I hope I'm on the right board. I'm not exactly sure where this situation falls in legal catagories. This is a long story please bear with me I'll try to keep it as short as possible.
Several years ago my uncle became entangled with a woman. Upon meeting her I didn't like her but, said nothing. In the last couple of years she's managed to chase off his three children from his previous marriage. She is feuding with my aunt (uncle's sister) because she called my aunts daughter a bunch of vile names. My parents and I stayed out of it since it wasn't any of our business though the name calling did offend us as well. For the record, I'm 31 years old. Recently, my aunt and I teamed up to plan a surprise party for my grandmother's birthday. In the weeks prior to the party, my uncles girlfriend emailed my aunt about 20 times trying desperately to start the feuding again. I saw the emails and she tried everything even calling my uncle's children vile names and resorting back to calling my aunts daughter even worse. She even sent seriously hurtful letters to my uncles oldest daughter knowing my aunt would see them. Well, the party came off without a hitch. But with one minor snag. The woman's 19 year old son was present and during the party went off to smoke pot. I smelled it on him and during a phone conversation with my aunt I angrily informed her of his disrespect. She urged me to call my uncle, which I did but, not before my aunt could send a nasty email to his girlfriend telling her what she thought of her and her son. Thus, the war began. This woman upon finding out I was the accuser attacked me in an email calling me all kinds of vulgar names which prompted a single response from my mother, whom she responded to by threatening her and demanding an apology from me. I responded to this basically telling her "Fat Chance" I don't feel I did anything wrong. She continued to email my aunt and call her home though, she'd been told to stop. When she couldn't get through to my aunt she started calling my grandmother 5 and 6 times a day and upsetting her over this mess. My aunt growing more and more concerned of her mother's well being went to see my uncle. He refused to talk to her so she went up to his girlfriend's job. Ironically, she was coming out of the building as my aunt was going in. My aunt said what she came to say and the woman attacked her physically. Finally, grandma ripped my uncle about the whole of the situation and all was quiet for almost a week. Then came my sister's bridal shower. Another sister and I planned it and when making up the guest list decided it wasn't a good idea to invite her since she'd threatened our mother. The shower was Sunday, she found out about it through my uncle and quizzed my grandmother about it on Monday. Tuesday my mom gets a nasty email from her demanding to know why she wasn't invited. My mom didn't respond. Wednesday another email, this one claiming she's done nothing to any of us and demanding to know who made out the invitations. During all of this, my mom forwards emails to me for filing (as a favor to my aunt we print and file copies of these emails because she doesn't have a printer) from my uncle's girlfriend to my aunt all three contained a veiled threat "You better watch your back." "You've got some surprises coming to you" " You'll be taken care of soon". She's called my aunt at least 12 times in the last two days (all happens when my uncle is not at home). My aunt has hung up on her, blocked her and taken other actions to let her know she's not going to talk to her. She made a comment in one of those emails that she was "Making sure the baby and I are set for life". Then I get an email from my aunt who had just spoken to my uncle's ex wife (he and his ex are still friends) saying that this woman called my uncle's ex and tried to push her into gathering her three children for a meeting with my uncle about making up a will. My uncle's ex wife was very bothered by this and informed her that children aren't supposed to be involved in that process. The woman began to insist and when that didn't work tried to goad her into an arguement. We are all seriously concerned now and curious if there is any legal action at all that can be taken against this woman. Of course, I know we can't do anything on my uncle's behalf but, can we do something about what she's done to us.
