I do not feel I am being actively followed; he lived in this town before the incident. So I do not want to make him feel good about himself by making him think I fear him by getting a restraining order unless I need to, and if I were to accidentally run across him when he was drinking, I know a restraining order would be of no influence on his actions. That is my biggest fear--seeing him drunk (I believe he is an alcoholic). It is just hard having him here. The most he has done so far is try to contact my husband--he told a mutual aquaintance that he didn't dislike my husband, but only me, and that my husband should contact him. (We all used to be friends.) My husband was in obvious shock and disbelief of his attitude, as am I, and of course did not look him up.
