My ex from 4 years ago we were addicts together. He beat and raped me badly people called police many times and needed hospital treatment a few times, but always refused to press charges. Because I was a addict I had such a low opinion of myself I didn't think I deserved better, and I seriously thought if I just showed him the unconditional love he claimed he never had he'd change. I was a idiot I was of my bipolar medication and being honest my head was such a messed up place I wouldn't wish it on anyone. By the time I left I was too weak to go through pressing charges and just wanted out of there and only had the strength to crawl out.

Well I've caught him in my street a few times, even though it's no where near his house just assumed he had a friend nearby.
A friend of mine said my ex was questioning him, the friend is a friend of his family but not my ex, but doesn't want to make any kind of statement to police as he is good friends with the rest of the family, he just told me to warn me.

The friend told me my ex knows which car is mine despite only owning it since December, he knows my mother has moved out which happened in March and knows where she is living. He also knows I have been having sex with someone. My friend asked him how he knew and he wouldn't answer. He kept asking my friend a lot of questions about me my friend says.

I'm thinking about just ignoring him and he will get bored and move on and leave me alone. Thinking giving him attention will just make him worse. Plus I am tired and just want to be left alone.

I'm sorry to hear that. They can still check the place for security, fit locks and advise on your safety.

I hope it goes well today OP. You're doing the right thing.

Just to update police are having a word, gave me a crime number, they did warn me that he seems unstable by the thought that I am sleeping with someone and to just be sensible. Also to update a pp with bipolar I am now on new meds seem to be working brilliant and I'm on a anti psychotic which works, helps me sleep and doesn't cause severe hunger and weight gain, very happy woman today.

Thanks for the update OP, I was just thinking about you wondering how it had gone. Are they going to secure your place and did they say anything about your legal options?

Glad your meds are working - great news.

They are not going to do anything further unless he continues after his warning, so I'll have to keep a eye out and see if I spot him at all and log everything to build up a case. I've also warned my mother to watch for him and will report it if either of us see him.

Given his previous behaviour that response is absolute BS. He's a very dangerous individual who has already raped you.

The majority of women murdered by a partner or intimate partner are stalked first. Stalkers who loiter near the victims home or workplace are more likely to attack.

Did they complete an S-DASH while they were with you?

OP you need to contact the National Stalking Helpline 0808 802 0300 as soon as you can for proper advice and help.

The police are not taking this seriously enough and your life is at risk. 'Having a word' is likely to inflame the situation. Please be careful.

That should read Murdered by a partner or former partner.
