Having vaccine tomorrow, Ex-P sending horrible messages

[Anon778833]

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.

I would be tempted to reply by text- "Rejoice - If I'm dead within 5 years then you get to look after our lovely child all by yourself.

I did actually say this in reply 😂

OP good on you.

Now take care to minimise how his other messages can get to you.

That's harassment. Report him.

Well done OP.

It's just worrying that the father of your child will be telling them all kinds of bat shit crazy nonsense. Having at least one sane parent is always an advantage but I'd be worried that your kid will be torn between two very different world views.

@Bouledeneige

Yes you are very right. It really concerns me that she’ll have this to contend with.

I’ve had the jab this pm so it will be pointless him going on about it now.

Let’s hope the fact you’ve now had the jab will put an end to it. But if it doesn’t, you must act.

I’m as pro-vax as they come, but if it was the other way round (i.e. you didn’t want to have it and he was pestering you to get it,) my response would be the same: it is harassment, no-one has the right to do that, and it rings alarm bells for me about what else he might do.

if you happen to drop dead sooner than five years, ie before 2pm tomorrow, can you text from the other side and give me a warning not to have mine?

he does sound a few sandwiches short of a picnic...

and yes harrassment.

Just tell him your appointment was cancelled and never discuss with him again.

Is he on your DC's birth certificate OP?

If he is I'd be seeking legal advice on medical care etc. for your youngest. If he's an anti vaxxer you may have issues in the future if he objects to them having their jabs.

Save copies of all the emails and texts in case you need evidence at any point as to his mental state. He sounds very unwell (I remember your previous thread).

@FeedMeSantiago Yes he is on the BC.

OP, my ex did this exact thing to me over ds's MMR booster, years ago. Endless texts, random articles from the internet via email about Wakefield-style conspiracy theories, etc. Ironically he didn't give a toss when ds had the original jab was more interested in his weed and beer but went full-on tinfoil hat by the time the booster rolled around.

It was hard but I had to learn to detach and ignore. And everything regarding ds became on a 'need to know' basis. It's hard when they technically have parental 'responsibility' but I figured it was all hot air really and not worth losing sleep over.

Thankfully he left the country a few years ago. He also became obsessed with Trump though, and lost his job because he refused to wear a mask during Covid . They're all so predictable!

Just block and ignore.

There was a similar post on here recently when the partner WASN'T an ex....
pleased he is!
As pp said you should be able to forward all his emails to junk. Just ignore and carry on.

Not the point of the thread or your business really but do you think he needs some professional help?

Yes, I do think he needs professional help and have told him so. His reaction was to laugh at me.

I tried to get help from his family. They aren’t interested either. Their attitude is basically that they won’t get involved.
