Been awhile since I post here. Remember this Guy?

Well he's back in the picture, and not in a good way.

I'm cross posting this from my livejournal so this is a few days out of date. I'm deth_pixie there if you want to check me out.

********************

I've been having a bit of trouble the past few days. An old boyfriend, who I dumped about 3 years ago has reappeared out of the woodwork. By calling my house pretty much 24/7.

At first I put it off as him drunk dialling and apologized to my family for him calling at 1am and tried to put it out of my mind. Yesterday I returned from work to a highly angry family who were made so by the fact that the calling had continued throughout the day, accompanied by some very weird texts (our house phone can get both) asking me to marry him, a guy I haven't seen for 3 years. Freak.

My mum and sister were just waiting for him to call again so they could let rip at him and my brother and dad asked me if I could remember where he lived (I vaguely did but I wasn't going to tell them, I rather prefer they didn't wind up in jail for GBH).

I calmed them down and made a few jokes about how the family always seemed to attract the nutters (brothers ex was also a psycho - long story) and the rest of the day was phone call free.

At midnight, everyone just settling into bed. The phone starts again. Now the fear hits. I just stare at the phone while my mum pulls the cable out the wall, something we were trying to avoid just in case a real emergency happened and we needed it. She hugs me for a bit and tells me that today she's going to call the operator and have his number blocked. I thank her and have a night of very uneasy sleep.

No phone calls yet today, but I'm jumping at every little sound. Mainly, and this is something I didn't mention to my mother because I didn't want to worry her, if we cut off his phone calls and he doesn't get any acknowledgement that way, even if it was just abuse from my sister... he knows where I live. He turned up last year, completely drunk and tried to get my mother to give him my mobile phone number. What's stopping him from turning up?

I hate this.

EDIT: My mum called the operator, at 12:30 tonight his phone will be blocked and he'll no longer be able to call the house. I know that might mean the end of all this but at least the 1 o'clock in the morning phone calls will stop putting everyone on edge.

Gaia Edit: Since blocking his phone he hasn't tried to get back into contact. I think the message has finally sunk in. Hooray!
