[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 113356, member: 1991"] A serious suggestion here, I don't know how far you can take it. You can't say anything to him, you can't give ultimatums, threaten or anything like that, until you can DO something without too much fuss. Forget about disconnecting the 'Net. Go to the top. Disconnect the household electricity. You need to plan this one a little bit ahead. You need to have warmth, cooking, lighting needs taken care of independent to electricity. But the Amish manage - so go Amish for a week. For us, we can disconnect the electricity by removing the fuses from the fuse box outside. If you can't access this, or are nervous about going near electricity, you can ask a neighbour to help, or you might even be able to go to the company you buy your electricity from, and ask them to disconnect you. If YOU are the account-holder, and especially if you warn them, he will not be able to get it reconnected. And if he does somehow, miraculously, manage to get it reconnected, then he is sufficiently savvy to get a place on his own. He will also be more inclined to leave, if you keep doing unpredictable things which severely hamper his chosen lifestyle. Another thing you can do - get all the food out of the house. Give it to a neighbour and take all your meals with that neighbour. Of course, no meals for him - he doesn't live there any more, not officially. You could even do this in concert with the electricity thing (especially if you cook with electricity). You would need to shut off the fridge and freezer anyway, if you cut off the electricity, so again - get a neighbour in sweet with you first, make sure they have freezer/fridge room. Prepare as if you are going away for three months' holiday. Clear out all your food, entirely. No tins, no packets, nothing. You could simply store non-perishables in a lock-up somewhere, or in boxes at the neighbour's. If he attacks you, call the police. But do not physically provoke him. That way, you will be entirely in the clear. Marg [/QUOTE]
