My baby day was abusive to my children and I and he was heavily narcissistic. Even called his family and threatened that I would be dead multiple times. Almost caused our daughter to be born at 27 weeks (he pushed me, I was already high risk, started dilating and having contractions. Got put on bed rest rest of the pregnancy). Those are just two of the worst incidents.

When we separated, his family wanted me to stay with them, which I should’ve known better but I was naive. Anyways, his brother and SIL started asking me what I was going to do with custody. They started telling me that I should go for full custody and told me what reasoning to use to get it. I later caught on that they were in on some weird game he was playing, but I cut it off before I could get too close to what their “goal” was.

This was in June. I just got awarded full custody and he’ll be getting the papers that tell him the verdict (since he didn’t show up to any court proceedings) this week. The memory of his family trying to “help”, in mixture of his multiple death threats and previous stalking, makes me nervous that they were/will be planning to do something to me as a result. I have gotten a restraining order since then but he’s already tested the waters on breaking it since, including using 3rd party to try to bully and taunt me into removing it - which a lawyer told me was illegal.

Should I be worried that they will try to hurt me? I am getting scared.
