    Bottom Line
    Follow your instincts! If it looks like a rat, smells like a rat and sounds like a rat, it is a rat!!!!! If for any reason you have even the slightest feelings of doubt about this person, leave! Going out the back door may seem cold, but it's better than being abused, raped or worse.
