I am feeling better. I made a mistake by moving in to a smaller house in my complex and getting back with Dirk. He conned or played me, he was all nice and everything was great.

Well, since the day of the move, all hell has broken loose. My friends noticed the change of his behavior that day, he was rude to them and yelling, his friend too. He is drinking more and everything is his, HIS HOUSE, and it's you better DO THIS NOW!!!! Screaming in a drunken rage, which puts him in a paranoid, jealous mind set. I am surprized the neighbors did not call the police over the weekend, I really am.

I had my bedroom door locked with my dogs, and he said if I didn't open it, he would bust it open, so I did open it. maybe I should of let him, then when the cops would of come, they would see the drunken stupor he was in and a broken door and taken him away.

Throwing me out, calling me everyname and then some in the book. My name is on the lease too though. Threating me if I don't do this, he will throw my stuff out and things like that.

Now, here I am totally TRAPPED. I will only leave the house when he is at work.

Said he is sick of being a zoo keeper, meaning taking care of my dogs and birds when I was in the hospital a week ago. Said he didn't want the dogs on the furniture, oh his furniture,most of the things in this house is mine. He even screamed at me when I was in the hospital over the phone about the animals, telling me he wasn't going to give one of my dogs his medication.

Says I don't do anything around here, well first of all, some things I can't due to my lower back. Then I was in the hospital and then in bed recuping, not knowing if I was going to have to go back to the hospital.

Yesterday, I steam cleaned the rugs, cleaned the birds cage, dusted, etc.

He said if I don't have the spare room in order (because we still have boxes with things in them, that we have to find room to put, most of it his.) He would start throwing things out, starting with my laptop, when he gets home.

My dogs are a wreck, they haven't eaten, hope they do today while he is at work. My female shakes when he yells, my male goes outside and just looks in through the doggy door afraid to come it.

This morning, I told him and took my keys to my car. You can't take MY car, just like this is YOUR house. He asked where my dogs pills where, I said I have them I will take care of it, you don't need to be zoo keeper anymore as he says.

I told him if he thinks that the spare room is going to be all set up nice, he can forget it, and if he thinks he is going to start tossing things out, there will be a problem.

He was very humble and timid, and said I am not going to do anything. Damn straight. He had been drinking all day Sat and Sun, so he must feel really crappy, yesterday he had the shakes, so he went on to get drunk and nasty again.

Bottom line, I am TRAPPED, no way out. I don;t have the money to just pick up and get moved, never mind finding a place that will take 2 dogs, well there probably are places, but no matter anyway.

I can't believe I was so stupid, yet I was in a vunuable state of mind in Aug, and really I still am to some point with all that has transpired.

HELP.................thanks for letting me vent. Hugs, NIKKO
