Please see my other thread on relationships 'please help me make sense of this' been through hell with ex, Emotionally abusive, bullying and very very controlling. Was pregnant, no longer am. He does not believe me, wants proof and continues to harass, police are involved too. My post below, WA suggested to post here in legal, Any thoughts reply welcome. I do not what to give him proof s this may put me at further risk from him, and also I know I do not have to legally, but I don't know what he will do next...

A letter from solicitor came via email today, no doubt he is blind copied, and exactly seven days just as he said in his last threatening emails.
I am shocked this family solicitors is proceeding as they are copied into my response to his threats stating he is continuing to harrass me and all further communication will be given to the Police.
It basically repeats what he has said in emails, that I 'allege to no longer be pregnant' , that this has come as a shock to their client because despite difficulties in the relationship with me, he was very happy at the news that he was to become a father, and to assist him in accepting that he is no longer to be a Father, please provide some documentary evidence from the hospital or your doctor to confirm you are no longer pregnant. Once our client has sight of this, he confirms he will not contact you again.
Understandably our client needs to be sure that the information you have provided is correct, as f you are having his child, he is keen to be fully involved both in the pregnancy and to be fully involved with his child following the birth.
We hope you will understand the position our client finds himself him and your cooperation would be appreciated.

I'm livid, torn between

  • reporting it to Police as evidence of further harassment and letting solicitors know (though they already know this from prior emails that he CEO them into and I responded to stating it was ongoing harassment and would be forwarded to police)
  • completely ignoring, not responding at all ... But I do not know what he will do after that....

The Police are being rubbish, still haven't arrested or done anything at all to him despite three separate reports and statements, I have to do a three hour round trip at the weekend to give in all my evidence to an officer who frankly, sounds like he sympathizes, and I didn't get good vibes off when I said I was no longer pregnant as a result of what has gone on... Originally I didn't want him arrested, but I do now. I've had enough, I want him out of my life and I want him to know he doesn't get to do this to women.

Thank you for thinking of me Smile

Glad you're doing OK Buzz. Hopefully you'll feel less and less on edge each day.

Long may the peace last!

Move away. Lots of people will say go to the police they won't help and he could still hurt you. Don't ever speak to him again he has no rights to you or your person. Tell your parents tell your friends tell Facebook tell your local MP smash your phone and stay at a friends house and also get a security alarm and when you come back home at night make sure someone sees you in safely

He's just panicing at the thought that you don't answer to him any more.

Classic abusive wanker.

If you are forced to provide proof, could you not sign an affidavit stating that you're not pg? It has to be accepted in law...

I'd only do that if ordered to provide proof, which no court in the land ever would.

Enjoy the silence. Now delete and block and live again.

Thank god you're not pg. he'd be a blight on that child's life, and in yours forever.

I hope he slips back under the shortly rock he came from.

Shitty rock,

Hi OP

Much as I am against giving this vermin anything he wants I am concerned that if he did bring a court case after the supposed due date that you would be asked to provide medical records to prove there was no baby. In order to prove there was no baby might the court refer to how it had ended as proof?
You haven't definitely stated how it ended as far as I've read, but if it was ended through termination, and this was given as proof in a court situation, this then might leave you open to further action I.e. Loss of opportunity or something like it? Sorry I'm not a legal person but it's what I'd be concerned about due to him being unhinged. Even if it wasn't a criminal action could he apply to the civil court? I know some people sue for some really off the wall reasons even if they don't win.

If you were to prove no pregnancy now, there will not be any need to worry about how it is proved except by a pregnancy test and a letter from your doctor stating the outcome of the test.

Anyway, you are in my thoughts and I hope you and your daughter get some peace and resolution from this monster as soon as possible.

REALLY should be AIBU as you are just ignoring sensible legal advice for personal projections and opinions. Anyway, good luck.
