  echo all the advice on here, run away from them, the are the very opposite of the "truth" they will bring you nothing to your life, just hatred, anger and bitterness, if you tell this "wonderfull" couple you study with some of the research you have been doing watch them drop you like you've got a contagious disease, not so great friends are they ?

  Shepparding calls/visits are probably the most neglected part of their busy enough schedule , we've already advised many here over the last couple of years to reject unanounced visits , text, voicemail and phone , if anything it may be harder to make contact with inactive ones .
