What is the name of your state?
Okay, so here's the deal. I'm bisexual, and I began talking to a girl in January of this year. She decided that she liked me, so she came down to visit me. When she got here, I realized that she'd forged a lot of her pictures to make herself appear more attractive and that she was a lot meaner than she'd let on. So I told her I just wanted to be friends, and she reacted a little.. intensely, but she apologized for yelling at me and I forgave her, ready to attempt the friendship.
Well, after about a week, the harrassment started. One of our main methods of communication was AOL AIM Messenger, and she had a lot of business contacts on her buddy list with access to whatever her away messages said. Most of her business contacts are people in the social work field, and I'm going to school for social work, so the people reading her away messages are future potential business contacts. She would put up away messages that said defamatory things about me that would affect people's decisions about me.. Some true, private things I'd revealed to her and some untrue things.
I did nothing about it, just took screen captures of every single thing she said about me.
I've been called by two different individuals who blocked their numbers, making ominous comments. I also receive between four and ten blocked phone number calls a day. I work from home so I have to answer all the calls, and the harrassing phone calls prevent me from getting my work done on the worst days and are an annoyance on the lighter call volume days.
My mother passed away two years ago, and this afternoon (on Mother's Day) she sent me a message that said, "Tell your mom I said Happy Mother's Day!... Oh yeah, nevermind.
" She knows that my mother is deceased. I've tried blocking her e-mail addresses and screen names, and she just goes and gets another one or has one of her friends attack me. I've tried asking her to stop and ignoring her, and it's been three months and it's gotten worse, if anything. Is there anything I can do to convince her to stop? I also happen to know that she's had previous mental issues and has been hospitalized for several things, including obsessive behavior. Has she done enough to warrant seeking a restraining order? I appreciate any positive responses or advice. Thank you!
