I had to tell him I would not be visiting again. If I witnessed the result of your behaviours it would be bad for you in court.

It is your property next door but as you are renting it you cannot control it. If you do not want him around just give a notice to them.

Your daughter does not realise how potentially dangerous you are in this situation. Many people should not have guns and he was in my opinion a prime example of one.

If his wife was still alive and knew he pulled a gun on their daughter . There would have been serious reprecussions.

He had asked me to tell him how to fix the rear shock towers in their ford station wagon a year or so earlier. On examining the vehicle . I told him it was impossible as the whole floor was just oxide. She was hit in this car not much later and it folded up and killed her.

A year or two later he shot himself. He had told me he might. I suggested at that time that if he was serious to leave a note and do not do it where the kids will find you. Of course he did neither.

I had asked some of his family to get him help when his wife died but they did nothing.I will never know if it ever dawned on him that he was partially responsible for his wives death. He let her go on driving a car that was very structurally unsound.
