my ex got together w/my best friend in 2002. We seperated, but did not divorce until 2007, which I initiated, and then he married this woman one month later. Except for initially when it was so emotional, we've generally gotten along, with a few exceptions along the way. Last fall, another estranged friend of mine (ex friend, shall I say) and the new wife (remember, ex best friend) "friended" each other on Facebook. I kept a watch on them, knowing this would happen. Immediately afterwards, the new wife started making nasty posts about me on her and the other friends pages. HOWEVER, never were my name or my new husband's name ever used. It was clear and obvious who she was speaking about. Every post I put on mine, she would twist it to be about her, and snarl back on her own. I never retorted on mine, hoping it would bore her and she'd go away. It simply made it worse. In February, my ex sent me a FB message telling me to "go away" and don't respond because he would not even open the msg. I admit that I was watching them on Facebook, but did not make derogatory remarks about any of them. So, I stopped, and momentarily, so did she. Then it escalated again, and she made a comment about OUR wedding date that was quite ugly, and my husband sent her a message, telling her that he would need to visit my ex to put a stop to this. A phone call from my ex to my husband seemed to have resolved that-so we thought. It continued, and then she sent a really horrible message to my husband, full of LIES and accusations, and threatnening to "do something" if it did not stop!! What did not stop? We were doing nothing-but continuously being told that we were stalking, when we were doing absolutely nothing. We did not respond, just left it alone. Another message came to my work email, supposedly from my husband, (I believe she sent it) saying to "leave them alone, etc" or they would do something to stop it. We do not know where this is coming from, and they ARE STILL posting stuff on their FB, and I made mine private-I checked my ex's, and he posted "Ding Dong, the bitch is GONE! LOL" and then commented below that he wasn't talking about his WIFE, but "their stalker".
The worst of it is, our kids (mine and the ex's) are 19 and 20 yrs old, and "friends" of all of us on FB. So they can read this info. Another mutual friend posted something about "people needing to be hit in the face" and my reply was "yup" and the EX replied "^..two times"...(pointing to my post) I feel this is a physical threat to me, especially after everything else has happened. I removed my post. I have 8 pages of "copied and pasted" from these pages, EVERYTHING-some of it was removed, but most not. Not sure what to do about this, they are starting to "friend my friends" and family, too. I guess so they can see "what a horrible person I really am". Please advise as to what legal aspect I can take to stop this cyber bullying. Thank you. I apologize for this long post!
