If your ex has a new girlfriend is he less likely to go through with his threats to kill you?
No! If he's abusive and you left him (even if he left you and
you are dating again) he, as an abuser can still feel the urge to
control you and often will. An abuser doesn't like to feel that
"one got away." Some abusers can be less aggressive and may make
the odd phone call to you or run into you at the places you
frequent, but it goes no further than this is you stand firm. Since
this person has threatened to kill you (hopefully by phone) then
please tape record (on your speaker phone) those phone messages and
take them into the police. NEVER stay alone, go into underground
parking lots to your car, stay in well lit areas and try to be with
a friend, cowork while walking too and from your work and leave
malls with groups of people and not alone. It is legal to carry
pepper spray (works because I use it) but illegal in some States
and Canada to use Mace.
DO NOT put yourself in a position of meeting with him or having
him to your home!!!!! DO NOT keep in contact with him! DO NOT
engage in arguments with him! HE'S DANGEROUS AND NEVER
UNDERESTIMATE THIS GUY!!!!
If the police can do little then go to your local Women's Abuse
Center and they will help, and if you can't find where there is one
then go to your local Mental Health and they will lead you in the
right direction.
