user1498060624 · 23/06/2017 20:52

He just texted me demanding I delete a re-tweet I tweeted about the Queen supporting the domestic abuse help budget.

He texted me saying and I quote
'Delete the tweets or everything that has happened up until now will seem minor in comparison'.

He also called me twat and dirty and he said 'I am embarrassed for being with you, I want you to just go away now. Instead you will linger like a bad smell and spew a load of arrogant nonsense for months. Go away from Aberdeen and the UK, away from my attention completely.'

I am sitting in my living room being scared and I dont know what to do. Please talk to me, I am alone!!!!!

I dont have kids and I dont want to call my flatmate either. I have no friends at the moment in Aberdeen and I feel embarrassed to seek for help.

I cant believe I am going through this!

You are going to be suffering more than embarrassment if you don't act

Kigali04 · 23/06/2017 21:08

Sorry for typos in prev. post. Don't feel embarrassed OP he is the one with issues. What your doing is courageous and you will be ok. People will surprise you in a good way if you tell them and ask for help. I second advice given by others on here's x

BenguinsMummy · 23/06/2017 21:09

Op, please take Renaissance's offer of help, you need to have contact with the police so you can be safe from this idiot, we all here for you, keep posting so we know you're ok Flowers

ohfourfoxache · 23/06/2017 21:10

You need someone with you.

Please take Renaissance up on her offer

mintich · 23/06/2017 21:10

Call the police. You have the threat in writing and they already have you on file so it will be taken more seriously

PovertyJetset · 23/06/2017 21:11

op

I am going to assume you are a fine Scottish woman like myself and I am telling now woman to woman you are to CALL THE POLICE, NOW.

You're scared. The police will help you.

I had a series of prank calls when I was about 17 home alone and then the prankster said my name and I called the police. Who were AMAZING. Kind, strong and helpful.

DO IT NOW AND THEN COME BACK AND TELL ME YOU HAVE DONE IT.

user1498060624 · 23/06/2017 21:11

I called the police the first time he abused me and the case went to the court. I lived 2 months of hell being told constantly by him what a moron I am and that I should feel guilty.

The police helped me in terms of getting my clothes away etc and my mum flew from Greece to stay with me for a week. BUT the police didnt help in terms of him and his friends and brothers threatening me indirectly via texts.

So I cannot call the police again it will only make things worse and I live in his city!!!!!!

The police hasnt helped me in the past and it will only make things worse I just have to wait and see what he does!He is online on whatsapp all the time so I dont think he is driving from Alford to Aberdeen at the moment and it is a far distance not next door.

I will call one of my colleagues though to let her know in case anything goes wrong!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU

Alford is pretty far but OP don't rely on him appearing to be on social media the active status on these things can be misleading. And if you'd just like someone to come and chat for an hour my offer stands.

PickAChew · 23/06/2017 21:15

Don't be put off calling the police. You might be worried about what his family will do, but you're not safe, anyhow.

Is anything at all tying you to the city? Thinking ahead, can you start afresh elsewhere? This might be necessary, anyhow. Reporting him will help this to happen.

PovertyJetset · 23/06/2017 21:16

Block all the family bastards. Block them now.

Cut them out of your life.

What keeps you in Aberdeen?

PickAChew · 23/06/2017 21:17

And please try not to give too much identifying information on this thread. I know you're scared and need help, but giving placenames and too many exact details won't help to keep you safe Flowers

user1498060624 · 23/06/2017 21:18

My fucking PhD keeps me in Aberdeen and my useless supervisors who dont help me graduate an hour earlier!

I cannot leave from this horrible city and I am chained until the end of August!

I have blocked all of his friends and family from all my social media accounts.

Just texted RenaissanceBunny to meet. THANK YOU ALL!!!!!!

Yes. Also, if you have a smart phone, some let you block texts and calls from specified numbers, for others there's apps that'll do it for you.

Ginkypig · 23/06/2017 21:25

Good luck user, a lot of us are thinking of you.

PovertyJetset · 23/06/2017 21:26

Wowee- a future Dr/Academic.

Listen you are brilliant, and we all want you to be very safe.

SpiritedLondon · 23/06/2017 21:26

Be careful that he can't trace you by your phone. I know of women who have been tracked down to refuges because of features on their iPhones. I would still call the police and ask to speak to someone in a DV unit. You don't have to proceed with anything if you don't want to. They should have been able to deal with him and his family previously.... as witness intimidation. ( why did they not do that?). Your previous report helps in this case as it shows he has a propensity to commit violent offences of this kind.

Oops! sorry wrong thread. I'll get it removed.

Good luck OP

RockyBird · 23/06/2017 21:29

You have evidence on your phone.

Call the police, please.

Aberdeen is a small town (I live here too) but these scum should be exposed for what they are

Would you consider reporting to MNHQ to remove the place names OP. This thread could be very identifying.

MsSusanStoHelit · 23/06/2017 21:38

This sounds awful, I'm so sorry it's happening. Have you talked to your university's pastoral care team about this?

If you're at Aberdeen, it's these ones: www.abdn.ac.uk/infohub/support/counselling-service.php

If it's Robert Gordon, they've password-protected it but I think it's the green Student Support icon here: www.rgu.ac.uk/staff-and-current-students

At the very least, you'll be able to talk to someone about what you're going through come Monday.

But echoing everyone else; call the police. Love to you.

Ceto · 23/06/2017 21:39

Contact a solicitor to see if you can get an injunction to keep him and his family well away from you.

MsUnderstanding · 23/06/2017 21:40

If you're a student ou can ask your university to help you find emergency accommodation. Go to the students union as soon as you can and find out what they can do for you.

WaitrosePigeon · 23/06/2017 21:41

I hope you are ok x
