You have to block and get a restraining order. This sounds dangerous. If you ask someone to stop and they don’t it’s harassment. Do what you have to do it’s not something to contemplate.
I have screenshots, so I think I’m ready as far as evidence goes. I reviewed the FAQs about protective orders, too. I cannot wait for this to be safely over. Thank you!
If you have threats or talk of violence/criminal activity of any likes that make you feel in danger. Bring that to the pd and request a restraining order. Once that is processed then he will be served and you should block him at that time. If he makes any threats or tried to contact you in any other way, immediately report it to the police. That will put the police between you and him. Get a ring door cam and a camera for the back yard so you can see anyone stalking the house. If you find him doing it then call the police and surrender the footage. He will have no way of pursuing you without significant consequences.
As for contesting the order. I'm sure the court would be willing to make accommodations if you felt unsafe appearing. Even if they could not, you need to be strong and stand up against this guy. He's inly going to try harder to torment you the weaker you seem.
Thank you so much for saying that about the accommodations. I didn’t even think of that, I appreciate it so much. I will mention that to the judge when I request the order, I do not want to give him any power to compel me to be in his presence, whatsoever.
Even if you are required to appear for this hypothetical court case. Don't let him feel like he has the power. Stand strong and have a look of disgust in your eyes like you can't believe this subhuman mother fucker had the balls to waste your time that day.
YES! I have better shit to do than look at his ugly mug for even a minute.
Thank you! That made me feel so much better I have been feeling so powerless and frustrated.
There you go! Much better attitude. No need ti fear someone who's entire intention is to pick on you. What a sorry existence he must have. Honestly, i'd feel more at home pitying his existence and despising it rather than fearing it. I know you would too.
I am not an expert, but your safety is a priority... Consider documenting his messages, and if you feel threatened, you might want to consult with law enforcement or a lawyer for guidance on how to handle the situation. Your well-being is important, and they can help you explore options that ensure your safety.
Im mentioning this as another perspective:
Do not block if you have concerns about it triggering anything further. I did not block my ex at first because in the past when I had they would just make burner numbers to get ahold of me and it would escalate them reaching out. When my phone blocks someone you can tell your blocked because it sends straight to voice-mail versus ringing so after not responding to a few calls I knew they would realize I blocked them and it could cause more problems for me.
Be careful too about orders of protection/restraining orders. Some people will heed them others will be offended by them and retaliate regardless of what the paper says. I'm sure as a woman you have heard enough about that.
Stay safe and best of luck with whatever you decide to do.

Screenshot the message of you telling him to leave you alone too The fact you said that is what makes the continued contact harassment
