That guy is a piece of work and obviously knows how to manipulate like a pro.
Don't feel bad, just accept it all as a lesson learned

I see you taking many good healthy actions, your kindness and light, and a great caring for yourself and others -- which is a wonderfully healthy order to have that in. Caring for self first. Then consciously choosing who else we care for.
Enjoy this being human. I'm glad you're safe, allowing and receiving support, and here with us. May you have much peace, and plenty of great adventures!
Namaste

I'm glad that you've decided to report him. Even if it doesn't benefit you, you increase the likelihood that the police will particularly be attentive the next time someone submits a report about him. It just makes it easier for them to put two and two together.
The fact that you eventually kicked him out and want nothing to do with him says loads. You're not second guessing yourself. You're not making excuses for him. I took a look at your old threads just for confirmation and it's clear that you've done the work. Like Hawkeye said, you made a lot of progress. You still have the right to claim that.

In my all my rambling I forgot to say - I'm glad you are ok!
I'm glad it wasn't worse and you were able to get him out of your place (and when I say "worse" I am not down-playing - I actually gasped out-loud when I read your original post on this).

I am so glad that talking about it makes you feel better. It’s tough to keep that kind of a secret; it eats away at you. I wish you continued peace. Please stay safe.
