After blocking someone with ?NPD, have they/how have they managed to get in contact?

[teleskopregel]

Just this, really. I am low contact with my sister and mum due to are quite dysfunctional behaviour that is suspect is relating to some personality disorder (ie: NPD but am no Psych). I have been low contact for five years since an incident that involved physical and verbal violence from them towards me in front of my children. Contact has been via WhatsApp and mainly about the weather. Nothing heavy.

I discovered this past weekend that they had done something awful that affected the church community I am a part of, as well my own reputation through my familial connection with them. I confirmed this yesterday with my family, and today had the most explosive conversation, which led to me deleting their numbers and blocking them. I don't believe that they will let me have the last word, however, and am wondering how hard other people with a ?personality disorder have tried to get in contact once they have been blocked.

They cannot stalk me, because I live in another country, but they can certainly slander me, which is nothing new, and by now it does not affect me too much, because really, what can I do?

Please excuse the typos!

Speak to your minister of religion and ask their advice. They will be used to listening to family troubles, and will give you guidance.

I’d assume they can write to you if they have your address, maybe get a friend to contact you via text, email, SM. If you keep ignoring them they’ll probably give up.
If they continue to slander you you could get a solicitor to send them a cease and desist letter.

I’m sorry to say that there’s lots of ways that they could contact you, using new phone numbers, or there’s technology that hides/disguises numbers. The only thing that you can control is how you react to that. There’s an organisation in the UK, Paladin, that has advice on its website. There’s also lots of threads here about handling toxic family, so have a look at them.

I am anticipating that they will attempt to contact my in-laws, with whom we have a good relationship, but they have enough happening at the moment. I will have to think how I can protect them, but I guess I cannot do much apart from warning them. Ach, I shouldn't have provoked the beast.

With the slander, my mum and sister have historically denied saying anything and suggested I am paranoid. Were I to take this further, I am pretty confident that they would attempt to manufacture some sort of evidence to suggest I was the guilty person and they are the victims. Like forging my writing or something. However, their credibility has diminished recently. I guess I will see how much it affects me over the next few weeks.

Thanks for the Paladin info. I am aware of Stately Homes on here.

I am curious, though, whether they would hop on a plane and fly here to me. That would be terrible, and I am hoping the 24 hour of flying would deter them.

name change fail OP?

Anyway, I blocked on everything, but my hotmail address was what was used (9 months after the event, so I had thought I was safe!)

Still don't know how to block emails but at least I am not surprised if they do it again. (They haven't, thank goodness!)
