I am going to attempt to explain why I am reluctant to go to the police about this, and I am fairly positive, I will get lambasted even more for it, than I have, for not going.
First of all, I have nothing to hide from the police, I am not afraid of them finding out anything about me, there is nothing to find out.
This is so hard to explain, but, even with me being fairly positive that this person is definitely up to what I think he is, (and there is really not a shred of doubt in MY mind) even after knowing that, I could not put his mother through the devastating heartache it would cause her if he got put in jail or prison because of it.
I know, I know, that doesn't make much sense because here he wanted me dead. And it is no sympathy for him, that I am not going to the police, it is only because of his mother.
Her and I no longer speak, or have any communication whatsoever, but there was a time when we were very close, we traveled extensively together, went to London, Spain, Italy and went on a 17 day cruise of the Mediterranean, I could go on and on, she was like a daughter to me, I loved her very much, and those feelings do not just go away..
But when her father passed away, things changed, or I should say they changed, when I got my own lawyer, only to protect my interests. The day she found out I retained a lawyer, she emailed me and said she had blocked me from her email, and she wanted no further communication with me. I was heartbroken, and tried very hard to make amends with her, but she would have no part of it.
This may seem odd to say, but I can actually understand where this guy is coming from. I think the entire family was of the mind set ,that they would all be on easy street as soon as "father" "grandfather" passed away.
In fact a friend of this guy told me. the guy had told him , he would have no financial difficulties once his grandpa died.
And the guy that I think is orchestrating this whole thing, is low man, on the chain of funds being handed out. So, I am sure he has went to his mom for money at one time or another, and she has refused him ,whatever he asked for ,using the excuse of having to write me a check that week, or whenever. So, I am a total thorn in his side.
But, I can still see where he would be so ticked off about the whole thing cause from the time he was even able to understand things, he had it in his mind that the world was his oyster, when grandpa died. And then, to have a wrench thrown into the equation, he is fuming. (and I am not referring to myself as a wrench, just anything that derailed his way of thinking is what I mean)
Maybe it has not thoroughly sunk in what he was actually going to do, or I should say , have done. I have no idea, but I could not endure the heartbreak it would cause his mother if I involved the police, and they brought it all out in the open. Which I am more than certain they would do.
So, I am trying my damnedest to not have to involve them at this point, and I sincerely believe his mother will tell him exactly what the consequences of his actions would cost him. I think he was thinking he was tom slick, and would not get caught. don't all criminals?
However, If I continue to see things that do not look or feel right, I will go to the police.
