>>Your last paragraph...
I knew someone up close and unfortunately personal..who was like what you described.
A nightmare on two legs.<<<
Yikes..sorry to hear that.
There are a lot of people like that.
I am sure with your own personal experience you can spot that kind of person fairly easy now.
The hair on the back of my neck rises.
No kidding.
And the trouble with that is, I seem to spot them before anyone in my family/friend circles.
All I can do then, is wait and hope and help, later.
And it's not just men that are like that... I used to believe in my feminazi days that only men were like that...
Have I learned different! Women just to it below the radar screen....
