there's an old saying around here : "don't feed the bears"... as long as you tolerate that behavior, it will escalate, and one day,,, you don't want to go there... learn self defense, invite a 3rd party who will support you,, Do NOT let him in the house while you are home alone~~~ these are the little things many young women learn the hard way... i sure hope you find some help,,, SOON~! best wishes,, Gus
