Should I get a Non-Molestation Order against my ex?
Hi Guys,
My ex partner and I have been split for over 6 years now, basically we had a child together via IVF Treatment and six months after our son was born my ex decided that she "no longer wanted to be with me and she had gotten what she wanted" (Yes thats what she said when she left) Anyway after her refusing to let me see my son we eventually came to an agreement before we went to court that I have my son alternate weekends.
My son and I have have a fantastic relationship together and do loads of "dad and lad" things together and we laugh alot! I pay CSA and I am actually in credit with them, however, my ex is constantly demanding more money from me and if I refuse then I get lots of abusive text messages, which I keep backed up to my laptop. A few months back my mental health took a turn for the worse and I ended up in hospital with severe depression and being diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. Unfortunately, my ex partner found out I was in hospital and has been sending some really vicious text messages to me, saying things like, "I am sick in the head" and "Our son is not safe around you" all of which are not true in the slightest and she has not stopped me having my son alternate weekends.
Obviously, these text messages are hurtful and I have asked her on several occasions to stop with the personal attacks and that I only want contact with her to talk about our sons upbringing. However, she either cools off and the starts again weeks later or she persists always having one more final dig. At one point she texted me saying that she was going to call the Police and tell them that our son is unsafe around me.
What can I do? Can I make an application for a Non Molestation Order, she has not threatened violence at all, however, these nasty messages have been going on for several years and they are beginning to take their toll on my emotional well-being.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
