What seems a fair amount of time to allow said mentally ill ex, location unknown, to pick up said belongings? A year from the date of the final decree?

- likewise how long would you give them to get off your cell plan? I'm not actually sure how much that is costing me, and I have found it useful to be able to check his phone records in case there's any indication he's coming near me. Six months maybe?

There are a few other entanglements like insurance for my car (his car is on its own plan), but that I don't have any compunctions about removing him from as soon as I have the decree to show them (though it won't save me money).

Am I being too generous? At least one therapist (3) thought so, before I even started proceedings. And where I'm really hung up is he's on my Amazon Prime account - uses the shipping, video, music features a lot (we can't see each other's actual account information like address, though I can see what he puts on the watchlist - I sometimes get the feeling he puts specific titles on there to send me a message). I can't bring myself to do the two mouse clicks that it would take to remove him, because, what if it's giving him some pleasure in what is so obviously a terrible life for him?
I agree with SD, I think you have already been too generous. I did read your further post where you are afraid of him, so that is definitely something to be taken into account. That is a tough situation, and I feel like I can't give well-informed advice here. Have you talked to CW about any of this?

I am more concerned about your paranoia levels. They have seemed to get worse over the past week or two. What has changed?

I don't hate you, and do not think you are a socio/psychopath.
Thanks for this!
