[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 747425, member: 1233"] It is so hard to know what to do in a situation like this. I do think you need to prepare yourselves to be able to act defensively if YS does attempt to harm you. It is up to you how you choose to defend yourself. You probably can take some basic safety precautions such as keeping lights on outside all night, always being aware of your surroundings, etc.... If you have an automatic garage door, NEVER get out of the car until the door is all the way down and you have looked around the garage. Also do NOT leave your driveway until the door is fully closed. Most garage doors have sensors that stop the door is there is something in the way. A soccer ball can be rolled under the door and that will trigger it to go up. If you leave before the door is all the way down, it is really easy for someone to send it back up again (with most automatic garage door openers). Chances are the police won't be much help. They can help with basic safety tips and maybe tell you where to find a self defense class, but until YS makes a threat to you or he is violent to you, they won't be able to offer much to really help. Not because they won't want to help, but because the law won't let them. I am sorry you are having to cope with this. [/QUOTE]
