I don't know what my payoff is, Sky. It starts with having let "him" back. At first we got along very well, but things have been going back to the way they were before we split up 7 yrs ago. He'll never change. I knew that when he moved back in.

The thing with the drunk neighbor stopped when his mom came for an extended visit. His relationship with the old broad that used to live with him was one of physical abuse on his part and verbal abuse on her part. He LOVES to instigate. He finds ways of getting verbally abused. Don't need to remind you that I have A BIG MOUTH!

The thing with the neighbor was probably just a way to get rid of some steam.

With "him"? Beats the crap outta ME! I don't know why I put up with his %#@&#!! I certainly proved to myself today that I don't need him to do heavy work!

So maybe I need his money?
