Advice needed - ex and family talking to my violent relatives

Hi again,

So my narcissistic ex has the kids at his dads every other weekend and half the holidays (he's living there, they all sleep together on a blow up). He was emotionally abusive and controlling so social services were involved but now just have a support worker to help me get support for my eldest who is struggling emotionally.

A year or so ago a relative went a bit bonkers. Reported me to social services for neglect (they said I was fine), hoped to get my kids, and then threatened to come and sort me out. It was all reported to the police who dealt with it.

I have just received a letter from the relative threatening me again having been informed of all the awful things I'm doing to my ex and his family. They've clearly tried to get the relative riled up to attack me again. My question, do I report them to the police? My support worker? My domestic outreach worker from women's aid? All of them? I feel it's a way for them to try and get me hurt without doing it themselves. Surely that's against the law?

I can't see the harm in reporting it to all so that it's recorded.

Yeah I'm wondering the same. I'm furious to be honest. They are risking a violent and unhinged individual attacking me/my home to score points. That would do wonders for my children wouldn't it?

Definitely report this.

Your life has nothing to do with this person. Report it to all listed, better to be safe than sorry. My advice would be not to respond - these people are looking for a response and it fuels their fire.

Good luck.

Thanks, Yeah I won't respond. I never have! I know that they thrive on the drama. Will certainly report it, just couldn't work out if I was over reacting!
