Just when my life is going along fine and I am recovering nicely from a disaster of a marriage, I get an e-mail from him today demanding an article he thinks I still have. January 28th makes the second anniversary of our divorce - MOVE ON!

A few months ago he said he didn't want to be friends or communicate with me anymore. Okay, that works for me. When we divorced, he did not pack one thing, I did. Furthermore, the mediation agreement says anything left after January 28th becomes my property. BUT I DON'T HAVE IT!!!

Right now I am going to ignore his e-mail. Any advice??? He just opened old wounds, is still angry with me for divorcing him and he has a gun!

exes are annoying. It took me a long time to get over one and then she randomly contacted me after years of not tlaking. Then she started ignoring me after a while when I was nice enough to respond to her despite things she did in the past.

Anyway, I assume you will know how to handle it.

It's a sad fact.
Some people don't miss the water, til the well runs dry.
Sounds like he used that as an excuse to contact you.

You say he has a gun
Change everything!!!
Phone numbers, email addy's and anything else that he may be able to use to get in contact with you. Do any and everything in your power to protect yourself.
If you feel threatened, get an order of protection ASAP!

Crazy, evil individuals very seldom change.

Ignore any correspondence from him. Keep records though of any written correspondence. Especially if he threatens you even in casual passing.

Do not talk to him in any capacity.

If he alludes to any violence then report it. Take appropriate protective measures.

Do not talk to him in any capacity.

If you encounter him in public do not speak to him, move away from him and leave the situation.

If he shows up at your house do not speak to him, call the police.

And for God's sake, stay away from Palm Bay, there are more domestic shootings and violence there per capita than anywhere in Florida.

I disagree totally. Bullshit him, kill him with kindness, put on a facade. Even a fake smile makes others and yourself feel better eventually. He knows he's getting to you. If paperwork is said and done then it's said and done. Tell him you'll involve the judicial system to resolve your material issues. If there ARE any. Can't remember what you said about that in your original post.

But, no matter what. Do the "block" e-mail , etc, etc, . But in person, do EVERYTHING with a smile on your face. F**k him, you owe him nothing............. Just don't let him know that.

Well, it's well after Jan 28. Should've taken care of anything before then, I'd say.
Had ex do something similar, had keys to the house, full access, up until, the day the divorce was final, could've cleaned me out. Come home one day after find her trying to get in (while I wasn't there), wanted something, when I questioned her.

Flat told her she had every opportunity to get it. Don't come back.

I am going to ignore him. My ex friend (she went to the Dark Side with the Devil Incarnate) reads my Facebook page and of course, although she lives like 3 miles away, she can't come see me in 2 years, wrote and asked me what was going on. I fed her some bullshit so she could feed it back to him! Yeah, right, she doesn't see or hear from him anymore but the first thing she writes is "he's been in a foul funky mood for well over a week now."

I had the cops here as back-up on the last day he was moving everything from the garage that I had placed there. Even with the cops, he tried to cut the wires in the attic to my surround sound system. When I screamed, they came right over and said "Mr. ________, please step down from the attic now, you have what you want, now leave." What a piece of work he turned out to be!!

Bingo!!! He needs someone to lash out at and I AM NOT IT ANYMORE. ::::shakes head in disbelief::: Some girl must have dumped him or used him for his $$$ or whatever. I heard him trash his second wife all the time when she did nothing to him just because he was angry with something, so I know his pattern. Screw him!

Chyrei said it very well. You dont know what you got til it's gone , and that cow in the cartoon that got its neck all twisted like a pretzel in the fence??? Thats usually what has happened...the grass is always greener.
He no doubt looked back and saw what he left and wants it back.
When people get in a mindset like that , they will never be satisfied . It's hard to get our mind made up to BE CONTENT but it can be done.

Just stand firm, Hun and don't let him rattle you. If he sees that he CAN...then he WILL continue to do so.
Good Luck!

UPDATE: The latest e-mail is full of threats to not only myself but also to my friends with lawsuits and police, etc. Going to ignroe that one, too, and if he sends another one, I am taking all of them down to the local police station. I just don't understand why he is picking on me. It's been ages since I had anything to do with him and now he wants to get to me. The good advice is that I am staying away from him and saving all his e-mails.

