This is good information. I too have had experiences with people who had stalker like tendencies, although my own experience doesn't seem as severe as yours.Susan Joy Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15175162058220262157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014794345851547607.post-56599196119720690232016-07-31T16:03:58.069-04:002016-07-31T16:03:58.069-04:00Well, yes, I can imagine it. I was stalked for yea...Well, yes, I can imagine it. I was stalked for years and years the first time. The only thing that stopped the first stalker was my move to Europe as a college student. And "pretty freaked out" is an accurate way to describe the feeling.<br /><br />The second time, it took 2 years from the first incidents to get the court protections in place. This woman would do things that ranged from the extremely frightening to just outrageous, even with the restraining order. For example, one morning I was going to get in my car and I looked over at what had been an abundant flower garden. Now it was only holes and dirt. I drove up the street and low and behold my garden was planted in front of the woman's house. The police said that because there were no serial numbers on the plants they couldn't prove they were mine, though all the neighbors went over and said that they were. The police confronted her with the theft when she was throwing a pool party for her husband's colleagues. She was out in her front yard screaming at the cops. Soon after her husband sold their house. Thank goodness.<br /><br />It's a horrible way to live - though it makes good fodder for a plot.<br /><br />Fiona <br /><br />Fiona Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09446624235636372505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5014794345851547607.post-75746268969923362472016-07-31T15:12:54.097-04:002016-07-31T15:12:54.097-04:00I have a stalker book too!

I feel very badly for the people who have stalkers who go on for years and years. Can you imagine having someone stalk you for eight years?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04217192664906748187noreply@blogger.com
