Can I do anything about this estranged family member harassing me?

[SillyPlumReader]

I have some members of my family that I have not spoken to in a few years- for a very good reason.
One of them keeps writing letters to me, trying to force me to get in contact.
I want nothing to do with these people.

First she was sending letters to my home, Now I've moved she sends them to a chemist she knows I use frequently! I couldn't believe she had taken a letter and left it with the chemist to pass to me that has happened twice

Now today I'm in town doing some shopping and she comes up to me shouting that I'm an awful person because I didn't go to a family members funeral and I should be ashamed.

Anything I can do about this ? I don't want to have to worry about her shouting at me every time I go shopping

Ask the chemist to dispose of the letters. If she approaches you again then ignore her and walk away. Tell her she's harassing you. If she continues then report to the police.

How terrible.

Definitely tell the chemist not to accept any further letters from her.

And if she approaches you again threaten to tell the police.

Tell them firmly that they must not contact you or speak to you again, either by letter or in person, and that if it continues you will go to the police and report it as harassment. And keep to your word.

Tell the chemist not to accept any more letters.

I'd write to her once.

Say that for personal reasons you have chosen to go No Contact, which is why you didn't attend the funeral. Do not go into further details.

That decision is your choice and you will not change your mind. Ask her to leave you alone because making scenes in the street casts neither of you in a good light.

Then ignore her.

That's harassment. You don't have to put up with it. Ask the police to visit and have a word.

Report to the police. She is harassing you and I would imagine it might meet the definition of stalking. I am also not sure what on earth the chemist is doing accepting these letters and passing them on, that's mad. Tell them you don't want these letters or switch chemists and tell them why - pharmacies are closing daily so they'll want all the custom they can get.

The chemist is out of order and should be refusing to pass on information - the chemist should not even confirm you use that shop. Speak to them (politely) about their responsibilities to protect your privacy.

Discuss what is happening with the police. Shouting at you in the street is harassment.

Keep a diary and keep reporting to the police if the situation doesn't calm down.

I was shocked that he took them, I have been going to him for years though maybe that's why.
I have her address so maybe I should try writing and telling her anymore contact is harassment.
I don't think the police would take it very seriously

Tell the chemist you are being harrassed and you do not appreciate them facilitating this.

There is no excuse for them accepting a letter to pass on to you. They are not being helpful, they are being harmful

I have this, I was told to call the police but that would make matters worse.
