Hi there
I had an involvement with someone for about six months last year when I was in a really bad place hence I think my judgement wasn't great. At the start of this year, I got out of it, cut ties completely as I knew the person was quite obsessive and unstable.
Fast forward to about a month ago, I have discovered that that person and two of his friends are trying to destroy my character, deliberately spreading lies about me, a very set up effort to do this. We share a hobby and within this hobby they are doing this, they've all been told now they are no longer welcome to that hobby, such was the concentrated effort to get me. I think the guy I was involved with is extremely hurt and his friends are out to get me for that. I believe it's not hurt but his unstable personality, ego being bruised etc.
The thing is I've not struck back at all, I know what that guy is and he is dangerous. I am very annoyed with the two of his friends though, one of whom went to one of my best friends to run me down. I actually have evidence of how unstable he is in the form of a letter that I received to my house, written to me as if from a stranger full of abuse, horrendous things said. I knew full well it was him when I got it, thing is his email address is imprinted on the back of it, he must have leaned on the document onto another document with his name on and he doesn't know this.
Up to now I've left it be as I have a family illness to deal with.
So I guess I can strike back on this and clear my name, right a wrong, let his two friends see how crazy he is. I have no interest in engaging with him whatsoever or anyone else but should I tell them what actually happened? Maybe I should continue to ignore it? People who know me know my character and I think those people are showing themselves up but I am tempted to strike back in some way. How though? I don't want to engage at all with any of them.
Thank you for reading.
