I (47) broke up recently with a boyfriend whom i couldnt feign interest in any longer (true boredom). He pestered me with letters and emails to take him back declaring forever love. I got rid of him eventually by sending him escalatingly rude emails. I made a bad mistake of citing violent threat in one of them, and he took it to the police and he contacted my sister (50) whom he had never met and showed her my emails and explained the break up. She sided with him (!), without consulting me, went to the police station with him and made a statement in support of him against me citing my emotional history. I have not seen her since 2 years when this happened. she is a doctor, she can get away with anything she likes.
