I changed my phone number, email addresses, changed my locks, bought a new computer and furniture, moved 7 times to 4 different states, wasted tons of money on private dectectives and attorneys, kept 2 cell phones (1 he knew about, 1 he didn't), used phones at apartment complex business centers on occasion for complete privacy... Finally filed bankruptcy because of it. Know what worked? I told him to leave me alone and began documenting every contact he made. I went to the police station once a week with list in hand. You don't have to ask for a warrant when you file a complaint...you have up to 1 year from the date of the complaint. If there are enough complaints, the police can refer it to the district attorney's office for prosecution. I had to coordinate my complaints between multiple states. Not even the PI discovered the GPS unit hidden on my car, or the microphones hidden in my couch - I did. Once there are enough complaints, you can request a warrant for arrest. He now knows not to enter the state where I currently live and get noticed by the police because of outstanding warrants. I never did file for an order of protection. I didn't have to go that far. The final straw for him, though, was to become someone he did not WANT. If he happened to get me on the phone, I pretended to be drunk and talked about getting drunk all the time. That was disguisting to him...only guys were "allowed" to drink that much. Between the warrants and his idea that I was no longer desirable, he left me alone.
The drama ended 2-1/2 years ago and I am still overly cautious about what information I give out to people I don't know well, watch my rear-view mirror when I drive, etc., but I feel safer than I have in a long time. |
I have to agree with getting offensive - also been stalked - sm
