I have a family member who fell out with many members of the family. It is me who is receiving the sharp end of the stick through a campaign of harrassment over the past two and half years. I thought all this would blow over and I changed my number in process but individual got my new number.
The harrassment has been very heavy with 100s and 100s of abusive messages. Also emails, fake facebook profiles, and so much more. Private number calls.
When this person got my new number and started back up with the abusive texts, I unfortunately responded but I haven't since January. The messages are still coming in.
I see that there is a lot of anger in her messages. A lot of poison. I see that she's trying to provoke a response or a reaction out of me. I realise that she will only take huge delight in something like that and claim to be the abused party.
Amongst many of her abusive messages were messages telling me to stop prank calling her too. Thing is, I'm not phoning her. I've got better things to be doing. I wrote here recently about my work and got a mod to delete after some weeks because I gave away too much information. Basically overworked and underpaid and in fact I'm writing this from work. I've been working since Friday and I won't be finished til Sunday evening. My back is breaking and my head is killing me as if I was out boozing non stop. Basically, I have far too much happening in my life really and I'm far far to busy to be phoning her.
I'm finding this all very very very stressful. My father is sick in hospital and I got a call this morning. It was private number. I don't usually answer them but I did this time this it might be the hospital. It wasn't and it was another prank call. Over the course of the day more and more calls came in which went unanswered. Not only that it was eventually accompanied by abusive messages from the person who is so confusing consumed and wrapped up in my life.
I finally made it to the Gardai this week. I got on well and I agreed with the officer about going down the informal route of a Garda phoning her to give her a warning. I don't know what the outcome of that was.
Thing is, all the abuse had started back up again today. The calls and the message after message of pure dirt and filth.
What now?
I unfortunately didn't go to the correct Garda station at first. I went to the one in the city and because I'm from another part of town he referred me to another Garda station. In that Garda station, the officer mentioned a court order as a possible option available to me.
Because this is family, I would ideally like to avoid going down the route of making a formal statement and getting things down the route of the DPP.
All this has to stop.
So far, it's early days in the informal warning route but it appears it hasn't been enough for this person. What now?
