Thanks antigua, that was a very kind post. Yeah, I know about the police. Sigh. But legally, I do not have anything actionable to bring to them.
My home used to be my cave. I used to feel very safe here, but just a few (well, several -in fact lots of severals) calls can undermine that safety. Right now I know that I am not the focus of this man's rage, my friend is. As long as I can keep the focus off of me, and give him no reason to focus on *me*, then even without the police this has a chance to resolve. I don't answer or engage him in anyway. I may have to move however. Safety is a hard thing to recapture once it's gone.
We had a really good run in my family without any violence, but, to be honest, this is largely because we didn't see much of each other. I was not involved in this particular incident, but sigh. It still affects me.
Your post meant a lot to me.
