Stalking and Cyberstalking: Resources for Victims
My X has escalated tonight. It was expected.Tonight I am researching the laws surrounding stalking and cyberstalking. Since I've started this blog I have followed the mission of Alexis Moore because she is an inspiration to me and many others. I love stories where people take a stand and refuse to be a victim. There was a time when I was so beaten down emotionally that I wasn't able to stand up to my X. I now have that power and damn, does it feel good!Why am I researching stalking and cyberstalking? A beautiful, brave woman in Northern California came forward to help me with my case. Despite being afraid for her own personal safety, she put my daughter's well-being first and wrote a declaration about my X husband and the disturbing behaviors that she has seen over the past few years. Tonight she is feeling the wrath of my X and has been inundated with the same text messages that I receive from him: "You are a terrible human being. How Dare you! Karma will treat you...I hope you can't sleep realizing you've damaged children. You are destined for a lonely life. How do you sleep?"The text messages are relentless and frightening. He knows how to operate within the perimeters. She sent him a "cease and desist" letter weeks ago-- by email and in writing. He can't stop himself.If you are the victim of cyberstalking or any type of stalking, I encourage you to contact Survivor's in Action for help.Here are two great resources from their website:Safety Plan Worksheet for Victims of Stalking or CyberstalkingStalking and Cyberstalking Incident LogI am incredibly grateful for the women who have come forward to help my daughters.
