Ex and I divorced 2 years ago. He still sends me a large amount of emails regarding our shared parenting. He used to text and ring on a daily basis until I told him I only wanted to communicate via email. As a result, I sometimes receive 10+ emails a week, mostly minor queries over parenting or things like changing parenting schedule months in advance. He wants me to reply the same or next day and if I leave it for a few days he'll follow up with text messages and additional emails asking me to respond asap. A few months ago he got a solicitor involved. Now if I don't reply within say a week I'll receive a threatening email from his solicitor asking me to confirm whatever ex has said in an email and if I don't reply by set time and set date ex will take action via court.
Recently, my friend was seriously ill so I visited her in hospital nearly every day as well as working full-time and looking after 2 kids. I told ex this and said I couldn't reply to any of his emails until I had time. Next thing I know another letter from his solicitor saying I need to reply to ex asap. Ex was controlling in our marriage and is still the same. What can I do about this constant stream of emails/threatening emails from his solicitor? I have worked very hard at keeping boundaries with my ex but he seems he is constantly pushing at them. I feel like this is harassment and constantly feel stressed at having to answer my ex all of the time and with his solicitor setting fixed deadlines for me to respond/threatening me with court action.
