be careful.... (hugs)

Pat, I am sorry you are going through all this...in some ways, it kinda frustrates me that I can't do anything for you. But, I hope you know that at least I care and I will do anything I can to help out. PM me if you want to chat.

I donated but it was in Canadian dollars, will it be accepted? In PayPal, the status is still unclaimed.

Pat, sweetie, you know how sad (and angry) I am that this happened to you. If I had the world, I would give it to you. Unfortunately (as you know), I just quit my job, so all I have to offer right now is emotional support. E-mail me anytime.

Big hugs... xoxooxox

Pat,

I think that is horrible that he is coming around your home. You need to be very careful & don't go out alone.

I remember how I felt with that home care person for my Mother......she knew that I filed a report with Adult Protective Services against her the day after she OD'ed my Mother.....when I walked out to my car that morning to go file the police report & then go to the hospital to be with my Mother.....I was afraid to even get into the car to drive it for fear she had done something to it.......then when I was on the way to the police station, as I was coming up to the corner to turn to the police station.....she was following me in the car right behind me.

Needless to say, I never went back to stay in my Mothers house after that since I was alone & really was afraid of what she might do to keep me quiet.

Your fear of him should be very real.....especially if he is using.....you never know what their minds will tell them to do in order to protect themselves......& their judgments aren't very good considering what he did to you financially.

Take care of yourself......& beware & be safe....most of all. Glad you called the police. At least they are aware that he is around your house.....maybe that will make him think twice before trying anything.

Don't mean to scare you......just want you to take care of yourself.....these people can't be trusted....they are horrible,

You are in my prayers,
Debbie

Thanks for doing this doc! I'm in awe of so many wonderful people who pull together to help another human being. Just when you think the human race is sinking, something like this comes along!

Pat - keep your chin up. Maybe a reason will come through of why you needed to go through such a terrible experience. You have many people here who are about you, so at least that was one positive.

Dry those tears girl! Don't let him continue to hurt you!

Fayerody I am sending your caring thoughts and prayers....be safe..

Everyone who has talked me through this and helped me get through this next month.......THANK YOU . you'll never know what everything means to me. The messages and PMs are awesome and I love you all.

I am humbled that so many did so much. I've laughed and cried and fumed and fussed and you all have been patient and supportive through this past five days. It seems like a month, but it's five days.

I've been betrayed before. And it always hurts. One thing that happened this time is that I lost a friend. There will be no going back and that saddens me, because we were close and had a lot in common. So, I've had to experience a lot of different emotions in a short time.

I am going forward with the case and he's being charged with credit card fraud. He may disappear and never be punished. My sister, who also loved him, was a bit surprised that I am pressing charges. I told her that if he's caught and incarcerated, it might help him. If I don't do anything and something else happens, I would always think that I might have prevented it.

Am I making any sense now? My mind is really exhausted after all of this.

This is a wonderful community and I had no idea I had so many friends here.

I know I have a safe haven and that really means more than you'll ever know. love, pat

I'm glad to hear the goal was reached.

[biiv]

what you re saying makes total sense to me pat and i agree with you about pressing charges. it doesnt have to mean you hate him or want revenge which i know you are not about. it can as you say be actually about trying to help him and protecting others.
im sorry this hurts so much and wish it hadnt happened. take as much care of yourself as you can right now. you re in my thoughts.
