Family and Friends Forum

Just as I thought I was through the other end of the journey and starting to rebuild my life it all comes back and hits me even harder.

I left the relationship completly after a guilty plea, there was too much happening for me to stay and too many lies for me to get past.



I had decided to try and move on and let myself back into the outside world. After over a year of hiding away I needed to do it. I went back to doing things I used to love which led me to speaking to someone over the past month or so. It was clear from the beginning that this was a friendship and nothing more, most of our conversations revolved around him rekindling with his ex so seemed like boundaries were clear and ok.

I never really discussed my ex but he asked about why we broke up etc. I lied of course, I wanted to protect him still. He had a very close suicide attempt recently and although I don't want to continue the relationship I also don't want him dead! I confided in him about the attempt and that although we aren't together it still hurts.

Time ticks on and we spoke a lot and he obviously learnt a lot about me, he's decided to start googling my ex and came across the news story. He found a way to contact him and started sending him some pretty awful messages. Unfortunately he has pretty available contact information due to him owning his own business. Now he's text me essentially threatening to spread it as far as he can online and basically goad my ex into another suicide attempt.


I don't know what to do, to protect myself, the kids or to protect my ex.
