Hey all,
I am a little on the frazzled side this week, my ex husband will be getting released from the prison sometime next week. I had put him in there for stalking and harassing me for the second time, this time he was in there for 8 and a half months. I am so worried about what he will do when he gets out. We live in a small town and I know I will run into him sooner or later. Everyone that I know tells me that he will not bother me since he will be on parole, but that did not stop him before. Neither did the restraining order. I know I should play it safe and keep an eye out for him, my boyfriend suggested a can of pepper spray to leave in the car and one for my own personal use. I would like some other ideas, please.
One good thing is that my boyfriend will be moving in with me in March, he can't move in sooner because of his lease.

Is there a way for you to move? I know that you have everything, probably a job, and many friends and family and what not where you are now. Sometimes we have to give up things for peace in our lives. If you and your BF moved away to a distant town for a few years until your ex can forget about you maybe he finds someone else to stalk then you can move back?

I do not want to move because I have a great job here and my daughter has friends here. I do however, have a great relationship with our local police officers here.

i would go stay w/my boyfriend till he could move in or he could stay w/you. just because he has a lease does't mean he has to sleep there. u be careful. i'm sure the local cops are aware he's getting out & what he's done but if they are like they are around here they want do anything. it's a shame u have to live in fear. it's an awful feeling. been theere, done that.

hello, this is some of my opinion, if you really try to run from him, what you can do is forget the small town then fly or move to other place and stay on that places. When your ex husband released from prison, he will not be able to find you again. You can stay far and far away as same like how much you are really hate your ex husband and don't want to see him anymore. Then you can stay with your new bf with a new place and new memory without any disturbing.
