Recently I was at the grocery store and ran into the sister of my last "real" relationship.
I got the brilliant idea to contact the ex... never a good idea! I just took flight from reality for a moment and, well, not a terrific result, in fact, I am now scared.

I just sent a note in an email to say hi and ask how he was. 2 months later (tonight) I recieved an incredibly horrible email from him calling me names and accusing me of all kinds of things that are not true. He actually threatened to "end me" if I contacted his sister and another life threatening remark. The email was full of misspelled words and typo's that led me to believe that he was drunk. I know that he is having a rough time and did I mention that he is only 21 yrs old? He has had a really tough time.
Now I am no push over, pansy wimp but my Spiritual belief doesn't allow for retaliation. Be that which you wish to see in the world is the philosophy I follow to the best of my ability. However, I read his letter to a friend that said that I might inform the police, and yet another who said,"what are you going to say back"... Not sure if I want to do either???? What do you think? (oh, there was a murder here in my small town 4weeks ago, so I am a little scared too)

Don't reply to him. If it was me, I wouldn't report it to the police unless it happened again.

And if he contacts you to apologize, don't respond then either.

Give him a call. Sounds like he really misses you.

Well, the guy is a little off... he also has and shoots guns for a hobbie. He has had a really bizzarr up bringing with a kid split family because a Morman father (a very confused Morman) who raised a sevearly autistic and violent child that attacked this kid everyday of his life for many years. Mom is a bar fly who brings home strays and brags about it to her three sons but never put in any love or attention to him. Wow, after hearing this from my own lips I am wondering what I was thinkin! (My sister had just died and I was a real mess, i guess it was a comfort (sex) thing?) SH*******T!

I'd keep detailed records of the whole thing, copy of e-mail, with a journal of everything, including word-for-word conversation as best as you can remember. Hopefully, it's over. If he contacts you again, put him in his place. Call police, file a TRO (temporary restraining order), and never overlook any behavior. React with power every time. He's obviously a coward and enjoys finding someone to control. Make sure he looks elsewhere as you're not an easy target.
