Your page has been a lifesaver! It’s so easy to feel like you’re the only one dealing with stuff like this—the narcissist definitely tries to isolate you and make you think you’re crazy.

My crazy stalker ex-boyfriend kept sending them for five years after we broke up. I think the only thing that stopped them was the lockdowns.

I broke up with him in private the first time. But flying monkeys kept telling me I hadn’t done a formal breakup. So I broke up with him again in public a a party.

I offered to break up again with another group of people watching and listening, but he ran away from that offer.

There was one woman, a mutual acquaintance, who he had always bad mouthed behind her back, who took me aside, to check to see if I was being held prisoner by my parents, because that was the lie he told her.

I kept my temper, and said ‘I drove here by myself in my own car, what do you think?’ Then I asked if she would give me some advice about what to do with my ex. She told me she didn’t want to hear about it. I was trying to get an older woman’s advice on what to do about him staking out my house and tailing me in his car whenever he wasn’t at work. I really have never forgiven her for that.

And the answer I now know, is to call the cops every time so you have a record, it may not be illegal, but it’s great for evidence for why you need a restraining order.
