Thanks for responding to my post. I'm sorry that happened to your mother as well. I told him over the phone when I broke up with him. I am also starting to keep records of everything. Just to be on the safe side. I will get a retraining order if he continues. If it gets worse I am going to have no choice but to do so. I tell him all the time, but he keeps bothering me because he thinks I am not. It pisses me off that he doens't take my words seriously even when I involve the police. Thanks so much for the advice. I have no intentions on getting back with him what so ever. Yes, I think my ex boyfriend has a mental problem and he needs help. I feel sorry for him too, but I need to think about myself and my life now and stop feeling sorry for him. I hope all works out with you and your mother and she can finally leave your father for good. You both deserve a better life. I want to thank you again for all your advice and for sharing. If you ever need to talk I am here to listen. How are things going now??I hope to hear from you soon.
