As for
@Knotorious (who apparently now speaks in the third person), he's been away for a week at the hospital. My ex girlfriend did something indescribably awful to me and I began experiencing insane amounts of anxiety and a strong urge to drink alcohol. I decided it would be wise to go to a psychiatric hospital for a short while in order to deal with what happened and to prevent myself from drinking, to cope with my immense emotional distress, and to get help from professionals with experiencing my negative emotions in a safe and positive environment.
My ex had reached out to me, hoping to be friends after not speaking to one another since I dumped her crazy ass this past December. I stupidly gave her a chance, but I quickly decided that I wanted nothing to do with her after she betrayed me months ago. I used some very strong language to tell her how I felt and instead of just accepting it and leaving me alone, she decided she would create a massive group text (containing the numbers of every single group text she had ever been invited into during our seven years together) and sent a collage containing very sensitive photos of me, along with my full name, phone number and address (it was a sadistic art project from the mind of a psycho b*tch). Photos that I had trusted her to keep private.
As a result, everyone from my cousins, to my aunt, to my parents, to my old au pair who took care of me as a child, to my sister, and to probably six of my parent's neighbors and friends, etc. received this collage containing multiple private, sensitive photos of me. Not only has this literally traumatized me, and thoroughly embarrassed me, but my poor parents -- who had nothing to do with this -- are now thoroughly traumatized and embarrassed because so many of their neighbors received the pictures. Before I went to the hospital, my father called me in a state of distress beyond what I've ever heard from him in a very long time, stating that it was "the worst day of his life." My mom, also horrified, said she felt like she wants to move now.
So, yeah. I'm not in a good place right now. Easily the single most traumatic thing that's ever happened to me and the fact that my ex has involved my parents makes me beyond enraged. Long story short, I am getting a restraining order against my ex, and then getting the best lawyer I can find and filing a lawsuit against her. Also going to be speaking with the police to see if I can press charges.
The upside is that my ex girlfriend was EXCEPTIONALLY careless and I can prove that she was behind the text (which she sent from a random number) EXTREMELY easily because she made multiple threats to do this towards the end of our relationship through text message, and also threatened to do this via text two days prior to actually doing it, and there is also proof in the form of multiple email exchanges before and after it happened.
Anyways, you all are like family and I really needed to get this out there and see if maybe any of you guys and gals have some suggestions for how to address this from angles that I haven't yet considered. She thinks she's bulletproof. This crazy b*tch is a freaking school teacher! I would never in my life consider doing something so heinous to anyone! No matter how much I might abhor them. At a minimum, aside from it possibly being criminal, I can sue for defamation of character and emotional distress. And not just me, it's my parents as well who have become the innocent victims of a sociopathic, psychotic ex girlfriend.
Sorry for the lengthy post. I'm shaking right now as I relive this shit. Nobody should ever have to go through something like this. NOBODY deserves this. My parents and I DEFINITELY did not deserve this.
