Disgruntled ex, wrath and fury

10 replies

Bookandpaper · 03/08/2023 14:27

I don't want to give away too much information. I have a disgruntled ex. I am the target of her wrath and fury. It's not physical violence. It's all pyschogical abuse from her - insults, mockery, threats, shaming, humilation. She called an end to us. I never cheated on her. I never ran after her or chased her and I think maybe that's what's angering her. I haven't seen her since 2016. We don't have any kids together. She maintains regular communications with me and she gets around blocks. She won't leave me alone. I live on the continent and the police never helped me. The only civil law open for me is a hugely expensive injunction. She's getting worse and worse. I don't respond to her. I thought she might get bored with me and give up. Sadly not.

Hello
What do you mean she gets around blocks?
Can't you change phone numbers contact details?
You need to make a record of her abusive mails and contact the police , her employer?
There must be something you can do do you live in a different country to the ex?
She sounds not the full ticket, since 2016?
I am really sorry for your troubles.

Wow, what a nut job!

do you have enough information to be able to get an injunction. I think it might be worth the money.

Do you think she could be shamed into stopping e.g. if you forwarded an email to her parents and asked them to get her to stop, telling them you will never ever speak or communicate with her again.

delete all socials including LinkedIn and ask work to modify your email address (e.g. from name.surname@xyz to initialSurname@xyz) and tell them why.

Do you have any friends in common still? Change your number, change your email and tell them why- show them the messages, and say you will get the injunction.

She's blocked on Facebook and I don't have any other social media. She gets around the blocks using fake profiles. If she's not using fake profiles, it's my email address. She doesn't have my new number. When she's angry enough she goes down the route of smearing and shaming me to my employer and friends.

The good news is, nobody really listens to her. However this is difficult for me. I thought she would die down and go away but she still maintains focus on me and just causing chaos.

It's clear she wants a few things and she wants me to engage and answer her interrogation of me. There is no answers.

She has a version of me in her head and she wants to expose me if I don't engage with her. So far I have given her fuck all. She won't stop and she's only escalating.

I don't have the funds for an injunction.

Are you both in the same country?

No we are not in the same country. We used to be. Not any more.

I considered contacting her employer or some of her friends and forwarding on her messages/emails. The content shows and angry tone and just a nasty attitude towards me. But I do t know if that will make her worse again.

I already changed my number but that only helped a little bit because she found other ways. I don't have a major online presence. I don't have much at all and I feel now that, that's not the answer any more. She's determined. If she won't get me one way, she will get me another way. Currently she's targeting my email. I have it directed into a different folder however that's not the full answer, not any more. She's targetting every other aspect of my life - my work and my family.
