My soon-to-be ex recently moved in with his buddy and his buddy's wife and their grandkids (whom they are raising) because his utilities were shut off because he doesn't have a job and didn't pay his bills. Long story short, he hasn't even looked for a job since moving in with his buddy. His answer to his financial woes is to try to get into a drug study where they pay you cash for being a lab rat. He has tried to get into three studies. The first study, his BP was too high and they told him no. The second study he actually made it in, but when he showed for his inpatient stay, they did a UDS and he drank (he's an alcoholic) the day before and they kicked him out. I'm not sure what happened with the third. This past weekend apparently my ex decided to come home drunk and bring alcohol with him to hide in his buddy's home. The buddy and wife didn't appreciate it, so they told him to get out which is laughable because the wife likes her weed and the wife's sons have serviced prison time. They are just not the nicest people and now all of sudden they have standards, but it's their home and they can make and break the rules, not my problem. The buddy calls me and says "come get your husband, he had alcohol in my house and he was drunk and I don't appreciate it." I told him I was sorry to hear that, but that I would not be coming to pick him up because I am not responsible for him. I am divorcing him and he's not my problem. The buddy became irate and started screaming and cussing at me on the phone, telling me my ex will be homeless unless I pick him up to which I replied that's his problem. He started screaming at me about all that was wrong with my ex. Finally, I said "thank you, you just outlined all the reasons why I'm divorcing him" and I hung up the phone. Then the buddy's wife blows up my phone with all these vile text messages, calling me all kinds of filthy names, telling me I'm a lousy wife and lousy mother and that I dumped my problems on her doorstep and now I need to come and pick him up. I sent one text message that said "You took him in. I did not dump him. I am not his mother and I will not be taking care of him or picking him up. If you have a problem with him, deal with it yourself and leave me alone." She sent me at least 35 messages on Friday evening and then sent me about five on Saturday and Sunday. It is now Monday and I have received two more messages from her. Isn't this harassment? What can the police do to make this craziness stop? I've saved all the texts, but I'm not sure what legal recourse I have. These people are unstable and have had violent run ins with their neighbors in the past and I'm a little nervous as to what they might try to pull with me. I don't know if they know where I live or not, but I still don't appreciate their threatening behavior.
