Notifying Authorities

Being in a relationship can be difficult when a partner is seen as clingy, and this often leads to the end. Those who have had enough of a person being completely dependent upon them often find it restrictive and controlling. They want a partner in life instead of a child to care for, and this is the reason they choose to walk away. Some of them fail to realize that the person they have been with is controlling, and they will seek to continue it to regain their partner. When this person begins their quest, notifying authorities that they are harassing their former partner is the first step that should be taken.

Many people see this step as admitting they are fearful, and they often skip it. They do not wish to look foolish in the eyes of officials, and they might believe they can handle it. It is a bad idea to keep the information private because there is no way for the police to help them, so they should at least file a grievance or report. It is just one of the many steps they might have to take to restrain the other person.

If the harassment continues, the authorities might brand their former partner as a stalker, and some societies will offer advice on remaining safe. It is important to follow their directives, but it is also a good idea to research opportunities to leave the area. While a physical move might seem extreme, it could be the only way to get rid of a stalker the police are unable to catch.

The authorities have not always taken this issue seriously, but enough injuries and deaths have occurred to make them pay attention these days. In areas where they do take it seriously, there is often a good deal of help available to the victim of a former partner’s obsession.