I would tell him you don't have anything of his, that things were settled Jan 28, and if he contacts you again, you will file a police report and a restraining order, then block him. I would then send a copy of everything to your divorce lawyer and the local police department. I would go ahead with the restraining order since the threats.

I really want nothing to do with him. His last two words on the latest e-mail were "more to come." I feel that is a big threat, especially since he has a handgun at his disposal. He's just not making any sense, is probably drunk 24/7 these days and needs to pick on someone. Unfortunately for him, he has made idle threats before, but I have always addressed them. I actually made up a fake male screen name tonight and thought maybe I would write him as my "boyfriend" telling him to leave me the hell alone. I must have been some dumb, pitiful blonde to believe his lies 9 years ago. I actually trusted him with my life because he was FDNY retired. This time I am ignoring him at all costs. I have nothing of his and he knows this. If the item is misplaced, it was misplaced by him, not me TWO YEARS AGO.

Well, he is pissing me off, so I will take a cleansing breath and ask God for divine intervention!

I agree with what others said - DO NOT TALK TO HIM - and DO NOT TELL HIM YOU MOVED ON!! When my ex figured out I moved on, he trashed my car - wrecked it - and flattened all the tires on my friend's truck. Don't tell him you moved on. That's dangerous. Just change your address, phone number and make this number unlisted and change all your e-mail addresses - disappear quietly.

I did respond to his second email. Told him to leave me alone and stop threatening me and that the local cops found his "more to follow" message a threat since he has at his disposal a 9mm handgun. His reponse: "OK" Oh yeah, and I know I have sort of fueled the fire, but the cops told me I had to have it in writing that I asked him to leave me alone. He will feed off my e-mail for weeks because he loves playing the victim. If he contacts me again, all I have to say is: INCOMING!

No point in drawing out the battle. Two simple rules.....Rule one:Keep a war book, a simple diary in which you record events...if you get an e-mail, note it down, keep the mail, same goes for SMS texts, if you can download them and print them so much the better. Do it for a few weeks so you have a trail. Second rule: Geta solicitor/lawyer to send him a letter , refer to the mediated agreement, point out that you have already had the police around and that you request that he refrain from contacting you in any manner whatsoever and that should there be a single further incident that you will apply for a restraining/protection order.
I had similar problems with my ex-wifes ex husband, it was only when he saw that he could not control or bully without facing arrest that he finally left us alone You should not have to deal with him or his issues and the law is there to protect you.

I agree - documenting all events date, time, incident is needed.

Perhaps he's trying to egg you on to be argumentative so that he can then cry foul. Stay on track by not stooping to his level. Let him cook his own goose. Just make sure a family member or friends are also aware of what's been happening.

Personally, I would have called the police already so that it can be on record. This way he'll know you're serious and will not tolerate threats of any kind.

I didn't call the police - I WENT DOWN TO THE STATION. You see, this is a small town and during the divorce proceedings, he refused to leave my house. In the meantime, he would steal from me when I was in bed sleeping. The police really got involved and he gave back some very valuable jewelry and coins my late husband gifted me when they went knocking at his door after he finally moved. Right now I am documenting everything and am telling mutual friends the truth - I DON'T HAVE IT.

My Dear Susan....I remember you from my first thread about room mates of a different gender... when you are in a relationship. I liked your response. So I read your profile, then I read you posts about a bad room mate situation you went through. Now this!!!

I sincerely feel for you. Wish I really was closer to be your room mate and perhaps feel like some protection from this lunatic. (hey, it's the healer/protector in me). But I've grown to like you, so I sincerely hope this guy keeps his distance and yuo stay safe.

If he said he has a gun in his e-mail print it out and send it to the police, and then let him know that.

This will stop him from trying to commit more mental anguish.

Do not respond to any communication from him--at all!

Shut the door between you two--leave him incommunicado with you....

By changing the way you deal with him, you force him to rethink his strategy's success-rate, maybe reconsider making further efforts and moving on....?

Thanks, Stone. I did what I had to do to protect myself, now he can knock himself out. I've learned valuable lssons from dealing with him. If I ignore his threats, sooner or later, he goes away because he certainly has more to lose than I do. I now have my house alarm on 24/7 and my poor doggie is in house jail again because he can cut the pool screening and come take her (which is what he would do). I've been thinking about getting cameras for the perimeter of my home, now I know I will do it, come what may.

