    Hi I am being the target of abuse by my boyfriend's ex girlfriend and I don't know what to do, it has got to the point where I can't enjoy myself. I have been to the guards but all they have suggested was a retraining order but it wont work as it's mostly abuse online.

    I have a cousin who is studying law at the minute and they said I would have a decent case if I recorded the abuse down. Of course I don't want it to go to court but after a while I am seriously considering it :( I've tried sorting things out but it just falls on deaf ears and I'm the one that's laughed at because I'm trying! I've recently been PM'd by a user asking a few strange questions so I think she is sending people to do her dirty work and fish for some information :confused:

    I'm at my wits end and would love some advice!

    Your cousin gave you some excellent advice.
    1. Start an abuse diary - record all abuse including any witnesses.
    2. Keep all records, even print them out.
    3. Seek legal advice
    4. Can you report / block this abuser on-line? Many sites have anti-bullying measures.

    When you have a body of evidence then again go to the Gardai or see what your solicitor advices.

    Whatever you do though - never react or reply to this abuse - keep a copy and ignore it.
    Also take steps to protect yourself incase it escalates from just being online to being physical or in person.
