[QUOTE="Star*, post: 97948, member: 4964"] Tina, Get your locks changed IMMEDIATELY and send the bill to your mgmt. company. They may have given him a key at one time and he thinks it's ok to come in if he has a key. But DO get the locks ALL OF THEM changed. Check all your window locks as well and make sure all the screens are in place or storm windows (depending) As far as him washing paint in your sink - well that's just dumb. There are latex, exterior house paints - but DF is a plumber and would just cringe if I EVER washed a brush off in the sink. And yes, it DOES matter - it's your home. As far as following you to the back - Lock your door behind you when you come in from now on. EVERY TIME. What he did was not normal behavior. He's not your brother or your best friend. As far as the literature. I would hand it back to him and tell him that you've discussed it with your pastor and will continue to have all religious conversations in regards to things you aren't sure about with the shepherd of the flock you belong to. I would not be rude to him, but the mgr. telling him he can't come in unless invited is weak. He'll invite himself since he has already figured out that you won't stand up to him. Don't feel bad, most women won't. For a time - you may even want to get a po box. I have been stalked and worse, and I'm not a worry wart. I'm just cautious and educated. Also I would get a little spray can of mace or pepper spray for your key ring. As far as him signing for the package and putting it in your home? THAT would be a HUGE HUGE no no and I would confront him but I'm me and I'm not nice - you, are nice, but you don't have to be ugly to get your point across. Its YOUR home. YOU pay the rent and YOU have a right to your privacy. I just don't' think you can be too careful anymore. And the next time he comes to the door to ask to use your bathroom, politely say "I'm sorry we've had an incident here recently (doesn't have to know it's him) and I'm not allowing anyone into our home." WHen you are talking to him use words like WE< OUR not I and my. Don't be afraid to be afraid - just put a stop to it now. Hugs Star [/QUOTE]
