talked to my neighbor for support. She told me she knew he was a con artist the first time she met him. Could have sworn she said "gee, he seems like a really nice guy". Grrr... :-( she said i failed to set my boundaries. Since i have been coming back here, i have relearned what real support is. She said she would come over but she is "not good at stuff like that". She said to just tell him to leave... i do not negotiate well with con artists. Call me a whimp, but i would be a lot more comfortable with him on the other side of a locked door. I do not think safety is wimpy. do not even think i even owe the turd an explanation but will tell him in a note with his stuff...just do not like him, do not want him around, want him to leave me alone.
