Having vaccine tomorrow, Ex-P sending horrible messages

88 replies

Anon778833 · 25/02/2021 17:28

I’m having the vaccine tomorrow. After a lot of careful thought.

My ex-P won’t stop sending me messages about how anyone who has the vaccine will be ‘dead within 5 years’

He was going on about a trial involving ferrets or something and Bobby Kennedy Junior.

I wasn’t going to tell him but then I thought I should because I might be a bit unwell afterwards (we have a child).

25 emails and 63 text messages later I’m regretting it. His mum had it without telling him. I can see why.

Goid job you're getting the vaccine, you can't afford to take too many risks, your child desperately needs you! The thought of any child being brought up by that Bellend is terrifying.

shavenraven · 25/02/2021 17:56

Why wouldn't you just block him, it's very simple

fuzzymoon · 25/02/2021 17:57

Why tell him if you have support round you ?
Why tell him anyway as you may feel a little ill but nothing that you wouldn't be able to cope with ?
Lesson learnt. Only communicate about your child.

@SugarbabyMilly

I blocked his number so he started emailing. I can’t block the emails.
You can mark emails to go straight into your spam though.

Seriously, why has this got anything at all to do with him, and why does he even care? Don't give his craziness the airtime.

Aquamarine1029 · 25/02/2021 17:59

Are you actually responding to these batshit messages?

MusicWithRocksIn1t · 25/02/2021 18:00

Simple email back.

If this does not stop NOW I will be searing advice from the police about harassment.

MusicWithRocksIn1t · 25/02/2021 18:00

Seeking* obviously. Silly autocorrect

coffeeandbiscuittime · 25/02/2021 18:15

I remember you from the Trump threads, your Ex isn't getting any better is he?
Just continue being strong and rational. You have done well. Good luck going forward.
Hopefully you will be one of the ones who don't have a reaction - I know loads of people vaccinated with either the Pfizer or AZ and only 1 person that I am aware of had severe fatigue , the rest had nothing or a sore arm.

Georgyporky · 25/02/2021 18:25

Do keep the messages & texts, they could be important in the future.

mumwon · 25/02/2021 18:28

Can you not put his emails into a separate folder so you don't have to answer them?

Devlesko · 25/02/2021 18:29

Dear God, I wouldn't trust him with my kids. Make a complaint to SS say he isn't mentally stable.
Good luck, I have mine next week.

This.

Theunamedcat · 25/02/2021 18:32

Ask him to stop when he doesn't call the police

Fluffycloudland77 · 25/02/2021 18:33

You didn’t need to say he’s not rational, we’d all figured that out.

imalmostthere · 25/02/2021 18:33

Bloody hell - he's unhinged!!

babbaloushka · 25/02/2021 18:36

I wouldn't be letting him see the kids.

The receiptant has blocked your email address and further email traffic will be reported to the police under harassment law

bobby81 · 25/02/2021 18:44

It isn’t as simple as ‘just block him’ when you have DC together.
OP I think you should contact the police to log this, it’s harassment and you could get a non molestation order to (hopefully) stop this kind of contact. It sounds incredibly stressful, hope you’re ok.

VouisLuitton · 25/02/2021 18:45

Dead within 5 years!?

Surely if it was going to kill you it wouldn’t take that long 😂

Good on you for getting the vaccine!

PicsInRed · 25/02/2021 18:55

He was going on about a trial involving ferrets or something

Print and frame this to re-read whenever he gets in your head. Just look at it the state of him 😂 😂 😂

CrunchyCarrot · 25/02/2021 18:56

It's 5 years now till you die is it? It was 2 months a few weeks ago. LOL. I am guessing the anti-vaxxers will keep extending the date when their predictions don't come true. Grin

BonnieDundee · 25/02/2021 18:57

Contact and tell him you've seen the light and you're not going to have it now.

Then go and have it anyway.

And tell him as little as possible from now on

Carouselfish · 25/02/2021 18:58

Ask him if he's so sure of that to take his savings and make a bet at the bookies.

Chloemol · 25/02/2021 19:28

Put the emails to go to junk

starfish4 · 25/02/2021 19:50

OP, you've made the decision to have it. Try and avoid your account for the rest of the evening and certainly don't read what he's said. Afterwards don't engage with him at all over it.

For me, having my vaccine was the best day of the year so far, so stuff him and enjoy the fact that you'll soon be more protected and also less likely to pass it onto those you love.