I know how you feel. I've changed cell phones 3 times in 5 months. Threw one away yesterday, in fact. Lost track of how many times I called police on her during seperation. Had her arrested for breaking all the windows out of my office. Crashed her sequoia in parking lot drunk where I worked. I've moved out of state, done the no contact order, everything. Final hearing is in 13 days. I'll probably get physically attacked in the courtroom.

It's really weird because I divorced his lazy, drunken a** over his not paying attention to me. Then, when we get divorced, he wants to be frineds, but in the end all he wanted to do was rehash our divorce (no thank you). He is underhanded, though. Just when I feel safe, up he pops. No more mail from him or to him and I have purchased cameras for the outside perimeter of my home. They were installed today. I can even watch from work! Everything is recorded. The cameras and alarm system should do the trick.

Walmart and others sell inexpensive surveilence systems, which, integrated with a motion detector, the video cam can be set to record on your computer. No warning lights, just a motion detector and the cameras it activates, and the existing outside lighting--maybe moved to cover key entry-points. This way, only when the motion detector is set off, will the taping begin.

What does he say you have of his?

Maybe go out, buy a new one, give it to him and tell him to stay out of your life.

Well, there isn't much left of this item since it went down with the Titanic! He should have opened his stuff two years ago, then put it safely away!

he is not worth worrying about,you put him out of your life ,so keep him there.If he continues to bother you have to contact your lawyer.at least tell him that to get him off your back.he won't know if your lawyers for real or not.tell himyour lawyer told you to document his phone calls and threatrs and if he continuesthat charges will be filed for threatening with bodily harm,defimation of character,stalking just to name a few and those alone can put him away for up to 30+ yrs.so back off and leave me alone or have a happy rest of your life behind bars.

Just when my life is going along fine and I am recovering nicely from a disaster of a marriage, I get an e-mail from him today demanding an article he thinks I still have. January 28th makes the second anniversary of our divorce - MOVE ON!

A few months ago he said he didn't want to be friends or communicate with me anymore. Okay, that works for me. When we divorced, he did not pack one thing, I did. Furthermore, the mediation agreement says anything left after January 28th becomes my property. BUT I DON'T HAVE IT!!!

Right now I am going to ignore his e-mail. Any advice??? He just opened old wounds, is still angry with me for divorcing him and he has a gun!



They're just materialistic items. He's not the first and won't be the last to lose something in a divorce.

If you fear for your safety, get a gun. Then do your best to ignore and avoid him.

Not to be rude--but if you are 61--that means he has to be somewhere in the same age range--tell him to go in the yard and lay down--take a nap--its over. He has a gun--probably works as good as his weenie--probably shooting blanks. On a serious note--IGNORE HIM--if YOU communicate--you set the scene and that could become a problem. If you ignore him--he can't start any trouble. establish your boundaries and don't allow him to cross it. Lots of gun owners don't plan on using them on an ex--how stupid would that be?? BUT--if you really fear for your life--CONTACT THE LOCAL POLICE--get the legal low down on what YOU can do!! Good luck

Yes. Email him back and tell him you don't have what ever he's talking about. Please don't contact me again for any reason, if you find anything that belongs to me that I left throw it away, assume I don't want it, I'll do the same,. Certainly don't stop by uninvited or I will call the police. And do so. This guy is trying to harrass you.

That is exactly what I did. What's funny is the fact he kept going onto the screen name he uses with me, looking for my mail (which wasn't there), then logging off all day long for 2 days. Yes, I got a cheap thrill watching him suffer, waiting for my response. When he wrote me again saying I was ignoring his demand for the item, that's when I responded with "No, I am ignoring you and there is a vast difference." I told him I don't have it, to stop contacting me and to leave me alone. After I hit send, he came back on about 1 minute later (he must have me on his buddy list under his new unknown name) and read it. His response was "OK." To hell with him and his drunken illusions.

Oh! And now he is having his friends in NY call me at 2:30 am to ask for his phone number! Thank God someone else answered my phone
