Beatrice,

First off, I just want to thank you so much for checking in on my thread, and for your thoughts and concern.

I have found that my Dog is even afaid of my H. He is just too loud when he is drunk, and my dog hates loud noises. So when ever my H would Finally pull in the drive way home from the bars these past few months, my Dog actually has started to go to the farthest back closest in our house and hides. She used to greet him at the door. Funny, ha - even the Dog can sense his hostilaty.

With that said though, I feel bad you have to deal with that meaness. Its like he's still a teenager being rotten and mean. Stay as far away from it as possible. As a health teacher for many years, I would teach my students that when people are rotten and mean to you or pick on you, etc... it is usually because they are so insecure of themselves, and/or jealous of you. Just remember every time he points the finger at you there are 4 fingers pointing right back at him.
Thanks again,
TIPPER
