rest this evening, and tonight, angel friends, please bear with us all. this has been a very emotionally traumatizing incident, and we are gonna need time, to heal from this. just hoping for the best, for everyone involved. i have nothing to say to my sister jenn, i want an apology though, and i believe kayla and all of us deserve one, and that would be a start, if there ever was to be, any sort of relationship in the future.

HI Sweet Chris, I'm so sorry that this happened with Jenn. I am upset that Jenn treated you this way. You don't deserve it especially after u helped them with a down payment to their new home twice. This sickens me that Jenn treated u all this way. I hope that u all get to see Jenn's kids and that you and Kayla will be alright. I'm so sorry Jenn acted this way. I can tell this was a very traumatic day for you all. I'm also very sorry she broke your kitchen sink & also could have hurt Kayla with knives. Sounds so traumatic. I know you r a very positive person & u don't need this and either does your mom, dad, Holly, Kayla and family. My prayers r with you all for this all to be resolved and for you all to have peace and for you all to be ok. Hugs & love FF
It does sound like Jenn has a problem. Is she on drugs or drink? It sound like she has kids and I fear for their safety. In fact I am glad that you and other family members were there to keep down a lot more violence (she was dangerously violent). No wonder she and her husband had violent fights. Your parents did not need that and you did not need violence at your home. I bet she is not welcomed by other family members because of her behavior.
Hi Chris and Holly. So very sorry that you had to go through this terrible incident. However I am so proud of you for stepping in and helping Kayla. Who knows what would have happened if you hadn't stepped in. I feel badly for her kids. That is not something they should have witnessed. She may even lose the boys after being arrested. I know in Pennsylvania she would lose the kids for being arrested because of a violent situation. Child Welfare would have stepped in as soon as she was arrested.
Please take it easy tonite and try to just put it behind you for the night. It is terrible when a family member does what Jenn did to other family members.
Will definitely keep you and Kayla and the rest of your family in my prayers tonite.
Hugs
John and Debbie
oh wow, I am so sorry this happened, Chris. It is obvious that Jenn has some kind of mental problems that she desperately needs help for. Where is all this anger and violence coming from? Has she always been like that? Can Mike take care of the kids or is he just as bad? Please take care of yourselves, I pray things turn out well. big hugs
I’m so sorry:(. Sounds like Jenn needs therapy and you need an order of protection. Thank goodness you helped tell the story to the police. You’re a hero. Sending gentle healing hugs to you and your family.
OMG I am so sorry that this happened and am glad that you and Kayla are both ok. Good for you for making sure that kayla was ok, that was very brave of you!! Hopefully once they release your sister she will get the help she needs from a therapist or meds!! I don't blame you for not wanting anything to do with her but I feel bad for the boys, they deserve to see and spend time with family and I know how much they love your baking Fridays together. Your sister could even loose the boys over something like this, especially if her husband is violent too, it's all a shame.
Will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers but especially those cute little boys
Sending gentle comforting hugs to all!!
Chris, I went back to this journal to read because of one you just wrote. I am so sorry this had to happen to your family. One thing about this, though that I thought about was your willingness to go outside and talk to the police with your anxiety issues. That really shows how strong you are. In the face of danger, you step up and handle yourself very courageously.
I hope whatever becomes of this, that your family can get back to the sweet loving environment you had before. Give Kayla a hug for me. I feel for her having been there, listening from downstairs and being completely unable to know what to do but stay put.
Jenn needs help badly. It makes me wonder if her anger issues coupled with Mike's personality makes for a loving environment for the kids. Hopefully this incident will make them get help. I pray everything works out ok..I think it was great your journaled the incident and your thoughts today. Will go a long way towards your healing. xo
