[quote=Anonymous]Oh my god, even I feel stressed and angry just reading about this jerk. OP, if you are rude to him, what’s the worst that can happen? He says something nasty to you and then severs ties? That’s a big win! A PP said it right: he is abusive. And he doesn’t care about your mother or about you, he wants to use you both, and he needs to be give a very clear message that he is not welcome now or ever. Your mother asked you to take care of it, and you need to do so for her sake.

“Larlo, as you’ve heard, Mom is moving and she told you it’s not a good time for you to visit her. I understand you decided to come anyway, and I hope you enjoy your trip. But she’s not going to be able to see you, and she asked me to let you know.  She has your contact info and will be in touch down the road, after she’s settled in a few months.  Take care.”  If he asks for her contact info, don’t give it to him. In fact, you can say that she’s asked you not to share it. That may help him get the point that she’s not interested in him. And I like PP’s suggestion about warning the facility administrators that he should not be allowed in and they should call you if he ever shows up. If he shows up at your door, don’t let him in, tell him it’s not a good time, and wish him a good trip. (There’s always a hotel available, so there’s no sob story he can con you with.)

Be direct, be blunt, and do this for your mom. [/quote]
