My friend broke up with this guy well over 2 years ago. He was really bad news from the beginning, but she was lonely and he plied her with all sorts of expensive jewelry and gifts and she went for it. They dated for quite some time never steady because he would do demented things like demand that she wear a certain dress, wear only so much make-up a real control freak. They had major blow-ups and the last straw for her came when after a fight, he broke into her home and decapitated all her stuffed animals, let her lizards and exotic birds out of their cages and let all her cats out.
So she broke up with him for the final time and he was so devastated, he split for back East. She lives out here on the West Coast.
OK, fast forward to this Christmas when I get a panicked call from her because she has received a Christmas card from him. Her first contact in 2 years. The card is signed Jeri and Jim Jones (as if they are married!) Inside, is a Christmas letter to all their "friends" talking about what he and jeri did as a couple during that year! it really creeped her out. Then he had an aside for her telling her he was coming to California soon to "take her back forcefully or peacefully" because they were "meant" to be together! She was seriously creeped out and had been having nightmares since the card arrived.
She has been to the police, they can do nothing till he gets into the state, because right now, there is nothing but threats. I told her to do several things, to install a security system, buy a guard dog, take self-defense classes and get a re-issuance on the last restraining order she had against him. If anyone else can think of anything else please let me know. I also told her she can come and stay with us, but she has a good job, she takes care of an ailing father and her daughter's kids, so her upheaving her life right now is really out of the question.
