It seems so unfair. There also another possible solution. You say your house is paid for. ..So, you might be able to get food stamps from welfare if you are a mom with young children and a five year money grant. That is what a friend told me. Second hand information only. They might also help you go to school and get job training. You can get the deed to the house, and place that in a safety deposit box along with other important documents i.e. SSI card, and fast cash just in case. Then get a retraining order if possible, and change all the locks allowing entry into the house. Literally take your life back. Again this is dangerous if he is truly a stalker or worse. This may even be more dangerous than just leaving. Just a thought. Your situation really is bothering me. It seems so unfair. There also another possible solution.

Sorry. Here is a question, are you a strong woman? Do you have kids? Are you a stay at home mom? Hopefully you are lucky enough to be just a housewife with no responsibility of young kids. This is.your best way out! Pray. Get a safety deposit box. Hide all your information i.e your birth records, bank cards, money, SSI cards, anything and everything you will need to safely get yourself out. Then use what little money you have on those credit cards to get a job. Keep the job quiet. He finds out about it...he will try and make you quite. Save the money you make and put it in the safety deposit box. When you think you have enough money, one day go to your lonely bedroom and don't be there when he wakes up. Leave in the mist of night and go to a homeless shelter. Seek abuse counselor, they may send you to a divorce lawyer and that will be the start of your new life. Hopefully he isn't a stalker or something worse. So pray your transition will be the worst part of the escape. P.S. You can't afford a safety deposit box...15 years ago Family Catholic Services in many parts of the country had people who help protect woman against DV for free. The organization would hold all your money, and identification during the course of making an escape, upon living you didn't have to stay and fight for the things you might need. It allowed a woman to make her escape from the house with nothing more than the cloths on her back. The man is more than likely willing to allow the woman to leave because he thinks she going to return for her things. This is why you need everything secretly out the house. The less you physically leave the house with is best because you can move quicker and more quieter, and the less you have to protect if he confronts you. More importantly the less he see you leaving with the more faith he will have that you are coming back. That may allow you the time needed to get out the house and get where you have to go safely.

He has tried to defame me and is blackmailing me. The stalker have done the following since 2007. Can you suggest someone or who I should go to in order to stop the stalking. I have gone to the cyberstalking gov agent and he told me to go to NY/NJ as they are more adept at this kind of crime. 1. There were many phone calls between March 2007-August 2007, when I would pick up the phone and no one answered it. 2. I was stalked on the road several times. Someone would follow me from work to home. 3. My personal computer at home was hacked. The screen backdrop was changed and so were all my email accounts hacked. The stalker/s could read all my mails. Therefore any guy (dating) I meet for the past 3 years behaved weirdly. 4. The stalker had access to my office computer at the Co. I worked as well. Someone at my Co. was a mole. 5. At the workplace someone had hacked into my personal accounts to find out more about my SS# etc., and therefore we were all sent credit report alerts. 6. My house was broken into and my mail corresponding to mortgage payment was opened. 7. The stalker can still read all my emails in spite of changing passwords several times. 8. The stalkers have also hacked my parent’s computers too. 9. The stalker also tried to defame me by posting messages on Google that would turn up when someone searched for me since 2009 till now. 11. The stalker has tried to derail/rig my job search process in 2009 and even now. He has rigged my every effort to get a job or date any other man. 12. The stalker intercepts my phone message and any message I get over the cell phone. 13. The stalker has befriended my best friends. My best friend in another country knew everything I was doing in the US on a daily basis. I have similar situation with my friends and collegues in the US. They seem to know my current situation in spite of not letting anyone about them. I confronted my friend and she denied everything. I have told them about the stalker but they are either ignoring since the stalker has probably harassed them or is giving them incentives, such as a good job, etc. How do I put an end to this person's emotional abuse and how can I protect myself. He is trying to control my life. I am being emotionally abused by someone who knows me, but I dont know him. He has tried to defame me and is blackmailing me.
