    How to Stop Contact and Harassment
    My question involves restraining orders in the State of: Interstate VA to CT

    Here is my story.I am sorry that this may end up long to give all the details. I moved in with a friend while trying to relocate "home". My children and I stayed almost 3 months with her family. During that time, things got bad. She was fighting with her husband constantly; she was the one yelling and screaming and threatening to stab him with a steak knife. A couple times when I was on job interviews she verbally attacked my children. She flipped out on me one day, and when I went to calmly talk to her she, she looked at me with darts in her eyes and told me to "walk away quickly". So I did. My children and I left that morning for the weekend.

    A few hours later she started calling me on my cell phone. Over and over and over and...I have many voice mails from her threatening to turn me into social services for being a bad mother. The first call I took from her she was crying and saying how sorry she was for "freaking out". At the end of the first call she asked where I was going and I informed her my boyfriend invited me and the kids for the weekend. She started screaming at me at which time I hung up. That's when all the phone calls started. Because my children aren't really fond of my boyfriend, she accused me of being a bad mother for taking them there (it was a 5 hour drive) and they wanted to go to get away from her. Then it became worse. She started calling me a slut. She was going to turn me for not caring for my kids. She was going to take them away from me, blah, blah, blah...over and over and over for the entire weekend, text messages and voice mails were non-stop.

    I called her husband on Monday when I was returning to get my things. He said that things got really bad over the week-end with her. Long story short, She called the police on him saying that he had pushed her. They arrived and after speaking with both of them, they arrested her. She had to go to court the next day. After court, she returned to the police department to have her bruises documented. I asked her husband what bruises and he didn't know. I informed him that I had seen 2 bruises on her inner arm the Friday morning before she freaked out on me, and also one on her ankle area. I specifically asked her where she got the bruises from and she looked at them and said she didn't know.

    Next thing I know, the investigator from the PD called me and asked me if I could describe where her bruises were located and when I saw them. I told him. He asked me to come down and make a statement regarding what I had shared with him, so I did. While at the station, he pulled up the photos she had them take and they were exactly where I had described them to the officer. We wrote up the statement, I swore to it and signed it. He then asked me when I had retrieved my belongings from her home. I told him that when I was finished there I was going to pick up the rest of my things. He informed me that I should have a police escort. He took me to the desk and had the dispatcher call an officer.

    I went and got my things. Not with out her trying to get a reaction out of me. She kept saying things, lies about me to the officer who went with me. I never reacted. The minute I pulled out of the driveway she was calling me. She continued to call me periodically for a few days; once again always saying the same thing that she was going to report me to social services.

    Finally things stopped about five days ago. Only to start back up again. Now she is calling my phone, sending texts and emails. I think she found out about my statement to the police because one of the emails said "keep running your mouth, I can fix you!" I have not spoke to her or anyone, except her husband, who she has contact with. How do I put an end to this? I ended up moving back to the state I had left because my job was not coming through quickly enough. So I am not even in the same state. Now, she has said that she has turned me into both states and that they are coming after me. I know based on what ever she could say, nothing would happen except a pointless investigation that would go no where. However, the constant contact is enough. I have nothing to say to her and do not want to hear any thing she has to say. What can I do?

    When did you tell her to stop contacting you, and to never contact you again?

    The day that I retrieved my belongings and she called as I was pulling out of the driveway; which would have been August 16th. She has continually called and as a matter of fact, just called again right before I checked this message board.
