Torpid thanks for reply

Hi, thank you for your reply. I would not be surprised if the person I wrote about indulged in emotional abuse. I just hope he would not go as far as your friend's partner - I think the girl my subject lives with is protected by having a fairly rough father and brother - otherwise she would have a much harder time. Another weird thing about this young man - he adores lighters, always buying new ones and almost making collections of them. I find his behaviour , especially his lying, very very worrying, his poor mother is made a dupe of many times. Jemmmy
