Queenteree,
I am sorry that you are having to go through this grief.
About whether you caused this- He was in your house to do something wrong.
You did not hurt him with that tap- he was being ridiculous and in your face.
Taking his anger out on you.
I would be afraid of his mental state, personally, and get myself protected.
show up in court.
get out of the way of his bottom.
he is making his bed and making you lie in it too.
get mad- that is great advice, for it will get you thinking , and you need to protect yourself- financially and physically.
sorry for the pain, but he is not wanting to be a good person right now, and needs to feel some pain.
he will financially ruin you if he can, due to his sickness.
take care of you-
chicory
