is it too extreme to get a restraining order in this situation?
my ex gf has been verbally harassing me over the past few months, sending me text messages that curse me out, call me worthless, and say "i hate you." i told her i didnt want to speak to her again, and the messages continue even when i do not respond. i have also received text messages from her cousin saying similar things, such as, i have done nothing for her, i never deserved her, f--- you, etc. and her roommate (who i have never met) sent me a facebook message saying "f--- you, a--hole" and her new girlfriend has called me twice tonight (i don't know how she got my number, we have never met or spoken) yelling at me for things and cursing me out and threatening to come to my house.
my question: is it too extreme to put a restraining order against my ex? the verbal abuse has been a lot to handle and it has been extremely upsetting and it's actually getting to me now so much so that i cannot handle it. is involving the law too much in this case? we are both 19, and so is her new gf. the roommate is 18 and the cousin is 15.

It is doubtful that a restraining order would be approved in this case. What they are saying is not nice, but there are not any threats to your safety either. But, you can file a report on her for harassment and they will tell her to stop and then if she does not she could get into bigger trouble. Also make sure you are documenting everything and saving all emails, texts and voice mail from them.

No it is not too extreme seeing what they are doing to you. They sound dangerous. Watch yourself and always lock your doors and never let her into your home or she may do worse. There was a news story on TV where and ex-girlfriend went to her ex's home and he let her in and she attacked him and killed him. Be careful. See if you can change your phone number and see if you can kick her off your facebook page. Go for the restraining order. They are sick and could be dangerous. Go to the police station and see what can be done as soon as possible.

If she has a new girlfriend, she has obviously moved on, so why the need to harass you? What are you doing to create this response from her and her friends?
