I have 2 kids with my ex who was super abusive, controlling, etc. this year. He’s used 3rd party to keep up with my life, tried to use to 3rd party to kidnap me and steal the kids, tried to manipulate me into dropping the restraining order, has threatened my life multiple times, illegally evicted the kids and I, his mom publicly harassed me on social media, his family stole my mail, etc. (which was weird to me considering HE is the one who broke it off). It FINALLY stopped and he just fell off the face of the earth 5 months ago, I think, because one - I went to court and got custody & child support (I hadn’t for months because he told me I’d be too stupid to do it and that he would just take the kids from me if I do), and, secondly, he supposedly has a new girlfriend as of last week. My therapist said he probably got bored, realizing I wasn’t entertaining his abuse anymore, and moved on.

Well, as well as him having a new girlfriend, I also have a boyfriend. We’ve been together for 6 months. I havent posted anything about him because I am worried my ex and/or his family will harass him. As well as the fact that I didn’t want that to be ammunition for him to try to fight custody (he was INSANELY jealous). However, I think he knows *something* because my boyfriend tagged me in something and someone he knows saw it and asked me if he was around my kids and I said no (which was true at the time). But I want to post a picture from Thanksgiving but I’m worried that he or someone he knows will somehow see it and assume he spends time around them and it’ll start some crazy shit from him again. But I don’t know if there’s really anything my ex can do anymore since he forfeit custody last week.
