My abusive ex boyfriend (who I dated when I was 14, he was 24,)
Possible trigger:
texted me yesterday

It was a really simple text like: "hey kori, it's _____ text me here's my work #______________"

I blocked the number but I'm trying really hard not to freak out
He tried to add me on facebook recently and I had to block him then too and it's just spiraling I'm scared because he knows where I live and I'm worried he may try to come to my house randomly.

I think he won't because he's had my address for years and hasn't randomly dropped by but he hasnt had a reason to before...

I dont want to go to the police, I called them when I was 14 about him and they just said it was my fault, told me they'd "see what they could do" and left and never contacted me again. I'm pretty sure they threw out my case so I don't think I can get a restraining order against him ,

Possible trigger:


So I don't think I could prove to the court that he's a threat to me anymore, especially since I'm not 14 and I'm sure the court will say he was a pedophile and I'm 21 now

I dont know what to do. I blocked his number so hopefully that is the end of that, but I'm still pretty scared

Have you talked about this to anyone besides the police? Im sorry this is happening and what he did... You are very strong and are right to never let him in your life again. Please get help from someone you trust.

You are being wise by not engaging him IMO. He should not believe you are afraid of him because often that gives an abusive individual a sense of power where they may pursue further. By not engaging "you" have the power and that is what you need to maintain.

The only way I would engage him is to send him a text telling him that if he ever tried to contact me again in any way, shape or form that I'd go to the authorities about what he did to me when I was a minor.

SOB's like this make me mad as the hot place!

I agree...by not engaging with this individual you have the power.

Engaging in any way often fuels an abusers intent.....no contact whatsoever is the safest way to go.
