How can I help stop the harassing phone calls and threats?

My father has recently (3 years?) split up with my mother. She was a raging alcoholic, and left her children for an ex convict while my father was overseas with the military. They officially got divorced a year and a half ago, and she lives with her nasty boyfriend. My father has also found a girlfriend, who my brother and I both love. She has three daughters. My mother has made it her main focus to ruin my father’s girlfriend’s life by targeting her reputation, as well as the reputation of her daughters and other family. My mother still believes my father wants to be with her, and will do anything to try and split he and his girlfriend up. My mother has threatened the three daughters, stolen license plates, stalked family members, made harassing phone calls, and even approached houses uninvited. She has no custody whatsoever of my brother and I, yet insists we must see her. She says my father’s girlfriend is keeping my brother and I from their mother. The truth is we absolutely cannot stand her. She is unfit to parent. Recently, my father’s girlfriend and her youngest daughter moved in with my father, brother, and I. Tonight, my crazy mother created a fake Facebook account and contacted the daughter, telling her that she doesn’t belong in our house and making all sorts of nasty threats. She’s getting worse, and filing police reports has done nothing to help since my mother is being coached by an ex convict on how to avoid the law. Any suggestions on how to stop the harassment and threats would be greatly appreciated.

The court system IS on your side. Your dad needs to get a restraining order. That will keep her at a distance. Next step is to document all her “actions”. Report those that are considered threats. One, two, three threats to the police is no big deal. When it gets up above say twenty or twenty-five, police will start to arrest her. Her bail money will run out eventually and she will stop. Hopefully.

My dad doesn’t seem to think documenting it will help. He hasn’t had the time to get a restraining order, but I need to get on him about it. Thanks for the reply :)

If you don’t get the law on your side then you need to seek the advice of a lawyer so YOU don’t end up being arrested yourself.

Restraining order is a must! Your mother diffenantly has major issues and is doing thing that can and will only get worse. She sounds very unstable and people who are unstable can snap and become very dangerous. She has way crossed the lines. PLEASE talk to your dad and his girlfriend and get them to file a rstraining order. Everytime she viloates it they will arrest her and each time the bail will get higher and higher. This really sounds serious. Good Luck!
