Blocked but he keeps emailing...

[gogogadgetgo]

Split up a few weeks ago. Pretty acrimonious. I've name changed but have written about him. I think he's a narcissist. He shows all the traits.

Anyway he's blocked everywhere. Even on email. But emails go through to the bin instead of disappearing into the ether. But I never check there.

I had a text from a friend saying he'd been texting her. She'd blocked (after she checked with me) but saw he'd been checking her out on LinkedIn and got freaked out. I said to block him on there too.

So I went to email him to tell him to back off and found another pissy email in my bin folder. I told him if he contacted my friend (or parents or whoever) they were going to call the police.

This started another load of emails saying he wants to talk. He's just sent another one saying to let him know if I'm getting them as if not he'll have to sort 'a work around'

What the fuck? A work around. He wants another way to contact me. What's he going to do now?!

I started out with a “friend” I felt sorry for who turned into a stalker.
He ended up spray-painting filth on my garage door and blocking my car in with a pile of lumber. My kind neighbors removed it, but since I lived in town and he lived in the country, I called both the city police and the county sheriffs.
Then — one morning at 5am, my mum called and said this stalker had called them and threatened to kill them! I was terrified. I had her notify their police. I called mine.
He then disappeared and began phoning the sheriff and different police depts and threatened to kill them. They all blew him off as he was known to them as “a drunk.”
My parent’s police, however, did not — they eventually caught him, tried him and found him guilty of “terroristic threats.”
He was jailed for many years — it was the first time in years I could finally exhale.
Please, @gogogadgetgo — don’t wait until it gets this bad for you.

There's good and bad police, one can only hope that things will improve with time as bad press applies pressure and shines a spotlight on their shit systems when it comes to women's safety. I'm sorry you had such a bad experience with them, shocking what happened to you. But try not to give up using them for backup on this occasion, your experience of them may well be entirely different from last time. At the least, there will be a record of your complaint of harassment should anything escalate and he may respond to being warned off by them.

Also, your ex knowing your history is probably banking on you not getting the police involved.
