Help-Need Advice

Last 2 years I have had to deal with my husbands abusive ex and it finally got to me. She lies, cheats, steals, sends come on texts to my husband, rumors, tells her kids that I am the reason she left him, says I cheated with her husband when I didn't even know him then and is a con artist. Even after March 6 when I finally blew up on her she still is up to her old tricks, she wont stop with the most recent we moved on a wed and not even 24 hours later she threatened to have us arrested for kidnapping her kids. This from a woman who cheated on her husband their entire marraige, then abandoned her own kids in the mid morning refusing to see them for 9 month straight. Anyways I finally went to see a therapist who handed me klonopin and also prescribed me antidepressants and told me no use in talking to me every week it wont help til there is family counseling between all of you. So I went home and looked up the side affects of the meds and will not take the anti-depressants, but am taking the anxiety klonopin as needed.

Is he right? I mean is it useless to talk to someone once a week or is this doctor just a once a month 15 minute money stealer?

I do know i need the klonopin as needed, because I do get the anxiety attacks

Also she calls and texts at all hours of the night. We have asked her to only call in emergencies, but she constantly is calling for no reason at all (Note: She got married yesterday). So should we change our cell numbers and mask them so she can only call and the masked number can be deleted if she abuses it?

How do we get her to leave us the heck alone?

I'm not insane yet, but I may be if she keeps this up

We don't care if she talks about us or what she says as long as she doesn't talk to the kids, so that is covered, but how do we get her to leave us alone?
Thanks for any advice given.

Thank you. We do log everything and are considering possible peace order. You have great point about being on antidepressants now makes it more of a big deal, so maybe someone will take me more serious now.

My husband has decided to step up his response and be more no-nonsense with her and threaten to take her back to court to reorder the custody agreement if she continues to harass us and confide in the kids.

It's so nice to hear your encouragement and ideas I never thought of the fact she caused me to be on antidepressants makes it more of a big deal.

Thanks,
Crissy

Your psychiatrist is a quack.  You don't need medication, you need a solution.  And you can always go to therapy for your own issues.

Did you go to police for harrasment? Write down every single detail what she says or does about you, write down the time the incidents occur, get any witnesses and on the end go to police and file charges/complaint. Even get a lawyer. Some may say you have no case but since she is causing you to take antidepressants it is a big deal indeed.

Also get another therapist. Talking to a professional once a week is very useful
