@kristiedegaris is there some sort of civil action you can take, bypassing the police, that engages the legal system? maybe that’s a step you can take. don’t ever be afraid to write or talk about something like this. i fully understand a lot of what you wrote, on a personal level, but i’m not exactly in your shoes.

@BlaynePuklich The police suggested it but it costs thousands and thousands of pounds to do it and if it drags on, which it can, over ten grand. Like most people am not in a financial position to engage with that.

I think stalking just instills this deep-seated really wary anxiety, and of course I worry by saying something things will get worse. But I've kept quiet for 4 years now and it's gotten worse anyway.

@kristiedegaris of course you're going to worry that saying anything will make it worse, that's part of what's counted upon. screw that, say lots. all the time, any time. like you said, keeping silent does no good. do not give up. there has to be more that can be done, something, that makes this person leave you alone.
