How to get rid of weird ex?

Long story short. I met him in college 20 years ago and got back in touch. Thought it was ok but he started acting weird being overly close to my kids. I’m a single parent obvs so have no bubble as such, thought it would be ok to invite him over during lockdown. I started not wanting him around and he got really nasty.

Then I messaged, ended it and he wanted to be ‘friends’. So I said I suppose, cos I’m a soft touch but I definitely didn’t want him back and made that clear. He started ‘buying’ us making me think I need him as I’ve struggled on my own for 8 years with 2 kids. I fell for it for a bit but then when I opened up about social involvement that I had and was signed off, he started threatening me with them when I attempted to end it. I was decorating and he came round and wiped gloss paint on my new sofa, my daughter told me, luckily i got it off but I messaged saying why would anyone even do that? He didn’t respond apart from saying I can’t do this on text, we need face to face.

I’ve said I’ve ended this 3 times and he isn’t hearing me. I’m scared he will report me to SS as threatened, it won’t come across as malicious cos he has a manager in the family. I don’t trust him or them.

He made the most vile comments about me last time I ended it, I couldn’t possibly go back even if I wanted to. He said I was repulsive. He repulses me himself but I was kind enough not to say it.

Sorry for banging on but how can I get rid of him? He irritated the hell out of me before he sent me an essay of abuse

If you have stuff of his then you need to say it has been left out for collection at such a point and time, then cease contact.

You are putting yourself in a dangerous position by continuing to engage as harassment needs to be kept clear cut, for your protection.

Sounds really fucking dodgy. I'd contact the police and SS too and never see him again. Tell him his ladders are outside or is there a burly bloke that could drop them off at his?
Block him.
I think I'd also want to move house but have a very active imagination Blush

I’m the same. I’ve had stalky exes before so don’t really trust anyone. I work in a male environment and messaged saying one of the lads will drop them off so he doesn’t have to come round. Had no reply.

This is setting off so many creepy alarm bells in my head.
He’s clearly attempting to groom you and clearly has experience targeting vulnerable women. Even going so far to psychologically abuse you to crush your confidence.
Please report him to the police. And just block him and do not respond because these weirdos will do anything to get a response.

Just a thought... He isn't likely to start a fight with the guy dropping off the stuff is he???

He’s a beanpole and the lad I’ve asked is massive, not aggressive but hopefully will help

This pattern of behaviour is text book, the love bombing then the abuse, then the huge apologies and repeat. Each time breaking you down a little bit more. Don't let it get that far. Get the ladders off your property, do not engage for any reason.
