writes:I think my mom is being stalked by her ex boyfriend and I'm worried she's taking it too lightly, she doesn't find this as a dangerous situation, but I think it is or at least could escalate to something more serious.He and her dated last year off and on. She was going through a hard time and he appeared to be there for her, but every nice thing he did for her, he acted as if she owed him something more. Throughout this year, after breaking up with him, she had gotten about 25 love letters left by her door, meaning he had to actually have been outside her home setting them down. He routinely drives through her parking lot on a weekly basis.He calls her a lot, she doesn't pick up. He will leave voice mails asking her to go on trips with him, to go out places, to just check in. He left concert tickets on her welcome mat once. At this point, this was after some of the voice mails he left turned sour. this morning I was visiting her place and she saw him walking towards her building. She ran to her room, scared because of his excessive behavior. I answered the door and lied to say my mom wasn't around. he left, but my mom was shooken up all day. this man makes her feel unsafe and he seems obsessive. It hasn't escalated to anything serious, he hasn't gotten violent, hasn't threatened her in any way. but I am just worried it will become more serious later on if she doesn't do something about it now. is there any way I can help here?

 She could stay at your place for a while if you both feel it is necessary. I doubt the police would be of any use as he has not really done anything illegal or threatening. She can have his number blocked and perhaps she can keep company around her until this man is properly dealt with.
This has been going on for almost about a year? My own mom was being stalked by some random guy off the street but he gave up after about three months. Your mother's ex doesn't seem to have a life...Your mother just needs to make sure that she is around people, friends or family, as long as she isn't alone. If she can, she should move immediately. I wish I could help more.
I hope that helps.
