Online harassment is killing me!

Hi everyone,
Bit of a background for those who don’t know... my fiancé committed suicide nearly 2 and a half years ago. I had just turned 20 and our son was 1 and a half. and ever since then his family and friends have all blamed me for his death... saying I bullied him, I pushed him to his decision, I wasn’t a good girlfriend etc... over the last 2 years his parents have wrote horrible things about me online calling me evil, a monster even a murderer!Sad they’ve threatened to turn my son against me, tell him how much of a horrible person I am when he grows up, tell him that I’m the reason his dads dead etc and because of all of this they haven’t seen my son in 2 years. They made an application for a child arrangement order 8 months ago. We went to family court and the magistrates told them that it would be a massive risk letting them round my son because of their threatening behaviour and the harm that they could cause mentally to my son. We were meant to have a second hearing but the following month but they pulled out of their application a few days before. They beat up my best friend a month ago purely for the fact she’s MY friend and she associates with me. For the last 2 years I’ve been so scared to bump into them or see them down the shops. So scared that a lot of the time I avoid going out unless it’s urgent.
I looked into getting an injunction but it would cost way to much money. The police did go round their house about a year ago to tell them to not come near me or my house but it hasn’t stopped the online abuse. Just wondering if anyone knows what I can do or what path to go down? The thing is they are writing these posts and it’s egging other people on to say horrible things about me as well. Any help would be so amazing! Thanks

Honestly, in your position I would remove my online presence and, if at all possible, relocate. It is better to do this while your son is still young.
You could potentially change your name too.
It sounds dreadful. I don't think they will stop as long as they have the opportunity.

It might be time to change your name. At the very least delete all your social media and open new profiles in completely new names. Change your number and think about moving to a different town.

I also think while you shouldn’t have to can you relocate?

Where are your family ? Are they suppportive ?

this wont stop or go away sadly, people like this are scum

I also thought about relocating and just shut down your Facebook account. You can still post online, but so it anonymously.

I agree with everything that has been said.

Get the police involved again. Every single time. Malicious communication is a crime and they can be prosecuted for it.

Do you have evidence? Have you kept the messages/emails/screenshots of their abuse?

Police. Every time.

Open a new fab account using a picture than a photo and different name. Then you can add who you want and post what you want. I would look at moving too. You can still visit whoever you want. It'll be a good new start for the both of you.
And everything these people do screenshot and save to a folder. Inform the police of any threatening behaviour.

Relocate and change your name. I know you shouldn't have to...
