Woman wonders if she is being stalked

By Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

If you genuinely think it would be helpful, you could contact his ex, who might provide some insight.

Install a "No Trespassing" sign in a visible spot at the end of your driveway. If this man comes on to your property again and it makes you uncomfortable, you could send him a letter via priority mail: "I have posted a 'No Trespassing' sign at the edge of my property. Please do not come on to my property or contact me again."

If you see him on your property and/or if he contacts you after this, you should look into legal remedies.

Dear Amy: I come from a family that travels a lot.

Each time one of us is on the road, my mother insists that we call her halfway to the destination and again once we get there.

She will map out exactly how long it should take us to get from A to B with no traffic, extra stops, going the speed limit, etc., and if we don't call at the time she thinks we should have completed the trip, she will start blowing up our phones with multiple text messages and phone calls demanding to know where we are and why we haven't called.

 

My phone does not sync to my car, so I would have to physically answer her by text or phone call.

We've explained that what she is doing is dangerous and does nothing except stress everyone out. She refuses to stop.

She did this to me tonight while I was at the end of a five-hour drive that ended well past midnight. Then she had the nerve to scold me for worrying her.

Your thoughts?
